The Devils Angel

Chapter Seven

"There's only one thing I know I'm good at. And that's turning something good into poison.."

Ella

"No Dad.. please! This is Ella your Daughter! Dont do this to me please.."

This is all just a dream, this is all just a dream. Wake up Ella! Wake up!! Images played like some slideshow in my mind. Memories flooding my head.

"I was trying to protect you! He was going to rape you.. please dont look at me like that..."

My heart ached and my head hurts so much.

Then it stopped. The images stopped and I found myself standing inside a house. This house looked so familiar. Then I heard screams. I ran towards the basement and then I saw him.. he was eating raw meat. But it wasnt your ordinary meat. Cause when my eyes drifted down.. I saw two bodies. A woman who has the same eyes as I have. And a man who mouthed the words Im so sorry.. to me.

"Ella.."

I whipped my head back and found myself in an apartment. There was someone cooking.. He had his back on me and he was humming to a song. He had a familiar blonde hair and I have a gut feeling that I knew who he is and that he holds a great part of me. He was important and I care about him. I can feel it. A child's cry suddenly stopped me from going to him.

"The foods almost done Emily!" He announced and went back to stirring whatever it was he was cooking. I went out of the kitchen and walked towards where the child's cries was. I opened the door and I saw a crib. Slowly I walked to it and I saw a baby girl. I was in awe.. I felt something so strong. Tears are running down my face as the child smiled at me and held her hand to me.

"Emily!"

I couldn't believe it. I felt so ashamed.. so heartbroken.. so mad! How can I forget Emily? My sister! The door suddenly burst open and came the most attractive teenage boy I've ever seen. He was smiling at Emily as he took her out of the crib.

Christopher. I sobbed. How could I forget him? How could I forget them? The people I loved and hold so dear in my life? I was about to say something when everything I forgot was one playing fast through my mind.

The killing..my parents.. the torture.. joy and Keith! Keith! How could he lie to her? How could they all lie to her? She was overwhelmed with anger and agony. She was glad she was remembering everything! But a part of her hated it. Beacuse along them came the pain. The pain of loosing everything. And the pain of being lied and played to. And the pain of what had become.

The dream ended. And I found myself waking up. My face drenched in tears and my body rage in anger. This was all too much, this was all too much. But she would play them. She would play them.. and make them pay. She will take her sister from Joy and Topher. She will leave Keith and the people who adopted and her and told her lies. She was grateful for them, for making up a lie and showed her a better life. But she knew they could also tell her the truth. She lived inside a protective barrier and she hated it. And now she kills murders for a living. How ironic.. I scoffed at the thought. Stupid.. Stupid people.

I sat up and wiped the tears from my face. Then I took the water beside the hospital bed and gulped it down. Calming myself and made plan inside my head. I need to see Emily personally and Topher had her sister. She must have a way to meet her.. or get close to them.

Three hours later...

"How are you feeling Ella?" The doctor asked me. I gave her a small smile.

"I'm feeling better, just a few more hours of sleep and I'll be fine.." I answered her. She smiled.

"I'm the doctor here and yet you give good prescriptions here when that's my job.." she shook her head at me. I gave her a sheepish smile. Topher came into the room. My whole body stiffened, I know he's Keith now and my heart clenched. Yes, he did save me from before and when I opened my eyes from the coma I was in. He was there to help me get into my feet but he still lied to me and I hate it when people lie to me.

Smiling at him, he came to me and kissed my forehead then intertwined our fingers. I hated it but I have to keep up being the innocent little Ella who doesn't remember anything. This will be hard but I'm a detective for goodness sake and I've killed and manipulated so many criminals. But this is more than anything I had been to and done. Because this mission is all about me.

Don't hurt them too much.. they helped you become ..

Now that the memories are back.. the old Ella is back too and its making me crazy...

"Ella? Baby doll? Are you okey?" Snapping out of my reverie.. I looked up at Keith and gave him a reassuring smile. He smiled back and let out a chuckle.

"She can go home now, I'll have prepare the papers then your good to go..." the doctor says as she gave me one last nod and went out of the room, leaving me and Keith alone. He sat at the chair beside the hospital bed.

"You looked stressed, what have you been up to?"

"The usual, going out with my mistress because my girl is sick.." he shrugged. I threw him a deadpan look and he chuckled.

"Work and worrying about you." He sighed.

"I'll be out today, so we can both get some good night sleep." I stated but he looked sad and scared.

"You're not telling me something.. Topher." He let out a breath before looking away.

"Chief wants me back at Texas tonight. But I cant just leave you alone in the apartment, but I can't bring you to Texas too." He groans and rubs his palms on his face.

"I'll be fine you know." I pointed out.

"You just got out of the hospital from having a severe headache and fainting.. I don't want to not be there when you feel pain Ella."

"Topher, look at me." I ordered and he obliged.
"You forget who you're talking to. I'm stronger than I look and I can take care of myself." I said rolling my eyes playfully at him. He smiled at me.

"I love you.."

I froze. I forgot he's my fiancee now. And that a small part of me loves him. I smiled. "I love you too.."

He wrapped his arms around me and I tried hard not to stiffen or feel awkward with his touch.
But I let out a breath abd suck it up. He can't know that my memories are back, I need them to think that I'm still the same old clueless girl that they all have been playing with.

As we got back at our apartment, I asked to stay in the spare room. "Why would you want to stay in the spare room? How will I take care of you if your away from me?" Keith.. I mean topher.. says as I moved my laptop and my sleeping clothes to the other room.

"I just want to study the case I'm working with and I don't want to bother you. I know you haven't had a goodnight sleep and I owe you that." I answered him. He looks tormented like he wanted to protest but I gave him a deadpan look and he just nodded.

"Okey.. okey! I know how you can't sleep when something's bothering you but please dont stay up too late. You just got off the hospital and I just can't have you going through pain again like what that shot--" he froze and stopped. His eyes widening.

"Shot? What do you--"

"It's nothing, shot I mean the tetanus shot you hated so much before. Goodnight baby doll." He kissed me in the forehead before leaving me to my businesses. He almost blabber the truth and I hated him for lying straight to my face when he can come clean.

One of these days.. I'm gonna get the truth out of your mouths. One of these days, I'm gonna have my sister back. And one of these days.. I'm gonna have my life back. Cause I deserve it. I need it back.. And I'll kill whoever gets in my way....
