I stopped walking and stared at Ryan. The air was still and quiet. I couldn't hear the music anymore. "What?" I asked. I didn't realize i was holding my breathe but when I spoke i felt my chest loosen. "What's your name?" he repeated. "Why ask that?" I countered his question with one in hope he would just drop it. "Cause calling you keeper would be weird. Keeper isn't really a name, it's a title. So I would like to know your name." I sighed knowing my attempt to make him forget didn't work. "So are you going to tell me?" he said. Looking up at him made me want to hide. I just killed my best friend and now someone I barley know wants to know the darkest secret about me. " I can't tell you." I said in a monotone voice. Ryan's face twisted into confusion. "Why not? Aren't you just like me?" I looked down. No I'm not like you I want to say it a loud but I can't. "You're not like me, are you?" he said taking a step closer. I stepped back but he followed. "What's your name keeper?" he had annoyance laced in his words. "I told you I can't tell you." He rolled his eyes "I know but why? Who are you?" I turned around and began to walk away. "Where are you going?" he yelled. I wanted to hide from everyone but I stopped walking. I could tell Ryan was still behind me so I motioned for him to follow me. Once i heard his footsteps I began walking again.

I went to the well where every friend remembers their last memories before becoming forgotten. "Keeper why are we going here?" Ryan asked. I took in a deep breath "You wanted to know my name so here we are." Again he looked confused "Isn't this for memories?" I nodded and he still was confused. "Just watch okay? And don't wake me up 'til the memories are over." I snapped my fingers and was now in a regular outfit. "How will I know the memories are over?" He asked. I shrugged "You'll know and hopefully by the end you'll know my name. Maybe I'll know my own name." I stepped into the water and shivered. As I laid down and felt my self getting tired. "All I ask of you Ryan, is to keep all of this a secret." He nodded and then my eyes closed.

Keeper's memories

"Hey where are you going?" she asked. The girl looked at her with sad eyes. "I have to go to summer camp." The small friend smiled "That's gonna be so much fun! We're gonna go swimming and do crafts make new friends. Why do you look so sad?" She shrugged. " I just don't want to go. People won't like me." she sat on her bed. " People will love you! Just like I do. You're awesome Lilly" the friend said sitting next to her. Lilly looked up at her and smiled. "Thanks Nyx but you can't come. Mom said so."

"Why can't everyone else see you?" she asked. Nyx shrugged "I have no Idea Lilly. But at least you can see us." She looked at William with a smile and he smiled back. Lilly nodded " Still everyone thinks I'm insane. I just want them to see and love you like I do." She sat at her computer desk. Nyx walked up behind her and placed a hand on her shoulder. " All we need is for you to see and love us Lilly. You're our bestfriend."

Lilly walked in the room upset. "Whats wrong?" William asked. "I have bad news you guys." Both of the friends looked at her with concern. "I'm sick." Nyx smile "I'm sure it's just a cold silly here lay down I'll get you medicine." Lilly shook her head. " It's not that simple Nyx." Lilly motioned for them both to sit next to her. "I have Cancer and it's too far along for any treatment to help. I only have a few months." She said. William gasped and Nyx just froze.

"It's so beautiful!" Lilly said. Nyx smiled "I'm glad you like. Thank you for building this place for us and all the others." William wasn't smiling he knew that this place would only make Lilly's death hurt so much more. "Well I hope it doesn't get too much use but it's not just a cemetery it's a home for you and William, so you don't just fade a way like others."

"You can't just destroy this place!! What about Lilyy!" Nyx yelled. "She died! She left us! And this place is just a terrible memory!!" He crumbled a tombstone. A black cloud surrounded him and Williams screams filled the air. Nyx watched in horror as the screams grew silent. When the smoke cleared William was lying on the ground but something was wrong with him. He was bigger and had black veins on his arms and neck. "William?" Nyx whispered. He opened his eyes and smiled. The could then surrounded Nyx.

Instead of beautiful Blonde hair her hair darkened to a midnight black, her skin went from tan to white, her eyes looked sunken in. "William!" she screamed as her blood was replaced with dark poison.  "You'll be okay. Just let it take you." 

Reality 

"Nyx! Nyx! Wake up! Please I don't want to watch anymore!" Ryan yelled. I sat up quickly shivering from the ice cold water. "My name is Nyx?" I asked
