Eliminated Memories

• My Mother •

I instantly choke on my cold water. "My mother?" It was just so hard to believe. When she said it I felt like I got slapped across the face with surprising news.

Her smile falters "You don't remember me do you?" She says. Her face seeming sad. She looked like she was in the brink of tears.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it like that. I don't mean to hurt you, please." I mean I feel bad but it's not like I can really do anything about it. I don't know what had happened to me.

"It's not your fault honey" she smiles but it doesn't stick on her face for a while as her face turns serious. "Maybe I could do something about that" she comes closer and I feel a bit uncomfortable at the moment.

I back away just a tiny bit and she looked taken aback from my gesture.

She rolls her eyes seeming annoyed   "I'm not gonna kill you"

"I know that, of course," I say trying to match the confident voice to my voice though I certainly don't think it worked.

"Ok well, what I was gonna do was recover you," she says going back to her cheery voice

"Oh" it was all I could manage

"Unless you don't want to remember me of course then I understand," she sounded really annoyed at my answer

"No, no. It's just a surprise that's all"

"What is?" Ugh, how do I not look like my own mother?

"Well, everything." And it was true. I just figured out that this huge place is my home while I've been living in the smallest place possible.

"Ok then. Uhm shall I start?" She had so much uncertainty in her voice

"Anytime you want" I sort of lied. I wanted to it right now but gotta be nice and use your manners and whatnot. I guess.

Then she touched my temples and started to say some gibberish nonsense. And then a million images flash through my mind. My coronation, my birthdays, my siblings, my favourite colour and why, my mother, my favourite maid, my everything. I even remember the crazy girl that tried to attack me and my group of friends earlier today or yesterday. I take the biggest gasp.

"Do you remember anything?" She asks excitedly

"Everything" is all I can say while more and more images flow through my mind at the same times.

"How much do you remember?" She had a bloody nose while I had a bruised fist. Despite everything I've done to her, she still has a smirk marked on her bloody face.

"Everything I need to remember," I say while my arms are crossed over my chest and I'm tapping my feet to distract myself so I, therefore, don't kill her right then and there.

"That's wonderful to hear sis" Why would she do this to me?

"Don't call me that" I spit out at her

"What, sis? Why not?" She asks with a fake cheery voice

"Because sisters don't do that to one another!" I yell which startled her.

"Well, sisters don't take everything away from each other!" She raises her voice louder than I did and I take it as a challenge

"OK LET ME JUST SAY THAT YOU CANT BE SAYING THAT WHEN YOU STOLE ME AWAY FROM MY LIFE!" Now I'm just screaming my lungs out
