Outside the cabin, he
listens. There are two men in there. They sound...familiar. What does the one
mean by his question?
He frowns. Does he know
them? Do they know him?
Hesitantly, he opens the
door.
"Trev!" The
smaller one starts towards him.
He looks at him with no
recognition.
The smile on his face turns
to worry. "Trev, it's me. Del."
"Del?" Something sparks in his eyes.
Then dies. He looks at Lenny.
"These are friends of
yours. Del
and Pete. They've been searching for you and now it looks like they've found
you."
"Del. Pete." He tests the names. Shakes
his head. "I'm sorry, I...I don't remember."
Del steps closer. Reaches to take his hand. "It's
alright, baby. We'll help you remember. We just have to get you home and then
you'll see. It'll all come back to you, I promise."
"Where is 'home'?"
"New Orleans, the French Quarter. Your house
there." Del
smiles tentatively. "Ring any bells?"
He frowns deeply. "No.
I wish it did."
Pete comes over. "Don't
try to force it, Trevor. Do you remember anything at all?"
"I know how to use a
sword, strangely enough, but I have no clue why. Or why I had one with me. And
once in a while some word or another triggers something but then it's gone
again." He sighs. "I guess I must have done something horrible. Or at
least that's the theory we came up with." He looks at Lenny.
"Something my mind won't let me remember so it's blocking
everything."
Pete glances at Lenny.
"Did he hit his head in the crash?"
"Yep, and lots of other
body parts too." He chuckles. "He was a real mess when I found him,
but nothing broken or I might have taken him to the hospital anyway."
"Why didn't you?"
"I think you
know."
"What do they know? And
why did he…Del,
ask you if I knew what you were? What are you?"
No one speaks for a moment. Del and Pete look at
Lenny. Finally Del
says, "Tell him."
"I'm a Vampyre."
Man I wonder what is gonna trigger his memory and he may only get part of it back..lets see where the characters take us. excellent installment
