Chapter 17: I Will Make You Remember

He took her back to his bedroom. He carried her like a princess and she was just leaning her head to his chest. She still couldn't remember what happened yesterday but she felt safe in Zion's arms.

She didn't notice that she voluntarily wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face on his neck. He sighed deeply when he felt her lips brushing through his skin.

He put her down gently on the bed while she stared at him with confused eyes. He sat on the bedside and smiled slightly.

"I know you're confused. I promised I won't do anything against your will. I didn't regret what happened yesterday though, I wanted it to happen. But I didn't force you, Ari." He explained in a gentle voice.

His eyes were a mixture of loneliness and pain. He was expecting he's different from the other guys she dated and that she would at least remember him, but he was wrong.

"I-I know. I didn't feel disgusted when I woke up beside you. I-I just feel sad that I couldn't remember what happened." She blushed from her last statement.

Somehow, he was relieved. He thought she would regret it. Although she couldn't remember, she felt sad for forgetting what they did.

"What were you doing outside? Why were you crying?" He asked.

She took a deep breath and fixed herself to face him. They were sitting on the bedside facing each other.

"I couldn't remember what happened between us yesterday. But I somehow remember being here. Yesterday, in the hallway, I heard a voice, calling my name. I'm the only one there so I walked towards from where it came from, it led me to the Moon Goddess' painting. It was the same earlier, I woke up from the voice I heard yesterday. I went out to look for that person and it led me to the room with a door that has a crescent moon and sword symbol. I was about to open it when a force suddenly pushed me on the wall."

He was just listening to her. Looking at her beautiful face, staring into her ocean blue eyes.

"The voice didn't stop and it was whispering something in my ears. It was in a different language." She continued.

"Can you tell me what you heard?" He frowned.

"Ere bi te aime, afflition les de luna. Do you know what it means?" She asked.

He saw her pouting when he shook his head. He wanted to help her but he really didn't know the meaning of those words.

"But why do you think I could hear it? I mean why is she calling me? And what's in that room?" She asked.

He took a sigh then stood up. He walked towards the window and gazed upon the moon brightly shining in the dark sky.

"A hundred years ago, I met a woman and fell in love with her. I was happy. We were happy. But I found out that she wasn't a werewolf nor a human. She wasn't a vampire either. No one knows what she's called. She was a product of a forbidden love and was considered an abomination both by the Gods and Demons. For some reason, she was cast out by her mother and came here. That's when I met her. She was on the brink of death so I took her here and that room was her bedroom." He said in a gentle and sad voice.

"What happened to her?" She asked.

He turned to see her reaction. He was hoping she would remember him when he told her about their story.

"The Gods took her. I didn't really know what happened to her but I guess they killed her. The last time I saw her, she was in a cage, and she was full of scars. I know she was beaten and tortured. We made a promise to each other. Even if her life ended, she would come back to me and I will wait and look for her no matter how long it takes." He answered.

She could feel the longing from his voice. He was looking at her and then she suddenly read what's on his mind.

"Z-Zion, I-I don't know. I couldn't tell if it was me you were looking for.  I don't even remember what I felt towards you yesterday. If I can't be cured, it would be like this everyday."

He walked towards her and sat on the bed again, taking her hands.

"I know it's you. I can feel it. My heart, my body, my soul, they're screaming that it's you. Why do you think you keep on forgetting being in love? I think someone did this to you. And I am going to find out who it was." He insisted.

He has a point. As a Terran, amnesia was common in their world especially if you had an accident but she never heard of someone that could forget her feelings towards another overnight. But she wasn't convinced that she was his former lover.

From his story, she wasn't human or a werewolf. She wasn't a vampire either. If she was that woman, what was she in her former life? 

She looked at Zion's face, memorizing the details of it. His shoulder length jet black hair was loosely scattered. She just noticed that he was half naked. She was trying to remember what it felt like to be in his arms, to be kissed and to be touched by him. It's frustrating that she couldn't remember her own feelings.

He touched her on the cheek, worried. He was anxious that she would suddenly change her mind and won't talk to him like what she did for the past week.

"Hey. Don't give up on me now. I know it's hard. It's disappointing, sad, all these feelings were messing me up inside. But Ari, I've been waiting for you, searching for you for a hundred years. I will do everything for you. I don't care if you wake up each morning forgetting your feelings, I will make you remember. I will make you fall in love with me everyday. Stay with me, Ari. I promise I will help you get your memories back. They will pay for what they've done to you." He said in a firm voice.

She really felt like she knew him for a long time. His voice sounds familiar and when he held her hands then touched her cheek, it felt like she was already used to it.
