Angel Of Serpents

Chapter 15

It was late in the evening when Autumn decided to leave her room after taking a shower and changing into some new clothes. Today was quite interesting, when Autumn had asked Celine for help she hadn't expected the other lady to actively involve herself in helping Autumn regain her memories. Training in the ring today was ecstasy, Autumn imagined it was how people that had been stranded in the desert felt after they got their first sip of water.

It was the best feeling in the world.

Celine was right, Autumn's body was quite familiar with certain skills that they had which required years of training and practice, and that made Autumn wonder what type of life she lived before losing her memory. Her body seemed to know exactly who she was and what she needed to do but her mind was blank, in order to fill in the empty spaces Autumn needed to get her mind and body to work together.

It wasn't much but Autumn couldn't get the voice of the person she had remembered out of her mind for the whole day and she wondered who that person could be and what type of relationship they had? One day of training and partaking in something familiar had sparked her memory, even if it was just for a few seconds, if she kept this up Autumn would be able to regain her memory in no time.

Counting her steps in her mind and feeling for her environment Autumn safely got down the stairs. After their training, Celine and Esther had taken her around a few specific places in the living room in case she got bored of staying in her room. Now in an attempt to test her memory Autumn tried to remember exactly where Esther had taken her and a huge grin broke out on her face when she made it there successfully.

Feeling for the throw pillows that were situated next to the window Autumn took a seat and leaned her back against the wall as she folded her legs under her. Autumn imagined that it was probably dark out now and that the sky was filled with millions of stars as she gazed blindly out the window wishing that she could see it, even if it was just for a second.

"Here." A voice said sometime later as Autumn blinked her eyes opened and she realized that she had dozed off for a few moments. Warm hands clung onto hers and she felt her fingers being wrapped around something cold.

"Huh?" Autumn said in confusion as she looked.

"OJ." The voice said in explanation and Autumn realized that it was Jungkook. Taking a seat on the opposite side so he was facing her Jungkook put his leg up as well putting one over the other.

"Thank you." Autumn said quietly before taking a huge gulp of the freshly squeezed juice. Sighing in satisfaction Autumn lay her head back once more and remained in silence.

"Are you okay?" Jungkook asked after a moment gazing at her silently as he took in her condition.

"I'm not sure." Autumn answered honestly knowing exactly what he was asking. "For the first time I feel something other than fear, it's exhilarating. Somehow doing makes sense and I know I can get my memory back but....I'm scared." Autumn admitted drawing circles on the surface of the cup with her thumb.

"Of what?" Jungkook asked but he didn't get an answer, in fact, Autumn remained quiet for so long that Jungkook was sure that she wasn't going to say another word again until she spoke up.

"You're mafia, aren't you?" Autumn asked quietly as she looked up and Jungkook locked eyes with her. The question was quite random but also expected and Jungkook didn't have it in him to lie to her.

"Hmm." He answered confirming her suspicion.

"I'm scared of finding out about the things I've done and also about the things that were done to me." Autumn finally answered turning her head so she was looking out the window again. "What's it like?" She asked again.
