CHAPTER 2 : The weird memories!

Mareta was puzzled, she tried getting out of bed , her eyes were still painful. The nurse forced her back. "NOBODY GETS OUT OF THIS DOOR UNLESS HE IS FULLY RECOVERED!" she shouted pointing at the door. Mareta looked taken aback. Closing her eyes, she tried to remember what had caused her to doze off.

She had a memory where her eyes, as it seemed were opened to their widest point and fire swept throught them.

She gave an unvoluntary shake and opened her eyes.

It was all a dream Mareta, calm down, she thought. But if it was really a dream, why had the computer teacher looked at her as if she was some kind of beast?

She glanced at the spot on her right palm. She didn't exactly remember how she had it and whether it was there the day she was born.

She could just remember her memories till three years ago, whenever she had tried to remember anything from before she would just doze off.

However, the day her eyes had burned in the computer lab, memories of green liquid swept through her brain. She remembered herself, a small kid and some green jelly-like fluid.

"Ok, dear. Now stretch out your hand" the nurse was standing beside her smiling broadly. What was that thing she held in her hand? Mareta looked at the sharp ended needle and shivered.

"NO WAY!" She cried.

She tried running out of bed, but the nurse held her back looking tired.

"Stop being a baby now, its just a little needle. It will help you calm down. You do want to return to your home don't you?"She asked.

Mareta was wondering whether the nurse thought she was going to say "YES". That was not what Mareta had intended to do though, the idea of facing her parent's questions was not so good.

She resisted the temptation of saying"NO" to avoid the nurse's awkward questions. "Yes, i think i do." She said calmly. 

"Then be a good girl and stay put. I really don't understand why kids fear injections that much! Haven't you ever had a wound before?

It is just like that, maybe even less hurting! Ah see you already have that spot" she said as she lowered to touch Mareta's spot.

Once the nurse's hands touched the spot, Mareta felt her eyes burning vigorously. "GEROFF ME!" she screamed. The nurse ran back in alarm. 

As her pain receded, Mareta opened her eyes. She had just seen the liquid moving. The nurse was looking very frightened.

Mareta looked at her apologetically "I.. I am so sorry" She hid her hand behind her back and sank a needle in it, then showed it to the nurse. Blood was gushing out in floods. "I think you have dug it too deep" she said.

he nurse looked taken aback. "I am sure i" "You did" she said before the nurse could complete her sentence. " I am really sorry then dear! You can go home now. I think you have gotten a lot better" she said beaming.

Mareta grasped her chance and went through the door. 

She didn't understand what all this meant. What was that green fluid? She put a wary hand on her eyes and took a drive home.

She rang the bell.

When no body answered she tried opening the door's handle. It was already open. She quickly ran inside as she heard someone sobbing.

It sounded so much like her mother. As she entered her mother's room, she saw her crouched beside the bed, tears racing down her red puffy eyes. 

She waslooking fixedly at the immobilised figure that was lying in front of her. As Mareta looked at the figure, her stomach clenched horribly.
