"Hello?" I heard a distant voice speak. 

"Hello? Are you going to wake up?"

I groaned, opening my eyes, finding myself roll onto the floor. 

"WHAT?! WHERE AM I?" Fear and pain ran throughout my body.

"You're finally awake! I found you passed out in the woods." 

"Who---who are you?" I tried getting up, but the pain shooting through my head stopped me.

"Don't force yourself to get up, let me help."

 He guided me to the couch, asking me questions along the way. 

"My name is Allen, what's yours?" He asked, searching my face for answers. 

I opened my mouth to respond, but couldn't come up with the answer. I shrugged instead.

"I don't remember...but it started with a C, I think," I choked out.

"I guess we're going to have to find out. Let's play a game! I'll say a name, and you tell me if it's yours." Allen smiled at me.

"Sure, I guess, go ahead." Allen began listing off different names, each one starting with a C. Some seemed familiar while others didn't. I shook my head at all of them, none of the ones listed seemed to have a connection to me.

"Clementine, Clarke, Christina, any of them ring a bell?" He cocked his head, raising an eyebrow. 

"No..." I sighed, holding my head in pain.

"Here, I'll go get you some meds and a drink." Allen got up and did as he said. I sat and stared at the window, thinking about what happened before I passed out. Mom, Dad? What happened to them?
I looked off in the direction Allen went, still unsure of what was happening I looked around the room. There were little to no decorations, a picture frame on the opposite wall. The smell of pine and wood filled the air. Murmurs and voices echoed outside. I leaned back against the couch, I closed my eyes, trying to remember everything.
Cl...cla..Claire! 

"My name is.. Claire I think.." I whispered. The door creaked open, Allen appeared, a glass of water in hand. Behind him a man followed

"Hi, my name is Seth. You don't remember your name?? Seth peeked from behind Allen. 

"My.. My name is Claire I think.." I looked down.

"Oh, so you finally remembered your name? That's good." Allen smiled at me handing me the glass of water. I nodded in thanks, before sipping it.

"So, Claire, what exactly were you doing in this forest? It's dangerous out here," Seth inquired.

"I was...running?"

Seth's eyebrows raised, "You don't sound too sure. Running from what?"

"I..." When I tried to remember a pain in my head shot through again, putting my hands on my head.

"Seth, it looks like she has a bit of amnesia. Don't pressure her to remember stuff, it seems it's causing her pain. 

"Yeah okay, I'm sorry Claire." Seth narrowed his eyes at me in suspicion. Allen stepped forward towards Seth. 

"We should give Sam an update of what's going on."

Seth nodded in agreement, "I'll go. You stay here."

I watched Seth leave while I sipped some more of my water.
