I woke up. The smell of smoke drifted around, fire crackling and people bustling around me. Opening my eyes, I saw a car on fire, I recognised the registration plate but at the same time I did not. I started to get up, managing to find strength in my arms to lift me up. Getting onto my feet, I slowly but painfully walk over to the wreckage. I was so confused as to what was happening. Looking inside the blaze, I saw a skeleton. Tears poured down my face and I do not even know why. Stepping back, I saw a silver chain under a piece of metal. Trying to walk, I reach the metal piece and put my hand under it and pulled the chain out, at the end of the chain was a heart with jewels embedded into it. I put it over my neck and looked at it hanging there, it was simply beautiful.
Soon I heard sirens. They grew louder and louder, when finally a large van pulled up. I shielded my eyes from the flashing lights, but I soon fell to my knees. People got out of the van and came towards me with large green bags in their hands. I fell back into one of their arms. "It's okay you're safe now, I need you to listen to me carefully". After that, I remember nothing
Darkness falls over my eyes, I cannot see anything. When I open my eyes again, I'm looking up and moving fast, people around me are saying things I do not understand, and then I went back into the darkness; hoping to wake again.
Waking up again, I'm not moving. Machines are making a noise all around me. A doctor strolls in "Christine how are you feeling this morning?"
"Fine" I lied "where am I?"
"You're in a hospital. You were involved in a car crash. Do you remember anything?"
I shook my head, "all I remember is I was going somewhere and I was happy"
"Well I hate to inform you that your parents perished in the car crash and someone was seen leaving the scene"
"you mean someone left me and my parents to die?", tears welled in my eyes.
"I'm not saying that but it seems that way. You don't remember who you were travelling with?"
I shook my head. "I want to go home"
"You will but you have to be monitored due to the nasty knock to your head that you had. We believe that it has caused severe amnesia"
He then turned around and left. After he left, I tried so hard to remember the past and people in my life. How can I not remember my own parents? I tried to remember but there was nothing, nothing but darkness. I started to cry, tears crawling slowly down my face. I didn't want to wipe them away, enough has already been lost and I didn't even know what I had lost. That's the worst part.
