Sherlock Minter vol 4

Sofia

Louise and I had both agreed on what we were going to talk about on my first meeting, because loads of people would question it if we didn't explain it. We had to explain what was happening to the boys who knew about our existence. Me and Louise had talked about it for hours and hours, trying to come up with a good thing to do, until I gave up. She was right, we had to erase their memory.

"So, welcome here everybody" I spoke up as everyone had arrived. "Me and Louise have agreed that while I'm in charge she is my right hand" I then explained to everyone. Then Pinchy put his hand up, wanting to say something. I nodded to him, showing that he had the word. 

"What will happen to the people that know of us?" he asked, like I said, questions would be asked if we didn't tell them.

"Me and Louise have talked about it, deciding that the best thing to do is to take their memory of our existence away from them, but nothing more. They won't know us anymore, not at all" I replied, people nodding in agreement.

The hard part of that decision wasn't the actual decision like I had thought, it was actually doing the thing. Even if I knew how to erase some memory, it hurt so much to actually do it. Looking into the eyes of the people you know, and taking their memory of you. Of you ever existing.

The last person I had to do it to was Landon. He was the hardest as well. We were sitting in Simon and JJ's living room, chatting a bit. 

"I can't believe that you are back, It's fantastic" he told me, as I sat there thinking of when the best time to delete his knowledge of me. "I have my girl back, to kiss and care for" he spoke, looking into my eyes. I looked into his too, they were so beautiful. He leaned in, getting close to me. He wanted a kiss. So I granted his wish, leaning in as well.

When we broke from it Landon had fainted, it was easier if he didn't see me after I took all those memories away. I carefully laid him down on the couch properly and put a blanket over him. 

"Goodbye Landon" I whispered as I pressed a small kiss against his cheek. "I will miss you"

When I came out of the house I was met by James and Charles, both of them giving me a weak smile. 

"It can hurt quite a lot" Charles told me, nodding to the house. "But it's for their own good as well as ours"

"I know" I replied, holding up the framed pictures in my hands. They had had five framed pictures of me in the house, counting with Landon's, and I held them all. If I hadn't taken them the pictures would've faded after a while, me disappearing from them. But these ones, they were mine. My memory of a forgotten time.

Charles and James followed me as we went to the park to meet up with the others. It was late, but we all were moving. London was too risky at the moment, so we left to go to another place, find a new home. It would probably be in England, but you never know. I just knew we wouldn't go that far, not yet at least.
