I woke up out of a dead sleep. "Where am I?" I looked around the room and noticed an older man sitting in a chair beside my bed. He was ringing out a cloth that was in a pan of water beside him. He turned to me and said
"You have finally woken up. You gave me quite a scare I wasn't sure if you were ever going to wake up." He smiled and walked over to my side. My head was starting to hurt and I had no recollection of anything at all. The only thing I remembered was my name. Well at least I think its my name.
"Excuse me but do you know where I am?" the older man looked as if he was in shock and there was a sense of worry in his voice as he talked to me. "Danielle, do you not remember anything?"
So I was right I did know my own name, thank god. "No, I don't remember anything except that my name is Danielle. I am sorry." I felt as if I was going to cry and the old man held my hand. " I am your Grandpa and you live here in Yamato with your mother and I.. Please don't cry my child you have nothing to worry about."
I felt a sense of relief knowing that I was surrounded by someone in my family but I couldn't help but feel like something was off. Maybe its because my head hurts. I smiled at my Grandpa and said thank you.
Three weeks had already passed since the day I woke up and realized I had no memory. My mother was in the kitchen making my Grandpa lunch for work. He started working at the local mines after his retirement to help bring in extra cash for my mother.
Even though my mother was the secretary for the navy base in Yamato, my Grandpa always felt that she deserved more so he helped her in any way he could. "Danielle, your boss called he said he was going to be to work later then usual today and asked if you could set up the bar for him before he comes in". "Thanks mom ill leave now so I can get everything ready."
Tonight was an unusual situation than normal for the bar. Word was rumored that a group of pirates were in the harbor and my boss loves when they stop by because he makes an amazing profit from them. As I was walking out the door my Grandpa called out to me, "Danielle make sure to be extra careful today, on top of the rumors I heard that the Sirius pirates are at port too."
I stopped and looked at him, "you mean the group of pirates that you were telling me about at dinner last week?" He walked towards me "yes they are dangerous please take this and keep it safe where you can reach it." He had handed me a dagger with a simple design.
It was big enough to block a weapon and cause damage but small enough where if I hide it in the back of my pants no one can tell its on me. I looked at my Grandpa and I could tell he was worried.
"Grandpa please don't worry. I won't let anything happen to me and maybe the Sirius pirates aren't really bad people. I think people just judge them because they are pirates."
"But you are such a reckless child sometimes I really worry about you" My mother was smiling as she said this and put her hand on my Grandpas shoulder. "But you are also brave and I am proud of you for that. Please be safe" and in hearing that I set foot for the bar not realizing that this was the last I would see of them for a very long time.
