Forget It
Chapter 19: What's going on here?
"Sarah, is that you?" the man asked.
Jill shook her head. "Who's Sarah?"
Skye stepped in front of his wife. "I believe you have the wrong person, sir."
"I believe I don't. My name's Brian, by the way. And yours are…?"
"I'm Skye, and my wife is Jill."
"Jill, how long have you lived here?"
The brunette stared at Brian. "About a year. Why?"
"Why are your eyes purple?"
"I was born that way."
"Who are your parents?"
"…" Jill was stumped. She couldn't remember. Why couldn't she remember?
"Jill, you've been missing for a year from your real home. Your eyes are purple because of a lab accident. Your parents are missing you like crazy. And you're married?"
She nodded slowly and patted her belly. "I'm pregnant as well."
"You were my girlfriend before you vanished. How did you vanish?"
"I… I don't know. All I remember is a bright green light and all of a sudden I was here. All I really knew was that my name was Jill." She unconsciously rubbed the long scar down her left arm.
"But your name is Sarah. Let me take you back home to your parents. They won't be too happy about the baby, but I suppose they'll deal." Brian reached around Skye and grabbed the brunette's arm.
The former thief snatched the teen's arm. "Let go of my wife. You seem like a nice enough sort, but I'll hurt you if I have to."
Jill pushed her husband's arm away gently. "I can deal with this, honey. I'm stronger than you, remember?"
He nodded.
"Brian, sir, please leave. You are disturbing my household, and I need to rest. If my parents want to visit me, you'll have to tell them where I live. Good day." With that, she shoved Brian out the door and slammed it shut, locking it.
