[Third person pov]
"AAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah" the scream of a young child could be heard coming from a small room in a London orphanage.
The child in question who was screaming was a boy. A boy who was too beautiful to be called as such .He had copper coloured skin and long silver silver hair. This provided a contrasting but breathtaking picture . However the picture picture of the beautiful boy could not be seen at the moment as the boy kept yelling in his sleep with a terrified expression on his face.
A young red haired girl with a big green pair of eyes who was sleeping next to the boy was startled awake by the scream and rushed towards the boy to comfort him.
She evidently worried about the boy by the expression on her face. Though one can see she was used to the silver haired boy's nightly screams.
" Emy , emy , wake up . Wake up,.... quickly ! emy your having a ...nightmare. You will wake the matron again . She will punish ...you emy, so please... wake up."
quietly pleaded the red haired girl to the silver haired boy worry and concern displayed in her voice with tears starting form in her eyes . She kept shaking the young boy's shoulders trying to wake him up.
Due to the constant shaking it was not long before the young boy opened his gold colored eyes. The eyes were almost glowing in the dark of the night. The boy now identified as Emrys , but affectionately called emy by his best friend woke up from his nightmare and stopped screaming. He was disoriented from suddenly waking up. But he shook it off and quickly sat on the bed. He started breathing heavily, while facing the young girl.
While inhaling with difficultly he said between his breath's .
" I.....ha...*inhale* remember . I .....remember everything ... now ... Rosey ." Showing a excited face at the end.
" What are you talking about emy, are you alright? You were having a nightmare again and you were screaming ".
The green eyed girl now known as Rose nicknamed Rosey by Emrys asked clearly worried.
After calming a bit he answered.
" It's nothing Rosey , I am alright ... hah * exhale*. I am more than alright. Everything ...is ...so clear now I remember now. I am finally complete ..Rosey." Said the silver haired boy in an ecstatic tone hoping to calm the worrying girl.
However this didn't have the desired effect on the girl , instead she got even more worried about the boy.
" W.what are you saying emy, you are making me worry.Tell me what do you remember? Is it something bad? ."
Asked the girl in a curious but concerned tone.
Hearing this Emrys looked straight into his red headed friends eyes making direct contact.
No perhaps friend is not the right word , his one and only friend , the only one who actually care about him in this life , his family.
[ Emrys pov]
So I reincarnated huh. That's explains a lot actually.So that's why I always felt like there was always something missing always .
My memories of my last life , my meeting with the entity called the guide, my destiny , my death. It was because I didn't remember any of it .
That also explains the scary nightmares .
I was having nightmares of my death almost every night this past year. Perhaps ....it was because I was about to awaken.
I saw Visions of me dying in a cold alley floor alone the pain I felt I saw it in my nightmares.
It was a brutal thing to see for a 6 almost 7 year old child .
I was indeed a child before going to sleep today after all I didn't remember anything. I was just like any other clueless orphan child.
So I am an orphan in this life too. Huh.
I kinda thought I would have parents In this life at least a family.
Right ! I have Rose. She's my family.
She's a child though . Children change their mind all time.
But I am a child .
I suppose I am not anymore, I have the semi adult memories of my last life back . So am I gonna abandon Rose because I remember .
No , she is still my only family In this life. I will never abandon her.
I can't and I don't want to.
At least as long as she wants me around.
she's not going to abandon me after I tell her the truth right? right.
anyway.
why did I remember now of all times though a day before my 7th birthday.
Curious.
Wait.
I feel like I keep forgetting something. I remember the guide giving me something a black ball ...oh ...oh the system/ artifact.
How can I forget about the system. Should I open it now? I am really curious about what the infamous system can offer.
But I can wait to do that after pacifying Rose. Look at her worrying over me ... so.... cute.
Should I tell her?No no she's just a child, I don't think she will understand if I told her about my memories.
But I tell her everything since we became friends. Hah.. look at me acting like a child. Guess my kid brain's really affecting me. Sigh.
I remember, when she came to live with us in the orphanage.
Her ' relatives ' kicked her out of their house when she was 4 and dropped her in the orphanage. Can you believe it 4 years old , how heartless do you have to be to kick out a 4 year old child . I don't think she even understood what was going on when she came here.
She was crying everyday. She was alone most of the time. Since nobody got along with her or was it because she was afraid of the other kids. Either way one day I caught one of the older kids , George I think his name, was bullying Rose . He was kicking her repeatedly in the stomach .
She was sobbing on the floor but he didn't stop. I felt bad watching her get beat up, so I charged at him and I kicked his ass.
It wasn't that difficult to beat an older kid when you yourself are constantly bullied because of your unusual features and you had to defend yourself since day one.
you may ask where the adults are in the orphanage while this is going on and you will be shocked to know they mostly don't care about what we do as long as we don't step out of line and show our bruises to outsiders. I mean they give us food and send us to sleep but that's it. They leave the orphanage kids do what they want.
And Kids can be cruel . Very cruel sometimes.
So I grew up crueler. The kids here they call me the 'Beast '. Because I don't back down even once i start to fight and I fight with all my might until my opponent is down on the ground. The name may also have been used perhaps to mock me due to my uncommon looks.
No the irony is not lost on me when I look at that now.
But a side effect of my reputation was the loneliness. Kids were either too afraid of me or they didn't like me so I didn't have any friends until... I met Rose.
She started to follow me after that day I saved her whether it was for protection or because she didn't want to be alone I didn't know. Constantly she was following me everywhere I went. I tried to ditch her at the beginning numerous times but she always somehow found me in the end. I got used to her company after a few months though.
I slowly become friends with her . It was nice to have someone and not be alone. we did everything together and we both became really dependent on eachother after a while.. So after spending couple of years together we got really close. So close infact that we decided that we would form our own family since we were all that each other's got.
We chose the name dragoon as our last name since niether of us knew their last name. We chose the name since dragons are the strongest beasts we knew and Rose wanted our name to be of a strong beast like my nickname. Additionally I happen to really like dragons in this life . At one point I was obsessed with them and stories featuring them.
After that rose and I acted like a real pair of siblings. We became a family of our own.
So when I started having nightmares and night terrors . Rose started sleeping next to me to take care of me. she can be sweet like that.
This has become a daily routine for the past year.
And now we are in this situation where I have to decide whether I want to tell her about my memories I hope she understands.
