A gift, or a curse? That was what Clarissa wondered when she noticed her memory was gone. Knowing she belonged to the recently destroyed Shiganshina, she was leaning more on the side of it being a gift. Once she gets her memory back, will still see it as such?

22. Chapter 22

"Ms. Ackerman can you hear me?"

"Clarey! Wake up!"

"She is breathing, her pulse is weak."

"Clare! Why can't you wake up! You are alive, it isn't too much to ask for you to open your eyes!"

"Does she have any history of passing out?"

"Not that I know. Clare, please, I am begging you!"

"She is waking up!"

Clarissa opened her eyes slowly. Her head was heavy, and stuffy. She couldn't see any images clearly. But she could see an outline of three people. Her hand went up to chest to grab onto her necklace.

"Clare! You are up!" A voice said. Clarissa was too out of it to even recognize the voice of Alina. Clarissa tried to sit up but she felt like something was holding her down. Her body was so weak.

"Ms. Ackerman, can you hear me? If you can please let us know." Another voice said. Clarissa closed her eyes and nodded as much as she could move. Her head was almost too much to move. She took a slow breath then opened her eyes again. This time she could see that Alina was kneeling beside her. Tears were running down her cheeks.

"Have you passed out before?" The other voice asked again. Clarissa looked over at who it was. It was some person that was part of the jury.

"Once," Clarissa managed to say. Then she closed her eyes again.

"Why?" The woman asked.

"Nothing medical," Clarissa said. The woman nodded, but Clarissa couldn't see it.

"Okay, when was the last time you ate, or drank?" The woman asked. Clarissa took a moment to think.

"Three days, I think." Clarissa said. Then she sat up. When she opened her eyes she could tell that everyone was looking at her. Then she got a large headache. She grabbed onto her head. "Yeah, I may be dehydrated."
