Chapter 2
Baird woke a few days later feeling much better, but Maria wasn't suprised that he had lost his memories. The whole stranded camp agreed that they wouldn't help him get his memories back. Instead they gave him the name Adam and let him belive that he had always lived with them.
many times Maria would try to argue with the men, but she was of course outnumbered. So instead she promised to keep an eye on him and protect him.
It would take some time, but once again he was back on his feet. Now he was going around helping around the camp.
"Adam."
Adam turned around to see Maria heading his way, her long dark hair was pulled back in a long ponytail. In her hand she held a basket of fresh fruit.
"Maria." Adam smiled and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"You look like you've been working hard."
Adam smiled. "It looks that way, but i'ts just really warm."
Maria handed him a tall glass of water.
"Thank you."
Taking it, Adam emptied the glass quickly.
She smiled gently as she watched. "Don't be working too hard."
"No worries."
Maria took the glass and looked up at the sky. "I heard that there is a huge storm coming."
Adam looked up as well. "Yeah, that's why we have to hurry an get this all finished."
"Just don't hurt yourself."
The sound of thunder in the distance cought everybody's attention and soon everybody was looking up at the sky. Not good. By the sound of the thundar, it was goiing to be a good sized storm.
The men picked up the pace. It would't be much longer before the storm hit and if they weren't done by then, it would be a huge disaster.
Two large groups of men carried two long thick logs over and dropped them with a dull thump. Then Rob and another large group made quick work to cut and replace the damage done on the houses.
As the sun was just begining to set, the women started the fires in their wood burning stoves and begain working on getting food on the table. In no time, smoke begian to rise from the chemmines.
Just as the last bit of sun was begining to fade, the men had just finished when the dark clouds above opened up letting lose a freezing cold rain. Everybody scattered, making their way back to their homes to get out of the cold.
Adam ran through the streets, heading to his own home. The ground was quickly turning into much, making it very difficult to run.
He slipped several times, almost falling face first into the mud. Each time he sliped, his body tensed and pain shout through his body causing him to wince.
"Damn it!"
By the time he got hoje, he was completely soaked, causing his clothing to stick to his body like a second skin. Shivering he peeled offf each article of clothing and crawled into bed. His whole body ached from a full day of working.
He fell asleep quickly and drempt of people he swore he's seen before. He struggles every time to remember them, but it only brings headach. Every night since he could remember, they would visit him in his dreams, their faces, their voices all so familure. And a girl...
Soon a simple dream beacme a nightmare as large grey monsters begain to terrorize him. Screams, explosions, people screaming cring out in pain. Something also something he swears he's seen and heard before.
Like all the other times, he wakes up with a start, a scream escapes his lips and his whole body tenses, causing pain to shoot thoroughout his body. And like all the other times, he wakes up feelnig completely alone...
