and he had a tear drop on his cheek. I sat up and looked down at him, “I’m sorry. I guess I could’ve been a little more considerate about the way I said that. It’s just frustrating not to be able to remember getting married or ever being in love with you. Or having a child.” He nodded, “I know. It’s frustrating for you. For me too. Not as much as it has to be for you but still. And it’s okay. You don’t need to apologize.”

I asked, “So . . . When are we going to eat?” He got up and took my hand. He stood me up, “Right now. Follow me into the forest.” I nodded and he ran off. He was as fast as the wind. How was I supposed to keep up with him? He stopped when he got to the forest and looked back at me, “Are you coming?” I heard him from all the way over here. It was like he was standing right next to me. And I could see him. I sighed and started running over to him. I was next to him in a flash.

Keith smiled and twitched his head toward the forest, “Come on. Lets go hunt some deer.” We both ran into the forest. There was a pack of deer that were running from us. Keith leaped at one and bit its neck. I sighed and did the same. I wrestled with the deer and its kicking did nothing to me. I bit down and it moved even more. But then it stopped. The blood washed away the burning. Well for now. I suppose it would come back later. Once my deer was empty I dropped it and wiped my mouth. I sighed and stood up. Keith was watching me standing beside his dead deer. I looked down at my clothes and seen that my shirt was shredded. I groaned and looked up at him. He was perfect. I asked, “How come your shirts not all torn?” He smiled, “Your new at this. By the third time you’ll be perfect.” I nodded and headed back with him.

I ran right upstairs and stopped in the hallway, “Which room’s supposed to be mine?” He pointed to a room, “That one. But we live in another house so I’ll get you another shirt from Diana’s clothes. She won’t mind.” I nodded and went in there. I sat on the side of the bed.

Keith came in with a red shirt and handed it to me. I took it and looked up at him. At first he just stood there. But then he sighed and turned around, “Sorry. I won’t look. I promise.” I took the shredded shirt off and put the shirt he gave me on.

“You can turn around now.” I said. He turned and sat on the bed next to me. I felt awkward. He touched my face, “I’ve missed you. I know you don’t remember me but . . . I have to tell you that.” I sighed, “Keith. You seem like a really nice guy. But . . .” He sighed and kissed my cheek, “Sorry. I’ll behave. This is hard. I love you and I keep forgetting that I can’t do that anymore.” I nodded, “I know. I mean, I understand. I would feel the same way if the situation were reversed. And it’s really hard not being able to remember anything.” He nodded and stood, “Yeah. I’m going to go get Ella something to eat.” Then he left.

I sighed and looked around the room. I took the necklace that I just realized I had on since I looked in the mirror off. It was a thin silver chain that had the letter ‘K’ on it. I touched it and I . . . had a flash back or something. Keith and I were in the same room. This room. Smiling. He put the necklace on me saying something about this telling the other guys that I wasn’t available. That I was only available to him.

Then I opened my eyes and I was back in the room. I gasped and looked at the necklace. I smiled. I didn’t remember everything but I remembered something. I ran downstairs and didn’t see Keith. I asked, “Where’s Keith?” “Out in the kitchen with Ella.” Diana answered. I ran out to the kitchen. Keith was sitting at the table watching Ella drink from the seat across from him.

He looked up at me, “What are you smiling at?” I replied, “I had a flash back.” He smiled, “Really? What did you remember? What triggered it?” I answered, “I just touched the ‘K’ on this necklace and had a flashback of when you gave it to me.” I put it back on my neck, “Maybe if I see or touch pictures or whatever I’ll remember.” He nodded, “We have some pictures upstairs. I’ll show them to you.”


Ella asked, “Do you remember me now?” I turned to her and sighed shaking my head, “No. Sorry. I wish I did.” She got up and ran in the other room yelling over her shoulder, “I’m never going to get my mother back!” I looked at the door and I felt sorry for her. A tear ran down my cheek.

Keith walked past me and followed her. I sat down at the table and folded my arms across my chest. I need to remember. As soon as possible. That little girl needs her mother. I’m supposed to be her mother. But how can I be her mother if I don’t remember her?

