Locked Away

Chapter 2

I sighed "Rose you may want to take a seat. This is confusing, unfortunately not very long, but what it lacks in length it makes up for in how confusing it is." Almost instantly she took a seat beside me.

"Look, it started out kinda weird. I was walking to a restaurant downtown. I walked in the doors and went up to the counter to order. After about 5 minutes I got my food and sat down to eat. Not long after some woman, who I have never met just came up to me and started ripping on me. That's when I felt it. Almost like the beginning stages of that feeling I was telling you about. Unfortunately that's where the dream, memory, or whatever you want to call it ends. So I'm just as confused as anyone else." At that point Rose looked just about as confused as I was.

"Hey S where is Jaxs you know he's better at solving these things. Maybe he can help." I laughed

"Rose Jaxs is currently in solitary confinement. Don't you remember when he started that riot. Although I think he's getting out today."

Rose smirked "Idiot, he of all people should know if you want to start one without getting caught he needs to rile people up mentally. They'll do the physical part themselves and you can just walk away and enjoy your masterpiece."

I rolled my eyes "you so obviously have spoken from experience, oh wise one." Rose's smirk only grew. That smirk makes me nervous for humanity and also makes me question her sanity.

"Of course I speak from experience. Unlike you I'm in for a bunch of different things. You my dear Sara are in for one large event. I am in for multiple things of all sizes." Just as I was about to reply another voice beat me to it.

"Hello fellow convicts. I'm back!" An all to familiar voice said.

"Jaxs!" Rose and I screamed. And just like that he was over here.

"Hey weirdos. Made any discoveries today?" Just like Rose whenever Jaxs sees me he asks if I've remembered anything about what got me in here.

"Actually. We kinda need your help with that."

He raised an eyebrow "Why?" Once again someone else beat me to it before I could explain.

"She had a dream, but we think it's a memory. Only catch is that it doesn't make much sense." Rose said. At this Jaxs looked surprised, it's been two years since I've been here and only now am I beginning to make progress in remembering what got me into this mess in the first place.

"That's a first. You actually remembered something?" Jaxs questioned.

"Yes but it has nothing to do with the actual crime committed. More like the events leading up to it, if that makes any sense." I said sighing.

"Tell me what you remember." So I did, I went through the memory again to Jaxs while he just sat there listening. Once I was finished telling Jaxs about the partial memory he just sat there thinking for a few minutes.

"The memory is defiantly before you committed the crime, but there are pieces missing. You probably knew some if not all of the people in the restaurant. It's just that your brain subconsciously knows what happened and is depersonalizing the people so it's easier for your conscious to comprehend what you did."

I dropped my head in my hands "it makes sense I just really don't want to believe it. Do you think any of the guards would get me a list of the people who died if they thought it meant me remembering what happened?" Before Jaxs could answer Rose practically jumped up and ran over to the guard who's name is Gary and dragged him over to our table. It really was a sight. This tiny little prisoner dragging a grown man who's glare could probably make almost anyone in this place want to hide in a corner.

"Ok why the hell did Rose drag me over here?" Gary asked. Jaxs along with Gary and Rose looked at me to answer.

"Hey I didn't tell her to do it. I merely asked if she thought one of the guards could possibly get me a list of the people involved in the incident that got me in here if it meant possibly remembering more."

Gary's eyes widened "remember more?"

I sighed "yes remember more. As in I'm getting bits and pieces back." Gary looked shocked, It was quite a funny sight.

"So you gonna help me?" Gary nodded as I'm pretty sure he couldn't grasp words at the moment. After a few minutes Gary finally figured out how to speak again

"yes. I'll help you, but I expect to be kept in the loop. So when you remember something you let me know." Gary, Jaxs, and Rose all looked at me until I said

"Deal."
