I wake up, drenched in sweat, even if it felt like minus 3 degrees. I am connected to tubes and needles of all sizes. I try to move my arm to call for help, but every movement sent a shooting pain to my arm.
What am I doing here? How did I end up here? Endless thoughts fill my head making me dizzy. I can't recall a single piece of information. The only thing I can think of is water because my lips are dry and parched. I tried to move my mouth but no words came out. They were just a bunch of broken and inaudible noises. I need water! I screamed in my head. Finally, someone noticed my movements and called the doctor. I was quenched my thirst and everything was coming back to me: I remember absolutely nothing. The room lacked even a streak of light. The darkness made me feel helpless and hysteric.
It was like a prime feeling deep inside my sub-concious mind, like a fear running down my blood for ever. It's like I could never get used to it. Or maybe it's my eyes and the sense of unfamiliarity and total memory loss.
'Where am I?' I asked. My sound beamed throughout the dark room, absorbing the sound with the light.
'You're at the healing center' a nurse answered my question. I was unable to see her, but her sweet voice had a calming effect on me.
'What do you remember?' A man's voice echoed at my ears, probably the doctor.
'Um…. I don't think I can remember anything.' I answered, realizing I don't even remember my own name.
'Hmmm… Do you know your name?' He asked again
'No, Not really.' I paused
'Well, that's ok. You should be happy because some have it even worse.' He chuckled as if there was any humor in it.
'Oh. Ok' I replied bluntly.
'Anyway, there are some things we have to tell you first.' He said apathetically.
'Firstly, you're dead.'
'WHAT??' I almost fell out of the bed. This couldn't happen to me! I didn't even get to say goodbye my family, whoever they are. Perhaps that's why I don't remember anything. Oh no!
'S... So, I'm in heaven?' I asked, panicking.
'Nope'
I panicked on hearing these words. The dead thing was already confusing and berve-wrecking, nbowe I have to go to hell?
'So I'm going to hell now? Oh please spare me! I'll do anything!' I begged . The nurse went on and turned on the lights. It took a few minutes for my eyes to adjust to the light. Then I saw their faces. They didnb't seem normal at all. IS this what people at hell supposed be like?
Before I could say anyth9ing, HE let out an annoying sigh. 'You know this is the problem with your species, always jumping to conclusions before-' The nirse\s glare stopped him on the track. He cleared his throat and looked at me with a serious expression.
I scoffed, is that supposed to scare me or what? But I didn't say anything.
The doctor looked at me with his golden brown eyes. I'll admit he was quite the charming type. He had hasbrown hair and well-built muscles. But that expression in his face tho.
'The purgatory?'
'Ok, just because you're dead doesn't mean you go to hell or heaven' he said annoyed.
'You're dead and you're in Ahava, the land of love' he finished
'Ahava?'
'That's right. You're a cupid' He said sharply.
Cupid? Ahava? This doesn't even make any sense. Is this some kind of prank?
'Cupid? I don't understand.'
'Look for yourself' He took a mirror and placed it in front of me.
He was right, I looked like a cupid. I had magenta-colored hair flowing all over me. My eyes were rosy pink with a hint of purple. My skin was fair, shiny, peach-colored masterpiece and I had wings. They were little, but fluffy like a bumblebee and soft and light as a feather.
'Wow, I look- '
'Fascinating, yeah I know. Now will you believe me?' He asked
'Yeah, ok. But who am I?' I was too carried away with the appearance I forgot the important information.
'The data says your name is Lilight. So that'll be your name from now on' he showed the pad to me.
I repeated the name with awe. This was a dream come true. But why can't I remember anything at all?
'You will remember nothing because you're starting a brand-new life with no memories of your past life because they are not needed anymore.'
'But wh- '
'Keep speaking about it and we will disintegrate you to specks of dust' he uttered sharply.
'Oh, but where am I going to live?' I asked worriedly. Were that going to kick me out? I can't die again can I?
'Oh don't worry we've already taken care of that for you' he opened the door and let in two strangers.
One of them walked slowly near me and sat next to my bed.
'Hello, you must be Lilight.' she smiled passionately.
