Jaci's POV

"...She's waking up. Dad! Dad! She's waking up." I heard someone yelling, followed by footsteps. I tried very hard to open my eyes but, no use. As if my eyelids were glued to each other. With the strange touch and voices I can't recognize, I started panicking. "Hey hey hey, it's ok. Take it easy. You're fine. Relax. You're gonna hurt the baby." Baby? What baby? Like a miracle, my eyes flutter opened. I took my surrounding. It looks like a cottage.

"What is this place? How did I get here...And did you say, Baby? " I asked the middle age man and his daughter? I guess. They nodded together. "We found you and your...Husband or brother, I'm not sure, near the coast. We thought, you're dead but, due to some strange luck, you both are alive. What do you remember last?" asked the man. What do I remember? What do I remember.. The last thing I remember is My.. time with Aku. Wait. I don't remember anything after that. What happened?

"I..I can't remember.. anything." I clutched my hair in frustration. Where is Aku? "Where is the man, you found with me?" I asked them. "He's fine. Let me take you to him." the girl said. I nodded my head at that. They both helped me out of the bed and I slowly but with a lot of difficulty walked out of the room. "It's just the next room. Carefull with your steps." said the girl smiling at me. My heartbeat increased with the fear of finding the man on the other side of the door.

Who was found with me? Was it Aku? What happened to us? As soon as the door opened, my breath hitched. I don't know, either to be relieved that, it's no one other than my best friend or sad because, it's not Aku. Sam was sleeping peacefully, like an angel he was. I walked slowly towards him and sat on the bed, beside him. "Sam? Sam?" my voice was breaking. I was terrified right now. Not sure, how we end up in here. What about the Island, the tribe. Aku? So many questions but, nobody to answer them.

"Jaci? You awake?" he was week too but, looking better than me. "Yes." I wiped my tears before smiling at him. "What happened?" there goes all my questions unanswered, when both of us had the same expressions and confusion on our faces. Sam frawned, when we both spoke at the same time. "So you too.. Don't remember, what happened?" I asked puzzled. He shook his head in denial. "I think, we should go back and check on them. God knows, what happened back there, if we don't remember anything at all." he said, looking into my eyes.

"Wait, how is she going to travel like this? It's not safe. She might loose her baby. You are too weak to travel, Jaci."said the girl. Sam gave me a sad and apologetic smile. "Wait, how did you know, I'm pregnant. Isn't it supposed to be like 4 or 5 weeks, untill you can be sure?" I asked confused. "Yes, that is how far you are. 6 weeks pregnant." the air was knocked out of my chest. "W..What?" I stammered. "How long was I out?"

Nonononono. I have been far from Aku for more than a month now? How? Did he not come to find me. Is he ok? What about the others? "Sam was out for a day or so since we found you both but, you hit your head hard, and you were in a coma stage. We had lost all hope but, just like a miracle, you are finally awake." said the man. "I month. Sam, we have to get back. I'm having a bad feeling about all this. Lets go. I can handle myself just fine, trust me. I don't know what happened back then, but now that I'm awake and carrying Aku's child, we need to go back and find him."

Then I turned to the father and daughter. "Please help us. Something bad has happened at our home. I'm begging you, take us to our Island, Please?" my pleade was responded with a sigh. "If that is what you both want. We can start now then." he suggested. Sam and me, we both nodded our heads and followed them out of the door for our journey to solve the mystery of the forbidden Island.
