I was surrounded by darkness unable to tell what was in front of . I tried opening my eyes, but sothing seed to be holding back. I could not move because my whole body was in pain. Letting out a grunt, I tried to recollect what had happened and there ca flashes of the accident Alaric and I were involved in. As if struck by lightning, I tried to open my eyes harder and move myself from wherever I was. But then, I heard that familiar voice.
"Why hasn’t she woken up yet?" It was Alaric, and from what I could hear, he was scolding soone. Huh! Even on death bed he never stops with his bossy mood. "You said she’ll be fine by morning and..."
"Always...angry." I murmured in a pretty low hoarse voice, feeling my throat burning.
Gradually, my eyes opened to the light and the white ceilings of the place which probably was a hospital considering I had been in an accident. It only took a few seconds to adjust to the brightness, and when everything was clearer, then did I see those pair of dark eyes scrutinizing my face without a blink. Rolling my eyes, I faced the other side. I had to or else he would have seen my eyes that were already tearing a little bit due to relief. Relief that he was fine.
"Can’t face now? Are you already feeling guilty or what?" His voice broke my reverie and I let out soft and low sniffs before looking at him, briefly, then faced the other said again.
"Am just sad you aren’t dead yet." I bit my lip and smacked my head inwardly, feeling stupid because of my own words. I wanted to tell him how relieved I was. That every bit I looked at him I felt like crying and jumping on him just to show him how much his safety ant to . "I’m hopelessly in love." I murmured to myself unaware I was talking loud enough for him to hear.
"You wish death for the man you hopelessly love? How romantic." His sarcastic voice made realize my mistake but still did not relent.
"And who said you are the man I love?" I retorted feeling my heart taking a leap aware it only beat for him and him only.
I was about to compose myself when I felt Alaric lean closer to , and placed his hands on the sides of the hospital bed locking in between. He had this sinister smile that sent shivers down my spine, which made want to escape from his cage. Before I could even ask what was happening, he lifted his right hand and placed it lightly above the left side of my chest. "Your heart," then touched my lips, "Your lips," then travelled down to my neck tracing it up and down, making freeze, "And your body. They scream how much you love ."
Silence took over as we got lost in each other’s gaze, and only ca back when soone cleared their throat behind us.
"Mr. Nightveil, I would like to check on the patient." The doctor, probably the one whom Alaric was shouting at earlier, spoke up facing down.
From his red face, I could guess he had seen all that. A blush crept on my face as well before glaring at Alaric who had stepped aside to give way to the doctor.
"How do you feel?" The doctor added checking out so things I could barely understand.
"Apart from the splitting headache, I feel okay." I replied honestly, which made also think how that could be possible. How co I had no serious injury comparing the accident we had? Not only that, Alaric seed like nothing, and I an absolutely nothing had happened to him. No scars on the face or any bandages. "Are we dead already?" I asked subconsciously staring at Alaric.
"Stay quiet and let the doctor do his work." Alaric brushed off and even though I did oblige, my mind was still not settled wondering how we survived.
"Do you recollect anything about your lost mories?"
I frowned at that question and shook my head saying, "Not really. Though I do feel as if I rembered sothing but am not sure what it is." I tapped my forehead lightly with knuckles trying as much to recall what I was forgetting.
"Don’t stress if you don’t rember. It might be harmful to your health." The doctor said and I nodded in agreent, but I still could not shake off that feeling of forgetting sothing important. "For now, you need to rest well and take your dication. If by tomorrow there’s improvent then you’ll be discharged."
The doctor left after a few instructions, and now only Alaric and I were left in the room. "Where were we?" I asked boldly, sitting in a comfortable position. "Co here, I have sothing I want to ask you." I patted the space beside and surprisingly, Alaric sat down, though I could feel his mood had drastically changed.
"Who are you?" His question ca before I could even ask what I wanted.
"Who am I? You don’t rember ? ...Oh no! Don’t tell you have amnesia and I’ll have to reintroduce myself, make you fall in love with again..."
"Ravenna!" That got . Him calling my na ant he was being serious and was not suffering from amnesia either.
"Okay, I’ll stop it. But what do you an by asking who I am?" I narrowed my eyes thoughtfully. "Or is it part-ti amnesia? Forgetting in one minute and then... Is there even sothing like..."
"Ravenna!" This ti his voice sounded angry and he did scare with that look he was giving , as if he would tear down any mont if I uttered another word.
After a mont of silence, I felt him hold my hand and raised my dropped head by my chin, making look into his eyes. "What is it that you rembered about your past?"
So that was what he ant when he asked who I was? I scoffed inwardly wondering why he could not have asked that before instead of being moody and grumpy like a woman on her periods. Pft! If he could hear my thoughts, he would chop into small pieces and feed to the wolves. I sighed inwardly thankful he at least could not read minds.
"I don’t." I tried hard but all I could see were vague images of a girl in white crying, and nothing else. "I really don’t rember."
"Are you sure?" I could clearly see the doubt in his eyes but nevertheless, I nodded honestly. "If I find out you are lying..." He did not complete the statent leaving to think of what he would do to .
"Will you kill ?" And my heart broke once again listening to his threats that I knew were not just re words. He was a man who stood by his word.
"I’ll do worse." He replied before pulling closer by the chin, and planted a soft peck on my lips, taking by surprise. "So now, I want to hear you repeat what you said before you blacked out in the car."
