After that talk Abigail, Kamaria, and I all had, Kamaira was ready to go home. When I got home, she asked me to come in so we could discuss it all together with her mom. After hours and hours of talking, it was decided that all three woman that were about to get their memories erased would write themself a letter explaining everything that had happened in the past few months. Once Kamaria had called Abigail and explained this to her, she brought me up to her room where we spent the entire going over everything she had been through, but because hers is so long and extreme, we decided she should probably record it on my phone, because hers doesn't have much space on it. She wanted every detail of our relationship recorded in that video, bad or good. She also talked about the torturing she went through, though was very vague, talked about all of her achievements, and abilities. She talked about Mr Komachi and my family, about her name being Kamaria, the story behind that, she talked about almost everything. The video is five hours long. At the end, right when we were about to drift off into sleep, she made me promise to wait to show her that video until I was sure she was ready. And no matter what I think is ready, I have to at least wait three months after we've been dating. It's more romantic that way, she said.

Now I'm standing here in Brenda's bedroom, it's just me, Brenda, and the little girl Trifearia, she's nine years old, she had a crazy powerful ability and she's only nine years old, the thought gave me chills.

Brenda is sitting on her bed, her scared eyes locked with mine, she's nervous, unsure.

I step forward and rest a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"It's okay. There are little to no good memories in the past three months. This is a good thing. This is going to heal your daughters fears and worries" I remind her encouragingly.

It seems to help, but not much. Her shoulders relax slightly and she nods her head.

"You're right. You're right." She says a few times, quietly to herself.

I look back to Trifearia, and give a small nod. She nods back and steps forward, placing her palm on Brenda's forehead.

"Okay, I'm ready" Brenda says, after taking a deep breath.

Trifearia closes her eyes, I can see her squeezing them tightly as her concentration builds.

It takes only ten minutes for Trifearia to pull away, popping her eyes open.

"Okay, it's done" she tells me.

"Thanks you" I say offering her a smirk, the best thing I can produce at the moment. She smiles back.

Brenda blinks, confusion shinning in her eyes. I can practically see the cloud of confusion that surrounds her mind.

"What-what's going on? Who are you? What are you doing in my bedroom?" She interrogated, now a mixture of fear and confusion swirling through her head.

"Sorry ma'am, I'm Bethany's lab partner, we're working on a project together, I thought this was her room." I lie. Brenda falls for it, her face instantly relaxing.

"Oh, no problem dear, her room is right down the hall" she informed me, standing up and walking over to her door. She pulled it open and pointed to Kamaria's bedroom "right there" she said.

I nod "okay, thank you so much." I say, I'm walking out the door, holding Trifearia's hand, when suddenly Brenda says "wait, who's that?" Looking over at Trifearia. I looked down at her, and then back to Brenda.

"Oh I'm sorry, this is my sister Angela. I have to babysit her" I explain.

Brenda gives Trifearia a big warm smile. "Well isn't that just adorable. It's nice to meet you two, my name is Brenda." She greeted kindly.

"Hello!" Trifearia chirped merrily.

"Alright, I don't want to hold you guys any longer, Bethany needs to get her work done. Have fun!" She enthused before walking out the door and downstairs.

It was so strange, seeing her so cheerful and happy. I wasn't any where near used to this side of Brenda seeing as I only saw her when she was depressed, sleep deprived, and sad. It was nice, like a breathe of fresh air.

"Sister? Really? You wish" Trifearia retorts with a scoff.

I roll my eyes but say nothing, I need her help so I wasn't going to try and complain.

Next we pull Abigail out of Kamaria's room, bringing her into Brenda's room.

Abigail is breathing heavily, I don't even need to read her mind to see that she's anxious and hesitant.

After a moment she takes a deep breath and looks me in the eyes. "Promise me that even if Beth-er-Kamaria tries to back out, you'll do it anyways" she said. I didn't actually know if I would make her, that's a pretty horrible thing to do, but I promised anyways.

