Lost Memories #Wattys2016

Chapter 2

August 2nd

Vincent was in a dark void. He couldn't shake the feeling that someone was watching him. He could faintly see two glowing red lights in the distance. He tried to walk towards them, but he couldn't move. Eventually, the lights moved as a figure walked towards him. "Don't ever think that you could get your memories back. Because, you'll be dead before the end of August." The figure said. Vincent could swear that the voice sounded familiar. But, before he could speak, he woke up. He sat up from his bed, panting heavily. He was sweating.

Sara woke up and noticed Vincent, Sara sat up from the bed and looked at Vincent with a worried look on her face. "Vincent, are you alright?" Sara asked.

Vincent looked at Sara and nodded. "Yeah. I'm fine." He said.

"Are you sure? It looks like you had a nightmare." Sara said.

Vincent looked down at his hands. "Well... I dreamed that I was in this dark void and I couldn't shake the feeling that someone was watching me. I saw two faintly glowing red dots and I tried to move to get a closer look, but I couldn't. A familiar figure walked up to me and told me to not think I could get my memories back, because I'll be dead before the end of August. I have no idea what he meant, but I have a bad feeling that something bad's gonna happen to me." He said.

"We'll make sure nothing bad will happen to you, Vince. We got your back." Sara said.

Vincent smiled. "Thank you, Sara." He said.

Sara smiled back warmly. "You're welcome, Vincent." She said.

Vincent looked out the window where the full moon was shining.

Sara looked out the window as well. "The moon is beautiful tonight, huh?" She asked.

"Yeah. It sure is." Vincent said. Then, he heard Scott stir in his bed.

Sara noticed Scott stir on the bed.

Scott opened his eyes and noticed Vincent awake. "Oh, hey." He said, smiling. "Hey." Vincent said. "Is everything okay?" Scott asked.

"Vincent said that he had a nightmare, he said that he couldn't shake the feeling that he was being watched, he saw two red eyes and a figure walking closer to him. He told me that the figure said that he shouldn't get his memories back, 'cause he'll be dead before the end of August." Sara explained.

Scott was shocked at this news. "W-What did the figure look like?" Scott asked. "I-I don't know... But I think he had short, black hair and he was wearing a yellow top hat." Vincent said. Scott's eyes widened. "I-It couldn't be..." He thought.

Sara's eyes widened as well. "I-It couldn't be him.... Could it...?" She thought as well.

Vincent looked at them in confusion. "W-What's the matter?" he asked. Scott held Vincent's hand, a worried look on his face.

"U-Uhm..... I-It's just that..... I-I think we know who you're talking about, Vincent..." Sara said.

"Huh?" Vincent looked at Sara in confusion. "Sara... Since Vincent has amnesia, he might not know what we're talking about." Scott said.

"Yeah, you got a point..." Sara said.

"Um... I don't mean to be rude, but who is this person I'm talking about?" Vincent asked.

"Y-You'll figure it out soon..." Sara said. "I'm sorry if that sounded rude..." Sara said.

Vincent shook his head. "It's alright. I have a feeling that I do not want to know." He said.

Sara nodded.

"Alright. I think we should go to sleep. We have work tomorrow." Scott said, climbing back into his bed. "Alright. Good night, Scott." Vincent said. "Good night, Vince." Scott said, smiling. Vincent turned to Sara. "Good night, Sara." He said.
