I carefully opened my eyes, shutting them back quickly due to the bright light. Prying them open again, allowing them adjust to its surrounding.
Looking around,I was surrounded by white walls, like I was in a box. The place looked strange. Trying to get up from my uncomfortable position my head pounded like a gazillion monkeys were playing.' ouch' how did I get here. The last thing I remember was darkness and screaming.
" Hello?" I called out my throat parched and dry,clearing it I called out again
" Hello? Is anybody here" looking around to find a door at least.
" Amy?" Is that mama? I thought
" Amelia is that you?" The voice called out again. I looked around again this time carefully to know where the voice came from." Mama?" I walked towards where I thought I heard the voice. Suddenly the voice starts sobbing.
" Amelia I'm so, so sorry I should have told you.." confused and scared I ran to the other wall banging it with my fist frustrated that I can hear her but I cannot see her.
" Mama it's okay alright you tried your best and I love you for that. You stayed when others hated me" I leaned against the wall as I said those things hoping she could hear me.
" Amelia I am sorry, I should have stopped her, I should have followed her... Amelia please save me" this time the voice came as a plea. My heart raced and hit against my chest.
" You have to save me!?.. Amelia he's going to kill me you have to... Amelia!!!!?!.." the voice faded and everywhere went silent. What just happened,where is mama. What is she talking about, where am I?
" Mama? Mama!? Mama?!!!!." I screamed for her to come back. I can't lose her, she's the only person I have. I rubbed my sweaty palms together, I have to find mama.
Trying to look for an exit another voice piped up.
" You don't know anything about your stupid life" it sounded like
" Mother?"
" Your mother could have listened to me when I told her to back off and leave him for me."
" No no" I tried to cover my ears hoping to block whatever she's saying so I will not be able to hear her
" Your stupid mother stole him from me!"
" No no you are my mother,"
" Just like you!. Amelia! Stole my daughter's destiny!?"
" Please I'm sorry mother.. I'm so sorry" I rocked gently in a corner with tears rolling down my eyes.
" You Amelia , are going to die like her!?" As soon as she said that she laughed with scorn laced in her tone earning a whimper from me. I covered my ears with both hands again and screamed. "Derek!!!!"

I was jolted back with a shake. I slowly opened my eyes seeing Derek's face in my face like he wanted to kiss me." What are you doing?" I questioned ad he moved back quickly
" Nothing, what happened" he asked with worry laced in his tone, weird. I looked around and found the room was already full with worry etched on each one of their faces especially the girl and Derek.
" I.i.i don't know" I tried to get up but I fell back on my butt, I was weak and my throat sore, I need water. Derek quickly came to my side and helped me get up. Wow this is the nicest I've seen him be.
I muttered a thank you but he did not leave my side which I found completely awkward. He bent to my level cause I was sitting on the bed already and looked me in the eyes.
" Amelia you were screaming something must have happened".
" I .I can't...I can't remember" my chest thugged in pain and my palms sweaty. I only sweat on my palms when I'm scared but I don't know why I am. Something happened and I can't pinpoint what exactly.
" Jesus Amelia try and remember please... " He groaned in frustration as he got up and began pacing around the room.
" I. I .I can't I swear" I sighed and slumped on the bed bothered by what he had said.
" Why was I screaming?" I askedHe turned and looked at me.
" That's what we want to know" he raised a brow and turned the wall back and began banging it, as soon as he starts my head also began to pound ' ouch'" What is it with you?!" I screamed angrily, sitting up from the bed angrily and facing him.is not like he was the person that can't remember. I'm trying here and he's making it difficult.
" What is it with me? Really?! You screamed my name that's what?!" Seriously I screamed his name? Why will I screamed his name, I'm sure I did not have a choice. I rolled my eyes and slumped back on the bed.
Everywhere became so quiet all of a sudden. I sighed, I needed rest and I so need a shower. Standing up from the bed i came face to face with Derek. What is he still doing here and where is everybody.
" Amelia, I'm your merchant and you have to let me help you" I scoffed merchant of death, yeah right. I tried to turn but he held me and pushed me on him and whispered softly in my ear.
" I'll start by teaching you manners Amelia. You don't walk out on me ever... again. Now let's start this again.what happened, why did you scream" his breath fanning against my earlobe earning a moan from me and my legs to shake. With that he hit the wall with his fist and suddenly everything came back, every single thing...
" Mama!" I gasped.
