Chapter 4-Alexander Brennen
Sakura carried her burden, though relatively light, was still quite heavy for a girl her age. Crystal sighed, and lay her head on Sakura's shoulders. *Who is the boy I keep remembering? How do I remember him? I haven't been here ten minutes, but he's the most vivid memory!*
Suddenly, a boy walked around the corner, carrying a dozen roses. Tears were running down his cheeks. Crystal jumped off Sakura and ran. "Alex!" Sakura watched, amazed.
The boy's jaw dropped. This was his angel, his love? And the second she woke up, running to him? He smiled. "Crystal." He whispered, hugging her tightly, wishing he never had to let go.
Her cheeks were wet with tears. "I've been awake ten minutes, and all I can remember is you!" Alex sighed, still crying. "You're awake! I wish I didn't have to tell your parents..." A voice stopped him.
Then don't. He looked around. *Who said that?* His eyes fell on Sakura. No, it wasn't her, it was me. You can call me Anomalous. I've kept careful watch on your betrothed. As much as this breaks my standard, that was a lovely reunion, or first meeting. You've visited her more than anyone else, that you're all she can remember. Did you know that when she ran to you, it was the first time she'd used her legs? You're very special, Alexander Brennen.
Alex smiled. "So who's Anomalous?" Crystal smiled. "I think she's something similar to a guardian. I'll talk to a friend of hers and confirm that." Sakura smiled, and Anomalous beamed. Me, your guardian? How will you ever convince Eli? She smiled. *I have my ways...*
A nurse came around the corner. Sakura snuck into a closet, and Crystal fainted. She remembered that man...the one that had always been sneering to Alex that she'd never wake up. He'd even laughed when he'd taken her off life support. That was her first human memory of evil. She didn't remember her parents at all, which was probably for the best.
The nurse saw Alex holding Crystal, and his face stormed over. "Alex! She's wasted enough of our memory! You're not sneaking her into a new room to prolong her life!"
But then, they heard another someone pounding down the hall, towards them. The nurse rolled his eyes. "Here we go again." He muttered.
