Look after you

6.The Past

6 months ago:

I woke up in an unknown place with my head pounding as if I had been hit on it.
I don't recognise the place. I know I have never been here. I don't know where I am or how I ended up here.
It's dark. Too dark. I can't see.
I can't see anything.
I can't think.
I can't breathe.
I want to scream in agony but I can't.
I can't do anything.
I'm Frozen.
It hurts. My head. My body. Everything hurts.
I don't know what to do.
I don't know my name. I don't know who I am.
I don't remember anything.
I try to remember. I strain upon my mind but the more I try to think the more it hurts.
I clutch my head with both my hands, digging the heel of my palms onto my forehead trying to dim the pain. It doesn't work.
I start to Black out.
I collapse once.

When I finally wake up it's still dark. I don't know how long it's been. I don't have anything to tell the time with.
My head is still pounding. I try to see. See anything I can.
I can't for some time but I still try to walk.
I try to stand on my legs but they are wobbly, unstable.
I fall down. It hurts. I'm probably bleeding because I felt something dig into my leg.
I'm thirsty. I need water. I can't see anywhere I can get water from.
I don't understand how I remember all these things but not my name or how I got here, wherever this is.
I hear some voices I want to go to them ask for help but I can't stand anymore.
I try to speak but my voice is too hoarse .
No one heard me.
I tried again but still no response.

After a few more tries I stand up slowly, carefully. I take small steps to nowhere in particular. I don't know where I'm going but I keep on walking. Eventually I see light. Small, flickering light. I follow it. There's water here, lots of water but it's not drinkable, I think?
It looks like a sea or an ocean, I don't know.
Im confused. This place is filled with huge boxes..... No not boxes, containers. Huge containers.
There is a small house here. The doors are open. I need water. I need to know where I am. So against my better judgement I walk towards the house. I look in through the window there's no one inside but there's something that looks like food and there's water. I need both.
I tip toe inside trying not to make any sound.
I see the bottle and gulp it down. I hadn't realised how hungry i was until now.
I start to eat not much to create suspicion but enough to fill my need for now.
I look around trying to figure out where I am.
I hear someone outside.
I get scared.
I try to hide but they are fast. They hold my hand and say something to their friend. I couldn't hear what ,blood is running thorough my ears so loud I can't hear anything.
Suddenly everything around us starts to shake. Slow at first, violently later.
I'm scared. I don't know what to do. Where to go. I don't have anyone. I don't remember anything.
Windows shatter. Things topple over themselves. Shelves fall down.
The house owner and his friends have already left. The house seems to be falling down on itself. I can't stop it. I try to but I can't.
So i run.
I run as fast as I can but the tremors follow me. I don't know why.
It wasn't until I left the docks that I realised I was causing the tremors.
And I couldn't stop them. I tried hard but the earth kept shaking.
I trip over my leg while running and fell down and suddenly everything stops. The tremors, the earthquake, the intense feeling inside of me shaking me to the core, everything.
I just lie there on the street for a while to tired to move.
Some time later i hear another voice. This one's different not as scary as before. I look from where I have been lying I see a boy about my age, I think?
Maybe,I don't know my age but his voice sounds young enough.

I'm scared but I can't run or steal anymore so I go towards him. I try to talk to him.
Last thing I remember are two bright blue eyes staring at me with fear in them and then I black out ,again.
