I woke the next morning in the same bed I had awoken in the day before, I went down for breakfast and saw that H was the only one there
"Good morning" I greeted H
"Oh hello, how did you sleep?"
"Good, what are you cooking?" It smelt amazing
"Spanish omelets all around, apparently I'm a very good cook" he smiled
"Wait you remembered something about yourself?" this was a breakthrough if he could remember this maybe he could remember something else, all of us could
"I didn't exactly remember, per say" well my smile faded "I just took some eggs, broke them into the bowl and then my body just took over" he shrugged "I felt like I had done this many times, so many times that my body knew exactly what to do" he went back to cooking. "Oh hey could you make coffee?"
"I will, but I don't like coffee" I stopped walking towards the cupboard where the coffee was I turned to face H
"What, did you say?"
"I think I remembered I don't like coffee" H and I smiled then we started to laugh, we jumping up and down laughing when S and A walked in
"What are you two doing?" S raised her voice above ours, and we explained to her what had happened.
As we ate breakfast later, we discussed what we thought was happening
"The drug we have been injected with is wearing off" A guessed,
"Or maybe we're supposed to remember" S hoped
"Or maybe it was just a happy coincidence" H wasn't happy anymore he genuinely believed our captures had made a mistake and he was worried they would come to rectify that, and we wouldn't even remember, he was convinced that we had been here for more than two days and that everytime we got close to remembering something 'they' came in the night, injected us again, to make us forget, then we woke up in the morning with no memory at all, and thinking we'd just got here, I hoped S was right, that we were supposed to remember, but all the same the air was gloomy all day all of us silently dreaded going to sleep that night, I stayed in my room all day reading, I discovered I loved horror, I didn't share this with the others, worried about what H might say, as much as wanted to believe S, I believed H more.
there was a knock on my door,
"Z? we're having drinks downstairs, come join us?" it was S
"Coming, give me a sec" S said nothing but I heard her walking away, I put a marker on the page I was on, and then I left.
there was an alcohol party going on whisky bourbon, vodka,
"Hey Z come join us" H slurred,
"No thankyou" I announced
"What? Why? Don't tell me, you remembered you don't drink?" A enquired
"No that's not it, I just don't want to get drunk"
"Who cares, we'll forget everything by tomorrow anyway" A was adamant, I took the glass of bourbon and drank it quickly "Yay, that's better, salut" A held his glass up in cheers fashion, I tapped his glass with mine and also said salut, the rest did it too.
We went to bed that night thinking we would forget everything.
