Remembering

My name is Nathan. Just Nathan. Or so I thought. A strange night which got me back on track onto my life. My REAL life. I thought I was a normal man. Apparently
I am not normal. Let me begin.

....

I have closed the front door behind me and went on past my parent's room, past the living room, and then into the kitchen. I stopped short. My brown hues observed these three strange women that where in the kitchen. MY kitchen. My PARENT'S kitchen if you want to get technical. My back pack slipped from my hands and onto the floor. I stared at the three strange women that where in black robes. Very clitche but they fit their part perfectly. Three old witches.

"We have been waiting for you." One said which had a locket around her neck. "I am Merelda." She had spoken again and her voice sent shivers down my spine.

"I am Gracey." The one in the middle said. She had a beautiful red choker around her neck.

Then the last one had spoken. She seemed to be the oldest. Her voice was a little raspey and scary. She had prayer beads wrapped around her neck like a necklace. Prayer beads for a witch. Well to each their own. "Teresa."

I was at a loss. My lips parted. I stared at each and every one of them. I could not neccesarily see their faces. Their hoods made sure of that.

"Who are you? " I finally managed to say.

"We have introducted ourselves. We are witches that have come from far away to bring back your lost memories." Gracey said in a matter of fact tone.

"Stolen." Merelda corrected.

"By David." Teresa said and then all three laid eyes on me.

"Who is David? And witches? Ha! I beg to di- Whoa..."

I took a step back as Teresa floated in the air and guided to me. Her fingers curling around my neck. I could smell chocolate fudge cake on her breath. Did she eat my cake that I had left in the container on the counter? My eyes trailed to the container. It was
open so that was a definite yes. Her fingers squeezed harder and she nearly shook me. My head bobbed a little.

"I believe you now." I said, struggling to speak.

Her sisters quickly left the room as Teresa's hand raised slightly as if that was code for, 'Leave me with him'

"You need to remember. The worlds are tearing apart." Teresa said urgently, releasing my neck.

She glided above the table and into a chair. Out of her robes
she took out a ball. Racking her knuckles against it the ball shattered into five big pieces.

I was confused. "I am nothing special. Regardless of me loosing my memory."

"Your closed mindness clouds your judgement. Come here. I must show you something. Look. Looook." She motioned for me to come closer. I did.

I obeyed and sat right across from her. She snatched up my hand in hers pulling it over the five broken pieces. My eyes flickered a light blue. I snatched my hand back from her. what I had seen frightened me. It was a lake reflecting a blue moon. Wait no it wasn't a lake. I was staring directly at the moon. My body felt heavy as if I had lost lots of blood.

"Again." Teresa urged.

"I guess." I said, not wanting to fight the woman.

This witch. This being wasn't as scary as she seemed. Besides I wanted to prove her wrong that my memories, what I am is nothing special. I will prove her wrong. I will show her I am normal. I was worried that I myself may be wrong about...Well...Myself. What was that blue moon? It was literally blue. No mistake about it.

My now brown eyes turned light blue once more. The woman clutched my hand in hers. I trembled. I could not help it. Again the blue moon shinning so beautifully. My body felt weighed down. I turned my head and there was a pool of blood underneath me. It was mine. I touched it. I felt it! BAM! I was whacked across the
face by something hard. It felt of flesh. I touched my cheek and looked up to see a man crouching over me. He had me by the shirt with his hands now. He had short black hair. His eyes where a dark brown. He wore dark blue dress shirt. Dark blue pants. Over his clothes was a brown long coat. Again came the slap.
Then another and another. He finally stopped.

He drew me in close and whispered in my ear. "I love you." A piercing weapon plunged into my gutt. I screamed in pain and snatched my hand away from the witch. My hair had turned from my usual black color to pure white. I screamed again and touching and feeling my hair.

I was confused, in pain, my mind was not registering anything correctly. Why was my hair white? Why did that man hurt me in that vision I had seen? That memory!
Teresa tried to reach out as if to comfort me but I pulled back and into the corner of the kitchen.

"DON'T TOUCH ME. DON'T TOUCH ME!" I screamed at her. Tears rolled down my cheeks. My hands tugged at my hair. My fingers ran through my hair multiple times and tugged again. My hands then trailed down to where I had felt the stabbing pain in my gutt. The wound wasn't there but I felt as if it where.

For hours on end I sat there in that very corner sobbing. The witch did not need to try to show me my memories anymore because they where painfully coming back on their own now.
She only just waited in the living room to leave me be. I covered my eyes with my hands. There it goes again. WHOOSH! My memories...

The world was crumbling beneath my feet. Beneath our feet.

"David move." My voice commanding and with authority.

"Stop your madness Nathan. Your killing us ALL!" David pleaded.

"We do not deserve to live any longer. For years they have used me David. For years they have done to me what they wanted. The Gods will no longer have control over me and neither shall the humans." My eyes held agony and anger.

I was ready to purify this world of evil. No...Purify it of everything.
Purify it so that we can start over a new world. A world to my liking.

"I understand. Your hurting. You can feel everyone's pain around you. You have been their sacrifice to stop the worlds from tearing apart. To make the worlds whole again they have used you. People have wronged you Nathan. But please I beg you do not
wrong them back. You where created to do what you where made to do. Remember you used to be so happy. You used to love giving them a second chance to live. To learn from their mistakes."

"SILENCE! Just SHUT UP." Nathan snapped.

"Nathan I will not let you do this!"

"What makes you think you can stop me?" Nathan challenged.

David stepped forward. Pain in his eyes. "Lechin my love!" He shouted as if to snap me to my senses. It did not work and how DARE he use my real name! We fought for hours. And then that was when he had me on the ground. That was how I ended up in that pool of blood.He slapped me to snap me to my senses. Heck he even stabbed me to see if that would work. It did not. David sobbed before stopping and holding me in his
arms.

"I love you. My love. Lechin I BEG of you. PLEASE!" He clutched me tighter in his arms after pulling the blade out from my stomach.

The ground finally crumbled beneath us after crumbling everywhere else. Together we fell into the darkness. Yet he still held me. I was barely coming to my senses.

"Tell me again. That you love me." I whispered finally to David.

"I love you." David said simply. He sounded so miserable.

I gave him a hurt look.

"Say it like you mean it! I want to feel it from you. I want to feel your love from your heart and lips." I pleaded.

Deep down I was begging for help. Help for someone to save me from my insanity. Begging for forgiveness. David touched my cheek. His lips smooth, pressed against mine. He placed my hand on his chest. A tear ran down my cheek. I believed him and in that moment his body was sent flying from mine.

My body glowed a deep gold. He came soaring back holding me loosely in his arms.

"Lechin please bring the worlds back with your power. I can't do it without your help." David's plea had been granted.

In the blink of an eye everything looked normal. People moved as if nothing had happened. We where back on the ground right under that beautiful blue moon. David stared me in the eyes and I felt a surging pain through my body.

"You shall not remember this. For if you remembered the reason why you went on your rampage you may be set off to kill us all once again. You shall not remember until I fix everything. Until I make a world for you, me, and our people. A world far far away away from prying eyes. Then we can solve this blasted problem and figure out why the worlds and dimensions crumble." His voice faded.

My vision blurred and darkened. I remembered alright. He thought I would forget this? I don't think so. All of my pain gone now. All of my confusion gone. Oh I was a little angry now. Not at the world but at David. That stupid idiot. I stood up to my feet and walked out through the living room and outside past the front door.

I yelled up to the stary night skies, "DAVID!Get down here NOW!" And thus is the end of my story. Ha. Sike. This story will never end until the day I truly die.

((I hope you all enjoyed that story. >_< ))
