CHAPTER 1: Amnesia

His face dropped and worry spread in his eyes. "It's me, Al," he said , disappointment painting on his face.

I looked at the boy, Al, blankly. "I ... Uh... Do I know you?" I felt sorry for Al, he looked sad, like I meant something to him.

Al walked towards the door of my room, and out, shouting, "Nurse!" It shut with a soft click.

I lay back on my fluffy pillow, thinking about not only what just happened but why I was in the infirmary in the first place. How did I get all these bruises? Why was- my thoughts were intruded when a doctor rushed into the room, a nurse hot at his tail.

"how are you feeling?" The doctor asked with a professional tone. I ignored his question and asked my own.

"What happened to me? Why am I in the infirmary?"

The doctor shared a worried look with the nurse beside him, leaving me yet again curious.

"What can you remember?" The doctor, who I'd now identified by a name badge as Dr Carstairs, asked.

I racked my brain for anything I could grab onto, searching into deep crevices but founding nothing.

"I uh... I can't remember anything," I replied hastily." Only waking up in this room, with the boy, Al sitting next to me."

I looked up, Dr Carstairs was scribbling something down in the file that rested in his hand. The nurse, Jesse, had had looked at me with pity from the moment she had walked in, but it only seemed to have deepened.

"What is it? Can you tell me what happened?" I asked.

This time Jesse stepped up," You were in a fight up against another initiate, being in the fighting stage of initiation-" I cut her off there.

"Wait, what? What do you mean I was in a fight? What do you mean initiation?"

They shared another worried glance, seeming to have an unspoken conversation. Jesse continued, a little more wary when she spoke, "As I was saying, you were in a fight and got pretty bashed up. You took a heavy blow to the head." She finished, giving me a sad smile.

"Okay." I nodded.

Dr Carstairs approached my bedside, pulling out a small light from his jacket pocket. He gestured for me to sit up and Jesse assisted me. A heavy wave of nausea passed over me but Jesse stopped me from slouching back down. I scooted back on the bed and she propped my pillows up behind me.

"Keep your eyes on the light," the doctor instructed. I pinned my eyes on the light in his hand and watched it as he moved it from left to right. My eyes rolled out of focus but I pointed them forward again, ignoring the pain in my head.

Dr Carstairs stepped back, pushing the light pen back into his pocket. "Can you tell me the date?" He asked.

I wasn't sure if the question was directed at me or the nurse, but I answered anyway." August... Uhhhh... Fourteenth?" I asked back.

He wrote something down on my file again. He looked up with silver eyes "Sorry, it's actually September twenty seventh. Can you tell me your full name?"

"Beatrice... Beatrice Prior I think." I replied.

"Good, that's a start. Well Beatrice, I'm sorry to say that we believe that you are suffering amnesia, or memory loss. We don't know how long it will last, but given you took a strong blow to the head and didn't damage anything vital, we think that it's only short term" he finished.

I gazed up at him, shock on my face but also realization, at least it was most likely short term. At least I will remember thinks again. Won't I?

"Now," Dr Carstairs cut in, "I would like you to get some rest, get some sleep. I will send Jesse or one of the other nurses to check on you and bring food in couple of hours. Do you need anything?"

"No. And thank you." I felt my face form into a soft smile, momentarily erasing the pain in my head.

They both smiled back. "Our pleasure." Dr Carstairs said as he and Jesse exited the room.

I found myself falling into a deep, soothing sleep. Pushing all my worries and pain away, I let my eyes flutter closed...
