Chapter Two: Trying To Remember

I remember crying for a long time, before falling back into my world of sleep, where Mother was alive, I know my Father and that the women never existed. When I woke, it was dark, with only a candle in the middle of the room, making the room have a reasonable amount of light. I check the position of the moon, something that my Mother taught me when I was a little girl. Judging by the time of year and the position of the moon, it is around ten. I sigh before quietly getting dressed in the clothes the lady left on the foot of my bed. It wasn't long before I realized I had to wear a corset. I quickly look in the full mirror. I look like I am fourteen; no wonder she set me out a corset.

I look at the offensive garment before leaving it on the bed. I quietly walk down the wooden stairs to try and find the lady who helped me. When I reach the bottom, there was a room with a rocking chair, four wooden chairs, a guitar and a piano. There is also some knitting on the wooden chair and a basket of wool with another pair of needles.

Even to this day I can remember the colours of the wool, green, white and black. My favourite colours. I can remember most of what happened during my stay there, it is what has kept me sane when the childish girl with blonde hair, oh so different to his, and crimson eyes forces my body into complete agony, while the three men that we have struggled so hard to work in harmony with torture me for information. However, there is only so much I can handle before I either go insane, tell them everything or they grow bored, give up and kill me.

The knitting needles look so tempting, but I leave them there and walk towards their kitchen and out the door to the front porch. I sigh as I see a large farm with a stable to the far left and fields of grass to my right and straight ahead, with thick trees in the distance. I smile as I hear the cricket's song before sitting down on the large, wooden stairs, smoothing out my skirts. I keep my boots hidden as I place my legs under my skirts, folding them so I am sitting just off them, leaning my head on the wooden post. Another rocking chair is next to me, however, this one is much older and looks like it is about to fall apart.

The moon is full and large in the sky as the stars decorate it large, black area around it. It is truly the most amazing this I have seen.

"Blue moon.

I saw you standing alone

Without a dream in your heart

Without a love of your own." I sing softly.

I feel someone sit next to me. I turn to see the lady, who is smiling softly.

"I noticed the remaining piece of clothing on your bed." She chuckles. "I cannot say I am an admirer of them myself."

"I am against them." I say softly. "I am grateful you didn't leave stockings there either."

"Against them as well?" I nod once. "So, what is your name?" She asks casually as she places the candle on the post next to my head, the one I am leaning on.

"Alexandrina. Alexandrina Jade Johnson." I answer quietly.

"Alexandrina." She whispers, slowly running her hand through my hair. "How about we shorten it? Alex?" I think over it.

"I like Allie, but Alex is nice too." I finally decide.

"Allie can be what we call you around home." She nods.

"What is your name, Miss?" I ask politely.

"Oh! How silly of me! I am Evelyn, but everyone calls me Eve." I smile at her.

"You have a family?" I ask. Her face hardens.

"I did have a husband, three boys and a girl, now I just have a girl and a boy." I touch her upper arm in an attempt to comfort her. "Charles, Henry and John went riding out in the far fields, just beyond those trees. Something spooked the horses and the boys were trampled on, Charles drowned in the river after being dragged down a road for a few miles." She starts to tear up. "If it wasn't for the fact we could identify Henry and John, we would not have known who was who and which name to put on each gravestone." I hug her tightly. After about five minutes she calms down. "What about your family?" I sigh as I try to think of an answer.

"My Mother and Father had a…disagreement of sorts while they were still engaged. Father walked out on us before I was born, they weren't married. Well, that's what I have been told, my cousins seem to hate me for existing and it has always been just me and my mother." I sigh before looking outside. "Before Grandmama died, she told me that my genes on my father's side were dark, and before Grandpapa died, he said a lot of blood was spilt the day I was conceived." I look at her, trying to keep my tears from falling. "I inherited my Grandmama's journal, but I haven't gotten the courage to read it yet." I give her a watery smile. "You remind me of her. She had a portrait of when she was sixteen, when she first met Grandpapa, you look just like her." She chuckles lightly.

"I am hardly sixteen." I laugh.

"But you certainly look it." I smile at her before frowning.

"What is it Allie?" Eve asks.

"Where am I going to go?" I ask quietly.

"Do you have any relatives?"

"None that will take me in." I answer back softly.

I groan and move to the side, tears falling down my cheeks as I remember Eve, my adoptive mother. She took me in that day. Her family, twins August and Charles, accepted me straight away. I swallow and curl into a small ball as the stone door slams shut. My lips tighten and my eyebrows furrow, before I relax and let out a small laugh, my once boiling blood now cool as ice. Cold sweat runs down my back when I blink twice, trying to remember. Fear burns into me, cold as if someone tipped liquid nitrogen over me, as I realize, remembering my past would be harder than I though.

AN: I know it is short, and I apologize, but at least now you guys have a second chapter. I will update when I can.
