DAY

It has been almost ten years since I've been to Los Angeles, the city I grew up and became myself in. I am walking down some of the streets in the richer section with Eden, who has been preparing to get a job. My amnesia was hard to get over. I felt like I was grasping at something in the darkness all the time, but by now, I have regained most of my memory.

I can't seem to remember something important though, something that was a major factor in my life and I have to admit, the knowledge of what I'm missing is slowly tearing me apart. I have dreams sometimes of a girl with a high, brown ponytail, the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. But then she disappears, back into my mind, where I can not conjure her back up.

I am still a hero of the Republic, but my name means less now. I am still a symbol whenever a rebellion wants to happen. I am walking down the street, Eden slightly in front of me, when I see a girl. Her hair is down, framing her face. I feel like I know her, and like I don't. She locks eyes with me for just a second, and slows her walking pace. Soon she passes me, but I know that I can't let her melt back into the crowd where I may never see her again. I break away from Eden, who stops and looks on as I approach the girl.

"Excuse me," I say to her. She turns around and looks at me, as if studying my eyes. "Have we met before?"

She seems to contemplate this for a second before quietly answering, "No, I'm sorry."

I don't know why, but I don't want to accept that as the answer. I twist the paperclip ring around my finger, a habit that now joins with my grabbing for my pendant. I don't remember who gave the ring to me, but I have a feeling it is this girl, seeing the way she stares at it, almost in awe.

"Oh," I reply, almost saddened by her answer, but still hungering for more. "I'm sorry to bother you then. You just looked really familiar. Are you sure we don't know each other from somewhere?" My head tugs for answers, for snippets of memories, for anything. All I can picture is the girl with the high ponytail and the most beautiful figure. She hesitates, as if she can see my struggle for memories. I keep pulling out little snippets from my subconscious, of a time when I was much younger.

"I have known you. A long time ago. I don't know where, but you are seriously familiar," I say and wait for her reaction.

"Why?" she asks quietly.

I take a step closer too her and she becomes immersed in my eyes. The one eye in particular that the Republic drew samples from, or so they tell me. I laugh a little and I don't know why. It's probably because I'm having some memories of this girl, but I still don't know her. "This is going to sound strange. I've been searching a long time for something I think I lost," I say.

She seems to tread through all of her lines with caution. I see a flicker in her eyes, almost like a faint fire of hope. "That's not really that strange at all."

I smile in return. Eden's appointment is soon, but something tells me that he can wait. "I felt like I found something when I saw you back there. Are you sure…do you know me from somewhere? Do I know you?"

She seems to be struggling between two different responses. One that her heart yearns towards and the other that she forces out between her lips. Hoards of people swarm around us and I almost loose Eden in the crowd, but he is always there, staring back with a smile on his face. "I have to go meet up with some friends," she replies.

"Sorry," I reply. I remember Tess and how I'm supposed to meet her and I smile again. "I do too, actually. An old friend down in Ruby."

"Is your friend's name Tess?" she asks, her voice shaking a little.

Now I look surprised. "Do you know her?"

She looks puzzled again, but a sad puzzled, as if she's hiding something. "Yes, I'm actually having dinner with her tonight," she says.

I keep staring at her. More snippets of memories come, and then the big one. I remember the feel of her lips on mine, many times. I remember how it felt to be helplessly in love. She's the one from my dreams. "I do remember," I say quietly. "It's you."

HOW WAS IT? Please read and review. Reviews mean soooo much to me :)
