Sally's Amnesia Chapter 4
Sorry it's been so long since I last updated! I've been busy and I'm sure laziness also has something to do with it. ;)
"Why am I back here again?" Sally asked with a hint of annoyance in her voice as she was being led back to the Skellington Manor.
"Because you live here now," Jack stated.
"Since when?"
"Since... a while."
He brought her over to the sofa where they both took a seat beside each other.
"How much do you still remember?"
"I only know that I was living with Doctor Finklestein."
"That's it? Nothing else?"
"No, not really," Sally then looked away from Jack while trying desperately hard to remember more. "All I can really remember is my early days living with Doctor Finklestein and him not allowing me to go out anywhere. That's why I don't know you..or anyone else, for that matter."
Jack could see she was trying to think about it but was really struggling to remember anything else. He reached out a bony hand and rested it on her cheek, where he made her look at him.
"It's okay, Sally. I'll explain everything to you," Jack said softly as he gazed into her beautiful eyes.
Sally smiled slightly and nodded, allowing him to continue.
Jack grinned. "Okay, well first I'll tell you who I am. I am Jack Skellington, Pumpkin King of Halloween Town."
"The king?" Sally's eyes widened slightly.
Jack nodded. "But I'm not conceited or anything like that," He paused and thought about it. "At least I don't think so."
Sally giggled and as continued to gaze at him, she couldn't help but feel something. It was a happy feeling and that's all she knew. In fact, she never wanted it to go away. Was he the reason she was feeling this way?
"And I am also your husband."
So that explains it. She's married to him which is why she feels this way.
'I'm married to a King!' She thought to herself happily.
There was silence for a moment before Sally asked, "How long have we been married?"
"Just over a year," Jack replied with a small smile on his face.
Sally nodded. "Oh. And is this where I've been living for all that time?"
"Yes, of course! Where else would you be?" Jack's smile broadened.
Sally suddenly frowned and lowered her eyes to the ground sadly.
Jack's smile immediately disappeared when he noticed how upset Sally looked. "What's wrong?"
"I'm so sorry, Jack. I've forgotten pretty much everything. I hope you don't change your mind about us and leave me."
She was close to tears now and that was when Jack knelt down in front of her and lifted her chin up to make her look directly at him.
Seeing her like this was breaking Jack's non-existant heart.
"There's no need to apologise, okay? This isn't your fault at all, and I would NEVER leave you. You must always remember that. I love you."
Sally's expression changed to hopeful. "Really?"
"Of course. Don't ever doubt that." Jack said in a firm, yet soft tone.
The corners of Sally's mouth lifted slightly. "Okay. Thank you for that reassurance, Jack."
"I speak only the truth to my Queen." Jack mock bowed which caused Sally to giggle softly.
To be continued...
It's not over yet, another chapter or so left I think. And please review! :)
