I'm not sure how I found myself there.

A little girl found me, said I was drifting in the ocean, clutching onto a plank for dear life.

I couldn't remember anything, not even my name.

"Red," the little girl named Rika said to me. I didn't know what she was talking about until she explained. "That will be your name until you remember your name." I suppose it made sense. My hair is red, my eyes..., well one of them,red, clothes red, everything red. Plus, I had this band on my bicep that had 'Lil' Red' stitched into it. I owed her and her mother for helping me and providing me with food and shelter.

"I think Red suits you," Ririka, Rika's mother said as she continued to clear some glasses. I nodded, and told Rika thank you for the name.

"Would you like me to help you?" I asked Ririka. She paused her cleaning before smiling.

"If you would be a dear and help with dishes. We had more people than usual tonight."

"Yeah, since those stupid marines came, we haven't had any customers."

"Rika!" Her mother scowled in fear that someone would over hear. I began to silently wash the dishes as Ririka tended to a customer.

Night time came and it had mark the forth night I had been on the island. The first two days I had been passed out, recovering from starvation and dehydration. I learned that I had this strange feeling when night came. Somehow, I felt the most alive.

Sneaking out of the house, I made my way to the area of trees closest to the home. I didn't enter the forest area though. The darkness made me feel weird. When I stepped on shadows, I felt like something slithering up my legs. Sitting on the ground, staring at the trees, I hear a low growl rumble. It wasn't a threatening growl, more like a playful one.

Sit.

Stare.

When I finally felt like I was ready to sleep, I got up and turned my back on the moon. My shadow clearly outlined by the light of the full moon. It was strange how it stretched out so far. A curious thought crossed my mind.

What is it like to be a shadow?

I thought of it like another person, connected to another being through the soles of their feet.

Blink.

I swore that my shadow waved. Standing there, I waited. Nothing happened, until I thought about it waving again. It did so and the other shadows around began to wiggle and wave, as if dancing. I was scared and took off running. Slipping back into the guest room Ririka was letting me stay in, I hid under the covers. Closing my eyes, I thought of nothing more than to sleep.

Sheets of yellow rays sifted through the window and brought it's warmth to my face. Upon opening my eyes, I was greeted by a smiling Rika. She held the largest grin and held something behind her back.

"Look at what I found! I think it's yours." She set a damp bag on the ground and I shifted to a sitting position on the bed. "I'm lucky I found it before those marines did." I gave her a grateful smile before picking the bag up. It wasn't really heavy, but there was some weight to it. I undid the knot and reached inside. The first thing I pulled out was a rather nice looking journal. Again, Lil' Red was on the cover, but when I opened it up, most of the pages were soaked and all the writing was smudged. One of the pages though, had a curious drawing on them. It was of a strange looking fruit that looked like a melon that had some swirls embedded in it. Rika looked at it curiously before looking at me.

"I think I've seen something like that in a book my grandpa had. I'll go get it." With that, the little girl took off out of the room. I continued my search through the bag. There was another red shirt like the off the shoulder one I was wearing now and instead of red shorts, there was a red skirt. Something hard stubbed my fingers when I reached in again. I pulled out a picture frame. My eyes went wide as I looked at the picture.

There were three people. One was a little girl with bright red hair in a side pony tail. She had a big grin on her face as she held onto the hands of the two others. She wore a white dress that had a red star on the bottom and no shoes.

Another figure was that of a tall woman who looked in her twenties. She smiled sweetly at the girl and her faded red hair was swept up in the breeze. She wore a pink sundress and was trying to keep her hair out of her face. The most stunning thing about her was her eyes. They glistened with a blue deeper than the ocean yet brighter than any star, with an amazing swirl of purple that fought against the blue.

The last figure was another woman, younger than the other one. Her hair was as bright red like the child's and her red eyes glistened with happiness. She was dressed in all red. A red sunhat shielded her eyes from the sun and her red dress picked up in the wind. She too, smiled down at the child.

I remembered.

I knew who they were.

I remembered who I was.

Tears escaped my eyes as I clutched the photo close to my chest.

Aunty Luca...

Mom.
