Description:
What's your name?"
"I don't have a name."

What would you do if you woke up in the middle of the desert and had no memories?
Post Promise Day*
Prologue
Twisted Metal,
Fire flickers,
My eyes closed shut,
Waiting for death to consume me, eat me whole.
"Please, just one more chance. One more chance to live my life. One more chance is all I ask. I'll give anything."
"Foolish humans."
.o0o.
I open my eyes to see a blue sky and a bright sun glaring down at me which causes me to narrow my eyes and make them water as my eyes try to adjust to the sudden change of there being light.
I lift up my hands, despite how stiff my arms were to wipe at my now watery eyes, courtesy of the sun's brightness. I go to sit up but freeze when I felt a sharp pain rip through me which causes me to let out a gasp.
I shake my head, which felt as if someone had hit me over the head with a sledgehammer. Despite the aching in my muscles, I pushed myself into a sitting position with my legs stretched out in front of me. I wiped off some sweat that was coming down my forehead before taking in my surroundings.
It was a deserted sandy desert as far as the eye could see. I groan before rubbing my eyes. I open them again to see that I was still in the middle of the desert. So I'm not dreaming apparently.
Why am I in the middle of the desert? That was one of the first questions that crossed my mind before wondering why I couldn't remember anything.
Running a hand through my messy and knotted brown hair while ignoring the pain I felt in my muscles. I decided to force myself on to my feet. My legs felt stiff when I moved them as if they had been kept in one position for too long.
While standing, I looked down at myself to see that I was wearing a black t-shirt with a pair of dark blue jeans and then a pair of black and pink shoes.
I made a face. What kind of person wears almost all black in the middle of a hot desert?
"It's already hot enough here but to be wearing dark clothing in this heat. What kind idiot am I?" I mutter to myself
I sigh before placing my hands on my hips. I looked around at the surrounding area again. How long have I been asleep for? So many questions were running through my mind that when I decided to take a step back. My foot came into contact with something, which threw me off balance and caused me to fall back on my butt.
Annoyance laced across my face as I looked to see a squarish looking black and white object that sat between my legs. I glared at it in annoyance before taking a deep breath and move mydelf to sit on my knees with the backpack in front of me.
I dust off the sand that had gotten onto my clothes when I fell. I looked back at the backpack again before taking it into my hands. My eyes widen with a jolt of realization of what this backpack could mean.
This could the answer to all of my questions! The thought caused hope to swell in my chest as I threw the lid open so then I could see what it held. I frown in disappoint when I noticed there were only three items in the backpack. A notebook, and a water bottle.
Disappointment gnawed at my heart before I decided to take out the notebook. "Well, I guess it won't hurt to at least trying look through ya," I muttered to myself.
Placing the bag back onto the ground. I open the notebook to the first page. The page was empty with the exception of four words that were written in black ink.
Enjoy your new life.
Now feeling even more puzzled, I raised an eyebrow at this. What in the world was that opposed to mean?
My eyes suddenly widen as I watched the words I had just read slowly start to disappear before my eyes.
The hell? Was the only thing that crossed my mind as I sat there in shock at what had just happened, now staring at the completely empty white notebook paper. I started flipping through the notebook. Hoping, praying that'll find something, anything that could be of use to me. But there was nothing, absolutely nothing in this notebook.
I let out a sigh before slamming the book shut, feeling greatly disheartened at not being able to find any answers.
But shortly after I closed the book. The book slowly begin to fade itself. My eyes widen at the sight of it disappearing before my eyes before I let out a screech as I let go of it and jump back.
The book hung in mid air until it completely disappeared.
It was slient as I stood there, staring at the spot where the book had been before rubbing my face with my hands as a groan slip past my lips.
I shook my head as I took a deep breath before lifting my head from my hands and bending down to zip up the backpack before tucking it into my arms and swinging the straps around my shoulders and pulling them over my shoulders.
I pull my long hair out from under the backpack before looking down at my wrists. Wondering if I had a hair tie. Relief filled me when I found one on my right wrist.
I grab hold of my long brown hair and begin pulling the black hair tie around it into a high ponytail, as a way to keep it out of my face as I walked across this desert.
"Now then, let's get this show on the road then," I tell myself before taking a step in a random direction that only God knows where it'll take me.
