The Cursed Lovers

Chapter 5

[Sakurako - 10 days later]

Crying and screaming was all that I kept hearing. Mostly it was a boy who would quietly talk to me. Asking me to wake up soon. I wanted to reply to him, but my body felt so heavy. I couldn't move, talk or open my eyes. There was a dull pain in my chest or leg.

Recently I've been feeling lighter. I feel really light now, I think I can open my eyes now.

My eyes adjusted to its bright surroundings. Machines beeped softly, many tubes are attached to me. I tried to shift, but I groaned in pain. My chest was in so much pain. I pressed my hand to it and saw there was a bandage tapped around it. What happened to me?

Now I think about it, what can I even remember? I was at the park and I met a teenager, Kai. There was so much pain and panic in his eyes. Why can't I remember anything else?

I looked around the hospital room no one with me. I'm alone... Alone... Ah! I gripped the sides of my head in pain. What was happening!? I'm scared, so scared. Oh god! There's blood everywhere! Why is there so much blood!? How did it get like this? The white I saw a moment ago was now dripping in a bloody red liquid.

I screamed and the door is slammed open. It's a nurse or so it should be. All I saw was a beast in human form. Fangs and blood red eyes. Her mouth and body was covered in blood. I screamed at the beast. "Stay away! Stay away from me you monster!"

More beasts in human forms came in and held me down. I felt something being jabbed into my arm causing me to stop thrashing out. I felt more relaxed and it scared me at how relaxed I became. My body wouldn't do as I wished. Everyone left the room calmly. Too calmly... Am I safe?

An hour passed and all I do was stare at the ceiling, almost drifting off into a slumber. Did they give me a drug? This could be the only explanation for why I felt so freakishly calm.

I remembered hearing voices talking to each other. They were talking about someone... They mentioned that the person went through such a traumatic event that she was now mentally unstable.

"Sakurako?" My name was called out. I turned my head to the door to see who was calling for me. I'm not scared this time, I no longer saw blood. It was my sister, mother and two boys. Trying to remember who their names were was a challenge. I felt guilty for not even remembering my sisters' name.

"Sakurako we were so worried, I'm glad you're awake now. Look who's here to visit you with your sister!" I turned to the boys. I stared at each of them with confusion. They had a concerned expression plastered on their faces.

"I-I d-don't remember you..." I managed to say what I wanted, but it only came out as a whisper. "You too" I looked at my sister briefly. "I don't r-remember your name" Everyone gasped at what I had said.

"Sakurako!" My sister cried. I stared at the ceiling and a few tears slid down my face.

One of the boys cried in the other's arms. "Sakurako, can you really not remember?" One of the boys ask and I shook my head. "Do you remember the name Jun?" Jun? It rings a bell, isn't that my sisters' name? I pointed at her with a shaking arm. She nodded as she realised what my action meant.

My mother spoke up this time holding onto my hand. "Sakurako, these two boys are Zero and Ichiru. Do remember them?" I looked at both of them, they were twins just like me and my sister.

I remembered that they were my friends. I was best friends with Zero and I think Jun was best friends with Ichiru. I pointed to one of the boys, doing a wild guess. I made a 0 shape with my hand and a 1 figure with my finger. My guess was correct. They nodded at me, smiling with tears glistening in their eyes.
