Flames. \\Calum Hood AU ~ Third book//

Chapter Twenty Two

Alyx

It had been two months. Two months of painful memories, two months of regretting what I did.

Two months since I saw my family... my friends.

Luna... Ruben... I wondered daily how my children were doing. It was a mothers natural instinct. But they wouldn't know. They wouldn't know they had a mother, they wouldn't know until I saw Calum next and kissed him.

That in itself was going to be difficult. To him? I'm just a random girl he'll meet in the future. I doubt he will appreciate me going up to him and kissing him.

I sighed, sat alongside Eric. Of all people, of all things to be sat next to... I was sat next to him.

"I'm so glad your mine." He slid his hand into mine. "You didn't need them anyway."

"Please take your hand off me." I spoke lowly. He nodded and removed his hand.

It had been like that since training the other day. He had seen me train against his best fighter. I had beaten him in seconds flat.

Being in this realm increased my powers. By a lot.

"Alyx you can't give me the cold shoulder for ever. You willingly came here." He spoke.

"Use that tone again with me and I swear I won't hesitate to kill you." The other me spoke.

Whilst being here, we had spoken frequently, and we had decided one thing.

Eric was not taking my world.

We had put aside the fact she was pure evil and I wasn't, and realised we both wanted the same things.

Now, to the servants that worked here I seemed crazy. More so when I was sat in my room talking to myself.

"If I was to do a memory wipe, could you still keep my memories on how to keep my powers, and my childhood?" I asked quietly.

Eric looked at me I surprise.

"What? So you can't remember your friends and family?" He asked.

"I want to remember Jayden from when I was a child, I want to remember Alyx too." I tapped my head. He nodded.

"Anything for my queen." He whispered.

Are you ready to do this?

Alyx asked. I took a deep breath and confirmed to myself.

"Dark Magic, memory wipe." I whispered directing the magic at myself. Eric looked at me patiently. I took a deep breath again closing my eyes and standing up. I leant down towards Eric and pressed our lips together.

His hands steadied me until... everything went blank.

"W-Who are you?" I asked as I opened my eyes.

"Eric." The man spoke. "We're taking over the world one day, don't worry."

"The world?" I questioned. His hands held my head and he closed his eyes.

I remembered my powers and who I was. But something was missing.

You still remember me? Don't you?

The voice in my head spoke. I thought until my own name popped into my head.

I'll update you on the plan we created, it's going to be long and tough. But we'll get through it and you'll be back in his arms soon enough.
