The Start Of A New Earth

Forgive and forget

Teal

When I woke up Anya was gone.

Sitting up tiredly I spit a note along with a plate of food on the nightstand making my stomach rumble loudly as I eagerly took a large gulp of water.

Picking up the note I couldn't help but frown at the only two words Anya wrote.

I'm sorry.

For some reason I couldn't help but wonder if that was what Anya was trying to say to me before everything went downhill.

But should I forgive her? I mean she's done so many horrible things to me and yet.... I can't help but feel loved by her apology. It's the first time Anya has ever said anything kind to me.

Smiling to my self I begin to feel my cheeks grow red as I hugged the note to my chest making me jump as I heard the door slightly open revealing a nervous looking Anya.

Cute...

"I- I um..."

"I forgive you." I watched with a small smile as Anya's eyes lit up before reluctantly entering the room.

"I really am sorry. I wasn't myself, and you being there when I unexpectedly went into heat didn't help my actions. So after you eat I plan on making it up to you..."

Why? Why is she being nice to me all of a sudden? The person I thought I knew was gone and was replaced by this unknown cute nervous girl as she sat by my side calmly.

After I got done eating I felt fully content until Anya picked me up bridal style as I was still naked making me grimace.

"I won't hurt you. Not anymore, I'm sorry."

"I-It's ok. I was just startled." I could tell that she still felt ashamed as she very gently put me in the large warm bath making my muscles immediately relax as she started scrubbing my body along with my hair.

"You need a new cast. So after you get dressed we will have to stop by and see Rio. Then I'm taking you to see your mother."

"My mom?!" I sat in an all to excited voice making Anya smile a bit.

"I don't want you to hate me. And I feel like I need to make things up to you for what I have done."

"Why? You used to hate me before and now your treating me as if I might break."

"I remembered something."

"Remembered something?"

"Yes. I remembered when we first met, I was overjoyed in seeing a kind innocent human girl for the first time... but then I realized I couldn't remember our encounter do to the tragic accident that happened after we met."

"So you remember killing my father?" I say in a voice filled with so much emotion as I stared at my bruised face in the reflection of the water.

"Yes. But you don't know the full story, so before we go see your mother I will be taking you to the Memory room which is when you will see what caused me to explode and kill your father."

I didn't refuse from seeing Anya's Memories but I was a bit curious on how I will be able to see them in the first place, and I was also afraid of making Anya go back to her angry self which is another reason I did not refuse.

After my well earned bath Anya and I left the room together for the first time making me feel a bit nervous as we headed towards the nurses office. Afterwords we finally made it to the Memory room making me feel even more nervous then I already was Mostly because I was about to see Anyas memories...

"Here we are."

I look around the strange room that kinda reminded me of a doctors office.

"Ok so you stand in front of this Holographic screen and when I say push the button you push it. Understand?"

I nod my head as she showed me which button to push making my palms a bit sweaty as she started to hook strange wires on each side of her head making me bite my bottom lip as she singled me to push the button.

Almost immediately I saw Earth along with several lasers flying into the air making me frown a bit since I figured out that this was the day that they came to Earth.

Lexa- "Anya where are you going? Father and mother told us to stay on the ship until the war is over."

"Do you honestly think I can just stay put after entering a vast new world? So what if where currently in a war, there's nothing on this planet that can kill me."

Lexa- "But father said.."

"Look I'll be in and out in no time I just want to take a look around Alright?"

Lexa reluctantly nodded her head making Anya grin as she was automatically transferred to the ground. There I recognized my own street where I used to live making me frown deeply as I watch Anya pick me up with interest in her eyes until she had to put me down making me rush back towards my mom who automatically ushered me into the house. I could tell that Anya was a bit disappointed with me being gone but she soon got over it as she continued to explore my home which is when I looked away from the Holographic screen already knowing what's going to happen.

"Teal. Look at the screen. You have to see what happens next."

I tense at Anyas stern commanding voice making me reluctantly look back at the screen only to see Anya facing my father who looked extremely angry at the moment while Anya held a calm look in her golden colored eyes making me frown deeply.

Unknown- "Anya I told you to stay in the ship it's dangerous!"

I watch as Anya rolled her eyes until a loud bang echoed through the room making me tense as I watch my dad shoot at both the Alien man and women who was trying to get Anya back to safety making me frown deeply as I watch Anyas eyes slowly turn a blood red color before the entire screen went white.

"Your father killed my parents that day do to my stubbornness on wanting to explore Earth and Earths people. Your father was the reason for my anger getting out of control that day, but from your point of view it makes me seem as if I'm the monster who murdered your father without reason."

I was speechless. What my father did was I unspeakable, I had no idea that he was even capable of killing anyone. Tears threatened to spill as I hung my head low in shame while I spoke in a small quite voice.

"I'm sorry. I never knew my father was capable of killing anybody until now." I tense as Anya wrapped her arms around me gently before kissing my cheek softly as she tried comforting me.

"After looking into your memories I could finally see how you saw me as the bad guy. Which is why I changed my attitude towards you."

"You looked into my memories?"

"Yes. But that's only because I wanted to know when and where I met you. You looked so familiar to me that I couldn't remember where I saw you. I hope you can forgive me for what I have done to you and your family..."

"I have already forgiven you Anya. If anything it's me who should be asking you for forgiveness do to my fathers stupidity."

"I can never forgive your father for what he did. He is the main reason why I have come to hate humans so much. But I vow to love and protect you for the rest of my life. I hope you can understand that."

I nodded my head in understanding making Anya smile sweetly as she gently grabbed my hand.

"Now lets go meet your mother. I know she's probably been lonely without you being there."

Excitement surged through me. As we made our way out of the memory room making me smile as I leaned into Anyas warm side.

I hope my mom will be happy to see me.