"Okay.....I'm ready" Abigail claimed, though she didn't look ready.

I look over to Trifearia and give her a nod of my head. She nods back before stepping up and placing her palm on Abigail's forehead, just like she had done to Brenda.

They both close their eyes, only fifteen minutes later, Trifearia pulls away, letting out a deep breath.

Abigail looks around confusedly. She rests her hand on her own forehead and blinks multiple times. "What-what is going on? Why do I feel so weird? And who the hell are you two? Wait, why am I in Brenda's room?" Abigail questions, seeming slightly panicked.

"I'm Bethany's lab partner, we're working on a project together, you told me to come in here right after calling me sexy..." I lied, earning an eye roll from Trifearia. I just couldn't resist.

Abigail squeezes her eyes shut for a long moment, before finally opening them and looking over to me. "What did you do to me?" She asked suspiciously. "Did you rape me?" She inquired angrily.

I take a few steps back, my hands up in surrender form as Abigail stands, making her way over to me, she was ready to kill and it was clear on her face.

"He didn't do anything. I was with him the whole time. What he said was true." Trifearia lied.

Abigail looked over to Trifearia and visibly relaxed. "Oh...okay" she said. Then she cleared her throat and made for the door. "I'm just gonna go home" she stated.

After saying goodbye to Kamaria, she left. Trifearia looked up at me. "You're welcome, by the way. You looked like you were ready to wet your pants. I was tempted not to say anything and just sit back and watch the show. But I'm just such an incredible person, so I didn't." Trifearia bragged confidently.

Now it was my turn to roll my eyes. "Yeah yeah yeah...Thanks" I muttered.

Now, only Kamaria was left...

I take a deep, nervous breath before stepping into Kamaria's room. She looked up from the floor, tears were already forming in her eyes. I looked over to Trifearia "could you give us a moment?" I asked her. It didn't take her any convincing to get her to leave thankfully.

"Adelram" Kamaria whispers. "I don't want to forget you." She whispered, a single tear falling down her cheek.

It felt like a hand was squeezing my heart as hard as it could. I took a step forward and slid my hand onto the side of her face, using my thumb to gently wipe the tear from her cheek.

"It's okay Princess. Just think of it like a second chance. I get a second chance to treat you right, and you get a second chance on happiness" I told her. I wasn't sure if I believed that though. I would have all of the memories of us and our time together but for her it would be like we just met, that's gonna be hard.

"We've only known each other for three months, there's not many memories to miss" I continue. "You have the whole rest of your life to make memories. Trust me princess, this is the best thing that could happen to you" I assure her.

She nods her head, seeming to start to believe what I'm saying.

"Adelram, I need you to promise me a few things" she said, looking into my eyes with such intent.

"Anything" I breathe.

She stands. "Promise me that you'll meet me, and you'll make a good impression. Promise me that even if I push you away or tell you I don't like you that you'll keep trying, and that you won't give up until I learn to love you, just like you did the first time. Promise me that you aren't just going to turn away. That this is your excuse to leave me and never come back. And promise me that some day you'll tell me about all of this. Maybe leave out some of the gory details, but I want to know about our adventures, about our time together. Even if I don't believe you, just tell me it like it's a love story" Kamaria pleads.

Each new promise she requested hit me like a brick to the face. By now I was close to tears myself. But I won't cry, of course I won't cry.

"I promise, Princess" I agree.

"And one more" Kamaria adds.

"Yeah?" I wait.

"Promise me you'll kiss me before my memories are gone" Kamaria whispers, her eyes moving to my lips.

I don't hesitate. Even if I wanted to tease her and take it slow, inch my way over to her mouth. Even if I wanted to just barely touch my lips to hers before moving them away as a way of teasing her, I don't think I would be able to.

My lips clash with her soft, cloud-like mouth. This time it's not a small peck, a small taste, this time, I back her up until she's pressed against the walls.

