Chapter 7: invasion of secret memories
I hug Thomas as he looks off into the beach. I pull away and smile. But it quickly fades when he doesn't. I start to think than become concerned. "So where is Adeline and Ethan?" He starts to cry. he than try's to say words but no word came out of his mouth. I start to worry and get mad at the same time. "Thomas! Where. Is. The. kids?! " I say with in separate sentences to show him I was infuriated with him. Sometimes I don't get my point across like i should. He stutters "I-I um...they...." *sob* I look at him sad now. "W-why are you crying?... AND WHERE IS MY SISTER?!?" He looks up at me and saddens. I than calm down and say "where is Adeline and Ethan?" He than stops crying and looks at me. "W-well, once I put you to sleep I carried you to my bedroom and I looked outside... we were being by the red tribe. A-and I saw that everyone...everyone got killed on sight." I than start to cry. "Wha-what happened to Adeline?" He than brightens up and says "oh the kids aren't dead but we ran away with your body just in time...." I than start to get impatient "ok... so where are they now?" He than says "well I took them into the woods away from the city but-" he starts to cry a little but stops quickly "-i-i... the kids got kidnapped on the way here and-" he pauses to stop himself from crying "the blue tribe has them right now." I than step away from him and ask "well, WHY DIDNT YOU SAVE THEM?!??" He than looks down ashamed "my highest priority is you right now! And I can't risk losing you too!" He says angry. I than lose it and yell "WELL THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I CANT MARRY ANYONE! ILL END UP JUST LIKE MO-" I stop and cover my mouth crying. He gasps. He calms down and asks "w-what happened?" Thomas asked. I than run away to the room I was just in, and I started crying. "I-I can't end up like mom... I should of listened to her!!! She warned me about men! I can't trust them! The time you want to trust them but never earn it!" Than my moms voice whispers in my head. I shake my head and start crying. I hear knocking on my door. "Juliet! I HEARD THAT!!! Listen I need to talk to yo-" I yell back interrupting him. "GO AWAY!!! " He than opens the door anyway with a sad smile. "Wrong answer." He says walking to my side. I pull away from him and cry. "You know, if you won't tell me I'll have to use this." He than shows me two vials with green glowing liquid inside it. I than look at him scared "what is that?" He than smirks. "It's a way my ancestors used to find something out about someone's past. They become inside it. They don't ruin the memories but they do see them. They can even interact with the characters but if you do, they remember." I than gasp and yell throwing a pillow at him. "YOU WOULDN'T!!! THOSE ARE MY PRIVATE HOPES, DREAMS, MEMORIES, THOUGHTS?!?!" He than smirks holding the vials carefully. "Than tell me or I'll use them!" I than gasp. I whisper "traitor!" He gasps. i get up to leave but he holds my hand tightly. "No, please, don't go." I try to pull away but his grip was strong. "That's it. You brought this upon yourself." I than gasp. He smashes the potion or vial on my head causing me to faint into a deep, deep, deep memory. The one I never wanted anyone to know about. The one, and only one, I tried to keep locked inside me. But now I can't hold it in anymore. My private thoughts, emotions, memories...and feelings open to the one I loved. Or used to......
Thomas's POV: ( point of view ) DIDNT EXPECT THAT ONE DID YOU?
