And as simple as that Eryx not only feels his body becoming healthier, but he receives a surge of memories, some clearer while others are more muddled, not only memories of his life as Eryx, but also memories of his past life, he still doesn't remember his or his sister's face and name, but he can remember his childhood and other memories.
However the memories from those moments from the video aren't a part of the memories he remembers. He can recall meeting a group of friends and taking drugs due to their influence, he can also remember the first picture they sent him, and the increasing requests. He never ‘paid’ the drugs sober so the memories of the acts don't exist, only the aftermath and the blackmail.
It all started when his friends found out he was taking drugs to become a vampire at the prime age of 17, and then this nightmare kept happening for two years. They kept threatening him, and he kept consuming drugs to forget what was happening, the texts, threats and verbal abuse made Eryx become a shell of himself, he stopped playing the piano and violin, shutting out and focusing on studying. He wanted to make his brothers proud with his studies at least, since he was a disappointment already.
The system detected harmful memories to the user that threaten the missions’ progress.
A sudden Mission appeared!
The youngest deserves a good school life!
(In Progress)
Brother Ezekiel and Mael are worried about the dark past of the youngest of the eight brothers. A family means helping each other and also killing humans if necessary!
Brother Mael is a detective from the vampire-human taskforce, convince him to help you erase your past as a human and rebuild yourself as a newborn vampire! (Reward: Mael will start doting on you and the probability of him helping you in the future will increase. Penalty if failed: Your relationship with Mael will be forever soiled).
Brother Ezekiel is a professional hitman but a softie for his younger brothers, convince him to erase the existence of those who are harming you. (Reward: Peace of mind, all of the memories of the videos and pictures erased and a gift from Ezekiel. Penalty if failed: A scar and both Ezekiel and Mael will be arrested).
What's with these penalties? If he fails it's the same as ruining both of his brothers' futures. Eryx gets up, going to his brothers.
“My memories are back”, he says, grabbing the two men's attention, “All of them”, he completes. “I think feeding helped”.
Mael grabs his shoulders. “What do you remember?”
Slowly he tells them, all about how he went after drugs to awaken as a vampire to how his friends threatened him by giving him human drugs and forcing him to do those sexual favors in exchange to not telling his brothers. And how that night he was going to do the same but he ran away scared after they told him they intended to take his virginity, he didn't take any drugs that night but passed out while running and woke up in an alley already having turned.
He doesn't tell them about the dead body, though.
“I see”, Ezekiel says, his expression is obscured by the badly lit corridor, but Eryx can tell he's controlling his anger by his voice alone.
“Ha, they're insane”, Mael says, his expression more clear, his eyes wide and his lips pursed, he's pissed off.
Eryx appreciates his brothers, now that he has his memories back he can remember how much he was cared for. Even if they constantly argued and not all his brothers were exactly caring, he had everything, except being a vampire like them. His biggest fear always was dying as a pathetic human, it didn't help that he had an inferiority complex to Luc, his brother who's only two years older than him. While Eryx had his talents, he was human, and he was constantly compared by those around him to his more talented vampire older brother.
But that's different now, he not only is also a vampire, but the memories of his past life soothe his heart, he doesn't need to be perfect to be loved, he knows that now. But he didn't know that before.
“Brothers, can I ask you a favor?”
