Wings

Chapter 4

"Well, we will have to give you a name because missy will get old pretty fast." Hayden says more to himself than us. "What do you want to us to call you?"

My mind is blank. I don't even know any names. I remember how to do things like walk, talk but I have no personal memories. I shrug my shoulders.

"Well, we can call you Ginger?" Hayden laughs.

"Why is the earth would you call me Ginger?" I might not know a lot but Ginger seems a bit silly.

Isaac sighs and points to my hair. I look down myself for the first time since I've woke up.

Before I even know what is happening, tears start to stream down my face. Struggling to catch my breath, I start to wail. Making this horrible gurgling noise from the back of my throat and start to rock back and forth.

I don't even know what I look like.

"Okay, we won't call you Ginger!" Hayden shouts over my crying.

"Look what happens when you try to be funny." Isaac moves off the bed and sits in front of me. Putting his hand on my shoulder and whispers a calming voice. "Just breathe."

"What do I look like?" I shout in his face.

Realisation smacks Isaac on the face and he mouths the letter 'O'. He is speechless for the first time today letting me carry on with my crying.

Hayden jumps up out his seat like a rocket and shoots out the room without a word. What the hell is his problem, I'm the one that has forgot everything.

"Just try to breathe before you knock yourself out, love." The calm voice is back. I'm aware of his hand touching my shoulder and how close he is to me. When I look at his face, he gives me a smile that calms me.

My breathing starts to slow down back to normal but the tears won't stop. I know nothing about myself. These two strangers know more than I actually do.

Hayden runs back into the room with a large mirror in his hand.

Isaac gets up to return to his seat. "You won't be disappointed with what you see." He winks which sends butterflies into my stomach.

"Okay. Lets not hit on the crying girl now, brother." Hayden jokes and I feel my cheeks going red. Is this going to be a recurring thing with everything Isaac says. He just smirks with his sarcastic mouth.

"Are you ready?"' Hayden asks. No but I nod anyway.

He lifts up the mirror and a girl stares back at me. I touch my nose and the girl in the mirror moves to touch her button nose too. This can't be me. I look at her bright green eyes filled with tears. Her skin is pale, bruises all over her face or is it dirt?

"I look so sad." Is the first time that I think of to say. I look up at the brothers and they nod.

I stare back to the unfamiliar girl. I can see why Ginger would be appropriate name for me, my hair is like wild fire. It's more red than ginger and curls like flames all the way down to my back. Seems stupid that I didn't notice how long my hair was till I look in a mirror.

"Thank you Hayden." I look away from the mirror.

Seeing myself proves how much I've lost and will probably never get back.

"There are showers in here that work, its only cold water but still better than nothing if you want to wash up?" Hayden suggests.

I nod and he gets up to show me where they are.

Walking me down the hall, he talks but I'm not really listening. My mind is somewhere else completely.

Hayden hands me clothes around my size that he had found. "They aren't the nicest of clothes but they are clean." Grateful for this, I take them and say my thanks. .He leaves back the way he came.

Standing alone for the first time today, I throw off my clothes and see my injuries. There are cuts and bruises everywhere all the way up my legs.

I turn on the shower and the cold water hits me with impact. I don't mind it starts to numb me from my pain.

Its confusing to feel sad when you don't know what you have lost.
