Chapter 3 - James Theodore

The strange-looking man, who had no idea who he was or how he got there, stood there perplexed after asking them, "who am....what is my name, and why am I here, who are you?"

He dashed out into the street, and there was a sudden impact. He had been hit by a car.

The man opened his eyes and found himself at a hospital, lying in one of the beds. When he recovered consciousness, he instantly got up and began shouting, "Where am I, who are you people?"

Doctors and nurses raced in and restrained him, with one nurse telling him, "Trust us, just stay calm."

He remained quiet after hearing those words from one of the nurses, and everyone else went save the nurse who told him to stay cool.

The man, who had no idea who he was, then asked her, "What is your name?"

"My name is Isabella Patrick," she said, her skin was fair and she was a beautiful woman, but the odd man never noticed her attractiveness.

"Please do you know my name," he said as he felt various portions of his body and couldn't feel the pen that said LOVE, HAPPY BIRTHDAY. That was the one thing he had in touch with his past. He then asked her angrily, "Did you guys take my pen?"

Unbeknownst to him, his eyes had become red, like if something was about to spill forth.

"Don't worry, it's in good hands with us; we'll return it to you as soon as we learn you're safe." According to the woman.

"From what, exactly?"

"It's complicated, but please know that you are safe with us." The nurse spoke out.

He then relaxed a little and was at rest. His eyes had returned to normal. The nurse was no longer surprised because she had just witnessed a man who had been hit by a car, broken multiple bones, and lost so much blood regain consciousness and heal in an instant.

What perplexed her was why he was in this state.

She then exited the room, and as the man glanced about, it was as if he had a glimpse of something he couldn't describe. He saw himself wearing a single white shirt that covered practically every part of his body, chained by two men in black holding what appeared to be a spear. Only this spear had a red crystal on top of it that generated light.

The sound of someone conversing could be heard gradually, but he couldn't see them.

'Where is this voice coming from?' he wondered.

A soldier was having a conversation with one of the nurses.

"We are ready to transport him, and the government will send the funds to you as soon as he lands at our secure base." "So, where is he so that we can capture him?" The soldier informed the lady.

They were far away, but the strange man could hear it clearly and knew he had to act; in this state, he trusted no one and could not even trust himself. Those comments sounded like they were trying to sell him, and he wasn't interested.

He immediately rose up and tried to flee, looking to his left and right, but there was only one route out, which was the way he entered the place.

He peeked out the windows, but discovered that he was at a height from which he may fracture his bones or hurt himself if he jumped.

He then waited for the men (soldiers) to enter. He stopped and gazed at them. Then, Nurse Isabella Patrick appeared.

"Put your hands up so we know you won't do anything funny. You will face consequences if you don't comply. Understood?" one of the men stated.

He eventually gave in and was shackled, but as they escorted him out of the hospital, something in his head ordered him to run, and he rushed out.

The soldiers' powerful grip couldn't keep him back, so one of them shot something into the man's leg, paralysing him, and then the man slumped to the ground.

The soldiers approached him, and as soon as one of them touched his skin, that soldier degraded into ashes, the other troops were stunned, and the weird man awoke. But now he was levitating, which shocked the others, and he flew into the air, and something blue came out of his body while flying.

As the man sailed into the clouds, they all glanced at him. The man regained consciousness and began walking towards a place, calling out a name, "Layla, I am coming for you."

'But who is Layla,' he thought. He fell into someone else's farm the moment that notion occurred to him. A farmer who was planting corn noticed him and approached. The odd man was now nude, no longer wearing his hospital garments, which had burned away as soon as those blue-like energy emerged from his body.

The farmer struck him with a stick, which instantly deteriorated.

The thought of Layla has left his head and he had just forgotten all the memory he could just remembered it was as if when he asked himself that question 'who is Layla' he immediately forgotten everything once again and could not control his flight and fell to the man's farm.

he then woke up and saw a man looking at him confused: "Who are you?" the farmer asked him.

Randomly, some strange name came into his head. He mentioned it to the man to save himself from the embarrassment of not knowing who he was. "my name is James Theodore".

The soldiers left behind were still confused about what had just happened. One of them said to the others, "We need to inform the general immediately."
