BITE

"i think we're gonna need to take this back to the house." jinxx said confirming my fear that this was really bad.
"Renee, you run back and set up the second bad in your room. i'll follow and try and get the other guys to come quietly, Ashley you-" jinxx took initiative
"i'll take it up through the window and lay it there." Ashley finished and we were dismissed to do our jobs.
i slowly stood up shaking slightly and ran. down maple, left on spruce, right on ash, god this town loves trees. i soon found my way to the front door and up the stairs by passing Andy on the way. once at the top of the stairs i skidded slightly running into the wall and causing a crash it was necessary with how fast i was going. so much for quietly. i darted to my room throwing everything off the second bed and just as i had kicked off the last discarded tee shirt from the bed there was a scraping sound as the window opened. Ashley shewed me out of the room i made my way to the stairwell ready to push anyone down that came up.
"I swear Andy if you don't talk to her she might implode." jinxx said from down the stairs.
"tell me what happened and i will." Andy said sounding angry
"God Andy nothing like that she just.... well she forgot a big portion of her life. like 57 years." jinxx said obviously tapping into my memory banks.
"cant be. she remembers everything. otherwise she wouldn't want to talk to me." Andy's voice faltering.
"Andy, does it change what you think if its from 193 years after she became a vampire to 250 years after." Andy's footsteps stopped.
"whats up there?" his voice sounded scared
"you'll have to find out yourself. its her story to figure out. you should be there to find it this time." jinxx accidentally hit below the belt.
and in two seconds flat i was centimeters from his blue eyes "all right love tell me what happened." he said in a low voice that terrified me while making something rise in my chest.
"Andy, um we all fuck up, i'm no exception, i don't know what i did exactly but something weird was there in the mausoleum. and well the best way to explain it is to look and see." i said nervously my voice cracked a few times.
he was silent nodding as i opened the door. he took a step back in horror and covered his mouth. on the bed was a girl that looked familiar to me but i couldn't place her. she had stitches in all the places an organ would be. her eyes and mouth sewn up like she was being buried and she had thousands of skin grafts going up her body. her matted hair laid in a pool behind her. she looked like a modern day Frankenstein monster.
"what the hell did you do Renee?" Andy asked horrified
i blinked and pressed my mind to remember. but i couldn't even remember if i passed her in my history. "I wish i knew." I said barely audible.
i could feel Andy slipping away from me and i expected him to either walk down the stairs or go over and inspect the body to figure something out. but he wrapped his arms around me completely covering my view of the body it could have been a loving jester but he ducked his head to my ear and then said something that shook me from the inside out. "I've seen her before too. i watched you for two hundred years. you enjoyed bloodshed. it fed your anger. but you'd come back in spirts in those times you'd be different. you didn't only see blood." it was a terrifying thought. i remembered what he said about the movie theater effect. he was trying to do it to me. scare me till i took the pill and slept till i remembered and sorted out my mind. but i wouldn't. i couldn't. he didn't know what its like to be able to sit in a room where you couldn't wake up the other person but you knew they weren't dead. it was maddening.
"Ren, you said this was your room your entire life right?" Ashley said shaking me from my thoughts as i looked at him surprised that he used my name, well half of it anyway.
"yeah. i painted the shudders on the window hot pink when i was six with my mom and loved how odd it made my window look against the normality of the other green ones." i said leaning into Andy who had moved to be behind me so i could see ash.
"then tell me, who is this here with you at the Pierce The Veil concert in this picture?" he asked pointing to a picture.
"That's my best friend." i said instantly knowing the answer without looking.
"whats her name" he asked... i stayed silent as it hit me i couldn't remember "when was the last time you saw her." i couldn't place that either. it didn't make sense that it would have been the concert all those years ago, i felt like i had seen her soon. "Renee, darling i need you to look at this picture and tell me what you see." she said taking down the photograph and walking toward me
i looked and a small wave of what i've come to know as victory washed over me. "its her." i said smiling to myself
