Memories Series

Remember

"Who the hell are you?" She spoke in a dead serious tone.

Nick's heart sank as his fears had been realized. He knew it was inevitable, yet he had held tight to the hope that she wouldn't forget him. But there she stood, her machete pointed at him and no recognition in her eyes.

"Where the am I?" She demanded, with her usual hardened stare.

"Trubel, it's me, it's Nick." He tried to sound calming, as he stood with his hands where she could see them.

"How do you know my name?" She snapped.

"It's Nick, ok, you live here." He replied.

"Yeah, sure." She scoffed.

"Look." He spoke, slowly reaching over and picking up a framed picture of him and her.

She hesitantly took it, Trubel stared at it for several moment before she slowly lowered her machete. Nick could've sworn he saw a small flicker of recognition in her eyes. Trubel looked up at him.

"Why can't I remember this?" She inquired, confusion lining her words.

"You've been suffering from a type of Amnesia, sort of." He explained.

"So we live together..." She started. "Wait, are we married?" Her eyes widened.

Nick checks flushed and he visibly turned red.

"No, w...we're not uh...married." Nick fumbled for words.

"Dating?" She asked.

"No." Nick awkwardly cleared his throat.

"Then why do we live together?" She questioned.

"You where wanted for murder and you didn't have a place to stay." He replied.

Trubel sighed.

"Yeah, that sounds like me." She sat on the couch.

Nick slowly to sat down next to her.

"It's weird, my mind is telling me I shouldn't, but for some reason I trust you." She thought out load.

"Well, we have been through some pretty hairy stuff together." He smiled.

"Really?" She turned to him.

"Yeah, we're basically best friends." He replied, chuckling.

She laughed slightly.

"You seem nice, I'm sorry I forgot you." She answered.

"It's ok, It's not your fault." He spoke gently.

"How do I get my memories back?" She asked, an almost sad look in her eyes.

As if on cue, Nick's phone rang, he quickly answered it.

"It's done, we're on our way." Monroe quickly stated.

"Got it, hurry." Nick replied.

They both hung up.

"That was Monroe and Rosalee, friends of ours. They have some stuff that'll hopefully help you get your memory back." He explained, looking at Trubel.

"Good, because I feel like I'm missing something, something important." She mused.

"So I, uh, take it you know about my...problems." She spoke after a moment.

"You mean where to see monsters, then they attack you." He answered, a slight smile forming.

"Yeah, those." She chuckled.

"Do you think I'm crazy?" She added, pain in her eyes.

"No, I see it too." He replied, with an understanding look.

"What? How?" She questioned, leaning forward.

"It's a really long story and really hard to explain. Our friends will be here any minute, then hopefully you'll be able it remember for yourself. But for now just know that you're not crazy, you're not alone and never will be." He said genuinely.

That seemed to satisfy her, because she relaxed once more and an almost peaceful smile settled on her lips.

Several minutes later, Monroe was practically pounding on the door. Nick spring to his feet and opened it. Monroe and Rosalee both quickly walked in.

"This is Rosalee and Monroe." Nick introduced.

"Hi." Trubel stood.

A slight look sadness showed on their faces.

"So you're gonna help me remember?" She raised her eyebrow.

Rosalee stepped forward.

"Yes." She smiled warmly.

"So essentially what we're going to do is put a few drops of this in each of your eyes." Rosalee explained softly, holding up an eye dropper.

"Eye drops will help me with Amnesia?" She said skeptically.

"Yeah, I know it's a little weird, and by 'little weird' I mean really weird, but that kinda our specialty." Monroe answered.

"What the hell, I've seen weirder." Trubel shrugged, with a sigh.

Trubel sat down and let Rosalee put the eyedrops in, she blinked several times when she was finished.

"Do you feel any different?" Monroe asked.

Trubel was about say 'no' when she clutched her head and squeezed her eyes shut, nearly falling over in the process. Nick rushed to her side and helped steady her. She slowly relaxed and opened her eyes.

"I still don't know who any of you are, but something definitely happened there." She remarked, looking up at them,

You know, it probably won't work." A familiar, yet unwelcome voice taunted.
