Sorry this took a few years….I was very reluctant to update because this chapter kind of sucks. I planned on trying to fix it a long time ago, but things piled up and I forgot. I figured that people didn't really care, that it had been so long, but then I got some reviews asking for an update and I felt really guilty. I tried to fix it, but it's still not that good, it's mostly explanations. Well, anyway I hope you enjoy it. It's been long overdue.

Sabrina POV

"Huh? What are you talking about mom? It's me Sabrina!"

"Sabrina? Strange, that name seems so familiar."

"It should, she's your daughter," Puck said as he approached us.

"Daughter? I think you're mistaken. I think I would remember if I had a daughter."

What? I stared at my mom in shock. What was she saying? Was she acting? I stared into her eyes, they were clear, almost like a child's. I don't think she was acting. Then again, if she was acting all those years, if she was the leader of the Scarlet Hand…I don't know anymore. How can I be sure? How can I be sure that she's telling the truth? How can I be sure of anything now?

"That fool." A voice said behind me. I jumped and whirled, it was my grandma; my other grandma. "Don't worry child, she's telling the truth. Her memory has been wiped."

"Wiped?"

"Erased."

"Why?"

"You'll have to ask Siren. Though that's a bit too late now."

I felt a sharp pain pierce my heart as I thought of Siren again and tears prick my eyes. I took a deep breath. No. I need to keep it together. I need to find answers now. I can grieve later, but I have a feeling that the same won't apply to finding answers. I need to find out what's going on first. "Then how? How could any of this happen!?" I couldn't quite control my emotions. A breeze rustled past me, stroking my skin. For some reason, it made me calmer.

"You want me to explain?" She asked in a quiet voice.

I scowled. "Of course."

"You may not like it."

"I don't have to like it for it to be true."

She sighed "Kids these days," she muttered to herself. "Don't say I didn't warn you," she said in a more audible voice.

"Just tell me, please."

She sat down. "You should sit, it's a bit of a long story."

I shook my head, Puck patted my shoulder and stood beside me. She shrugged. "Suit yourself."

"Your mother, you need to understand, she never wanted any of this, this power. She viewed it as an abomination. She wanted to seal off her powers for good, but she couldn't. Sealing one's powers not only takes strength of will, but a reason as well. Your mother had that strength of will, but without a reason, it was all but useless. It was only when she found out that she was pregnant with you and Siren, that she found her reason. She didn't want to pass 'the curse' onto her children, so she went about sealing her powers. Unfortunately, she found out late, she would barely have enough time to seal them before you two were born, thus sealing the powers inside of you two as well. It's a long and very complicated process, one of the many reasons why you need strength of will. What she didn't plan on what Siren being three days early. She was brought into this world the day before your mother sealed her powers, and hers, completely. She couldn't stop you from getting your powers, she could only seal them while you were in her womb. Siren escaped this because she hadn't completed the process."

She took a deep breath. "Your mother realized this and wanted to get rid of Siren, but your father was there, and she very well couldn't get rid of Siren with your father knowing about it. So she decided to try to live with it, who knows, maybe she could even come to love Siren." Here she gave a bitter smile. "You know, it's bad when a mother must convince herself to come to love her child. But she never did because three days later, after the sealing was finished, she had you. You were her perfect child, you were her 'normal' child and Siren was her 'cursed' child. You probably don't remember it, but Siren was with you for the first couple of years. Your mother never grew to love her, as she had resigned to do, she despised and envied her. Despised because she was something that represented what she hated. Envied her because of her powers. Even though she hated her powers, she still longed for that power; it had been a part of her for so long that she felt almost lost without it."

She fell silent for a while, and just when I thought that she wouldn't say any more, she started up again. "I should have seen the signs, but I was busy with other matters and thought that it was just a phase, I never thought, I never thought that she would actually get rid of Siren. Someone approached her…someone who wanted an imp, badly. Your mother saw this as a perfect opportunity to rid herself of Siren, and tried to forget about her, she even managed to somehow erase her from the memory of your father. But she couldn't forget about her power, even though she hated it so, she also craved it like a drug, but it was sealed to her forever. As bad as it sounds, I'm not ever sure that she felt any guilt about it, or at least she didn't show any. I don't know what happened to Siren, by the time I found her she was already eleven, and she looked…haunted, no she looked worse. Like the living dead."

She closed her eyes in a sadness that seemed to penetrate her soul. I waited for her to continue in a state of shock. I knew I would cry and be an emotional wreak later, but now, I couldn't feel a thing. Maybe it was the breeze. It ran across me, numbing my senses. After an eternity, she started up again. "It took one long, painful year for her to recover. I use recover here loosely. She was never fully recovered, and I doubt that she ever would be. She could hide it well though, but I could tell that she wasn't…whole."

She opened her eyes, and now instead of overflowing with sadness, that were snapping with anger. "Your mother, over the years grew twisted. By guilt, by hatred, she allowed evil to worm its way into her heart. I suppose that's one of the reasons she became the leader of the Scarlet Hand, the other being her hunger for power. It also made her weak, so weak that that damn angel was able to take over her completely. I never understood what she did before that takeover. How she could have done that. How she got rid of Siren, how she viewed her powers…I didn't bring her up like that. At least, I like to think I didn't."

Here she took a deep breath. "What Siren just did, she took all of your mother's evil, including the angel, and banished it. I don't know how, I never knew that you could."

I was standing there, like an idiot, with my mouth wide open. Shocked wouldn't begin to describe the emotions seeping into me. Penetrating the numbness.

"Then what happened to Siren? Is she-you know?" Puck asked, putting into words what I desperately wanted to know.

"I don't know, like I said I didn't even know that it was possible. But the cost of such power must be high, after all every power has its price."

"So-so she could still be alive." My breath was barely a whisper.

"I wouldn't hold my breath on that, but it's a possibility."

"That's not a very nice story" My mother commented, making me jump. I'd forgotten about her.

Grandma gave a sad little smile "That's life." She turned towards me. "She has probably lost her memories because she hated her power from an early age. In order to rid her of evil completely, Siren rid her of her of all the memories that related to it."

"What caused this?" I demanded, feeling my edges start to fray as my vision blurred.

She looked away. "I don't know."

I felt a pair of strong arms wrap around me. "Don't worry." Puck whispered in my ear. "We'll deal with it together. Your mother, Siren, everything. Remember, you're not alone."

I felt the first tear slip down my cheek as I thought of those who loved me, and those who I loved. "Thank you." I whispered. I felt the warm breeze brush my face in a caress and heard its laughter. It was Siren all along.

I gripped Puck's arms as tears poured from my eyes, and my body heaved with sobs. We'd get through this. Somehow, we'd get through this.

Yep, ending is still as sucky as I remember it. Anyway I wanted to thank all of you for reading this shitty story, that's the only reason why it made it past chapter 7, and that's the only reason why I'm posting this now, so thanks for sticking with me on this sticky ride! Hopefully this answered any questions that you might have had, have a good life folks!
