"It is not the stars to hold our love together but our love." - William Shakespeare

~~~~~~~~~

Where am I ? A flick of light dashes upon me as my eyes suddenly opens, I looked around and was expecting my own room, not this. This is not what I expected at all or ever actually, I was lying on a stone hard bed with no comfort at all, there was no soft pillows or clean duvet covers just an cold hard blanket covering my body as suddenly a chill went through my spines. As if they seemed invisible before, there are few girls and women standing beside the bed, and they all shared something in common, they look nothing like people from this century. From the ways they are looking at me with those concern eyes indicates that they must know me but I don't?

Those people are strange, strangest I have ever seen. They are all wearing simple  full length dress down to the floor,baring no skins at all, no exposure unlike something you would see commonly in this society. 

I looked around the room that I am in,I had to observe it for more than just minutes time, I can't quiet put the pieces together of where exactly am I or why are those people like that. The room it self is extremely different from what modern rooms are like. Everything is made of wood, the room is fairly dark only with few candles lit up but I could see all the "vintage" furniture, it resemble some what of eighteenth or nineteen century. "Is this a museum?" I thought to my self.

A woman around the thirties saw that I had woke up and immediately rushed toward me, she reached out to brushed her soft hands on my cheeks and spoke up lightly. "Oh, Evangeline, my darling, we have grown worries for you for the past days, oh my dear , you are finally awake, god blesses." it was the same like the others, she spoke differently and dressed differently.

"Where am I, and who are you?" I stuttered , I was sort of afraid of the people surrounded byme.

The woman's  facial expression slowly dropped, changing from a smile faded to a frown, the frown showed up all her careless wrinkles. "Darling, do not play a sick heartless joke like this." she said with worries in her tone, she reached up and felt my forehead with the back of hand with a weird and shocked look on her face.

I flinched to her touch and backed away from her a bit, my body was all sore and tired but I felt the need to sit up and scooteched to the very corner of the small bed just to get away from those people. They are certainly frightening me.

"What are you talking about? I do not know who you are, ok lady, what kind of a hospital is this, ancient? Is this some kind of sick joke? Where are the hidden cameras? My scream just burst out of no where, I was confused and scared of course. I always felt the need to let out my anger, I am the girl who couldn't hold a budge.

"Nicholas, please come at look at this, I do not know what had happened to Evangeline!" she cried out for help to the room beside this one. With seconds later a tall muscular boy came in from the small wooden door and sat down on the small stool next to the bed.

The boy with the brown eyes started staring at me, I noticed those eyes contained emotions I could never understand; there was sorrow and happiness in between.  I could not help but stare at him back. He had a charming good look, he would be the classified 'Romeo' kind of boy for any lead movies. I didn't know how long we were staring at each other before he broke up the silence by speaking up. "Evangeline, do you recall memorizing me?"

"I do not know who Evangeline is, my name is Clary, it is not me for sure and I have no idea who you are , I ..I am sorry? my quiet  voice was loud enough to be heard by the guy sitting only inches away from me.I do not know why but tinglings motions of fear run through my body because of the guy. He shows some strange attention to me. Do we really know each other, this must be a mistake.
