The Lion and I

Chapter one: The bright light

I wake up under a bright light, I can hear voices in the back ground but can't see past the light. Am I dead? Where am I? I started to try and remember where I was but couldn't then the real question set in that made me panic, WHERE AM I? I struggled to get up but realized that I was tied down. That damn light if only I could see I can figure something out. I tried to yell for help but nothing came out of my mouth. I really needed to get the hell out of wherever I am. I heard a door shut from behind me, I tensed who ever just came through that door is most likely the same person who tied me up. I really started to panic now I was trying to untie my hands so I can get out but the more I tried the tighter they seemed to get. Who ever walked through the door was now standing beside the table.

"What the fuck do you want with me?" I tried to scream, but still nothing came out of my mouth.

"I see you have awakened." I heard a female voice say,"I was afraid you wouldn't make it for a while there."

Wouldn't make it what was she talking about what happened to me that would make her think I wouldn't make it? I felt fine not a sore spot on me. The light dimmed but I was still blind. I felt her undoing the knots and immediately felt my arm to see if it was OK. I was welcomed by a surprise my arm was in a cast, come to think of it I can't move my legs, hell I can't even feel them! I had another panic attack. this time she held me down so I wouldn't hurt my self.

" Don't make me regret undoing you. I will tie you up again if your just going to hurt yourself again." I heard her say straining to hold me still.

I stopped trying to get away not because she told me to, but because no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get my legs to move.

She sighed and said,"That's better. Now why don't you tell me who you are?"

I knew it was futile to try and talk, but I thought what the hell might as well try again I have nothing to lose.

"I don't know who I am." I tried to tell her, but just as I thought nothing came out.

There was a long pause before she must have given up on me and asked with a hint of panic in her voice," Why aren't you answering me?"

I heard her start to cry and say to herself," I failed he can't talk he can't walk who knows what else I've failed on."

I felt guilty I tried to feel my way to her but couldn't quite reach. I am slowly getting over the affect of that light, my eyes were starting to adjust to the surroundings. I notice I was in a small room with one window, I looked out the window and realized it was night time, there was also a table with what looked like medical equipment on it. I saw the light fixture that was shining on me when I woke up, and I saw who I was talking to she looked like she was maybe 24, 27 somewhere around that age. She had long brown hair, part of it was in a braid. I couldn't see much of her face she had her hands over it crying. I tried to remember if I have ever seen her before but my mind was drawing a blank. I looked at my legs to see why they won't move and realized it was because they were both in a cast tied to the table. There was noway I was going anywhere so I just laid back down feeling useless. She cried for maybe five more minutes before looking up and seeing that I was watching.

"Oh I'm sorry you must be hungry I'll be right back with some food." She said getting up and walking off.

There was something about her that made me feel kind of uneasy. I don't know if it was her voice or if it was just the fact that I was tied up and she wasn't. What ever it was it's making me want to leave. I'm going to have to stay at least until my legs get better, so I decided to bite my lip and stay for a little while. It didn't take long before she arrived with a try of food. She had steak, corn, fries, and green beans on the try and it all smelled delusions. There was also some water in a clear cup on the corner of the tray. I looked at her like how am I going to eat this one of my hands are out of commission. She looked at me with a what are you trying to say look before realizing that I can't cut my steak with one hand.

She jumped a little when she realized what I need grabbed my fork and knife started to cut some of my steak while saying,"Sorry I forgot you only had one good hand."

Great now she was feeding me like I was a baby I will be so glad to be able to help myself again. The meal was good I can't say it was the best I have ever had because of my memory lost but it was good. After she had finished feeding me she put the tray to the side walked over to the desk and got a pen and some paper. She sat back down got the pen ready for writing and asked,"Answer by tapping the desk once for no and twice for yes OK?"

I tapped the table twice.

"Good." she said as if she thought I wouldn't be able to understand her," First question are you a native to Africa?"

I don't know where Africa is or if I live there or not so I shrugged my shoulders.

"So you don't know then?" she asked with a concerned look on her face.

I tapped twice, she wrote something down on the pad. I'm curious to what she is writing but I can't move so It will have to stay at that.

"OK next question do you know your name?" She asked.

I tapped once. She wrote another thing on her pad.

"Well then before I ask any more pointless questions I better get the obvious out of the way." She said looking at me with her green eyes,"Do you remember anything before you woke up here?"

I tried really hard to remember anything but nothing came to mind so I tapped once. She folded up the paper and threw it away.

"Well then I guess I'll just have to find out who you are and where you live won't I?" She asked with the concerned face still looking at me.

I nodded wondering who I am myself. If only I could remember anything, anything at all it would help, but all I can remember are the events that took place today. Who am I?