After about fifteen minutes Keith came back in. He stood beside me and wiped the tears from my cheek, “Sorry.” I looked at him, “Sorry? There’s nothing to be sorry for. I wasn’t crying for me. I was crying for her. She needs her mother and I can’t give it to her. I can play the part of her mother but what good will that do?” He smiled slightly, “At least you have the motherly instincts. You’ll remember. She’ll get her mother back. I’ll get my wife back. All in good time. We just need to be patient.” I nodded, “Hope you’re right.” “I am.”


Chapter 21: Remember me

It’s been a week now and nothing’s changed. I haven’t remembered a single thing. No picture. No item. No one has been able to jog my memory. Everyone’s been getting me to try to remember. But not as hard as Keith. He was pressuring me to do so. Ella wouldn’t even come near me half the time. She wanted nothing to do with me until I got my memory back. I could see how much she was hurting not having a mother. She would always cuddle up with Keith or Hilary when Keith was helping me try to remember.

“Try to remember. Try to think back to when this was taken.” He said. I stared at the picture of Ella, Keith, and I as a family trying to remember what happened that day. But nothing happened. We’ve been at this for an hour. I shook my head, “I can’t.” “Try.”

I looked up at him, “You think I’m not trying? You think I just love sitting around here not knowing you or anyone here? That I get a kick out of seeing that little girl in pain because she doesn’t have her mother?” I threw the picture at the wall and the glass cracked. I turned and ran downstairs and outside.

I picked up a stone and chucked it across the lawn. It skidded and hit the car parked. It was like a bullet. “Damn it.” I keep forgetting how strong I am. I can’t do that anymore. “Lucky that’s our car.” Keith said from behind me. I walked up to the car and just looked into my reflection. Keith walked beside me. I sighed, “Sorry. I’m just a little frustrated.” He nodded, “I know. And it doesn’t help when I pressure you into remembering. Maybe that’s why you haven’t remembered anything. I’ve kept on pushing you and it just needs to come by itself.”

I saw a bite mark on my neck. It was like a black tattoo. I reached up and touched it. It was soft and cold. That’s when I closed my eyes and I knew I was having a flash back. I was laying on the ground soaked and my side was bleeding like a fountain. There was a guy. William. He stood me up. I was about to pass out or something and he stuck his fingers in my wound waking me up. I begged him to get it over with and he bit me.

“No!” I came out of it and hugged Keith. He wrapped his arms around me, “What happened?” I sighed, “I saw William. When he bit me. I was bleeding out of my side and I was soaked.” “Yeah. Before he pushed you over the cliff and you hit a rock on your way into the water. He brought you back up and revived you. Then he bit you.” He said. I just stood there in his arms. Too scared to move. Keith chuckled, “Are you okay?” I nodded, “Yeah. I’m fine. Just a little . . . Scared. But I remembered something.” “And I got to hold you.” He commented laughing a bit.

I smiled and pulled back sighing, “Hope you enjoyed it while it lasted.” We turned and headed for the house. Keith smiled, “I always do.” We sat on the couch and just watched TV. Well, he did. I just sat there staring at the floor with my arms folded across my stomach.


I closed my eyes and had another flash back. I was walking home when William came up and grabbed me. He grabbed my stomach and squeezed. Blood came out and my baby came out of me. He killed my baby!

When I opened my eyes I was back in the room gasping. They were all looking at me. David asked, “What did you see?” I shook my head and got up. I headed for the door but then Keith grabbed my wrists. Both my hands were planted on my stomach. He turned me around and asked, “What’s the matter? Why are you crying?” I didn’t even realize that I was crying. I shook my head, “I . . . I’ll be back.” I turned and went outside. He followed me.

“Hey. Talk to me. What did you see that’s making you upset?” I sighed, “I saw when William killed the baby.” He sighed and hugged me. I pulled back after a while and said, “I’m gonna go hunt. I’ll be back in a while.” He nodded, “Want me to come with you?” I shook my head, “No. I’ll call you if I need you.” I turned and ran into the forest. I got deep into the forest when I finally caught a deer. I drank it dry. I haven’t come across any humans since that one time so I haven’t had to practice my self control.

After I was done I wiped my mouth and started to just wander around in the forest. I didn’t know where I was going but I just wandered around. I stopped when I found a house. I frowned, “Why would there be a house all the way out here?” I went up to the house and looked in the window. I didn’t see anyone. It was dark but I could still see as if there were light in there. I saw a picture on the coffee table. It was a picture of Ella and Keith. I
