I tried my hardest to sit up, but my head was drumming hard, I grimaced.
" Why does my head hurt?" I asked.
" Oh! You hit your head. And got an ... injury, how do you feel" she extended her hand and I flinched, she didn't force her way, she kept looking at me as I looked at my surroundings. I had a feeling these people were going to hurt me or say something about me that wasn't so good.
But when I looked at the fairly tall man at the door way, I felt something different. He was so cold looking compared to the tall guy beside this young lady. He had He had crimson red hair, I couldn't tell his eye color from the distance. He's shoulders were not as wide as this other guy and he wasn't as huge. He was dressed in a blue suit. He did not let me see more of him as he walked away almost immediately.
Another tall figure walked in, in a white robe, probably a doctor. The lady beside me rose to her feet and made way for the doctor.
After a series of checks and questions, he explains the two people about my condition probably while am too absorbed in the beauty of the room. That's when I saw the calendar hanging on the wall exposing a new page of 15th December 2017. I was a bit dumbfounded by that, for no apparent reason. I never really took note of anything that happened next in the room, except the doctors departure with the lady.
The big guy stayed behind to keep me company. He had the same black hair as the lady who just went out, trimmed soldier style,broad shoulders wrapped up in a baseball jacket. Sharp eyebrows and thin lips shaped in a permanent smirk that gave him a mischievous look. He smiled at me with arms crossed around his huge chest. Must be comfortable....
" Ahhh, am Alex by the way." He introduced himself. " She's Rhiona, my big sister" huh? Big sister, she looks like she's the last born of of a family of mine kids. " You were unconscious when we found the two of you, Rhiona was carrying you with all her wits" he laughed a bit. Canines a bit too long, devilish smile. I tear my gaze away.
" Where am I?" I asked with no emotion"
" Ah!, This is our home, Monan Villa, it is a kilometer away from Felicia City." He explained. Felicia City, why on Earth am I here?. " Rhiona says you saved her life on the train where the two of you were attacked. So she returned the favor. But then, turns out, just as the doctor said, you lost your memory after serious head injury. And you've been out for a week. Thought you'd never wake up..."
" Felicia City....train....head injury..." I shut my eyes as a sharp pain evaded. Alex stood up and got to me.
" Don't force yourself to remember, I think you should rest for a while.." he said and laid me down. So gentle....
It wasn't long before I drifted to sleep. And I had this evading dreams. I felt like they weren't new to me, but I had no clue.
I dreamt of the crimson haired guy I saw earlier, but the one in my dream was dressed in ancient robes and looked more of a peasant. He was smiling sweetly at me before his stomach bled. He had been pierced by a dagger and blood was everywhere. Even my hands were filled blood. When I looked at his face, blood oozing from his mouth, lying on my lap, and holding my hand. He was still smiling.
' young miss..... I love you, ....I always have...' he choked. ' I....I will wait for you, no matter how long, ....I know am not worthy....but I know your heart isn't cold...you must have at least the tiniest bit of feelings for me...'
There were a series of flashing pictures in my mind, someone calling me ' young miss, Irina' and then sounds of people cursing me....
....
.....
Who am I, who is Irina, and what about the redhead in my dream. What is happening to me.
