He told me that if I ever want to see my friends and family ever again, to do what he says." I replied. "You do not take that tone with me young lady." "Hm looks like I just did. And you can't do anything about it because I'm not living under your roof. Not your roof, not your rules. Just leave. I was better without you before up until now. Sure I miss you but I don't want to keep fighting with you. It's not right. We shouldn't be fighting like this. And I don't want to do anything that would hurt you or me." "But you already did. By leaving." "Daddy, you and I both know that I left for the best." "But-" "Please just leave or move so that I can." I turned around to grab my bag when I saw that it was gone. "Where's my bag?! Why did you take my bag!?" "What are you talking about?" "My bag was right here. And now it's gone. Grrrr. BRODEY GET IN HERE NOW!!" I yelled. He popped in silently right after I called for him. "Whats up?" "Where's my bag?" 

"Which bag?" He asked with a slight smile. "You kow what I'm talking about." "Oh alright let me go and grab it." 

The New House

 Christanna's pov

"Hello?" I answered my phone groggily wishing that I hadn't stayed up all night talking to Marc about Elena. "Chris it's me." The voice answered. I didn't have to wake up that much to know that it was Lena. "Lels? What happened? What's going on? Where are you?" I asked suddnely awake. She sniffled a few times and took a few shaky breaths. "I was going to leave cause Shade never actually liked me. It was all just a sham." That bitch. I'm going to kill him if it's the last thing I do. "What happened?" "Well I was going to leave but then my dad came and then he tried to 'save' me like he did last time when I almost got killed. And so I got mad and then he got mad and now I'm at the Face. Can you come get me?" "Of course. I'll be there in a few." I got there in 5 minutes flat when originally it would take me about half an hour. 

 "God damn woman. I didn't realize that it would take you so long." She told me. When I got there, she was drinking her favorite, a cinnamon vanilla nut hot chocolate. "Oh shut up and get in." I replied happy that she was safe. When we got in she was oddly quiet espically since she was wide awake. Awake and drinking her hot coco. "Alright spill. What happened to make you this quiet? You're never ever this quiet not even in your sleep." "Alright. I've been having weird dreams about Mystery Man. And like it's snippets from the past. Like before the accident." "OHMYGOD OHMYGOD OHMYGOD!!!!!!!!" I screeched. "You haven't been able to remember anything! What is it? What happened!?!" "Well um we were at a beach. Holding hands. And he wasn't all dark and mysteryious. Well he was but not in this creepy weird way he is now. And right before I woke up, he kissed me and it wasn't like a oh my god where did this come from kiss. It was a similar kiss that I remember; like we've done it before and I kissed him back. Oh my god. What the heck was going on with her? We got to the house in an hour and a half. "Holy shit! This is the new house?!?!" "Haha yup it sure is. You like?" "Like?! I LOVE!!!" She squealed. I showed her up to her room and let her get all situated. While she was doing that, I went downstairs to turn on her favorite movie, Divergent.

When all of a sudden I heard a crash upstairs. Not too long after that, I heard someone scream. But not just anyone, Elena. I couldn't tell if it was just one of her excited screams or one of her scared ones or a mixture of both. But I decided to go and investigate. So I decided to go invisible and check things out. "Come out Christianna. I know you're there." "Gr-Greyson?" I asked in disbelief. "In the flesh." "Oh my god." I whispered doubtfully. "I can't believe it's actually you! I thought you went with the rest of your family to Mexico!" I asked. "Yeah well I was going to but then I started dating somebody and I couldn't just leave her. I love her." He said glancing at Elena when he thought that I wasn't looking. "Who?! Who was- or is- it?!" I asked excited. 

"Well, let me start off with that since Elena doesn't remember who I am, my name's Greyson." He said.

How I lost her (I think)

Greyson's P.O.V

"Why do I need to know that?" Elena asked snarkily. "Because I know that it will help later when I can help you remember everything." I replied calmly. "How would you help me. And why would I want you to help considering that you tried to make me you slave? And you just broke into my room. Through my window?" "I was seeing if you still had your powers and I see obviously that you do." I replied a little annoyed. "So? You have no right to do that especially what you did to her." Christianna said scolding me. "Yes I understand that but it wasn't my plan it was Shade's." I replied "You little bastardly bitch! You did this to me! You ruined my first chance at a real boyfriend since I moved! Especially one that didn't cheat on me. Or lie to me! Like YOU DID!!" Elena screamed at me her anger boiling to the breaking point. "Yes I see that but-" "But what?" Yup she's pissed now. I was racking my brain trying to find the words that I wanted to say. "that's what I thought now get out of my room now before I make you." She said coldly.

I looked over at Christianna for help but all that I saw was a sympathetic look and sorry written all over it. "Ok. If that's what you want." I said sadly. I went downstairs only to find Shade looking down at his phone with a worried look. "You." He spat like he just ate a bad hamburger. "Haha good luck trying to get her. You'll never find her." I sneered acting as if I caputured her. "Cacaw Cacaw!" He randomly screeched. "Cacee Cacee." Went the reply. "Yup I knew it. You didn't capture her. She's in her room." He told me as if he was the smartest person in the world.

Before I could leave, he stopped me and said," I don't know what you did to her to make me come here but no matter what you do anymore, Elena will always hate you for now and forever." And ran upstairs. 

 

Actually Explaining Everything

 Shade's POV

I got up to Elena's room only to find her alone and crying into a picture I gave her of us when we were little. "Hey what happened with him?" She took a little bit to slow her crying to sniffling. "Well um he told me that he did everything to get me to remember and that the whole reason why he made me mad at you was because he wasn't approving of you and me together and I told him that he wasn't my father and that he couldn't control my life because it's my life and until he can figure out how to change that then he can get out and he said that he was going to find a way to and then-" As soon as she was going to say what he actually did (I think,) I heard a scream coming from downstairs. "What did she do this time?" She asked running downstairs.

I got down there only to see that Elena had this serious look on her face that kinda made me scared. Although I couldn't see anything, I ran in front of her intending to protect her when she side stepped me and gave me a look that could only mean 'i got this.' So I ran over to the couch to watch her walk around in a slow circle as if she was in a boxing fight. a few seconds later, she put her hands up into fists. What is she going to fight with? It was weird she could see whoever it was but I couldn't.

"Show yourself you idiot!!!" She yelled annoyed. "alright have it your way." She replied in a sort of satisfied way after a 10 minutes. She made all the metals fly at amazing speed to just midair which apparently was a body. As soon as it hit the person, they became visible again. "BRODEY!?!?!" Christianna yelled. "What the hell??" Elena had that look like she was about to kill someone. She was about to punch him when I grabbed her arm at the last minute. "Let. Me. Go. Now."  She said threatening at me. Her words cut into me like I was butter and she was a knife. Brodey gave her a smug look which made her freak more. No more than 5 minutes after that, Brodey was on the ground with every single metallic piece of object in the house was either wrapped tightly around him or pointed at him ready to attack. 

"I just-I just had to ask Ch-Chris a question." He said fighting for air. I looked over at Elena to talk to her alone, when I saw an angry look across her face. "Elena-please." He whispered desperately. "Why?" She asked in a serious tone. "Let him go." Christianna said
