Chapter 18: Awakened

Chapter 18

ELIJAH'S P.O.V.

Cyan: AWAKENED.

"He passed out." Michellie informed me as I finished cutting off the last sac surrounding his left wing. They stretched out and curled around him, just as black and soft as I remembered.

"The pain should've stopped by now. Try to wake him." I told her as I handed off the towels and scalpels to Mary who scurried off.

"Cyan? Cyan are you okay?" Michellie gently shook his shoulders.

His eyes snapped open, startling us both as the deep blood red color. He sat up, looking around in confusion for a second before looking at Michellie. "Michi?" He asked hesitantly, touching her cheek.

"Yeah?" She asked, confused by the uncertainty in his voice.

"I'm so sorry." He sobbed, launching himself at her.

"What? What do you mean?" She questioned, hugging him back.

"I can't believe I forgot you." He cried, pulling away to stare into her eyes. "I remember Michellie."

"Remember what?" She inquired.

"Everything." He grabbed her face in his hands. "I remember how we met in a dress shop and you helped me pick out matching outfits. I remember the time you kissed me in the hallway at school to get Elijah's attention. I remember our first sleepover and fight and the time you cut my wings out for me. I remember you Michi. I'm so sorry I forgot. I'm so sorry."

"Y-you do?" Her eyes welled up with tears and then slid down her cheeks in thick red lines. "Y-you remember?"

"I remember." He repeated, pulling her against him again as he began to cry big red tears as well. He looked up at me and then jumped back, pushing Michellie away and going to press himself up against the wall. "You!"

"Cyan?" It came out as more of a question, confused as to why he was looking at me like that.

"You...you helped them kill me!" He screamed. "I remember now! I remember! Anastasia had stabbed me and- and I looked at you and she said-she said-you... you were in on it!"

"Wait Cyan! I can explain!" I tried to step closer to him, but he hissed at me, the power in his warning nearly making me fall to my knees.

"You killed me! I loved you and you killed me!" He raged. "Did you get some sick kick out of pretending with me when I didn't remember what you did? You bastard!"

"Cyan calm down!" Michellie tried, managing to get closer to him than I did. "Listen to me, please..."

"He helped them murder me Michi!" He yelled.

"I was there Cyan! I was there when it happened remember?" She reasoned, grabbing his hands in hers. "I saw what happened after you- you know. I was there. He didn't do it Cyan! I promise you! She lied! She lied to hurt you! Elijah didn't know at all!"

He looked perplexed for a moment, still tensed and ready to attack if I stepped any closer, but eventually gave in. He was still crying now and I didn't blame him. This wasn't supposed to happen. He wasn't supposed to remember. "Why didn't you guys talk to me?" He questioned, looking between the both of us. "Y-you guys let me believe I was living in the shadow of myself! I-I look so stupid!"

"No Cyan! We c-"

I gave Michellie a look and she shut her mouth. Cyan noticed, his eyes flaring in anger once again. "Stop it! Stop keeping things from me!"

"We don't have time to explain right now Cyan." I said slowly, knowing his temper as a newly awakened marked one was very short. He narrowed his eyes at me. "Please, we have all the time in the world to explain, but there are rules. You have to make your coronation in a half an hour and you aren't dressed. Just get through the coronation and then we can talk."
