Chapter 283

Rex.
“Anything. I just want this to stop,’’ I tell him with too much eagerness crawling out of me. I know that there is a possibility that he won’t be able to help me but just hearing that there is something he can do, knowing that Blue was unable to get into my head just makes me hopeful.
“I am not saying I can make everything go away but I can trigger you to remember.”
Okay, that is not what I wanted. Getting my memory back will help me see things the way there are. I will know who did this to me and maybe with that, the person can get me out of this spell.
“I will rake it. I will take anything,’’ I tell him.
He nods “You are going to be doing all the work. I will just get it out of you. Your missing memories are inside your head. They are just being blocked by some kind of spell. I want to try compulsion. Get you to fight the spell. Help you to remember.”
I nod.
“Whatever it takes Gyles. I will do anything.”
He seems hesitant “You have to understand that there might be things that you have blocked out on your own. Things that you don’t want to remember. Once I do this, it will all come back. Are you okay with that?’’
I take a deep breath. That is a lot. I don’t know what my mind could have blocked out. If I don’t remember anything. That means I don’t want to. What if it is something that I can’t handle? Something that will break me?
“We don’t have to do this,’’ he voices out as a disclaimer.
I shake my head immediately “I want to do this. I can’t continue like this, knowing that I could just wake up one day and hurt you or anybody else.”
“Okay. If you are sure,’’ he adds. He pulls away from me and stays on his knees in front of me “This shouldn’t take anything. Look at me,’’ he tells me. I shift so that I am in front of him. My eyes stay on his. Suddenly, his pupils dilate and his eyes become black. I feel like I am in my trance as he breathes out “I want you to remember everything. I want you to unlock your memories right now.’’
At first, I think it is stupid and won’t work but in a second I feel a pull so hard and fast that my head starts to spin. It feels like a can of worms has been opened up inside my head. I feel an overwhelming surge that comes with a splitting head.
“Do not block it out. Keep your eyes on me,’’ he counterattacks. His voice is firm, almost in a commanding tone. I can’t stop looking at him. He is controlling me right now. I can’t seem to pull away from him as it all comes to me. The day at the motel. The woman. Her face is all I can see now. he is being pushy and it is working.
“Do you see it?’’ he asks.
I nod but my eyes stay frozen on him, as everything becomes clear. “Do you see the person responsible for this?’’ I nod again and a smile sprawls on his face as I try to control my breathing. It feels like I am running a race in a standstill position. One that I don’t want to get off on. The face I see is familiar but I don’t know who she is but it feels like I have seen her before.
“Who are you?’’ I shout to the person.
Her smile is one that I will always remember.
We don’t talk much as she makes some incantations. Words that have no meaning to me. It feels like, with every word she utters, electricity enters through my veins and travels all over my body. I feel it all as she continues and it doesn’t stop until I walk back to the motel room, with no memory of what happened.
Everything happens so fast, but my eyes remain on Gyles all through it. The door to Blue’s room opens and the woman from my memories walks in. her eyes roam around as I snap out of my trance. My hands are shaking, I want to scream it out, tell Gyles that she is the one but I can’t. It is almost like I am in a trance again. Almost like she is doing it all over again.
“Oh, I thought Blue was in,’’ she runs her hands through her hair. She is talking to Gyles but her eyes are on me. There is this known look on her face.
“He’s not in,’’ Gyles manages with a faint smile. I want to scream at him. Tell him not to trust her. She is the one that brainwashed me.
She is doing it again.
Gyles stands up from the bed and walks over to her. He is trying to be polite. He has been too polite right now. This is not the time to be polite. She is the enemy. She is the villain of this story.
“Hi, we haven’t officially met. I am Blue’s Aunt Levine,’’ she smiles warmly. Drifting her attention away from me. How hard is it for me to say my thoughts out loud? Gyles helped me remember but now I can’t say them out. It is almost like she is still in control of me and all my actions. I know now who she is but I can’t tell him. They shake hands and I watch them.
“Nice to meet you, even under these circumstances. It is a pity that he didn’t do a formal introduction.” The fact that the person that did this to me is Blues aunt. His mother’s sister terrifies me even more. If she can do this to her sister. She wouldn’t mind hurting Blue or Gyles.
“Rex, you are awfully quiet,’’ they both look at me and my eyes never waver from her. I try to say the words but almost it is almost like she is pulling the strings.
Controlling me again.
“Nice to meet you, Levine,’’ I blurt out those words. Far from all the things I wanted to say. Far from the things I need to say.
Shit.
