Hey guys xD thanks for the reviews and I hope you enjoy this chapter!
A shiver went down my spine as he spoke those words; Why not? My eyes flickered to his and I saw he felt the same thing, fear. Why not us, four people who knew nothing about themselves never mind each other. Did whoever put us here purposely wipe our memories or was there an accident which gave us amnesia. I hope for the second one, that way there would not be somebody to fear and there's a chance we would regain our memories. We had been here around eight hours, I had worked out as the sun moved through the sky before the moon emerged from the shadows of space. I had no idea how I worked that out, it came as a natural instinct.
"Can we talk about something else?" I almost pleaded Tucker, I just wanted to stop thinking about what had happened. We needed to survive which I guess sitting around on a small beach didn't help. Sat on a beach with him. That's another unsure thing I wanted rid of, this familiar feeling with Tucker. When I think about him or I am near him, it feels like I knew him before. Did he feel the same way?
"Sure, what do you want to talk about?"
TOM SYNDICATE
THE GREEN MAN
In the distance a sheep bleated, waking me up as though it was an alarm clock. At least I must of thought it was as a I waved my hand around searching for the snooze button. When I had finally realised that no, this was not an alarm clock but an actual living creature I stopped. In fact why was there a sheep? I was pretty sure I had never owned a sheep in my life, in fact I don't remember my life. My eyes flashed open to a small clearing in front of myself and the tree I was sat up against. Had I just fallen asleep here? I spotted the sheep a short distance away, grazing on long strands of greenery. Aren't sheep meant to be in herds?
No one had noticed the fact that I had green skin, in fact I hadn't noticed. In all the madness I had barely noticed I was hardly even human, what exactly was I? The questions swirled round my head like a tornado and it took a lot to push them to the back of my mind. So many questions in less than a day. Plus I couldn't push back the panic feeling in my stomach, no matter how hard I tried. "Tom?" My daydreaming eyes ignored the hand waving in my face, "Tom!" A much louder and sterner voice snapped me out of it, and I met the gazes of three concerned faces staring back at me. "Are you okay?" Jordan furrowed his eyebrows worriedly, tilting his head slightly. It seems out of all of us he was being the most calm person, trying to look at the important stuff and not the panic. It suited him.
"Y-yeah!" I shook my head before waving him off and forcing a smile. Of course I wasn't okay, but I had to be brave I can't show any weaknesses, even if I did trust these people. "I'm fine, just zoned out. What were you saying?" I asked.
"We were just discussing what to do, I was going to go work on seeing if I can forage some food perhaps. Hopefully there won't be anything eatable here." Was he reply, he was already thinking about the survival of the group, but so was I.
"I'll look for shelter, maybe here's a tree we can sleep in for when it gets dark. Or anywhere safe at least." We both turned to Sonja and Tucker.
Sonja spoke first, "Can I just be left alone for a while? I promise I'll help out soon I just need to…" she let her sentence run out of words before dropping her gaze. I wonder how she's feeling? To wake up in not only a place without your memories, but to the injured. Did the injury happen here or before? The panic in my stomach flipped like a pancake.
"Yeah," Tucker spoke before announcing his task, "I'll look just forage, see if there's anything I can find to help out with anything. Who knows what washed up on the shores or has been left behind if people were here before us." He paused, looking back to Sonja. "I may be able to find something for your arm."
All four of us nodded to each other before Jordan, Tucker and I set off back towards the centre of the island. Behind us Sonja sat back down on the sand and tucked her knees under her chin, most likely deep in thought. As we reached the top of the hill that hid the strip of sand Tucker slowed his pace. "Is it bad I feel as though I know her." This caught both Jordan and myself by surprise.
"Why would you feel that?" Jordan raised an eyebrow in question as the three of us stopped at the bottom of the hill.
"Well I don't know that's what I was asking you!" Tucker retorted, how on earth did he already know Sonja?
"Maybe you and Sonja were close before all of this?" I asked, a hand on the back of my neck. I could be right maybe they were best friends or even together before our memories got wiped. But as far as I'm concerned I'm pretty sure these guys are complete strangers.