I catch Juliet before she fell on the ground. I carry her to the bed where I lay next to her. Just watching her sleep or knowing she's in my reach was a beautiful thing, no! a precious thing to me. "I'm getting distracted here." I put the covers over us and just laid there. "Just a little longer..." I than remember this potion only last 12 hours so I had to move quick. I take the vial and break it over my head. I fall into a deep sleep. I wake up in some kind of hotel. I hear yelling outside of the room I was in. I walk out and see a couple fighting. I than see a girl. A little girl that looked 9 years old and had long, brown hair in a bun. She looks like A lot like Juliet. Oh right that is Juliet . I than see she was holding a bag full of...money? she skips up the stairs and stares at me. "Juliet..." I whisper. she looks at me confused "w-who are you?" She asks in a curious kiddy voice. "I'm Thomas, why do you have that bag?" She smiles and says "oh! My mom needs some money for the house. So I got them from my job." I look at her confused "job?" Her smile fades "oh, don't tell anyone. But we need the money and food." I was going to ask another question but than she skips ahead of me before I said a word. She than watches the couple fight. the woman yells "WE NEED MONEY TO TAKE CARE OF OUR CHILD!!! NOT SO SO YOU CAN GO OUT TO BARS AND CHAT WITH FRIENDS!!!" Than man yells back "WHAT DO YOU KNOW!!! Your a woman! A pathetic little snake who goes out buying cloths instead of food!" Juliet try's to look away. But with that yelling who could? "I NEED the cloths for Juliet she only has ONE PAIR!!!" I gasp "these are her parents?" Juliet starts to sob quietly and holds my hand. I look down at her as she sobs. She than quickly stops and walks up to them and says calmly "mom, dad, stop please I-" the dad than runs up to her and say "oh! HERES THE PATHETIC FAILURE OF A SON YOU MADE!!!!" She starts to cry "daddy stop your hurting my feelings!" He than laughs and grabs her collar and yells. "Like what? Your feelings matter? Your a girl you have no purpose other than to clean, populate, and serve the men! but you? Your a pathetic worthless excuse of a daughter! Oh! And by the way where's my money?" She stops crying and says, "b-but this is the money i-is for mom and-" than all of a sudden the dad slaps her causing her face to swell. I couldn't take anymore I was about to punch him but he walked inside his apartment room before I could. He takes his coat and Juliet's money and walks out of the house. "I'm gonna be gone for the weekend! Won't be back till Tuesday!" I than grab his shoulder and I yell "woman are worth more than you!!!" He than swats my hand and walks away. I look at him with rage. I than look back and help Juliet up off the floor. She had a black eye. I than pick her up and bring her inside her house. Her mom didn't seem to care. "I-I'm sorry for you to hear that mister...". I finish her sentence. "Thomas! I'm Thomas." She smiles but it fades quickly as she cries. i love Juliet. I would kill that man if I could but...that's her dad. Juliet looks at me and cries. I hug her and say "it's ok." She than looks at me seriously and gets off my lap. And leaves the apartment. I chase after her and hold her hand. "I-I'm sorry about, my dad.... he hates me for not being a boy." I look at her sadly. "Um...you want to get something to eat?" I ask her trying to cheer her up. She looks at me frowns "I can't trust anyone." Than all of a sudden her mom runs out of the house and holds Juliet. "Listen to me! Juliet! Your a special, wonderful, beautiful girl! Don't listen to your father! Listen to me! You can't trust men Or boys! And if you do, I pray you be careful! I made a mistake but you are a strong, independent woman! You don't need men or boys! You can't trust anyone! And that's not ok what they do to you or me. It's to late for me but please don't make my mistake! Stay single forever." I gasp silently. But I love her. Juliet runs to the beach and sits down. I sit next to her and sigh. "Juliet I'm sorry about that but you can't listen to your mom!" She than angry and yells "what do you know?!? Your a boy!!!" I than sigh and say "yes I am a boy but you can trust me, and trust me! Do t listen to your mom. You should marry someone special to you." She than sighs and stands up. I than take her hand and say "it's getting late why don't you go home with your mother?" She frowns and says "there will be no home to go home to, you know?" I smile and say "you will though, you will grow up with the most beautiful home ever." She eyes me suspiciously. "You mean...I get married?" I sigh "if you choose to." She gets angry "I'll never marry!" She yells. I could feel my heart shattering right there on the spot. "Why not?" She than yells "I can't count on a boy to help me! I may be useless but I either live happy but ultimately useless, or die trying!" I start to feel the sadness in this little child's eyes. I than pull her head up to face me and say. "You always have a choice, if you truly love that person you can never deny it. Or stop the feelings." She pulls my hands away from her cheeks and says bratty "I'm gonna stay single forever I don't need anyone!" I than pull her chin up to face me again. "It has nothing to do with you. Your not helpless!" I than stand up proudly and say "but look at me for example. I'd make a wonderful husband. someone that truly loves you would be there for you. But someone like me. I'd be there at your side always. You'll never be Never hungry, never sad, and never alone." She than looks into my eyes deeply. "I'd be your shoulder to cry on, anything you'd ever want I'd give it to you on a silver plater. Never will you be hurt again. Anything you desire I'd give it. ID MAKE YOU HAPPY. Surly there is no man or boy who could be trusted, counted on, or love you more than I do." She smiles a little "But the trick is...the only thing in return you'd need to give back...is trust." She looks at me intensely. "So do you love me?" I gasp and look at her. How could I not respond, when asked by such a beautiful little girl who IS Juliet. How could I say no? Her eyes filled with mixed emotions. Sad, mad, but hopeful. I than kneel down to and hold her hands. "I do,yes" She smiles and cries at the same time. I than kneel down and ask "now would you marry me?." She smiles wider and starts to cry. I wipe her tears and kiss her forehead. She smiles and say "yes." I laugh a little than hug her.
Than the memory stopped. I was awake by Juliet and happy. "S-she so special, so beautifully perfect."
