I wake up in a cold sweat not remembering the dream I just had. All I know is that it was terrible. I wipe my clammy hands on my sheets and wipe my forehead off. I look around my room when I realize that I'm not home.
And I'm not safe.
I frantically throw the sheets off and throw my legs out of bed. When I stand up the room starts spinning and I immediately collapse back onto the bed.
Just then I hear the door creak open and a woman walks in.
"What do you want from me?" I yell backing up against the backboard.
She seems shocked that I would act in such a way. She however doesn't respond and merely fixes her glasses and looks at me closer.
While I calm down I slowly come to realize who this woman is.
The woman I recognize.
I look at her closer as she looks at me with a silence so thick between us that you could cut it.
"Alicera?" She finally asks at last.
The fear suddenly over takes me again and I push myself up against the backboard again staring at her with blaming eyes.
"How do you know my name?" I ask trying to keep my voice from wavering.
"The real question is, why don't you know my name?" She asks taking a few steps so that she's closer.
"I've recently lost most of my memories," I say easily.
Why did I tell her that? Something about her makes me believe that I can trust her.
She nods her head thoughtfully.
"Do you want help getting them back?" She says after a few moments.
I snap my head up to look at her. She seems genuine a slight smile on her face. Does she really want to help me? Who even is she? Does she know who I am? A million thoughts fly through my mind at record speeds. But that recognition. Will she know me? Or will it be Trevor all over again?
"Yes," I say my mind barely processing what I'm saying.
Her smile broadens.

"Who are you anyway?" I ask as she leads me around her house.
"My names Devon," she says simply. "I'm your aunt."
I stop in my tracks and stare at her.
That's how I recognize her. I'm related to her.
A memory slips it's way into my mind.
*memory*
"Come on Alice lets go visit Auntie Devon!" My dad says as we walk up to the cozy little house.
"Will I like auntie Devon?" My younger self asks clutching onto my dads hand tighter.
He laughs and picks me up.
"Trust me Auntie Devon is simply wonderful."
He knocks on the door and we enter.
My younger eyes soak up the new sights. It was a beautiful home.
Suddenly a woman with long black hair came running around the corner. When she saw my father she smiled warmly and ran up to hug him.
"Big brother!" She says engulfing him in a hug.
He set me down and hugs her tighter.
"And you must be," she bends down to be at my height. "Alicera."
