2017↠l.h

ii

a sharp pain spread through my body, beginning from my stomach. my hand darted up to my stomach only to find blood oozing. i was shot. someone's hand was quickly on my mouth and nose with a smelly handkerchief. it was some kind of sleeping gas. soon enough everything went black.

"2017?" i spoke full of surprise. "i was gone for three years?"

"pretty much yes" the unknown girl seemed really eager to speak, i on the other hand just wanted to find my loved ones. "what happened?" she asked. i should have seen that coming.

"it's a long story" i warned her, not actually enthusiastic to share my life with a stranger.

"i've got time" she chirped and pulled my hand. she drove us to a bench and turned to face me.

i stood up and looked down at her "look, i don't even know your name and all i want is to see my friends and family right now" i walked away, but her voice stopped me.

"you know, today's your memorial, it has already been three years since you disappeared. your whole family and mates will be there. i can take you if you want" she was already walking my way. "by the way, i'm alicia" she brought her hand forward for a handshake and i remained looking at it, totally confused.
