LUCY POV

Whispy shadows and hushed whispers were all I could make sense of in my haze. The long road blurred as I lost control of the car and leaving it behind to find a strange, beautiful girl in the woods. Fast forward to the hospital and the overprotective woman giving me worried glances.

Where are my parents? Who are these people around me?

I thought this as I was admitted into the ER. Things moved too fast and I was thrust into a state of self-aware sleep. The doctors pondered me, the woman hovered over me, and the strange girl wouldn't leave my thoughts.

'Lucy' was what she had called.

But that wasn't right. My name is Lucky.

"O-kay this is officially wierd." I said as the grey eyed boy spoke nonsense and held my hand tightly in his. "Who are you people?" I immediatly pressed the nurse's button on the side of me.

The pretty girl, the woman, and the boy all stared at me, not noticing the perky nurse stepping aside them. "Hi sugar, my name is Amanda. I'll be your nurse for the next twelve hours until someone relieves me. Is something hurting? How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine." I stated bluntly. I meant it. The drugs they gave me numbed my pain but didn't help my confusion. "Look. I need to talk to my parents. AND if someone can point these three back towards the loony bin section of the hospital that'd be great. Funny thing, they think we know eachother."

The pale girl sobbed and I kinda felt bad. The nurse just stood there with her lips parted and swallowed. "Ms. Hamilton, you don't know these people?"

"Never met them before in my life."

"Hm." She pursed her lips and walked out the door only to reappear seconds later with a tall man who I assumed was my doctor.

"Hello, I'm Dr. Reid, Lucy how are you feeling?" He came over and flashed a light in my eyes as I scowled.

"My name's Lucky. Why's everyone calling me that?" The boy beside me looked up sharply and he became expressionless.

"Lucy-er-Lucky what do you remember before your crash?" Dr. Reid asked.

"I was at home eating some takeout when I went out on a candy run. Are my parents here yet?"

He ignored the last part as he said, "Lucky where were you headed? Tell me the exact street if you can."

"Uhhh I was going to the 7/11 on...Main and Fourth."

"You actually ended up on a stretch of road that led only to the Drake's house. It's in the opposite direction, Lucky. Hmm."

The doctor was done talking to me and turned to Amanda The Nurse. "I want an MRI done. The CT scan didn't show any brain injury but this shoud specify what we're dealing with here."

"What's wrong? I'm okay right?" I raised my voice and again all eyes were on me.

The doctor looked uncomfortable and murmured to the woman before answering me. "Lucky, I can't be certain at this time, however you have most of the signs of post-traumatic amnesia. Your parents are in Europe and meanwhile they placed you in the Drakes care but they should be back at the end of the week."

"But I spoke to them earlier on the phone they said they'd be back tomorrow morning." The strong-looking woman spoke up.

"Yes Cass mentioned speaking to you but there's a large storm and the airport is on a strict no fly zone. Helena, they won't make it until mid-week at the earliest." The doctor stated. "Mrs. Drake I'm sorry but I need to go now. You can all sort it out here but tomorrow Lucy will be discharged. Amanda will be back later to take you to a scanning room."

With those last words they left the room leaving me alone with the Drakes. There was one thing to do.

"So this is pretty awkward." I started. "I'm sorry...I was being rude earlier and I should've thanked you for finding me."

The girl was regaining some color in her cheeks and she sniffled. After sharing glances with who I assumed was her mother and brother, she shuffled closer to me.

"There's no need to thank us. But Lucy you don't remember me at all? Or any of us?"

I wanted to remember, I really did, but I was drawing a blank here. If these people really knew me wouldn't they know my name is Lucky?

"I'm sorry. Can we start with names?" I was getting a headache thinking my parents trusted strangers to care for me.

"Yes of course." She rushed. "I'm Solange. This is my mom but you call her Helena and there's Nicholas."

"Cool. So, um, Solange. Why do you all call me Lucy?"

The boy-Nicholas-laughed and then shook his head. "Oh dear God, the injustice."

Helena and Solange laughed while I sat here wide eyed. Nicholas caught my eyes and they locked. I hadn't noticed how cute he was earlier. Dark brown hair, fair skin (like Solange), but best of all he had intimate grey eyes that were wickedly hot and would make any girl's stomach flutter.

"I'll tell you that story some other time." he said as he winked at me. My cheeks flushed and I turned to Solange. She and Helena shared knowing smiles and I wondered what the story behind that was.

It amazed me how in a matter of minutes I was at ease with the Drakes. At the end of the day I was grateful for them being here. My parents were in Europe (like usual when school was out for a while...speaking of which school must be starting soon) and I could imagine how much worse I'd feel if I had awaken in a hospital with no one there to make me feel safe.

I shuddered thinking of the few moments back when I was alone in the woods. Cold, hurting and alone. No matter the awkward situation with my memory I felt okay with these people.

I'm going to be okay.

This was my last thought as the nurse carted me away for scans of my squishy internal parts.

Nicholas POV

Seeing Lucy in the hospital with no memory of us was a blessing and a curse. She obviously couldn't remember what had happened. Her kidnapping, but mostly importantly what they had done to her. I was glad she wasn't hurting or broken from whatever had happened to her.

This double edged sword, however, made it that much more impossible to track down the people behind this. Which meant she was still in danger.

When she asked why we called her Lucy, I couldn't help laughing. Selfishly I let my worries slip away meanwhile I basked in the thought that she was finally safe. I couldn't help it. After a few days of being worried sick I allowed myself to relax. In the back of my mind however, I'll always be on guard, ready to protect Lucy with my life.

After the nurse came and took Lucy, my mom didn't waste a second.

"If Lucy doesn't remember us we have to call ahead at the house so they can prepare." she said hastily. Sol and I stared at her for a second. "The blood. Tell them to clear the kitchen and secure the weapon room. We cannot have Lucy wander in there if she doesn't remeber anything about us. Nick call your father this instant."

Woah, I hadn't even thought about Lucy forgetting about the vampire thing. I rang for my dad and we spoke for a few minutes. Quickly, I explained our conundrum and heard him yell at my brothers to get to work.

"How are we going to hide this from her for a week?" Solange gasped. "Seriously, if she's even remotely the same Lucy she'll snoop and be coniving and other stuff evil people do! Not to mention she's wayyyyy to curious for her own good."

"Only one person is allowed to stay overnight so you both can head home and help around the house. No arguing. Just do it."

Solange and I groaned. But it wasn't like I could run to a nurse and say something along the lines of: This sixteen year old girl was recently kidnapped and until we find and kill the people responsible, she needs extra protection. Don't get me wrong...my mom can kick ass but still I kinda vowed to myself I would never EVER leave her unprotected. Great, so do you have a form I can fill out?

As much as it pained me to leave, I had to reassure myself she was okay. Even though the massive boulder was lifted from my shoulders, there was still the phantom of it lingering in the back of my mind. I wasn't so sure it would ever go away.

And I have so many unanswered questions. Why could I hear Lucy in my head? Why'd they take her in the first place? Why was she in the woods? Why can't she remember?

These questions were locked away behind a door. A door to which Lucy held the only key.

I hope you all enjoyed! Please review/follow/favorite if you did. And I'll see ya next time :)

P.S. Based on the poll and the PMing I will not be posting the one shots until further notice :p But that will eventually be published I promise. Thanks for all the positive feedback on that, I really appreciate it! Ciao.
