Chapter 3
I held my breath as I waited for them to tell me what happened to my parents.
I mean what's the worst that could have happened right?
"They are…uh… dead."
Oh, so that's the worst that could happen.
And then suddenly, like out of the blue, I felt this tugging in my chest. Like someone was ripping my heart out.
But I couldn't understand it, was I close to my parents?
The officers and doctor exchanged glances with each other.
"Are you upset?"They asked.
"I...I don't know." I replied uncertainly.
Was I?
"I think I'm upset I never got to know them but other than that, I'm ok".
Right?
"And…uh… miss swan, we need to tell you some other things about your parents. The reason they got killed", said officer Jasper.
"Can you give us a moment", asked Officer Emmet, addressing the doctor.
After the doctor exited the ward, the officers gave me their full attention.
"Well?"
"We... Uh..,"the y exchanged glances, "we found out who they really were."
"They weren't doctors as they presumably told you, "said Emmet.
"They were actually undercover scientists who were working for a criminal named James Croaky."
"Against their will of course," Jasper said reassuringly to me after seeing the expression on my face.
"Well what does that have to do with me?"I asked.
"We need the doctor", Emmet concluded.
The doctor re entered the ward.
"We need you to explain," they said in unison.
He sighed."Ok"
"Well... The reason you're here is that u were there when your parents got killed."
"Really?" I said. I shuddered at the thought.
"Well while you were there, the police managed to ask you if you had seen the assassins face before you blacked out." (A/N I didn't write that in my previous chapter)
"Did I?"I asked softly.
"Yes".
I struggled to see if I remembered anything, but I couldn't remember anything at all!
Not even life before my parents was killed.
"Why can't I remember?"
"Well," they all exchanged a long look again before responding.
"I did some tests and they all came out correctly. I'm afraid you have amnesia."
Amnesia? The disease thing that makes you lose your memory?
So that explains why I can't remember anything.
Unsurprisingly, that didn't make me feel any better.
"So what do you want from me?"I asked now with more force.
"It's not what we need from you, "said Jasper.
"It's what you need from us," said Emmet, completing the sentence for him.
"How so?"
"We know how James works. If he saw you catching a glimpse of him or one of his men, He'll hunt you down. He'd want to make sure you were dead and not tell the police anything. "Said Emmet.
"So we want to offer you protection. At least until you get your memory back. Until then, we have to place you under constant supervision."
I needed time to register all this. First my parents were assassinated, now I'm being hunted down by some crazy criminal?
I just sighed. I needed this protection if it meant keeping me alive.
"Ok, I need the protection."
For the first time since they got here, the two officers beamed.
"Excellent!" they exclaimed.
"I'll just get the preparations ready."Said Jasper.
Wait a second. Preparations? Am I like moving outside the state?
"Wait!" I exclaimed.
"Yes?"
"Are you moving me outside the state?"
"Well that was kind of the point," said Jasper.
"But... But… I don't know anyone outside the state. Where am I going to live? And who's this woman that's going to protect me?"
"That's what I meant by preparations. Don't worry; we are going to get you a whole new identity. And who said it was a girl who was protecting you," he said, arching his eyebrows?
Before I could say anything else the officers left the ward, leaving me curious as to who was going to protect me.
I hope it's someone young, I thought as I drifted off to sleep, after an exhausting day.
A/N: So that's it! Sorry i didn't upload a new chapter last night. Fanfic wasnt working at all!
So hope you like it.
Here's the deal, I want at least three more reviews if you want me to update the next chapter (I know, I'm that desperate).
Pretty please?
