Bewitch Me [Book 1 & 2, The Witch's Fate]

Chapter Sixty Two - Do I know you?

Where am I?

I'm I dead?

I don't remember anything...

The smell of medicines and fluid bags reached my nostrils forcing me to open my eyes.

Hospital?

How did this happen?

How did I get here?

Who's this guy?

I tilted my head curiously at the sleeping figure besides my bed side. From the look in the young guy's eyes, I can predict he hasn't slept in days.

"Who are you?". I choked out in a whisper.

He didn't answer cause he was sound asleep but that didn't still make the situation I'm in any easier.

First I wake up in a hospital..

Second, I find a guy sleeping next to me....

Third...I...I remember nothing...nothing at all, other than missing a step on the stairs at home?

How did the accident get this serious?

I need to escape!

Turning left and right, I tried to prop my arm on the pillow and pull my body upwards but then a sharp pain shot through my throat suddenly making me scream in pain.

"Hurts...hurts hurts..hurts so much!".

"You're awake, thank goodness". The young man sighed in relief and stretched a little with a tired smile.

"Uhh, hi?". I raised an eyebrow.

"How are you feeling now, Isabelle?". He asked with emotions in his eyes.

"First of all, why do you CARE? Second of all, I've never been better, thanks though".

"Hmm, I see. Just take your drugs regularly and you'd feel a whole better".

"How did you even know my name?".

I guess my question caught him off guard cause his eyes shifted to the window across the room.

Okay?

Weird.

"You don't remember anything at all?". His voice came out a little softer than before.

I blinked at his weird question which was somewhat true to me.

"I remember bumping my head on a stair or something but I don't remember getting this much bandages and crutches. Why?".

I could see his eyes gleaming with crystal tears from the base of his lids. Did I say something wrong??

"Do you know me?". He asked.

"I-i don't know.....B-but you look familiar really". I answered unsure of my feelings and judgement.

He looks like someone I know...?

Someone that ummm...

Think hard Isabelle...

What happened....?!

"It's okay...it's better that way even, you really wouldn't want to know me if you remember". He wore a smile and stood up from the chair he had been sitting on the whole time.

"Why? What's your name?". I asked.

"Forget it Isabelle". He cut in and placed my blanket over my barely covered body.

"Are you here to stalk or kidnap me then?". Out of nowhere I was holding a key to threaten him.

He blinked and laughed.

Funny right!?

I need a bottle or knife to threaten him to leave!

"It's Xander but..you can do anything more than that to me missy". He teased and took the key from my hand with ease.

"Xander...xander..xander...". I mouthed and pouted at how handsome and gentle he looked despite his strange attitude.

"Don't think too much and rest, you need rest not thoughts Isabelle". He ordered and turned at me.

"Not when I'm missing a detail in my life! I can't remember something and and....".

"My life's quite the boring one, each time you want to remember something just pour your heart to the necklace on your neck".

"To the necklace on my what-". I trailed my hand to my neckline only to discover a golden locket dangling neatly across my chest.

"You can keep it, it's all yours..". He said and admired the content on my neck.

"W-why? I don't even...".

"You'd see everything soon My Queen". He sighed and stared at the wooden door.

Coincidentally the door flung open revealing another man in white medical robes which I assumed was the doctor.

"She's awake already?". The man asked while adjusting his glasses.

"Yeah, although she seems better...she seems two minded". Xander said and patted his back before walking out of the room, leaving just I and the doctor now.

"Isabelle it is eh?". The doctor asked while removing his binoculars and gloves one by one.

"I guess?". I found it strange at how everything seems pretty awkward.

"Tell me, what do you actually feel now?". The man asked.

"A lot of emotions at once Doctor, sounds crazy right?". I sighed.

The doctor didn't answer rather than take down note of what I was saying and examine my vocal chords.

"There was a victim that had the same condition with you recently, do you recall being with her or anything?".

Her?

Victim?

Do I even have a friend?
