Damon was at the front door as soon as I opened it. I had no idea, where Raphael was and frankly- I didn't care.
"Aries what the fuck did you do?" Damon shouts and I push past him.
"Got my last pay." I say easily and walk up the stairs.
"Aries you can't do that stuff." He says following me. "I'm tired f being told what I can and cannot do. Look, I got over 2500 and I have over 5000 in the bank. Pack your shit and call Aaron. We're leaving ATL." I state and go into my room.

"Aries, seriously you're running again?" He asks me and I sigh and finally face him.
"It's all I know." I say simply and he presses his lips together.
"Aries." He whispers but I turn away and gather my clothes. He keeps repeating himself.
"Look at you!" He screams and I freeze.
I can hear fear trembling in his voice.
"You don't even know who you are anymore." He whispers and I don't know I'm crying until I feel tears on my cheeks.

"You're so equipped to being 'that girl' you don't even remember." He whispers and I stand up and look over at him. My head turning to the side.
"What?" I whisper back. "You're forgetting who you are." He says slowly.
"Are you saying I'm crazy?" I ask in disbelief. "No. I'm saying that you trained your mind to become Aries. But Aries- is no one." He builds up and I cover my ears.
I can't bare to hear this.
"Aries doesn't have a family. Aries doesn't have me. Aries isn't real. You aren't Aries." He says calmly and I drop to my knees and scream into my hands.
He needed to shut up. "I'm Aries! I'm Aries! I'm Aries!" I scream over and over.

I felt like my head was going to explode, I felt like I was unraveling.

"You're losing yourself. I can look into your eyes and see..." He stops and I stand to my feet slowly.
My hands shaking as I pile my clothes into my suitcase.
"See what?" I growl.
"I see a lost little girl." I pause at his words.
Hot tears streaming out of my eyes.
"You forced yourself to grow up. You never had a childhood and we both know why-" I can't let him tell anymore. I can't bare to hear anything else he has to say.
"Shut the fuck up. How do you know you even really know me?" I ask in a bitter tone.

"Because when I found you, you had a heroin needle lodged in your arm. You were drugged and passed out in the middle of a random apartment. Where would you be without me? You'd be dead. Cameron-" I stop him again.
He was speaking the truth and I couldn't handle that.
"Cameron had nothing to do with it. I was abducted. They tried to get me addicted to drugs so they could sell me as a sex slave and work for them. You saved me from that so yes I utterly thank you." I say in a calm tone.
I grab my phone charger and stuff it in my bag and slump it around my shoulder.
"So are you coming or not?" I ask quickly.

We're silent for a moment and we just stare at each other. "I'll go call Aaron." He whispers and slips out the room.

Finally feeling settled with everything, I strip the bed of the sheets and fold them and toss them in the dirty clothes hamper. I grab my bag and shut off the light and run down the stairs.

"Aries!" I hear Brooke call after me.
Awkward.
Major awksauce.
I turn around to look at her, she looks distraught.
"Are you leaving?" She asks glancing down at my bag and I just stare at her with my lips pressed together.
"He told you?" She asks in a curious tone.
"Is it even his?" I ask back in a harsh tone.
"Excuse me?" She asks in disbelief.
"I know about you and Harry. I mean give the man a break and he doesn't know. Don't torture him with the baby." I say and come down the rest of the stairs.

"I know for sure it's his." She says with dark eyes and I turn away from her.

"Well I wish you the best." I say and walk towards Damon's room.
"Wait. That's not what I came to talk to you about." She calls again and I turn to look at her.

"What?" I ask.
"Miranda Glacier." The name makes me heart stop as she folds her arms across her chest. "She used to hang out with Roselyn Merchant. The two were inseperable.The sister of Emily Merchant- the one who was supposed to be with Raphael. Do you know her?" She asks me and I swallow hard and step back. "M-Miranda?" I ask slowly and she nods. "Nope. Why?" I ask. "I have a feeling you know Miranda rather well." She says slowly and I step back.
"I know who you are."
She whispers and for once, I feel fear filling me.
"Don't worry. I won't tell anyone. I was just hoping you would have told Raphael. He has too many people hiding things from him." She mumbles.
The woman I was standing across-we were both in a state if distress.
"He's hiding too much." I stutter and turn on my heels.
Leaving her and her sex god of a husbands secrets there.



