Only I know where I've been
It's was dark when I awoken. I was in a unknown forest, laying on the wet ground as it rain. My wedding dress was dirty with blood and mud, plus a rip here and there. I looked up at the sky, trying to remember where is was and why am I in a wedding dress. I have no idea why I was in one, I have no man in my life. Come to think of it, what happened to everyone in my life? I can't remember anything.
I slowly got up and started to walk in some random direction. It seems within minutes I came upon a old house. Lights were on, so lights mean people inside. I slowly made my way to the house and climbed the stairs, and knocked on the door. Within a few seconds, an old lady answered it with a smile that turn into a shocked look and gasped when she cought a look a look at me. I mastered up the best, clearest voice I had left.
"Excuse me miss, but where am I?"
"Oh my goodness, I can't believe you wok up alone in the woods like that." said Adele Stackhouse, (or as I know call her) the nicest lady I ever met!…I think. She hasn't even known me an hour but she had gotten me into dry clothes, wrapped me in a warm blanket, and gave me a cup of hot chocolate. We were sitting on the couch, talking about what happened to me. She seemed very concerned for me, even though she just met me.
"I don't seem to remember I thing. So many un-answered questions. Why was I there? Where did I come from? Why I was in a wedding dress?" I sipped my hot chocolate as the door behind me opened. I turned around to see a blonde girl, no older than middle 20s, walked in with some kind of uniform. She looked confused as I sat there looking at her confused back.
"Oh? I'm sorry gran, I didn't know we were having company tonight. I wouldn't have invited Bill over."
"No no Sookie, she's in trouble and needs our help. She was left in the woods and she just showed up at our door, not knowing a thing. Did you think you can look inside her mind and find something dear?"
"What?" I asked, feeling I was being left out of an inside thingy. All of a sudden, I feel something hit my head and I flow across the room, straight into the wall.
"Oh My!" both Adele and Sookie yelled as the came running over to see if I was alright. My vision slowly faded as I looked out the window to see a man in his late 60s, tall with black hair with gray strikes in it. He had sunglasses and was looking straight at me.
'Get up, Atra.'
He was talking to me! I'm Atra! And he! I know him! He is and before I could think of his name then he just disappeared and I pasted out.
"All I did was try to look into her mind, and something was blocking me out. And then she went falling into the wall Bill! As she past out I only got a glance at her name. Atra." I heard Sookie say as I came out of the darkness.
"The man told me I was Atra." I said as I tried to sit up, "He told me I was Atra. I'm Atra." I looked to see a nice person in living room with us, a man. He must be Bill. He was tall and pale…vampire.
"I'm so sorry that happened to you, but I don't know how that happened to you."
I stood up and cracked my back, like I've been it thousand times. I stopped to think about it, but then turned to Sookie. "I know you didn't mean to do it…you didn't, did you?" she shook her head 'no'. "I didn't think so, plus I'm fine now, so you don't need to be sorry." I smiled and continued to stretch, cracking places in my body. Bill stared at me up and down, like something was wrong with me.
"I think Eric might be able to help. He has connects I don't have. He might be able to track down who she is." Bill talked like I was in the room. Rude much.
"I hate Eric, but he could probably help her." Sookie said walking upstairs.
"If we're going somewhere I might need clothes or a could get back in my wedding dress." I was modeling a pair of Sookie's pjs.
"…So you see Eric, we need your help." Sookie finished as she and Bill sat across from Eric. I just sat on the black, leather couch Eric had in his office. Sookie was Nice to lean me an outfit to me, til I can get something for myself. She picked me a black tank top, with black jeans and a dark navy hoodie. She said dark colors worked for me. We are in this club called Fangtasia, I don't know, I was just going along with Sookie. She seemed trustworthy…her grandmother is.
"This…girl…Has nothing to her, but the name Atra. Do you know how hard it will be to find someone with just a first name? Very, VERY hard." Eric said leaning back in his desk chair, with his arms cross.
"Please Eric? She need help." "Ok, but on one condition. I want you Sookie." Eric smirked as Bill growled, getting ready to rip Eric's throat out, but Sookie held him back.
"No Eric!" Sookie yelled.
"Then I want her." He pointed at me. "If I'm going to help her, then I want her to stay with me. It's your pick Sookie. You or her." I looked at Sookie and seen pain in her eyes. I know she would give me up to him, after all, I was just some girl that she met an hour ago. Her grandmother won't have given me up, I hope Sookie gets an ear full when she gets home. She looks sad as she left me there, without a word. Bill followed her, glaring at Eric as he walked out. Eric just smirked.
"Well, Atra. I have work to do tonight, but at that I'll start making some calls. I'm saying here overnight, so you can just crash on the couch for the day. If you need anything, just ask Ginger."
And I laid back into the couch, and close my eyes as Eric left the room.
"Well, you're a hard case, Atra." Eric said as he pushed me off the couch and onto the floor. "There is no trace of you ever born or death." he leaned down to me, as I nursed my head from the fall. "So now our question is, who wanted to erased you from the world?"
