Black roses are the purest

Memories better left forgotten

I gasped for air as I sat up.I felt my limbs grow numb and my head was pounding like crazy.I looked around me and noticed that I was still in the car."Was it all a dream?" I noticed the car was parked by the side of a road.Tate had fallen asleep in the front of the car.I tried to regain my thoughts.I remembered everything now.That whole part of my childhood had been an erased memory which I hadn't dared to try and think about anymore.My mind had repressed it to the point of forgetting it but deep down,it still lived in my thoughts.Everything started making sense now.My fascination with Tate was probably due to my mind trying to remember him,once more.I felt the tears flow as I thought about all he probably had gone through because of me.I crawled up to the front seat,near where he was sleeping.He seemed so peaceful,you wouldn't be able to tell he was the same man who had previously killed two people.I brushed his hair out of the way and kissed him on the forehead as I once had in the past.I could feel him start to move as I pulled away.His eyes opened and he looked at me confused.
-Aurore?Are you okay?Are you crying?What happened?
-It's nothing.Just some repressed memories which resurfaced.
-What memories?
I looked at him as he stood up straight and turned towards me.I felt myself hiccup from the tears.
-It's not important anymore.
He grabbed my face with both of his hands and looked at me straight in the eyes.He pulled me against him and hugged me tightly. "You know?"  "I know."  "I'm so sorry.So,so sorry."  "Don't be.It's not your fault.I would do it all again in a heartbeat if I had to."
I felt my tears soak through his shirt.I felt the guilt eat me alive.He went through hell just for my sake.Was accused of being crazy,dragged away to god knows where and put through god knows what just for my sake.

-Tate?
-Yes?
-The seven people you murdered...
-They were rapists.
-And the men on your list?
-Also rapists.
I pulled away from him.
-You don't have to do this.
-I do.If I don't then who will?Others will know the same fate as you did that day.
-But...you...
-I can't return now,it already has begun.
-How many?
-Ten more.
-That many?
-And possibly more than are hidden.
-What happened to...Charles?
-He's still living,the son of a bitch.He never got convicted for his crime,no one knew and they still don't.He's not gonna be living for long,though.
-You...
-I know his location.He's the last one on my list and my main target.
I wiped my tears away and stared at him in surprise.
-All these years,I never forgot.I lived my life in search of him so I could murder him with my own hands.I spent my days collecting as much data on him as I could and along the way,I found some more on other rapists.I started making my list and managed to take down seven of them before I was taken to jail.I had always hoped that one day we would get to see each other again,somehow.Imagine my surprise when I saw you in jail,in the court yard by the fence.At first,I thought it couldn't had been you but as the days passed by,I knew it was you.I guess deep within yourself,you knew too.You knew me and your mind made you gather info on me.
-How come you didn't try and communicate with me through your powers?
-I was afraid I would scare you.Plus,back then your powers weren't fully awoken either.
-What happened after...the incident?
-It's a bit of a long story...
-I don't care,I have to know the truth.
-Fine,I'll tell you.
He put his hand on my face and pulled me closer to him.
-What happened after the incident was...
I felt his lips against mine.I couldn't help but smile. "You're still gonna tell me what happened.This conversation isn't over."  " Don't worry,I know."  "Oh and another thing."  "What?"  "I love you."
