Prompt: Xephnable - Waking Up With Amnesia

TW: Blood Mention, Cannibalistic Thoughts, Takes Place in Yoglabs - Hypercubed (Spoilers!)

*Smash* The sound of glass breaking brings me out of the darkness. I slowly blink and look around, startled to find Simon standing a few feet away, the Dwarf staring at me with mild curiosity.

"Oh, hello Honeydew," I look around the room I'm in, no memory of how I got here. We are standing on glass, myself in a very small glass room. Above and below us are what looks like water, the walls black. "Where are we? What's going on?"

"You're in a reflecting pool," Simon tells me. "Can you hear Xephos?"

I frown, shaking my head. "No, why?"

Honeydew waves my question off, frowning at something that Xephos probably said. "Why was he locked up in the first place? Lalna's our friend, Xephos! We don't put friends in relfection pools hidden deep in Yoglabs!"

'Yoglabs...?' I think to myself, a faint memory of a large building full of Testificates coming to mind.

"Oh that's right," Honeydew mumbles. I look over at him, cocking an eyebrow. "I don't think he remembers, Xeph."

"Remember what?" Not knowing what Xephos is saying bothers me greatly. "What is he-"

"It's not important," Honeydew interjects. "You can ask all the questions you want later. Let's get out of here first, though."

I huff but agree, this room creeping me out. It's too symetrical and perfect. I start to wonder what will happen if we can't escape. 'Water won't be an issue,' I grin, looking at all the water below us. 'Food shouldn't be either,' I look at the short but stocky Dwarf. 'There's glass all over the floor, I could do it while he's asleep. Wouldn't feel a thing...'

"Lalna? Lalna! Oi!" I shake my head, looking back at the Dwarf.

"Sorry," I laugh.

Honeydew relays what Xephos says to me, a book in Honeydew's bag telling us what we'll need to get out of here.

The book says we need a compass and a clock, two things that are seemingly impossible until we find two chests, one above where I was and one below, in the water.

Honeydew jumps into the water and retrieves what's in that chest, while I go for the top one. "Oh, it's got a compass and a clock in it."

I take them out and watch them spin around crazily. 'What the hell..? Are they broken?' I look around. 'No way are we in Yoglabs.'

"Okay, great." I look down at Simon in the water. "Lewis says there should be a travel anchor around here somewhere? If we find it, we should be able to get out."

I nod and look around the room. "It must be in the water, because I don't see it up here."

"I'll look over here, you look over there, yea?" I nod and jump down into the water, mildly annoyed that everything up to my knees are soaked through.

In the water is a small white cube that teleports me when I stand on it.

Suddenly I'm in a room with purple cubes and a 'Spacial IO' sign. I step off the teleporter and slowly spin in a circle, Simon coming up behind me a moment later. "Where the hell are we?"

"I- woah!" Honeydew is pushed out of the way as Xephos appears on the white cube.

Xephos smiles when he sees Honeydew, offering him a hand up. "Sorry friend."

"S'alright," He takes the hand offered to him and pulls himself up.

Xephos turns and looks at me, his eyes going wide. "It's you," he whispers, taking a step towards me. I take a step back, throwing a confused look Honeydew's way. "The original you."