One of my hands tangles itself in her silky hair, the other wraps around her waist. Hers both wrap around my neck, pulling me impossibly closer.

My tongue pokes into her mouth, roaming every surface, tasting every flavor that floods her mouth.

I kiss her with every amount of hunger and desperation I've had to kiss her since the first time her lips met mine in a beautiful symphony.

It amazes me that she actually believed she was embarrassing herself by how unskilled she was compared to me, when in reality it was me following her every move, silently begging for more.

I could feel my heart racing inside me as her perfectly crafted lips move against mine with such intensity and passion. I was completely pressed against her yet I wanted to be closer.

Our lips move together in perfect rhythm. Her own tongue found my mouth and searched through every part as though I was the map and she was the explorer. It was an incredible feeling, one that ended much too soon when the door to her bedroom opened and in walked Trifearia.

"My God, I've been waiting out there for-" Trifearia stopped her annoyed rant when she saw Kamaria and I suddenly break apart, gasping for air.

"Oh-I-uh-I'm sorry." Trifearia muttered quickly before running out of the room, slamming the door behind her.

I looked over to Kamaria to see her blushing profusely. Her cheeks colored crimson with embarrassment, her eyes wide as she stood there watching the door.

I couldn't help smile at her face, she looked so sexy when she was embarrassed.

She clears her throat and looks up at me, "we should uh-we should probably get this over with" she stuttered nervously, but the hesitancy in her voice was evident.

The smile on my lips instantly vanishes. I knew she was right. I bring Trifearia back into the room reluctantly.

Kamaria takes a seat on her bed, her eyes glued to mine. The worry and dread clearly showing in her eyes. Her lip was quivering slightly.

I don't want this to happen, I know that's selfish, it really is, I know. But I can't help how I feel about it. All of our memories together, good and bad, are going to be vanished completely from her mind...okay, I'll stop complaining, this is a good thing, I just need to remember that.

I stepping up to her, placing my hand once again on her cheek.

"Princess I-I love you" I tell her, resulting in tears forming in her sad, turquoise eyes. "I love you too" she whispered.

For a moment, we just stand there, our eyes locked. I search hers, watching as emotions swarm through them without any hint of desire to block them off from me. I could practically read the words her eyes exuded to me. Her eyes have their own vocabulary, what a beautiful language to learn.

Breaking away from the contact, deciding that it's better if I don't prolong the inevitable, I give Trifearia a nod, wordlessly telling her to do the thing I selfishly didn't want to happen.

She steps forward, placing her palm on Kamaria, her eyes closing in concentration.

As time went on, I realized It was as though Trifearia could see all of the memories that she was erasing because she kept gasping and suddenly flinching, one time she even started crying, but she never broke out of the mind erasing.

Finally, forty five minutes later, Trifearia pulls away gasping. "Are you okay?" I ask her worriedly. "I'm-I'm fine" she replied unsurely.

I let it go for the moment to look over to Kamaria. Her eyes were still squeezed shut, her hand resting against her forehead as though she has a headache.

A few moments go by before she finally blinks her eyes open, looking around the room. A cloud of confusion glazed over her eyes.

"What-what's going on? Who are you?" She asked glancing between Trifearia and I.

I was already expecting this question, I even had my reply prepared. I knew she wouldn't remember who I was, or what I was doing in her bedroom. But those three words at the end of her sentence felt like a knife to my heart. Her words hit my like an anvil to the head. They hurt, as pathetic as it is, it even brought tears to my eyes.

She doesn't know me anymore, she doesn't remember the times that we shared. She doesn't have the memory of our first, second or third kiss. She doesn't remember that we both said we love each other. She doesn't know about the time that I held her in her bed all through the night, or the time she danced in front of me from the victory of winning a argument, or when we stayed up all night talking about whatever we felt like talking about. Hell, she doesn't even know my name.
