Trying To Remember

Tell me everything Ch. 9

Victoria POV:

"Well, I guess I should start with..." he thought. " you have no memory of who you are or what I am. Your memory's were taken from you."

"Well what exacly are you then? And why is my memory taken away?" I had so many questions.

Why did he call me princess? Why is he my protector? Why do I need protecting?

To many things were popping in my head.

"Calm down, I will tell you every thing. I am what they call a Red Blood, in many cultures  my kind have been called a vampire. We are relatively the same, we have cold pale skind, super strenght, very fast, has fangs and my eye color changes; as you have seen." I nodded

"Though we are not dead. We are born, we live, and we die, but we live for a long long time." He started to explain.

"How long is a long time?" I was curious.

"so you see me as 18... I am actually 180 years old."

My jaw dropped and I kind just started at him.

"Yep.." he huffed a laugh nervously.

"Well for a 180 year old, you look good." I laugh reassuring him. Though it still freaked me out.

"This might freak you out more.... you see yourself as 17, but your actually 170 years old..." he kinda looked away.

"what!?!?! How can that be, I think I would have memory of living that long..."

"Exacly, but remember your memory was stolen." He explained.

Wow... this is crazy...

"They call your people Lushraphins, meaning people of magical powers, they often had minor powers though. But you were a special case, they called you Taika, which means magic. Since you had the most powers and is stronger that anything anyone has seen. Not in millions of years, in fact it was just a legend before you." He said while lightly touching my face and smiling.

Of corse I couldn't help but blush. I feel like that's all I do around him. Wait! I need to keep my head strait.

"You were also special because you were also the princess. You father and mother was king and queen over all Lushraphins, Red Bloods, and most humans." He smiled.

"The Red Bloods are a worrier people. Most have been trained from birth to protect your people. In fact my father was the head of the royal guard, and my trainer was 2nd of the guard." He said all high and proud, while lifting his chest heroically. 

I giggle a bit. "Don't get cocky."

He laugh the cutest thing you have ever heard.

" I was one of the main people watching over the main family. But the reason I didn't know it was you when I was trying to find the princess is because parts of my memory was taken to." He looked kinda sad.

"why do I need protection? Was it because of that man that attacked us?" I wanted to know what I am up against.

"yes, that man is the reason. They call them Dark Brothers. They are the Red Bloods that turned to darkness. And the reason they want you is because since you are so powerful they want to harness that power and us it again your people who are left and take back the kingdom and rule over humans." He sighed

"Wow," was all I could manage... I didn't think I was that important. "And what do you mean by my people who are left?" It's weird saying My People.

"well there isn't much left of your people or my people.  I am one of the few Red Bloods alive." He looked sad.

Without thinking, I wanted to comfort him because i could see the pain in his eyes. So I move closer to him, and reached up to caress his face. But I didn't realize what I was doing tell, he grabbed my hand himself and put it against his face. He held it there for a little and closed his eyes tight, seemingly to hold back tears that never came. But as I watch him he lowered his hand down still holding mine. I was bright red the hole time.

"How bout we go sit on the couch?" He looked at me.

But being the nerd I was, I was still lost in him. But then I realized.
"Oh ya, sure, that's fine," I said little to fast and dorky. All he did was smile though and still holding my hand and walled to the couch.

We sat down pretty close to each other but looking at eachother.

"Ok.. so.. there was a great war that destroyed the kingdom, kill millions of people, your kind, my kind, but very little humans." He continued.

"who started the war?" I spoke.

" the Dark Brothers..." he said with a deep snarl.

"they gathered up hundreds of people to join them. And they went into homes, killing everyone they could see who fallowed the king.  Eventually so many of then were  killed also, it seemed like on one was going to win. The only way the could gain the kingdom is if they got ahold of your power. When you and your father was running away to hide the leader of the Dark Brothers appeared and killed your father... * he sad sadly and brought me into a hug.

" that's why my mom never talked about my biological dad... that's why... thats..." a tear fell down my face.

"After killing you father, two other Dark Brothers took you away and injected you with there blood. That's why you have the power to bring death or create death. They infected you with there powers of evil. That was there first step of using your powers, but they never got to finish. Because my father found you and killed the two men and took you to your mother. But the leader found that you had gotten away, he took it out on my father. I don't remember how he died, I do know I watched it but those memory's were taken. But the leader died and so did my father.." he look sad, but a bit more lost than anything.

I didn't realize we were still in a hug. But I squeeze him tight. " I am so sorry." I sad in a huff of air.

" it's ok, and it will be ok..." he lightly stroked my hair.

" it's has been a long time since then... the council and who ever is left alive has stayed hidden just like the Dark Brothers have. But we resently had a build up of Dark Brothers and we were afraid that they were going to find you. So as a little mission I went undercover in high schools with Mike to find you and to keep you from the Dark Brothers." He got all tuff and funny when he was talking about the mission almost like he was a secret agent.

"so Mike is my best freind.... so what is he? Since he is apart of this?" I wondered.

" he is what they call a Timekeeper.
In a way he can teleport through time. But only a certain times and he keeps invisible shelds around magic places so humans don't find out. Humans now are naive to the face we exist, only in legend do we exist so we want to keep it that way." He explained

" wow and I just thought he was a nerd. And now he is "Mr. Timekeeper". " I make quotation marks with my hands and laughed.

He laughed to. " there is only one in 500 years. And only in his family. He is very important,  can you belive that?" he laughed.

" wow that's crazy... such a loser is so important" I giggled.

Now I was just leaning against him.

"you so cute when you laugh, you know that?" He laughed.

All I did was blush and changed the subject. " hey do you want to watch a movie? I need my mind off of this heavy stuff... " I sighed

"ya sure you pick," he nodded.

I got up and put; Pride, Prejudice and Zombies.

I sat back down a little close to him, but then he scared me and pulled me into a hug while we are siting, my back was to his chest.

As the movie played we stayed in that postion and I feel asleep against him.
