<h4>Chapter 396 The difference</h4>


    Alex smashed the bottle on the floor before he charged towards Zeke, grabbing his cor.


    "Tell me, Zeke… what the hell is going on with me?" he hissed. His fangs lengthened and his eyes were back to being red again. It almost looked like he was just one of them, a normal, pure blooded vampire. "And about Abigail… is she really my wife? Am I the husband who left her? How? Why? Why did I forget her?!"


    He was raging, hissing at Zeke, looking so lost and utterly confused.


    "Answer me, Zeke!!"


    "Yes, you''re right. You are her husband who left her and then you forgot about her," Zeke finally told him, causing Alex to freeze, as if he was unsure how to react.


    He just stared at Zeke for a while, wide-eyed, shaking his head in disbelief as he mumbled. "So I… already loved her before and even married her… since when? How long ago did I leave her?"


    "Alex, isn''t it better if you ask her all these questions of yours?"


    "I can''t stand it!!!"


    Alex dropped his head as his grip on Zeke''s cor tightened. "I can''t stand seeing her cry. She''s been begging, crying, even doing all these things to… She''s trying so hard… and yet… I still don''t remember a thing!" he exploded. "All I have are tiny fragments of memories shing in my head but they aren''ting together, even after all this!"


    Zeke sighed, pulling Alex''s hands off him. "Tell her about those tiny shes you remember. I''m certain hearing those would be enough to make her happy. And that is a good sign, Alex, that you might be able to remember more soon."


    Those words made Alex''s face look a little better and he closed his eyes, stepped back until he hit the wall and let himself slide down on the floor. His elbow rested on his folded knee as his fingers ran through his hair.


    "Tell me… I want to know what happened. Don''t leave anything out," he ordered and Zeke could only give in.


    "Abigail is the girl in prophecy, Alex. The woman who would be born with the power to end your life. Somehow, fate drew you together and you started a thirty day contract with her. During that time, you started to fall in love with her and she with you. She was dying from a tumor in her brain and you asked me to save her, so I did. But before that, Xavier kidnapped her and used her to ckmail you into making her stab you. You let her stab you in order to save her life." Zeke exined, as straightforward as ever, causing Alex to look up at him with lips parted in shock. "After that night that you were stabbed, your body began to change. You didn''t die but you lost your memories of her and as I deduced before, it seems you are slowly dying. You''re even beginning to feel the hunger you never experienced since you became immortal. This is one solid proof that you are losing your immortality. You are a half-blooded vampire but ever since that night, there was almost no sign of the traits that made you different from us. You used to be able to eat vegetables before but since that night, you became exactly like us, who could only eat meat."


    "Are you saying that I''m no longer a half-blood?"


    "I am still unsure but my theory is that perhaps what died or is dying right now is the human part of yourself. That''s why you''re now craving blood, like us. I believe your vampire blood has now fully taken over as self-preservation. It is trying to keep you alive."


    A throaty chuckle escaped from Alex''s lips. "That''s someplicated sh*t, Zeke." Alex shook his head.


    "Not really. The only thingplicated are the things happening in your body. Alicia has already exined that you are still alive now because of a spell. And that spell is running out. Abigail knows this, too. That''s why she''s desperate to bring your memories back. The witch queen said that bringing your memories back is the key to save you, though that might be close to impossible," he exined. "But we might get some answers soon. Alicia has found some ces where we think the witch queen might be held in. She said that the queen knew one person who managed to bring his memories back. If we find her, we can get more information on how to bring your memories back."


    Alex threw his head back as he let out a sigh as he stared up at the sky, a small smile ying on his lips.


    "So in the end, I, of all creatures, ended up actually desperately trying to stay alive, huh…" Alex shook his head in disbelief. "This is funny," he added as his smile faded.


    Zeke nced down at him. "Indeed. Just because of one woman, you epted death just to crawl back out and search for life again."


    Alex also looked at him but this time, a yful smirk yed on his lips. "I epted death, huh… I''m not really sure about that Zeke. Because I''ve never felt so alive like I feel right now. Before she came, I didn''t even know what the difference between life and death was. It felt the same to me. I felt like I was dead for thousands of years. But now I understand what it feels like to really be alive. I only started living when she came into my life because that''s when my heart finally started to beat again."


    A short silence followed his words before Zeke murmured to himself.


    "That''s good then. If I''d known you felt like you were dead all this time, I would''ve buried you for all those years and kept you underground."


    "Toote for you to think about that, Zeke," he smirked and Zeke finally moved to leave.


    "We will leave the country tomorrow. Of all the ces Alicia detected, I am certain that queen is being captive in that ce."


    "Where?"


    "Frost town."
