Change to Reversion

((Saerans POV))

I held her wrists tightly in my hands, pleading her to tell me what they told her, but she didn't say anything, all she had was that fear in her eyes that I haven't seen since before she decided to work with me, here. It seemed like this whole situation jumped directly to this, I don't even remember grabbing her wrists like this. I slowly let go, wanting her to trust me again, or at least trust me as much as she trusted me before, which was definitely more then this.

"Please.. Mc. Er...Myu-... no, definitely Mc." I said with many corrections, but finally deciding that her original name, her untainted name, will be best to use if I wanted her to get better. "Mc please, Please tell me what they told you, so I can tell you the truth-..?" I pleaded, just wanting my Mc back.

"Ray, may I please speak with you" I heard coming from behind me at the doorway, recognizing the voice immediately. I nodded silently and stood up, hesitantly leaving Mcs side and turning around and walked to the door, knowing he was probably waiting in the hallway so I could talk with him.

"Ray, I just wanted to say-" V started just as I stepped in front of him, actually, I'm quite disappointed that he can't see the expression on my face that I'm giving him right now.

"Save it. I don't want to hear it." I mumbled, knowing I probably sounded like a child, but that's one of the ways I get V to let me have my way, If I remind him of me as a child, remind him of when he actually cared for me.

"Ray just listen to me." he said sort of sternly, just like the voice he used when I was a kid and he was scolding me for fucking something up. "If you want to help her you can, Rikas call on this wasn't thought through to the consequences. I would actually suggest helping her regain her memory, just, be careful." And just like that, I heard the caring tone in his voice that I heard the first day I met him, and I trusted that. I needed in agreement to his proposal, helping Mc get her memory back.

"Thank you" I managed to say, my voice cracking and frail. I guess I am still that kid, on the inside. V must've noticed that, he held his arms open for me, and I instinctively lean in against his embrace feeling like I'm ten again.

"Ray, I think it will be best if you are the one to tell her the truth. Trust me, tell her the truth and nothing but the truth. I don't care if she will think more poorly of you when you tell her you're the one who took her to this place against her will, because if you lie, and she regains her memory naturally, you and her will just be right back at square one, or worse." V explains quietly as he let me go, still holding on my shoulders and facing me. I nod and dab my sleeve at the corner of my eyes to keep from smudging my eyeliner, knowing I was probably crying a bit. I quickly turn and walk away, not wanting V to know I was crying. I take a deep breath as I walk back up to Mc, standing at the foot of her bed, hearing the springs of the mattress creak as she scooted away again.

"I'm sorry.. I just got angry." I sighed, running my fingers through my hair as I continued to keep my gaze down and away from hers. "I'll wait-.. I'll wait for whenever you're ready. Umm. I don't want to force you? Like bef-.. well.. just let me know."

This time will be different.
