Heyyy!

Dear readers, I'm kinda BUSY with School so I hope you'll understand.

Don't worry because I won't abandon this story.

I will publish chapters later than expected because of my schoolworks.

Don't forget to drink water and eat foods (limit junk foods, eat more healthy foods 😉).

I suggest you to play songs while reading so you can feel the story more..

You can play "K." by Cigarettes After Sex while reading this. Thank You! 🫶🏻

Y/N's POV:

Doll?

Was that even a nickname?

"El. El? Eleven?" Shuri asks and I open my eyes

"Yeah?" I ask her

"It's okay, don't force yourself." She tells me and I smile weakly

"I actually remembered something." I tell her and her eyes widen at my statement

"What is it? Wait, you're saying you remembered something without experiencing a stinging pain in your head?" She asks

"Yeah- but I'm not sure if it really is a nickname." I tell her

"What was this nickname?" She asks

"Doll." I reply

"Do you know who gave you this nickname?" She asks

"I can't see his face in my vision but I heard his voice calling me doll." I reply and she and her brother high fived each other

"YES! IT'S WORKING!" They both cheer

"What's working?" I ask them in my disoriented state

"The unbrainwashing thing. It's working. You're progressing!" Shuri tells me and I feel awesome

"FANTASTIC! So you're saying I can remember everything soon?" I ask them

"Yes, there is one hundred percent chance that you will remember everything in less than two years." The king replies

"Awesome! Wait- less than two years!?" I state in shock

"He's messing with you. Restoring people's memories lasts for more or atleast six months." Shuri replies

"Thank God. You scared me to death." I mumble and they laugh

"How old are you?" The king asks

"25, why?" I tell him

"You remember your birthday?" He asks

"Nope." I reply

"Then how did you remember your age?" He asks

"Uh- that's because Strucker told me that my name is Eleven and he also said that I'm 25 years old after I woke up from his metal chair. Which I believe his brainwashing chair." I reply

"Let's call it a night." The king states

"Goodnight you two, I'll just go check on something." King T'Challa states and Shuri and I nod

"Any nightmares?" Shuri asks as we walk towards our bedrooms

"Nope, just a blank dark void in my head every night." I tell her and she smiles

"No flashbacks?" She asks

"None." I tell her and she nods
