The Fallen (On Hiatus)

Chapter 16

I couldn't sleep the whole night. My head underneath my pillow trying to hide the embarrassment from my own self and my mind filled with the same memory repeating again and again.

My head was starting to hurt once more but I couldn't focus on it just yet. I was too busy panicking. But after an hour or so, it became once more insufferable. I took a sitting position on my bed and tried to calm my pain through breathing but it didn't even helped calm down my nerves.

"Who said that breathing exercises were relaxing?" I groaned and let the pain slowly drift away by itself. But of course, it only got worse.

The headache, reached a point where I could feel my whole head throbbing in pain and hardly be able to see my surroundings. My heart beating fast in anxiety and my whole body burning. A sudden thought crossed my mind and I glanced at my window. It was as if a strange feeling was telling me to go outside in the forest. My headache worsening once I glanced at the trees.

I got tiredly up from the bed and slowly made my way outside of the house. My body as if moving on its own accord, didn't hesitated to walk towards the forest.

"I've got a really bad feeling about this..."

I looked at my surroundings, careful of anything that could be considered dangerous. I stopped beside a tree and supported my body on it. The pain making me unable to walk properly.

"Why did I even came here... I must be really stupid..."

I bit my lip and took another look at my surroundings. I let go of the tree and turned around to head back towards my house, but what I saw in front of me, made my feet freeze on the ground. The few memories I had remembered, flashing before my very eyes. There, stood no other than the person I was trained to fight. The person who most likely caused me my amnesia... Alexander.

He was just like when I had seen him in my awakened memories. Short blonde hair and sea green eyes... Even the clothes were exactly the same. White and black striped T-shirt, black leather jacket, dark grey jeans and black combat boots.

I subconsciously took a few steps back and kept looking at him with terrified eyes. In return, he only walked a few steps forward. His expression ever so serious.

"Long time no see...Sarah."

His crispy voice cut through the wind like knife and made me once more paralyzed with fear.

"Alexander...," I muttered and I constantly cursed myself that I was afraid of the man in front of me. I was training for the sole reason of taking my revenge. But at that very moment, I was even unable to breath. The thickness in the atmosphere around us was terrifying.

"You... You remember me... I'm so happy that you remember me Sarah...," he voiced with a soft smile as he slowly began walking towards me and I clenched my fists, not daring to make a move. But somehow, I was still able to speak out my mind.

"Why...?"

"Hmm? What was that?" he questioned as he took another step forward and I gritted my teeth and yelled my lungs out.

"You are the one who did this to me! You are the one who caused me amnesia! So why?! Why did you did this to me?!" I finally yelled and spoke my thoughts with spite to the person of my misfortune.

In return, Alexander stopped on his trucks and placed a hand over his heart. His eyes giving me a harsh glare that looked deep inside my soul, "Oh Sarah... I did this to save you," he spoke in a matter of fact tone and my blood started to boil.

"To save me?! Don't make me laugh! Only good that didn't caused me!"

Alexander gave me a hurt expression and approached me even closer. His eyes narrowed and his smile fading away, "Oh how wrong you are..."
