Hes lost in his mind

Chapter 36 : Memories

I ran down the hallway, searching for someone to ask. My memory's flashed before my eyes. The hospital room I'd been in passed by, the maid nodded to me and smiled, Jamie flashed past followed by Damien, the freaky maid, then I was outside, by the pool and I remembered S.Y.S.

The gardens smelled delicious, and as I walked through I realised I was HAPPY to be here, happy it all happened... happy for everything.

Suddenly there was a building in front of me, and it read 'memory's'. Hey, this would be interesting.

As I went inside, I was shocked by what I saw.

The first picture was a cute couple smiling. A little boy chased another one around their feet. A little girl stood with her tongue out at them.

Was that Damien and Jamie? Yes, it looked just like them. And the woman was the Queen. Was the man the king? I'd never met him. Was the girl a sister of theirs? And the Queen... was holding a baby in her hands.

I walked on. There were numerous pictures of Damien and Jamie growing up, and the girl who'd been making fun of them... but where was the baby? It had disappeared.

Suddenly I reached a door saying 'Catherine's memory's'. I went through. It was full of pictures of the girl, sometimes with her brothers or parents in it, sometimes her and other girls, her graduation day... I couldn't believe I'd never seen her around the castle.

Then I reached another door. 'Jamie's Memory's'. Ooh, this was going the be good.

There was a few pictures of him at school... but never with any friends. Did he HAVE any? That was sad... I felt sorry for him, AGAIN.

Suddenly, there was a girl in the picture. She was really pretty... and they looked happy. Jamie had a girlfriend? What happened to her? But then it showed. A series of his pictures... paintings. They were really good.

But they showed the whole ordeal. There was a man... he jumped through her window, and STABBED her.

And that was it. All the walls until the next door were blank. He didn't want anymore memory's... how much had that girl meant to him?

Then I was at the next door, 'Damien's memories'. I went in. I didn't want to worry for Jamie... what had he ever done to deserve my worry? Best take my mind off things.

The first picture in this hall was of him as a child. At school he'd been incredibly popular apparently... and also a popular kid. I hated the popular kid's, they had no respect.

Then there was him in some kind of hotel room with a girl. She looked really pretty... but worried. She wasn't in any others pictures, it was as if she didn't exist.

I went back to check the picture, just to be sure she was there, but she hadn't moved. This time there weren't any pictures to show what happened... but then there was a picture of Molly.

She was grinning her head off. The picture had a name on the bottom, 'Potential 1'. The next one was of Macy, and that read 'Potential 2'.

The next one was Cat, and read 'Potential 3'. It kept going, and every single one was smiling. Then there was me. Obviously I'd been passed out when they'd taken the pictures, because I had my eyes closed. 'Potential 6' read at the bottom.

I went on, but to my shock it was ME. It read 'Amelie' and every picture after that was of me. Who had been taking these pictures? Obviously a hidden private photographer.

The first one was us arguing. Then me playing tennis. It was an excellent picture, with the ball just leaving my racket.

The next one was me whispering my answer into Damien's ear for challenge two, and I laughed at how they'd made the picture look completely different.

Then there was us on the 'date', me sat eating on one side and Damien listening to whatever I was saying. The one after that was me swimming the pond. Then there was me... kissing him.

That was the last picture to be put up. I gasped. Why was there a whole section on me? Was that really how much Damien cared about me?

I'd have to keep coming back here to check up on these pictures.

For now, I had to continue my search. I had to try to forget about this for now. I had to deal with my real problems.

But was this the last I'd hear of this place? Why did Damien have such an obsession with me?

Why was I the only one up there? What about all the other potentials?

Why me?
