"How could you ask me to do that.  He is all I have left."  she stepped away from him. "What happened to you to make you think like you do?"

"Why can't you just trust me for once in your Chosen life?"  He said through clenched teeth.

"I did not Chose this life!"  She wanted to yell so bad.

"Yes you did you went into the house you chose to risk the ledgen.  You chose it."  he said walking closer to her.

"No I did not I was trying to fit into school.  People dared me to.  I was showing them I was brave and did not believe in the supernatual."  She threw up her hands stepping back.

"Well stupid you.  Now your a Chosen and there is no going back."  He walked away from her to the chair then turned to face her.  "Are you going to pack up?"

"No I told you I am not leaving.  I will not become like you!"  She spat the words at him taking a step toward him.

"If you don't leave you will become like me."  He said keeping eye contact but there was no feeling in them.

"What do you mean?"  She said surprised stepping back.

"Just trust me when I tell you that you should leave.  That is the only way you are going to keep your father, friends and others safe."  He said.

"How can I trust you?  Your a stranger and all I have seen you do is kill and push my father.  That is not that trusting."

"Fine you want to know what happened to me.  I lost people to the Regarts and I am trying to help you not lose as many as I did.  Leave school and your home."  He said standing up and stepping toward her.

"You are asking me to give up my life.  How can you ask me of that?"

"It is ether give it up or have it torn from you."  He stepped closer to her again.

"How could you know. "  she said without thinking.

"Because I did not liston to my instructor and I lost my whole family My mother, my half brother, cousons and my girlfriend.  All suffered at the hands of the Regarts.  So if you love your loved ones you will leave and never look back.  Like I wish I did."  He said finely stepping back.

She stood there shocked he said his mother walked out on him?  "But..."  she looked down the hall way to see her father standing there.  "Dad."

"What is going on?  Why are you telling my daughter to leave?"

Blake looked over to Jenny.  "You know what you have to do?  You have to to let him led a normal life without wondering what ever happened to you."

Jenny looked at Blake then to her father as a tear ran down her cheek.

"The attack on him the other night he got lucky the Regarts did not want to infect him yet."  Blake said.

"What attack?  What are you talking about?"  Her father said.

Jenny looked back to him.  Then to Blake.  "Let me at least explain everything first."

"No.  the more information he has the easyer the memories could return."

"Then you do it."  Jenny  looked at her father.

"No.  You have to.  If I do it then you will always blame me.  you have to say goodbye yourself."

"I don't want to say goodbye."  Jenny shook her head thinking about everything, then she realized that she was being selfish.  "What about all the pictures and my stuff?"

"I'll take care of those while you do what has to be done."  He walked passed her to the hall way.

"Jenny who is he and what is he talking about."  Her dad walked up to her placeing a hand on her cheek wiping away a tear.  "Whats wrong?"

"You know I love you right?"  She said closing her eyes.  "You know that."

"Yes of course I do.  What ever your going through I could help you.  Because you know I love you too."  He said.

"I want you to know that.  And you can not help me, but I can help you."  she sopped then opened her eyes he was at her eye level.  "I love you daddy.  Always will."

"Same here.  Sweetie.  Always." 

Jenny's lower lip quivered.  She stared into his eyes.  "No you will not.  You don't know of me.  Y-You don't have a d-da-daughter.  Your wife died before you two had a chance to have one.  You moved here because you and only you had to get away from the place you lost our only family."  Jenny swallowed.  "You will never remember of a daughter for you have ever had one.  your going to go to bed now and not wake up until the morning.  Be Happy.  And try to find love again."  She said as she watched his face go blank then he blinked and shook his head his hands falling from her face.  Jenny took a deep breath in as he walked away up the stairs.  She new it was the right thing to do, so why was her heart acing.  She went to find Blake.  he was in the hall way taking the boxes labled pictures. 

"Is it done?"  he looked up.  "Oh wow you did it."

"lets just pack up and leave no talking pleace?"  She said grabing a box she knew had pictures in it.  two tear drops were on the top. 

Once they were done and got all her stuff and everything that could make him remember her out into the living room they started to run boxes to the old house on the hill, the place Jenny now has to call home.  they got everything to the house Jenny sat on her they placed in one of the upstairs rooms and culled up into a ball and started to cry.  She was all alone now no more mom or dad.  She did not what to move.

"Jenny?"  She heard Blake whisper at the door of the room.  She didn't exnologe him.  "You did the right thing.  Trust me."

"Blake leave her be."  Shelda said.

"She needs to understand that she did the right thing."  He said still no feeling in his voice.

"She does understand that.  Its why she is upset leave her be."  Shelda said to him.  "Go a head and sleep Jenny come out when ever you want.  I have Blake do the cleaning."

She heard the door shut she grabbed her blanket and cried herself to sleep.
