~ "Yes dear?"
~ "I need you to help me with something dad"
~ "I'm listening"
~ "Do you know anything about what happened to Ben years back?" She asked and he gave it a thought.
~"Yes. I and his mother were close so I knew things about him. What happened?"
~ "I want to go to his old apartment. I need to find out something concerning his death. I didn't kill him dad"
~ "I believe you. I'd text you the address and I'd ask my private investigator to help you on this case. We'd find out who killed him don't you worry"
~ "Thanks so much dad. I love you"
~ "Love you more sweetie" He said and she smiled before cutting the call.
A text message came in from her dad and she smiled before looking at Leonardo.
"Gotten the address. Let's go" Andrea said and he nodded before they both left the house.
They entered the car and he drove off to the address. Leonardo stepped down and stared at the demolished building.
Andrea's eyes widened when she got down and stared at the building.
"I didn't know someone destroyed the building" Andrea muttered walking to the destroyed house.
She stepped on a photo frame and she stepped back before squatting down. She picked the photo frame and tears welled up in her eyes when she saw Ben on the frame.
His beautiful smile, the smile she fell in love with the moment she saw him but it was so unfortunate that Alicia loved him first and that he loved her too.
A tear drop fell on his photo frame and she sniffed hugging the frame to herself.
She felt a sharp pain in her head and she gasped holding her head. Leonardo rushed to her squatting in front of her.
"Are you okay?" He asked and she shook her head as painful flashbacks came back. Melvin arrived at the house and he stared at Andrea who was bleeding from the nose.
"What's wrong?" Leonardo asked fearfully and she opened her eyes.
"I want to remember everything that happened." She said and closed her eyes.
"Don't force it" He said but she didn't listen.
"Stop!!" Leonardo snapped shaking her but she didn't stop.
"Don't tell her to stop. She has to remember so she would be free" Melvin said from behind and Leonardo turned. Andrea opened her eyes and stared at Melvin.
"Who are you?" He asked.
"I'm just a passerby who saw her struggling and decided to lend my help. I didn't do wrong did I?" He said and asked.
"We don't need your help"
"Yes you do. I can help her remember what she wants to remember. You want to remember right?" He asked and she nodded.
"You'd only hurt yourself Drea" Leonardo said looking at Andrea. She blinked before smiling when she realized the nickname he gave her.
"I will be fine" She said.
Melvin casted a spell and a bottle appeared in his hands. He casted another spell and the liquid in it began bubbling before he calmed it down.
"Drink this and you'd be able to remember everything you forgot" Melvin said walking to her.
Andrea smiled at Leonardo before standing up. She took the bottle from him and stared at it for a while.
"This isn't poison right?" Leonardo asked.
"No it's not" He assured with a smile.
"I'd take it" Andrea said and opened the bottle cap tossing it away. She inhaled and exhaled before pouring the content into her mouth. She squeezed her face at the sourness and she swallowed it.
"Why is it so bitter?" She asked tossing the bottle away.
Her eyes widened and she lost consciousness falling to the ground. Before she could reach the ground, Leonardo rushed to her and caught her.
"What did you do?" He asked Melvin.
"I helped her remember" Melvin said with a smile and he looked at Andrea.

"Leave me alone!!!" Ariel screamed at the demon.
"Why should I when you're bound to be my mate?" He asked coldly.
"I don't want to be your mate" She said standing up.
"You don't have an option" He said and she stepped backwards.
"Yes I do" She said and started removing the rocks. He let out a dark chuckle before speeding to her and grabbed her by the neck. She shivered at the coldness of his hands on her neck.
He brought his lips to her ear.
"I want you Ariel, all of you and I'm gonna have you soon" He said and she held her breath feeling his hot breath on her ear.
"I won't let you" She muttered and he laughed letting go of her.
He made her face him and he held her arms behind her back with one hand and pulled her closer by the waist.
He placed his lips on her bare neck and she shivered feeling a bit sensation inside of her.
"S..stop" She stuttered.
"I thought you said you won't let me so why am I still able to kiss you?" He asked and she stared at him.
He let go of her hands and shape shifted back into Conrad.
"Conrad?" She gasped a bit and he scoffed.
"You're the monster?" She asked.
"You're the one who sees me as a monster in your head so I decided to play that role" He said and she bit her lips.
"But you scared me" She said.
"I needed to know if you would run away from me if I was a monster and you did." He said and she wanted to step closer but she stopped when he gave her a look.
"I'm sorry"
"Don't be. I'd stay out of your life when I get this dark side out of you. You don't need a monster by your side" He said and snapped his fingers before pulling her by the arm.
The rocks crumbled and she stared at his face. He let go of her and wanted to walk out but she pulled him back.
"Don't leave. When my dark side notice you're here, she'd come and have us both killed" Ariel said and he just stared at her.
"She won't notice on time. We have to leave this side, ion like it here" He said and gently pulled out of her grip before walking away.
She bit her lips before running after him. She sighed staring at his back view.
A loud roar was heard and they both turned swiftly. A horned scaring looking monster was running towards them and they faced each other.
"Run" Conrad said and they both started running.
