Amnesia

CHAPTER 11 - Truth be Told

I barely slept at all that night, I laid in bed with Blu cuddled next to me, thinking about what could've happened, I didn't have the heart to ask Lotor what happened up there with the "repairmen". I did what I had been doing for the past few days now, fiddling around with the locket. I'm so close to remembering what this is, I'm so fucking close...I started to doze off, my eyes were closing on their own and I had passed out.

Happy birthday to you, That's how this story started, happy birthday to you, They all sang with so much happiness, happy birthday dear Lance! I felt important, happy birthday to you! Everyone cheered and clapped as I blew out the candles on my cake. I turned 23 that day, all my closest friends were there with me, Hunk and Pidge, my best friends since I can remember, Allura, Shiro, Coran, my mentors back at the Garrison, and my boyfriend...My boyfriend? Wait a minute, I know this, I know these people. Everyone's faces came back to me, except for him. His voice I heard, but his face was a blur.

I woke up in a sweat, I sat up and took some deep breaths. My birthday, I remember everyone, except for him. I groaned heavily and shoved my head into the pillow. Why can't I remember his name and face? He has to be someone important who tustve been important to me. He terrorizes me in my dreams and makes my heart race like crazy! I looked around for Blu to cuddle her, she had moved to the foot of the bed, sleeping soundly. Good little kitty. I sighed and tried to go back to sleep.

There was a room, a small bed room, a box with 2 kittens inside on the foot of the bed, Blu and Red. I picked up one of the kittens, it was Blu, she licked my face gently and purred. He came to me and kissed me, it felt so real.

"I love you Lance." He said to me.

"I love you too...too..." I stuttered, I couldn't think of his name. He held up a small little box.

"Open it Lance." I took the box from him, inside was the purple locket. I looked at it, and he came, putting it around my neck.

"Try to open it Lance, I know you know how to, I showed you how." He started to fade away.

"No! No! Wait! I don't remember! Come back!" Everything started to fade away from my vision.

"I love you, you'll remember." His voice faded away so lightly.

I shot up out of bed, it was morning. I looked at the locket and saw a small little button. This is it... I pressed the button, music started to play. Lucky by Jason Mraz and Colbie Calliat, I know this song. The heart opened up, my eyes widened when I saw what was inside.

"Keith...my boyfriend Keith Kogane..." I whispered softly. Everything came back to me, the Garrison, my birthday, the night at the pond, the car, the headlights, Keith calling out my name.

"I finally remember!" I started to cry, I looked around me and realized something else too. Lotor...this was his plan all along? I picked up Blu and got dressed, I wore something simple, and stormed outside my room.

Lotor was already sitting at the table, eating breakfast alone. I stood in front of him and sat down in the seat near him, still holding Blu. Lotor looked up at me.

"Morning darling how did you-" He paused and looked at Blu, "Where did that cat come from Lance?" he paused again, "and that locket"

"Oh these, this is Blu, my cat, and this locket, oh this locket?" I pressed the button and music started playing.

"That's not all it can do Lotor my 'boyfriend' it also has this" The heart opened and I showed him the picture of Keith and I. Lotor was dumbfounded, he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
