Chapter 94 - The manipulated memories and the Real ones

The next day.

Inside the living room of the demon Lord, Gregory and Sonya was sitting opposite each other.

Sonya didn't know if all this makes sense, but she really wants to regain her memory, so she's willing to trust Gregory on whatever he's about to do, even though it seems ridiculous. The dude doesn't even have any tools with him.

Gregory deep blue eyes stared into her brown one, "are you ready love?" he asked, already reading all her thoughts like they were both sharing the same mind.

Sonya is already numb to this, love, darling blah blah, so she didn't bother asking him to stop, "I have no idea how you are going to do this, but I'm ready." she said.

Sonya was sitting on the blue fluffy couch, with her leg crossed, while facing Gregory, who sat down with his upper body turned to face her.

Gregory scoffed at her reply, "you will soon understand dear. Now concentrate and let you mind relax. Give your full focus to me and breath in and out." he said.

Sonya did as she was told and felt Gregory's cold palms on both sides of her face.

It was so chilly, which sent a shower down her spine, but before she could wrap her head around it, she found herself back at when she was young.

She was playing alone in a park, dressed in a cute pink Cinderella gown, with her hair tied in a twin ponytail. 

A beautiful girl, dressed in the same outfits, but in blue colour, made her way to where she squatted, playing with her toy and pushed her for no reason. 

It caught her off guard and she fell down, which made her hurt her hands due to the impact of the fall and started crying.

This was planted in her mind by Gregory. He is manipulating her memory. In the original memory, Clara walk to her and ask to play together. 

Manipulated, (Sonya's parents saw the scene from afar, rushed towards them and scold Clara for pushing their daughter.)

Real, (Sonya's parents saw Clara with their daughter and looked around. When they didn't see any adults around, they came towards them and asked where Clara's parents were, before giving her and sonya some sweet and left them to keep on playing together.)

Manipulated, (A few years later, Sonya  caught Clara with a knife stabbing her parents to death in their room, while asleep. She ran to stop her, but her parents were already dead, and Clara push her making her hit her head on the wall.)

Real, (Clara got a call from her and rushed over with her parents, only to find Sonya crying beside her death parent. Clara ran to hug her, while her parents call the police, but Clara's grandma, who was the guardian then, could smell Gregory's demon's scent in the house.

Someone they knew must have been turned and came to kill them for a reason only known to them.)

Manipulated, (due to the impact of the pushing, Sonya lost her memory and forgot about her parent's death. Clara parents adopted her to keep the secret of their daughter being a murderer.)

Real, (Sonya begged Clara's parents to let her stay with them, saying she will work as their househelp to repay the kindness. Clara also pleaded with them to not separate her and Sonya. She already has a room at their place anyway, as she has slept over many times.)

Manipulated, (After taking Sonya in, Clara befriend her In front of her parents and make her life a living hell when they are not around. Starving and beating her.)

Real, (Clara's parents told her not to talk about being their house help, that she is also their daughter just like Clara. They took her in, as the detectives were present when Sonya was begging to let her go with them. They also agreed that it will be best for Sonya to be with a family she can depend on and willingly wanted.)

Manipulated, (Every time Clara's parents were out, Clara would chase Sonya out in the cold, or in the hot sun without eating anything and let her in when it's almost time for her parents to return home.) 

Real, (Clara stayed with her and support her, making sure she didn't think about her loss, and even sleeping with her on the same bed to make sure she is not suffering. 

Whenever Sonya develops a fever, she will use her special ability to erase her pain. That is how Sonya was able to survive the trauma of losing both parents at the same time.)

Gregory finally let go of Sonya's face. He believed the manipulated memory is enough to plant a hatred in Sonya's heart.

Sonya opened her eyes, which has turned raven black. Gregory was about to rejoice when her eyes return to its normal brown colour after she blinked.

Instead of feeling hatred, she felt confused. She wondered what she has done to Clara to deserve all that from her. 

Clara's face was blurry in the memory, as she could only see Clara's face when the darkness has taken over her entire being.

Gregory felt infuriated, 'how can someone be like this? she just recalled a memory of someone killing her parent, but instead of feeling hatred and the urge to revenge, she was wondering why Clara would do that?' he thought.

Gregory kind of develop a respect for Sonya's soul, she's very rare. 

He couldn't continue for now, or else Sonya would lose her life in the process, as the manipulation energy is too strong, and couldn't be attempt on a human more than one in a while. 

He would have to wait for a while till her soul is balanced, before he attempt it again and make it more interesting.

An amazing thought pop up and he felt like Sonya is suitable for it. He stared at the girl that had tears streaming down her face and confusion written all over her face and smirked.

He wouldn't just be making her develop hatred anymore, he is going to make her something the guardians dread the most.
