Cold Hearted

Tension Rising

Third Person

"W-Who... Who a-are you?"

Elena barely even whispered out as if anything, she looked... scared. She blinked rather rapidly and didn't seem to even be making direct eye contact with Harry, but that didn't stop his heart from stopping in its tracks. Harry could feel all the color drain from his face, he stared down at her in confused horror as this seemed far worse than anything he could've ever imagined. From what it looked like, her amnesia had struck again... this time it appeared to be that she had forgotten him,

"W-What? Ellie.... Ellie, it's m-me... it's Harry, y-yer Harry... surely... s-surely not..."

Harry muttered as he felt hot tears burning his eyes now, in shock that this could possibly be happening right now. The VKs all nervously looked at each other as they were just waiting for Elena to respond to what Harry had said, but if anything she didn't respond at all. She kept looking around with fear growing in her eyes, she raised her other hand and rubbed both ears at the same time as Harry tightened his grip around her, but to his surprise that seemed to scare her. She jumped and suddenly looked around her like a deer in headlights again, her breathing increased as Harry desperately tried to calm her down again,

"Hey hey hey E-Ellie yer alright-"

Elena suddenly kicked herself away from Harry and fell onto the floor in front of him, unfortunately landing on her wounded wrist. She quickly got off her wrist with a scream of pain and suddenly erupted into a ball of tears. Harry was quick to try to help her as she curled up on the floor and held her damaged wrist, and unknown to Harry, cried in not just pain but fear. Mal quickly stepped forward and grabbed Harry's shoulder to hold him back,

"Harry wait... don't you think this is a little odd?"

Mal quietly spoke as she looked down at Elena, Harry furrowed his brow and looked over to her with tears threatening to fall now,

"S-She's had memory issues b-before though..."

Harry muttered out, a tear finally escaping his eye which made him quickly wipe his cheek. Mal sighed and took her hand away from Harry so she could hold both her hands over Elena's head as she had covered her eyes in fear of her surroundings. Mal suddenly loudly clapped her hands right over Elena's head, and to Harry's confusion, she didn't react. Mal sighed and looked at Harry again as she brought her hands back to herself,

"Harry, she couldn't look at you straight... she couldn't look at any of us straight, she didn't answer you when you just said who you were... I think something else is wrong"

Mal had a point, for that was the first thing she had noticed. Elena had woken up with darting eyes that couldn't focus on anything and she was rubbing her ears constantly, not to mention how she didn't seem to entirely react to what was happening around her,

"E-Elena?"

Harry spoke a bit louder as he leaned over her a bit, nothing. Harry gently raised his hand to rest it on her shoulder and saw her jump and spook essentially at his touch. She looked up again and sure enough, wasn't making eye contact with Harry.

All Elena could hear was ringing, loud, obnoxious, and slightly painful ringing. When she had opened her eyes for the first time... she was spooked by the fact that it was like all she could see was blurry shapes surrounding her. Right now she just tightly shut her eyes and hoped that whatever sort of nightmare that was taunting her now would leave her be, wishing and wishing that Harry were here... as of course, she felt lost. Her vision and hearing were some of her keenest senses, the things that were supposed to be sharper than the average human, and suddenly both of those senses were obscured and weren't working right, so of course she was scared.
