Oz's POV's

Someone who should never have been born. Someone that will only bring disaster and misfortune. That's what my father always said and whenever I saw him, I would try desperately to make him care for me. Isn't that what any child would want? It took a few years but I realized that what he said was true. I am nothing but a monster.

I looked to the dark haired adult and gave a smile, talking to him and making sure that we looked each other in the eye. Soon enough, the young man on the opposite side of him and Alice was starting to fall asleep, just as he planned.

"Oi Oz, are you sure It's okay?" The long haired girl beside me, asked. Alice, my chain. She knows about me and Gil's past, she was there after all. On that memorable day. I looked to her with a sad smile "Yea, It's about time he knew about his locked memories."

While we waited for our companion to wake, I brought out the gold pocket watch I always carried around. As I caressed the engraved crest with my thumb, I couldn't help but remember the day we found this watch. The day when we made a promise of everlasting friendship.

As usual, I was running away from my studies while dragging my faithful servant and best friend, Gil. In everything I do, my reluctant servant would be with me. It was just like any other day except that time, as we ran there was some sort of unstable ground and we both fell. I closed my eyes, thinking it was the end but when I opened them again I didn't expect what I saw.

Emerald eyes met golden ones as he realized what the younger had just done. "But why?" I asked as I looked at the dark haired boy's pain filled face "You idiot! I'm a vampire! I can heal myself!"

"Because I'm suppose...to protect...the mas...ter.." After finishing the last syllable of his sentence, Gil collapsed and fell beside me. Immediately I sat up and went closer to him "Why Gil? Why?! I'm nothing special..." I told him "I'm so sorry." As I repeated those words twice or maybe thrice, I thought of something. Looking around quickly, I found a sharp piece of rubble and with that, I made a cut on my palm. I winced slightly at the pain but it didn't matter to me. What mattered was my friend's survival. I moved my palm closer to his mouth and the red liquid dropped into his mouth. After a few drops, he checked the dark hair's pulse to find it normal, and not slow and dying like it was just minutes ago.

While he was glad his friend was alive, at the same time he knew he had just cursed him. "...I'm so sorry..." The moment those words left his mouth, he saw the other stir and slowly open his eyes. "...Young master."

"Gil!" The moment I heard his voice, all my thoughts went away and the only thing on my mind is 'He's alive!' Without thinking, I hugged the golden eyed boy "Idiot! I thought you were going to die. You're not allow to die on me, got it?"

"B-But that's not a valid reason-" I hit him in the head before he could even finish "No. Now promise."

"I-I promise never to leave you again, young master." Gil said as he wrapped his weak arms around his master.

After a while their rescue came and Gil was taken away to be checked by the doctors to see for broken bones and such. I was in the same room we met the first time. I was reading my book just like how I do everyday when uncle Oscar came in. We talked on what happened and he explained Gil's condition to me.

"Oz, there's a reason why don't give our blood to humans." Uncle Oscar started "Think of the consequences."

"I just didn't want him to die." I answered simply yet honestly. It was true. I knew the consequences of my actions but I didn't think. "I know it was selfish of me but still..." I closed my book and looked to my uncle "I didn't mean to make him bound to me. I didn't think until it was too late."

At my words, Uncle Oscar just sighed "You won't be able to drink blood from anyone else, you know that right?" He asked, of course I knew it. It was one of the many consequences. I nodded "Yea..."

The effects of being only allowed to drink from one person were never showed because a few days after that...

The sound of fingers clicking brought me back to reality. I looked to the person who was snapping to see no one other than "Alice?"

"About time! I've called you five times now!" Alice said, clearly frustrated from his lack of attention towards her. He gave a small laugh as he tried to call her down "Ahaha, sorry. Anyway, I think it's about time Gil woke up." He said and started calling out the older man's name but none were working. Alice offered to punch him but thank goodness he woke up before that. They had a little argument but I decided to break it up and change the topic. "So how was your nap?" I asked him with a smile and his answer was just as I expected it. "It was fine but I had the strangest dream..." he trailed off and looked quite unsure of himself. I could already guess what he was thinking, I knew him that well despite the many years we've been apart. He may have changed physically but his personality was still the same despite his best efforts to show his change.

I gave a smile, I'm the complete opposite of him. I may look the same physically but that didn't mean I didn't change, personality wise. I look like Oz of the past, I may also speak or act like him but with time, everything can change. With time, anyone will change. I was only in the abyss for a short time and yet, so much time had already passed in the real world. I never meant to keep the secret for so long in his number of years but at the same time, I didn't plan to tell either. But he deserved to know because I can't remain alive if I don't tell him. I won't be able to find Alice's memories and to finish what I came here for. What I came back for. He wasn't the only one with questions that remained unanswered. I, too, have my own questions that I want to be answered.

"It wasn't a dream." I told him, keeping the smile on my face "It was a memory."

We have many things we want to forget and yet still remember. There are truths that are better left unknown. Ah, the bliss of ignorance.
