"Who are you?" Said Cherry as she tilted her head slightly and raised an eyebrow.

"Come on... I was only here like five hours ago" Replied the person as he stepped out if the shadows, with crossed arms.

"Oh right it's you Mr Devil" Said Cherry as she pulled her head up.

"Did you forget my name?" Replied the Devil as he came closer to the end of the bed.

"If I recall correctly, it was David" Said Cherry with a smirk as she raised one of her eyebrows.

"At least you can retain your memories Cherry" Replied the Devil with an evil smirk.

"I have a question... if you don't mind me asking" Said Cherry as she looked straight into the Devil's now flaming eyes.

"Go ahead" Replied the Devil as he leaned in closer towards Cherry.

"Why are you helping me so much?" Said Cherry with a pair of large round blood coloured eyes.

The Devil placed one hand on her shoulder and pulled her head closer to his mouth. Cherry's ear two inches away from his mouth.

"You're my granddaughter, why wouldn't I help you" Said the Devil as a wide smile grew across his face.

Cherry's eyes became wide with shock, her body almost frozen in place. Was he lying to her?... or was he really telling her the truth? She didn't want to believe it, it was to ridiculous to even be real.

"I... I... what?" Stuttered Cherry as she pulled away for the Devil.

Cherry finally began to grow suspicious of the Devil and decided to go along with what he was saying.
She re-collected her thoughts and looked back at the Devil. Before she could say a word he was gone in a cloud of smoke. Cherry glanced up at the clock to see it was 4am. She placed her head back down and fell asleep.

It was about 9:00am when Gabriel, Martin and Elizabeth came to take Cherry back home.

"Hey Cherry, how are you doing?" Said Gabriel as he walked into room.

"I'm doing alright" Replied Cherry as she gave him a small cute smile.

"Come on, it's time to get you home" Said Gabriel as he held out a hand to Cherry.

Cherry grabbed Gabriel's hand and he stood her up. The four of then walked out of the room and out of the hospital.

It was about half an hour before they got back home. Cherry slowly got put of the car and stood staring at the house for a while. She stood silent, lost in a world she once knew. Gabriel placed a hand on Cherry's shoulder.

"It's gonna be alright sis... don't worry I'm here for you" Gabriel whispered into Cherry's ear to try and comfort her.

Cherry glanced to her side to look Gabriel straight in the eye.

"Thank you Gabriel... I appreciate it" Replied Cherry as she gave him a small smile.

Gabriel gave her a smile in return and walked her inside the house. He began to show her around the house. Even though this place was her home... Cherry couldn't remember a thing about it. Gabriel took Cherry upstairs and into her room.

"And this is your room Cherry" Said Gabriel as he placed a hand on Cherry's shoulder.

Cherry glanced around the room, still feeling lost in the world. She walked over to her desk and sat down, Cherry glanced around at the photos and drawings on her desk. Cherry grabbed a photo and stared at it for a while.

"Say Gabriel... who are these guys?" Said Cherry as she turned to look at Gabriel who had sat down on her bed.

Gabriel stood up and walked over to Cherry's desk. He stood behind her, placed a hand on her shoulder and looked at the photo in Cherry's hand.

"That's our group of friends, you've got Adrien, Freddy, Kira, Daneilla, me and you" Said Gabriel as he pointed to each one of them.

Cherry stared at the photo longer then suddenly had an image flash in her mind.

"Gabriel... was this at the big soft ball game... when it was the finals and our team won... which all you three boys were on... and the two girls were cheerleading" Said Cherry as she looked up at Gabriel

"Yeah... you remember that?" Replied Gabriel with a half shocked expression.

Cherry nodded and Gabriel gave her a hug.

"Do you remember that you done the cheerleading outfits and the uniform for the sorts team?" Said Gabriel as he pulled Cherry out of the hug.

"Really?... I did that?" Replied Cherry with a shocked expression.

"Yeah... that's why the corner of your room has all that stuff over there" Said Gabriel as he turned Cherry around to look at the corner of the room.

"Okay... so what's with the other drawing board covered with ink?" Said Cherry as she looked slightly confused at Gabriel.

"In your spare time you used to do all fashion, frame by frame animations" Replied Gabriel as he pulled a folder out from under the drawing board.

Gabriel walked back over to Cherry's desk and placed the folder down then opened it. They both looked through it at the cartoon Cherry had been working on. Cherry came across a photo and looked really confused.

"How's that?" Said Cherry as she pointed to the man on the photo.

"That's our grandfather... David" Replied Gabriel as he placed the photo back down on the desk.

Cherry jolted back in shock and fear. Could the Devil have been telling her the truth... was he really her grandfather?

"Cherry... are you okay?" Said Gabriel as he gently placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Yeah... yeah... I'm fine" Stuttered Cherry, she was still in shock about the though in her mind.

"Okay... don't worry Cherry... memories never die... we'll get your memories back... and I'll help you as much as I can" Said Gabriel as he wrapped Cherry in a hug.

She hugged him back and almosted started crying. Cherry couldn't believe that her brother cared about her so much, she was grateful to have a brother like him.