Damon began driving us to get Aaron. As I searched my phone for a random state.
"North or South?" I ask him.
"We shouldn't go anywhere mainstream. Somewhere random." He replies back.

"Like Maine, Colorado or something?" I ask and he nods. "I want to go West though. We should go to Nevada. Then you can work at Las Vegas." He offers and I search up the directions.
"Are you sure about this?" He asks me and I nod. "Yeah."
No I wasnt.

He picks up speed as we come to a stop light.

I feel myself beginning to breathe deeply and Damon glances at me. "Aries calm down." He says slowly as I look back down at my phone.

Another fucking text.

You aren't going anywhere.

I can't help it. I feel like I'm trapped. I roll down the window and scream, "Yes I am!"

Damon looks at me with wide eyes, "What the hell Aries?" He yells at me and I struggle to steady my breath.
"Drive!" I yell and feel my heart beat increasing.
Damon steps on the gas and he speeds down the street. I look behind me and search for any following cars but my eyes can barely steady.
"Aries calm down before you an anxiety attack." He says back to me.
But I can't help it. My stress levels were through the rough. I couldn't process this. I didn't know who I was.
I didn't know anything.

My phone vibrates again:
Slow down. If not- I'll kill Damon.

Damn there was no sugar coating that. But deep down I felt like this wasn't the same person texting me. This was someone new. The texts were straightforward.
I squeeze my eyes together and look over at him.
"He's threatening to kill you." I whisper.
"Oh hell no. He got me fucked up." Damon says rolling his next and turning into the right lane and swerving around.

My eyes closed together and I rocked back and forth. I didn't feel in control of my body. I felt like I was convulsing.

"D-D-D-D-Damon. S-S-Stop." I could barely speak. My mouth felt salty and yet dry.
"Aries you're having an anxiety attack. Calm down please. I don't have your medicine."
"N-N-No. D-D-Don't d-d-d-drive." I stutter. I was not losing him too.

My phone vibrates again and I glance down at the text.

I'm warning you. Stop the fucking car. I won't hurt you.

"STOP!" I scream and the car swerves to a stop.

The voice in my head silence.
The blood coursing through my body slows down and I fall back into the chair. Exhausted. Weak. Limp.

"We can't leave." I mumble, swallowing hard, feeling the sweat bead across my forehead.

"Where do we go?" Damon asks slowly.

"We stay....we stay."


We decided to stay with Aaron until further notice.

I for one was mentally exhausted and Damon ordered me to be on bed rest for a few days.

I was sitting on Aaron's couch while Damon made a few phone calls about my safety.

"Have you ever thought about counseling?" Aaron asks me and I shrug.
"You don't want any?" He asks and I shrug again.
"Well my aunt is visiting here on business and her boss is someone I think you should talk to. She's been through a lot and maybe she could help." He offers and I sit back.
"I'm not a charity case." I say smugly and he smiles, trying to show compassion.
"Trust me on this one? I even talked to her. I'm telling you this woman needs to write a novel. She could really help." He suggests and I sigh. "What's her name?" I finally ask.
"Rayleen Carter."
Name didn't ring a bell. Finally someone I didn't know.
"Fine." I mumble and turn over.
I hear Aaron squeal and clap his hands in excitement. "Great. You'll see her tomorrow." He announces.

I had officially met that dark spot in my life where my past was catching up with me.
I wanted it settled.

But now I was lost.

I wasn't perfect and I knew that...I was far from it.

~*~*~
To my Possession readers- are you pumped for the next chapter? I know I am!
And don't worry guys Rayleen is from another one of my books but you don't have to read the other story to understand the next chapter.
