I consider this a pretty darn fast update. Don't you? Okay.... maybe not.
I've wanted to do a little more on this side of Ann for a while so, I hope you enjoy!

I stared at the white wall in front of me, as I had been doing since I woke up.
I heard a click from behind me and turned slowly around, yanking down my hospital gown, it was too short for me.
A dark haired man in a white coat walked in smiling. It was fake, I could tell just by looking. It was like a finely carved mask, carefully sculpted and unfaltering.
He kneeled down in front of me and put a hand on my shoulder. "My young lady, I'm terribly sorry..."
He didn't look sorry.
"For what?" I tilted my head to the side, hoping it could clear the fog in my head.
His mask almost fell off. I saw the startled expression underneath for a moment. "Well for, for your parents sweetie."
I blinked in confusion. "My parents? Who are they?"
His mask slipped off entirely now, a rather serious face taking it's place. I imagined the smiling mask falling to the floor and shattering. "Sweetheart, What's your name?"
My name? Wouldn't he already know that? I thought hard, but...
"I don't know."
It felt a little eerie. This was how eerie felt right? A little squeamish, my eyes blurring the world in front of me.
Something warm slid down my cheek, I stuck my tongue out as it fell off my nose. Salty...
"Oh, don't cry, We'll figure it out honey I,"
"What is cry?"
He looked at me incredulously.
"Is it these things falling from my eyes? Why am I crying? Is there a reason for it?"
The man stood up and gently took my hand. "Would you follow me please."
He walked out of the room leading me gently behind him.
He spoke to one of the nurses as he passed. "Prepare an MRI immediately, I will pay for it."
The nurse looked at him with an expression of shock. I wondered why, but then she was gone.
*************************************************************
I sat staring, again. But this wall had a pattern. Pink and blue, like someone had taken a paintbrush and slid it randomly around the wall.
I heard the people in white talking in the hall outside my door.
Right now it was the man who had talked to me before they put the plastic over my mouth and I fell asleep. "According to the MRI there is nothing physically wrong with her."
Another, deeper voice butted in. "And yet you have made no progress in the last week."
Another warm female voice joined the mix. The pretty lady who had been talking to me, telling me things, such as, my name was Ann, and my parents, were dead. "I believe it's due to shock. Because she saw her parents death. It may have been so horrible for her that her mind just, disconnected all the neurons that held any memories related to her life."
Neurons? Disconnected? I didn't know what hose words meant, but it made me feel weird. Was there something wrong with me?
I flexed my hand and kicked my leg. My body seemed to work right. I didn't see anything wrong.
Maybe it wasn't true. Maybe they were talking about someone else.
The deep voice spoke again. "We can't keep her here, she has no money. It's locked in a trust until she turns eighteen, only enough for her to live on is taken out at a time. That doesn't include a stay at the hospital and I don't intend to take in strays."
Strays? Was I a stray? Why?
"I will allow you one year to attempt to reconnect her neurons or whatever. But no more. And she will be put in the nearest Orphanage I can find."
"Why?" The lady sounded sad. "She doesn't belong there."
The deep voice snorted. "Why not she's an orphan now, isn't she?"
My eyes widened. I didn't know what an orphanage was, but I could tell well enough what this man thought of me. I jumped off the bed and ran towards the door.
I shoved it open using all of my weight and ran through the small crowd outside my door.
"Ann!" The lady called after me.
I ignored her. I wanted to keep running. I wanted to run away, from all of this.
If I kept running, would I run into my memories?
