Chapter 9

Arthur pulled into the beach’s parking lot after stopping by his house to gather his and Allistor’s things for the beach. Everyone got out of the car and started walking towards the beach, where Alfred was already waiting along with Matthew, Ivan, Yao, and a few others who had arrived early to get everything set up for the beach party.

“Hey, guys!” Alfred said as he started running up to them. “Glad you could come!” He looked from them to (Name). “And you brought that girl from earlier too. (Name), right?”

(Name) nodded. “And you’re Alfred?”

“Yep, the one and only!” Alfred said with a grin.

“Stop being ridiculous, Alfred,” Arthur said as he rolled his eyes. Is there anything else we’ll need for this party of yours?”

“Yeah we need food, but Kiku and Feli already have that covered.”

“Alright then I’m just gonna go ahead and set our stuff up,” Allistor said as he went to find their own spot on the beach.

(Name) stood by Francis, taking a look around the beach. This place seemed very familiar to her, but why? She hadn’t been here before, had she? As strange as it seemed, she felt as if the sea was somehow calling out to her. She stood there, spaced out to the rest of the world as she stared out to the open sea. Her eyes rested upon the same rock that she saw when they were going down the road in Arthur’s car. Her vision started becoming hazy and her legs started trembling before Francis walked in front of her, snapping her out of her trance.

“Are you alright, (Name)?” Francis asked.

(Name) held her head with one hand as her senses started to become clear again. “Y-yes, I’m fine Francis,” (Name) said.

“Are you sure? Because it seemed like you were about to pass out again.”

(Name) blushed slightly and looked away. He actually noticed that? “I’m okay, Francis. Don’t worry about me so much.”

Francis sighed and patted (Name)’s head gently. “Don’t push yourself too hard, (Name). You’ll exhaust yourself.”

“I won’t.” At least she wished she wouldn’t, but it seemed these dizzy spells came out of nowhere and she wasn’t able to stop them. She didn’t even know why she was having them or what they were triggered by. All she knew is that she received a headache every time these dizzy spells started again. Why was this happening all of a sudden? And she thought she had enough problems trying to get her memory back.

“Let’s go sit down with the others for now,” Francis said. (Name) nodded and followed Francis to where Allistor and Arthur had set up their spots at the beach. They had already set up two extra beach chairs for Francis and (Name). Francis started to lead (Name) to them until she heard her name being called out.

“(Name!)” She turned towards the sea, believing that the voice was coming from that direction.

“Who....” She mumbled as she started walking away towards the sea.

“(Name)!” Lilli ran up beside her, hugging her arm. “You came!”

“O-oh Lilli.” (Name) looked to the slightly smaller girl and smiled. So it was her that was calling her name. There was no way the sea could be calling her, right? “You’re here early.”

Lilli nodded and smiled. “I got my big brother to bring me here so I could see you.”

(Name) smiled and hugged Lilli. “Thank you, Lilli. I’m happy to see you.”

Lilli took her hand and went off down towards the beach with her. “Let’s go swim together, (Name)!”

(Name) followed Lilli out to the sea as she dived in. (Name) stood in the middle of the sea feeling as if the water around her was embracing her. Why did this feel so familiar? Why did the sea suddenly seem so captivating?
