Chapter 25- The past

"You cannot have a future without a past, don't forget it. Instead, memorize it by heart, for those were the memories that made you who you are today and no one can change that."

We're in an greece now. After what happened, Solomon led me to his private jet in the rooftop of the hotel, ignoring Carl and his guards.

I didn't utter another word after what happened, I felt like I lost my voice.

I just stared at the windows of his pent house, admiring the beautiful scenery in front of me. The blue sky calmed my senses as the vast ocean swayed me with its waves in a wonderful dance.

"You need to change, we're going somewhere." I stood and stared at him for a while. He went out of the room after he handed me a paper bag which contained all my necessities including clothes.

I changed into a white floral romper and I was thankful he included a peach hat that matched the outfit.

He took my hands as we walked along the shore for a while. No one dared to talk and I haven't uttered a word since we got here, my heart was just heavy and my throat seemed dry.

"This is where they found me." We stopped at a spot near the shore, it is surrounded by stoneforms and is far away from the people.

He waited for my reaction but I gave him none. My body couldn't react to anything that is happening. I didn't know if he really got him memories back and I'm getting tire of his baby steps. I've waited for a thousand years for him and he now moves in a slow pace.

"I was told that they saw me here six years ago. I was nearly dead, but life seemed to favor me too much. Mr. Levin is a doctor, and he found me while he's on a vacation." I gasped, but didn't say anything.

"He said I was special, he helped me and my wounds were recovering at a very fast pace that isn't human anymore. My blood type is indistinguishable as well as my identity. I was nobody, I seemed to pop out from an empty space and I'm glad he found me for I was told it was safer when I'm with him." He looked lost in his thoughts as he stared at the ocean.

"That was the story I've believed in ever since I woke up." He sighed. "Then I remembered everything, and it was all a big fat lie. My existence had been a lie, and it hurt me the most when you lied to me." That got my attention, and my tears spilled on my cheeks. I tried to stop it but they never stopped flowing.

"I remembered everything." That was enough for me to release the sob I've been suppressing. I cried my heart out as he watched me. I didn't see him but I felt him pull me in his arms. I felt safety and warmth and home.

"I wasn't found here," I stared at him, signaling him to continue. "I landed here after you, the general had a spare ship and he managed to rescue more than what we lost." It was hard taking in the information. It was all too much.

"Why didn't you find me?" I finally found my voice.

"I was asleep for a hundred more years after my ship landed deep within the ocean. When I woke up, everything was new to me, I didn't know where I was, who I am, or what I'm doing in such a dark place."

"I stayed there god knows how long until I saw a light," all this time, I thought I'll never see him again. "I followed it and saw the sky for the first time. I followed the ship and landed on an island, I walked in what looked like a market and I found an old woman."

I was walking along the shore. Everyone had something colorful covering their skins and I felt vulnerable under their stares. An woman with wrinkles approached me.
