Chapter 27 – I don't remember
The days passed like normal. I ate breakfast each day with my parents, before spending hours doing what I like, normally I read or spent hours outside, lunch then more time and dinner.
It was boring, I hated it but it was also relaxing. I would sometimes sit for hours watching the trees, a part of me wanted to sit beneath them and listen to them speak but my parents wouldn't let me go that far out of grounds.
I watched people fall in love, I listened to people scream and shout at each other, I saw new friendships grow, I even saw new life enter the world in the form of a child. It was beautiful, all of it, but I couldn't do it.
I spoke to my parents but it was distant, forced even. I didn't like it I preferred my solitude but it wasn't that I craved the solitude it was that I felt like I wasn't with who I wanted to be with but I had nobody but my parents to be with.
I had only been here for three months and I was bored, I wanted more in life but I didn't know what more it could offer me.
I would wake every morning in the most serene state, I never dreamt but I had strong feelings of remembering each time I woke but I never felt it for long. I couldn't process emotions, my smiles were fake, my joy wasn't real, nothing seemed real.
I had no rules to follow yet I felt like I wasn't dictating my own life, I felt like I was in chains and somebody was telling me I was allowed to run and dance but I could run or dance because of the chains.
I only had to show up at certain times to eat food and that was it. I had spent all morning thinking to myself, I would wonder what it would be like to be this person or that person or how the bark of trees would feel beneath my fingertips.
I turned to check the time and noticed I had missed not only breakfast but lunch too. I had missed lunch but a short time so maybe there were leftovers.
I hopped down from the window and rushed out of my room. I navigated my way to the kitchen easily. I was shocked by what I found. It was completely empty, no staff, no people still mulling around from lunch, save for two girls. Their hair was the same colour and they could have been twins were they not different ages. The green-eyed man flashed through my mind again for a moment, the similarities between the girls and him puzzling.
Not only did the girls look like him but they were so familiar, especially when the youngest turned to smile kindly at me. I frowned at the two, they weren't conversing but sitting alone in silence, they were together but so lonely.
It hit me that I was like this too and for a moment I had a strong feeling I knew who they were. Why were they here after lunch though? I had never stayed after lunch but I was always told to leave quickly and enjoy the day, are my parents hiding these girls from me?
"Who are you?" The youngest asked, her voice sweet like sugar. I blinked quickly when my head spun upon hearing her speak. I regained myself before putting on a fake smile.
"My name is Rose." The word rolled off my tongue like honey, but then I froze. I didn't know my own name seconds ago, nobody had told me, I was addressed as sweetie or darling but never as my true name or what I had just called myself.
"I'm..." She froze, a small crease appearing between her tiny brows as she thought. It took her a moment to speak again while the other girl watched me with a strange expression like she was trying to figure me out. "I don't remember." The younger one spoke so softly but it hit me like a punch to the chest.
These girls were like me. "You're Sammie and that's your sister Chloe," I said quickly, it was me speaking but it was facts I didn't know. I had no memory of these girls and yet here I was telling them stuff about... them. Almost as if it was second nature to reassure them but yet I had no idea who they were.
"I don't remember anything but you are so familiar I just can place who you are." The oldest one, Chloe finally spoke, it clicked then. I did have memories, once, but they were being hidden from me.
I was deep in thought as I eyed their food, exactly like mine was every day. I was never allowed to get my own food, my father insisted he gets mine and my mothers. At first, I thought he was being kind but now it seemed like he might have been lying about everything.
"Stop," I said as Sammie went to pick up another spoon of the soup we had for lunch almost every day. "It's the food, it's spiked don't eat it," I said, more to myself than them but Chloe caught on immediately.
"If we don't eat it will we remember?" Chloe asked picking Sammie up, I wasn't sure but I motioned to be quiet, if they were lying to us we need to be careful. These girls were hidden from me for a reason.
"We should go back to our own room so we're not caught but whatever you do tell nobody we met and do not eat the food," I said quickly but kept speaking as Chloe went to speak up. "I'll find us food but we need our memories back."
I moved fast, back up to my room before my parents found us. I was one step ahead and it needed to remain that way.
It took three more weeks of eating nothing, I had ended up syphoning small parts of food that weren't spiked for the girls and I. It was small but it was working, my parents remained in oblivion.
Small things at first, like Sammie calling me Roro and Chloe remembering how her room looked or that she had a brother.
Mine was worse, I had dreams that I forgot every morning but they were always along the same lines.
It wasn't until I sat up one morning and didn't forget. "Cody," I spoke, I was alone but I felt it then. A bond between two mates, I hadn't felt it before and it all hit me at once. Pain and loneliness the strongest but then it changed to shock as the person on the other end felt my presence.
I was unable to remember who it was or even try to communicate with them. In those moments I could have sworn the world shook with a ferocious growl of a male who had long lost his mate.
Not his only his mate but a growl of the loss of the queen. Not the queen of werewolves but the queen of love, a goddess who was lost in time and was changing it without knowing.
Sammie ran in then, Chloe following, both of them panting harshly. "Rose he's coming and it's going to bring the end of the world," Sammie spoke, but her voice was emptier and another thought clicked.
A dream from weeks ago when I had first left the blank room, a dream of a goddess who had jumped but above, a memory of a girl who should have never experienced love but found it still.
Now upon losing her true love she was falling apart and would bring the world down with her...
