Angel of Night-The Beginning of the End

Chapter 4~ The Taxi

Esmaria’s POV~

What am I supposed to do now? I thought to myself as I walked out of my hotel room. I had been searching the internet for hours looking for local places that might have the information I need, but came up with nothing. Usually, when I come to a new place to get information, I would at least find something helpful. But in this big city, the only way to fine anything would be to go looking for it myself, in person.

The data I am looking for (something connecting me to somewhere, anywhere, in the past) is usually not that difficult to find. It is not like I go around asking about myself, I cannot do that since I do not remember my last name. When I come to a place that is new to me, I look for things that might remind me of my past.

For example; by looking through old newspapers in a library in Oregon, I was able to find the day of my birth, which is November nineteenth… but I have yet to discover the year. As for my exact age, I am not entirely sure… but I think I’m somewhere close to eighteen or nineteen. The only way I found that information was seeing a picture of a park in the paper. It brought up memories of a birthday I had at a park when I was younger. But unfortunately, I only remember the day and month, not the year.

Might as well go look for it myself, I think as I walk out of the hotel, the early winter air stinging my skin. There is a light dusting of snow on everything around me as I walk down the crowded street, making everything look clean and white. Now, where to start? Maybe this would be less difficult if I went toward the more popular locations, I think as I walk to the edge of the side walk to hail a taxi.

As a taxi pulls up, something bumps into me from the side; causing me to stumble and fall over the edge of the sidewalk. I brace myself for an undoubtedly painful impact, but before I hit the ground, I feel a hand grab my arm and pull me up to my feet. Looking up, I see steel grey eyes like liquid silver staring at me.
