Subconscious

Chapter 3: Who Am I?

My head was banged against a rock like they said they would do. I hadn't realised my legs were tied in front of me until the rope caught fire and I could stand up again, after moments of staggering back and forth. I backed away from the flames at first, then something seemed to pull me towards them. I took slow step after slow step, but I didn’t get far before I was wrenched back by an anonymous person. I blacked out again. 

  

Pain. That was the first thing that came into my mind when I drifted out of unconsciousness. Pain soaring in my head. I was going to give myself a pep talk to get out of bed, when I realised, how did I know what a bed was? How did I know this language? What is my name?  As my eyes adjusted to the darkness, something relaxing was injected into me through my arm and my head felt better.

I am reading my transcript of the words spoken on the hologram and they make no sense at all. Nevertheless, I know they're related to the lump which relates to the accident. Just a feeling. But I know it's  true. 

I woke up again. All I could remember was the pain in my head and my enquiry about my knowingness of things. Now there was only a dull pain in it's place. Somehow, I wasn't able to move and I knew I was in a situation like this before so I resisted. After a few lame tries, the same thing must have been injected into me as a sense of relaxation entered my body again. My sleep was dreamless.

(screen comes to life) (takes deep breath) I don’t have much time just listen to me he's coming and you can't trust him, really, it's seriously dangerous. Oh; it's coming into effect so I can't explain, just (takes another breath). Talk to me through it, I designed it to help you and you simply can't be with him. I loved you like a dear sister since I saved you and it's all for you.( crackling, breaking glass, gunshots) Got to go. Hope we meet again.(stern face) Talk to me.(screen blank). 

The third time I woke up, I knew they would put me to sleep again - whoever they are- if I wasn't wiser, so I pretended I was still asleep. Gradually, I gained full power on my senses and strength so I would be able to fight the bitch that would try to inject that - that drug into me again! I dared not open my eyes in case they were there and I had a certain time between waking up and falling asleep. So I waited. 

I didn't know they were in the room - or wherever they were keeping me. Stealthily, they crouched beside me and injected it through me again. As I was losing my consciousness, I heard a masculine voice: "Nice try sweetheart. Just like the old you to be smart eh?" Fluttering my eyes open before they closed again, I caught sight of an intimidating figure who knew about my past.
