Potential Anatomy

chapter 12

(Alannah POV)

"Oh You're up. " He smiles. "My name is Doctor Clyde. Do you know where you are?" He asks as I stare at him. Slowly I shake my head. He frowns deeply and pulls out a flash light shining it in my eyes as I blink.
"Do you remember you're name?" He asks a little more persistent. "No..." I murmur softly. My throat hurts as I cough. He frowns and turns writing something in his notepad.
"You don't remember anything?" He asks as he glances up from his notepad. His glasses resting on his nose.
He reaches over grabbing a cup and filling it with water then handing it to me as I take a sip.
"I remember being in a cave and freezing. The cave collapsed and then a hand reached in from a hole and helped me. Anything prior to that. I do not remember. " I murmur softly as he squeezes his nose. The door behind him opens as a man walks in and gasps. "Alannah..." The man's voice is soft but hard as he walks over.
"Mr.Hast we should talk..." The doctor starts but before he can finish the man is hugging me.
"Oh Alannah I thought I lost you."  He pulls away and looks at me smiling as I stare at him confused. Who is this man. He frowns and looks at the doctor.
"She doesn't remember anything..."
----------------------------------------------------------

"What do you mean she doesn't remember anything!?" The man the doctor called Mr.Hast snaps making me jump. He has a cold and hard stare. "She woke up not remember anything except for her being in a cave." The doctor murmurs clearly unaffected by the man's glare as Mr.Hast looks back at me. The glare slowly melting as I look at him.
"We told you this could be a possibility. It good be short term Amnesia it could also be long term. You'll have to give her time to recover. " The doctor talks as I look at him.
"So..." I start as both of them look down at me. "My name's Alannah?" I ask as I look at Mr.Hast. "and youre..."
I ask waiting as he sits in the chair beside my bed. "Theodore Hast. But you call me Theo Or Mr.Hast.." he murmurs as I look at the doctor.
He sighs deeply and looks at Mr.Hast, or Theo. "I think it's best you leave until she recov-"
"No!" I gasp looking at Theo. "Don't leave me..." I murmur reaching for him as I wince my arm throbbing as he quickly sits up grabbing my hand. "Alannah I'm not going anywhere." He lifts my hand kissing it softly and like that the throbbing stops and I hold his hand tightly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Theodore! Help me! Please!" I scream as his hand shoots through the hole. "Alannah! I'm here!" He yells and I cry.

I jump awake gasping as Theodore looks up over his paper. Tears falling down my face. He puts the paper down and reaches forward concern etched on his face. "Hey hey Shhh it's okay youre safe." He leans up kissing my forehead and wiping tears away as I quickly reach up wrapping my arms around him.
"Lay with me." I whimper as he sighs softly.
"You have a IV Alannah. and your leg is up." He murmurs but I hold him tighter. He sighs in defeat and I scoot over as he climbs in next to me kicking his shoes off. I lay my head on his chest and he wraps his arms around me. We're like a big burrito. I giggle softly
"what's so funny?"
"We are a human burrito." I murmur as he smiles kissing my head. Slowly the giggle subsides and I sigh.
"You saved me from the cave. I remember calling for you. " I whisper as he reaches down cupping my chin and lifting it so he can look at me. "That's more then you remembered earlier." He says with a smile. I shrug and pull my face away. What was I like before I lost my memory? Why was I in the cave?
"Why was I in the cave?" I ask as he tenses up.
"Well..." He starts and tightens his grip on me. "You were upset with me because I'm a spoiled rich brat. I wasn't being the nicest person to you..." Spoiled and rich. Hm. I shake my head and lay my head down again. "I guess you ran into the cave and the entrance collapsed." He shudders as I sigh closing my eyes.
I want to remember more. I want to know who I am. What I do. Slowly I drift to sleep. Slowly dreams come.
