A is for Amnesia

I didn't know if I would ever get my memory back. I just knew if I ever did, it would happen on its own. These were the thoughts racing through my mind as I sat in one of my favorite window seats, looking at the peaceful town of Roseville, which, at that moment, had thunder and lightning ruining it's small-town peacefulness. The dark sky reflected my memory of the summer.

Dark. Mysterious. Dangerous.

"Hey," I heard the voice, but I didn't turn around, wanting just a few moments alone to myself, not to mention, not wanting to hear the rumors that were always common at my school. My home.

Since I was in a tight ball, there was a small space for another person to sit down, and I felt, rather than saw, Zach pull back the curtains I had draped around myself and sit down besides me.

"You feeling okay?" he asked, brushing a strand of my hair away from my face. I didn't say anything to answer him, instead I turned around to face him

"I just...I just wish I knew where I messed up over the summer. If I hadn't gotten caught, or progress at the moment would be way more than where we're at right now" He didn't answer me for a moment.

"Cam-" he started, but then seemed to be trying to figure out how to put his thoughts into words. "Look, Cammie, if I could change the fact that you got caught- and hurt- I would. In a heartbeat"

I started to answer, to tell him it had been my fault I ran away, but apparently he wasn't done "And, just so you know, I'd rather you be safe than know why the Circle is after you"

What did he mean by that? "Zach," I started softly "The Circle is an organization that's been functioning for over two hundred years. I'd just be another person the Circle's hurt. I know you mean well, but I prefer the Circle being brought down, than how hurt I am"

He looked like he wanted to say something but I rushed to add "I'm willing to get hurt for," my voice cracked a little "for my dad. If the Circle took his life then me getting injured isn't much compared to what he went through"

He looked into my eyes and said "I know"

Then he took my hand and gave it a small, reassuring squeeze. A sign that everything would turn out okay.

I gave him a small half-smile. "I just wish this was all over" I admitted, looking down at the floor.

I could feel him looking at me. "I promise you we'll end this, okay?"

"Promise?" I said, sounding like a child. Which I wish still was. So then I wouldn't know all the danger-filled things that go on in this world.

Since Zach was still holding my hand, he gave it another squeeze "Promise"

I sighed "I also wish that everyone I care about didn't have to go through this, because of me-"

"And me" Zach put in. I didn't say anything. "I also wish that I hadn't written that page about the circus. Just a few lines that caused them to go after me..." I trailed off, looking down at Roseville again.

The rain drops were a strangely beautiful sight on the window pane, and I let one of my fingers run down the cool glass.

"You didn't know" his voice was quiet, so soft I almost doubted he'd said it.

"It isn't really you're fault, you know," he said, looking straight into my eyes. "Yeah" I whispered turning back to the window pane.

I could see the lights in my mother's office, an office that was no doubt locked. Because there are some things you aren't supposed to know.

Zach seemed to read my mind because he looked in the direction I was looking at and said "They'll figure it out"

"Let's just hope they don't figure it out too late" I replied.

I didn't know what 'it' was. Maybe it was how to bring down the Circle. Maybe it was how to make our next move.

Or maybe it was just something I wasn't supposed to know.

The lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the sky with electricity. I counted to four inside my head, and thunder followed (Liz told me exactly how many seconds and nano seconds it takes for sound to come after light) rumbled in the distance.

The last thing I felt before falling fast asleep was Zach's arms around me and his hand stroking my hair.

Maybe having amnesia has it's perks, too.

A/N And..cut! Of course this couldn't have been done without my co-writer/aunt Liz! Okay..okay...only I can call her Liz. Got that? She made me an invisibility hoodie *jumps up and down like a little kid* So everyone, round of applause to Aunt Liz aka Operative CG16 for helping me with this...the future will bring chapter two! I'm just not telling you the title!
