Chapter 2

Y/n POV

...I push over some crates and barrels in a bid to buy myself some more time. With the last of my strength, I got back on my feet....

...Pieces of wood whistle past my ears as the enforcers burst through my pathetic barricade. Heart pounding in my ears, I looked for a place to hide. Another bolt hits me, sending me sprawling to the ground again....

My vision starts to get blurry, and a wave of sickness washes over me.

COME ON, Y/N. COME ON ! GET UP. (I told myself)

...Back on my feet once more, I find myself at a river bank. I stumble towards the edge, but before I can look back another jolt hits me, which causes me to slip. A strangled cry left my throat as I hit my head and plunged into the darkness of the sea....

My eyes flutter open, and I immediately squeezed them shut again. Overwhelmed by excruciating pain, I grit my teeth.

(My head, something doesn't feel right)

I can feel that I am laying on something comfy, is it a bed? But how ? I thought to myself.

Voices fade in and out. I tried to touch my head,, but I couldn't move my right arm. Using my left elbow, I try propping myself up. A hiss escapes through my teeth.

'Hey, hey. Lie back down.

Try not to move.'

I heard a voice advising me.

I asked' WH_where am I?' (My voice sounds shaky, but I can think of nothing but the excruciating pain in my head.)

' You are in a nice, warm bed . And most importantly you're safe.' The man said.

My eyes snap open , and I am able to focus atlast. I look up and meet the gaze of a striking man with an alluring smile. (Wow , I mumbled to myself).

'I was beginning to think that you'd never wake up', he said.

'H_how long has it been?' I asked.

'You, sleeping beauty have been out for two whole days.'

...(Two days O_O)...

We stare at each other for a minute.

The man speaks up breaking the silence, ' Wait , you don't recognize me do you?'

...( I think , I would remember a face like that. Surely..... I would remember someone as striking as him.)...

He speaks up again ,' Heck, I know it's been years, but..... I didn't think you would forget this face that easily . Its me Lay, your childhood friend. The one who had to carry you home when you got stuck in a swamp way past bedtime. You never did pay me back for that , by the way'. His face deepens as I fail to respond with any recognition.

...'You know Lissy?' Lay asked....

Dazed , I clutch my head. ( nothing he is saying is making any sense) Finally the realisation sets in .

' I..... I don't remember who you are. I don't remember anything' I told Lay.

Lay stares at my blankly, probably mirroring the same expression I hadon my face.

'Not even you name?', He asked.

'No, I don't .'

' You are Y/N '

'Y/N.......' ( It doesn't ring any bells)

'A classic case of amnesia. Now that's convenient .' I gaze toward the owner of the voice , he was leaning on the doorway , eyeing me with suspicion.'

...(He was also gorgeous and strikingly attractive to look at....)...

Lay told him ' Have a little sympathy,Ash'

Ash chuckles and replies ' You do realise that's rich coming from you.' He raises a knowing eyebrow.

(Is He also a childhood friend of mine too?)
