Hey guys, whats up? How's the Holiday Spirit? Anyways, I'm just going to tell you before hand that when I mention the book Nobody by Jennifer Barnes, I did not create it and I do not take any credit for that book, all rights go to her. Now that thats over with enjoy the story! Love you guys.

Parill POV:

Recap: “My dear I know what I'm going to do with you.” Instead of the usual cackle, he laughed. He actually laughed. And he had such a crazed look in his eye's that it started to freak me out. “Oh I know exactly what I'm going to do with you.

He came closer until he was right in my face, then he leaned over, his breath smelled putrid. I wanted gag but I held it in, it would be better for my personal health to not gag.

“What are you you going to do with me exactly?” I asked, then I heard him say something and I started to feel drowsy, and then I went out like a light.

When I woke up I had no idea where I was or who I was. the only things I could remember were things I liked to do, and powers I had. I sat up and looked to the side, there was a strange man. “Who are you? Where am I? Who am I?” I asked him.

“My name is Marcus, and I am your husband, your name is Pearl and your in our house. Don't you remember anything?” He asked with kindness, “I'm sorry I forgot you, I'm sure your a really great guy, can I relearn to love you?”

I asked, I half expected him to toss me out of the room and lock me out, because I couldn't love him. “I'll wait as long as I have to Hun,” he said. “Um until I know you better, would you mind not calling me Hun or Love, or anything of the sort. I don't like pet names unless I know the person really well. I don't know how I know that, but I do.

Anyways I would love to get to know you though, how about we meet up in half-an-hour for lunch.

Um could I also have separate quarters sorry but yet again I don't really know you.” “Absolutely,” he replied. “I will have one of my servants take you there immediately. Jessy, take Pearl to her chambers at once, and make sure that everything is in tip top condition.

We walked through many hallways, they all looked eerily beautiful, the ceilings were high and Gothic, the walls looked like they were made out of black marble, “I can't believe I live here,” I whispered.

“My master has set up your quarters, if you need anything be sure to ask milady.” she said, and then she hurried off I didn't really know why, but I sort of wish I did. When I walked into my room I gasped with astonishment. Oh. My. Gosh. I either married a King, or a really rich guy.

Everything looked like it was painted with gold and silver. When I looked to my right there was an absolutely beautiful book shelf. I walked over to the other side of the room and skimmed through the book titles. Divergent, Harry Potter, Delirium, Halo, The Imperial Affliction, Simon Snow, Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Maximum Ride, and more. Man I was in heaven.

A couple seconds later, or so I thought I heard a knock on the door. “Par, uh Pearl its time for lunch.” I heard “Um who is this?” I asked, I didn't want to be going to lunch with a complete stranger. “It's Marcus, don't you remember, we made plans.

Oh right, I wanted to hit myself in the head with a book a couple million times, but then I realized that I didn't want to damage the book. “Oh, I am so sorry, I didn't realize that it had already been a half-an-hour, I sincerely apologize. “I'll be out in a minute.” I replied. I quickly slipped into a dress and opened the door, and there he was, in all his shining glory.

“Once again I apologize for not realizing the time.” I said, I felt like I had to say it at least five times before he would forgive me. “It's like I already told you, its no big deal, everyone has their off days, and today is yours.” he said.

I was so thankful that I had him in my life, he really seamed like a great guy, and I wish I remembered him. “Um I was just wondering but could you tell me about myself, what was I like? And what are you like? Could you tell me your hobbies interests, likes dislikes, that sort of stuff.” Well you were funny and great to be around, you always had your nose stuck in a book, and you wouldn’t go anywhere with out one.

I on the other hand, dislike reading, but I love playing music. You also loved it when I played the Phantom of the Opera on the piano, I would play and you would either sing or you would read, but I always loved it when you sang.”

I was a bit freaked out with how much he new about me, when I knew nothing about him, but I guess that's what happens when you have amnesia.

“How long have we been married?” I asked. “Two years, as of August the sixteenth.” He answered. “I wish I remembered all that transpired between us.” I replied, “I'm sure you will in time, and I will look foreword to the day you do.” He said.

“Um could I go back to my room?” I asked, I just wanted to be alone to think over everything that had happened and read, “Of course my dear uh, of course Pearl take all the time you want. Would you like me to escort you back to you chambers?” He asked. “No thank you,” I answered, “I can find them on my own, but thank you for your kind offer.”

I walked out of the dining room and headed back towards my quarters. I walked over to my book shelf and took out my all time favorite book called Nobody by Jennifer Barnes. It was about this assassin who has to kill this one girl but he doesn't end up killing her, instead he saves her. Lately I had been into books about assassins but I didn't really know why, maybe It was just one of those fazes that people go through. I picked up the book and started to get lost in it.

Nine letters. Two words. He refused to think of them as a name. With detached objectivity, his steady hands set the thin white paper, with its evenly spaced black lettering, to the side. He'd done this before. One, Two, Three... He'd do this again. As she got lost in the book she started to tune everything out. The cheeping of an owl, the sound of voices, and foot steps, and soon she was fast asleep dreaming about Claire and Nix.
