KARLSTEN POV

After the incident inside the plane I decided there is no point to argue with her it's best I stay silent and talk to her when needed. The moment she keeps asking about the Council I swear if I'm human I'll be sweating. Glad I'm a vampire and so as Ava we can hide our nervousness.  We reached our destination and I'm hoping for a better outcome. That's why when she recognized Eloise I was the first to speak my thoughts.

"You remember everything now?" I asked while waiting for her answer.

"Remember what Elder?" She raised her eyebrow at me weirdly.

"Your mom Eloise, me, Ava and the twins." I identified one by one.

"I don't know any of you." She shook her head.

I studied her body language and its screaming honesty. I tried to hear her heartbeat and it's normal.

"Sweetie, are you sure?" Eloise repeated for confirmation.

"Yes Mom, positive. All I can guarantee is my mind gave out its own flashback about you and this house." She scanned the place.

"But... how can you not? I mean you remember Eloise the moment you walked in." Ava insisted with a tone of disbelief.

"I don't know okay! Now will you please excuse us I want to talk to my mother alone." She turned her back on us.

We gave them their moments but I couldn't help but listen to their conversation partly.

"Ette, don't be rude to the people who worked hard in finding you." Eloise reprimands her.

"It's Mina now Mom." She interjected.

"No to me you're Minette who gave you that ridiculous name?" Eloise wondered and so as the rest of us.

"Mom, if I told you now the night won't be enough. Give me a minute I will just find a hotel for us and book it." She was about to pick up her phone.

"Sorry I didn't mean to overhear the hotel you don't have to do it. The room is already set up besides it's already past midnight." I cut in.

"What a nice timing you got Elder huh?!" She snorted.

"MINETTE, attitude! Karlsten is right and I'm also exhausted." Eloise supported my decision.

"I'm not comfortable here Mom plus I certainly do not trust him." She pointed at me.

"I do and I'm telling you they don't mean harm okay so stop being rude." Eloise gave us a warming smile.

"Just because you made me wait... what are you doing here? I mean you're supposed to be at work in Munich." Ette is still holding Eloise.

"I resigned a year ago but that's to be discuss later." Eloise is still hugging her long lost daughter.

"Me too Mom a lot of things happened and I don't know where to begin." Ette's voiced sounded happier.

"I'm so happy you're here now sweetie. You don't know how much your father and I longed for this day." Eloise brought up Andreas on the topic.

"Mom, can we not talk about it now please?" Her mood changed from excitement to dullness.

"We will talk about it sooner or later. Why don't you go with Ava and get change?" Eloise advised her.

"Aren't you going to rest yet you're tired I can see it." Ette knitted her eyebrows.

"I just have to talk to Karlsten for a minute and no ears dropping I mean it." Eloise diverted her gaze.

"Fine." Ette kissed Eloise's forehead.

When Ette was finally out of our sight Eloise went to my side. The twins are also having a very confused mind.

"Why doesn't she recognize you and the rest? What happened to her Karlsten?" She instantly asked in hush tone.

"Eloise that's one of the few things I wanted to tell you..." I started narrating.

She had different reactions after hearing Andreas choice to stay as a prisoner. The memories that once deleted by Margo made her gasped. I can see she's trying to cope up with every detail.

"Is Andreas alright when you left him?" Her worried face showed.

"He is and I will go back there as soon as Ette's memory was restored but the thing is Ava saw a vision about her plan." I fill her all the facts.

"What do you mean?" Eloise heart rate starts to palpitate.

"Eloise, what I'm about to tell you is really not good so I want you to keep an open mind about this especially it concerns Ette." I warned her in calm way.

"Tell me everything I need to know and don't leave me on the blind side." She called the shots.

Once again I told her about Ava's vision and the plane incident lastly, the sudden decision why we sent her here at their old place.

"I will try to help Ette in bringing her memory back. She already remembered me so it will be easier to convince her." Eloise grabbed my hand.

"Still I don't understand why she can remember you clearly while we are strangers in her eyes?" I analysed.

"Elder, as far as compulsion is concerned it can work when something triggered her brain it's like a selective amnesia in human terminology." Allan concluded.

"Which means?" Andrews scratched the back of his neck.

"She can only recall a certain part of her memory such as exciting events than tragic incidents." Allan elaborated it.

"He is clinically right and in human world we do therapy I will see if I can do that to Ette." Eloise added.

"My decision was right taking you here she has great memories with you so it will help a lot." I gave out an idea.

"I just hope her memories can be restored soon before Andreas gets weak considering he was left with Margo. God knows what she can do to my husband." Eloise suddenly tensed up.

"Don't worry as soon as this is all over I will go back to Finland and get Andreas back here by that time I will have Margo's head for the Council." I assured her.

"I know you will Karlsten. Thank you for getting my daughter's back I better go check on her now. Try to get some rest if ever you decided to." She stood up.

When Eloise left I told Ava and the twins to go back to Munich and stay at the club as head security together with Dominik while Ava and Ella will work on the illusion for the Council. I also decided to give a note to my parents and told them I'll be staying here with Eloise.

Now that Ette is back my strength will once again revive after being idle for three years. But my powers will not fully emerge if Ette won't accept me as her Chosen.
