Chapter 5

"I am very disappointed in you, why would you lie to us?" Dad asks firmly. His tone comes out rather sharp.

"here is your ticket sir" The cop comes up to him, giving him a white slip of paper. Oh no, how could I do this, I am so dumb, and so stupid.

"Inside now" Nodding my head I walk inside, I can see the fume radiating out of my mom's face as she sits on couch. Fiddling with my fingers I sigh, I can't even look at my mom. I can feel the heat all the way from here.

Once my dad finished talking, he makes his way inside the house slamming the door shut. I wince in fear. My eyes finally take the courage to both look at them, "why?!" Mom says sternly.

"I hadn't realized I was driving that far mom, I am so sorry, I am very sorry please, please don't torture me" I almost sob out loud and quickly. What did I just say?

"you just said something" Dad points out.

"It just fumbled out of my mouth" I gulp. Is my memory really going to come back soon. I burry my face in my hands, a groan escaped my lips as I hear my parents discuss on what they should punish me off.

"I am putting you in your driving course" They both say together. My head pops up, scanning them. Really? Is that it, oh thank god.

I nod my head solemnly and make my way upstairs.

A smile tugs up my lips, only for a moment until I think of what I said earlier. What would happen if I remember things again? What if I was a whole different person, what if I didn't live here? What if I had a different - family... I gulp nervously, feeling my head ache. Okay, I need to stop thinking. Upon approaching my room, I decide to go towards my window. Staring out the window, I let out a sigh.

"Seraphina sweetie, you have a doctor's appointment, please get ready" Mom says out of nowhere. Something feels weird, all of a sudden I just feel so incomplete, why am I feeling so lonely, what is happening to me.

"mom..." I mutter out quietly starting to feel my body shiver. "Mom!" I scream, my knees weaken, I bent down as feeling some sort of pain rush through my body. My eyes start to beam in tears, "help, what's happening!" I scream louder. My eyes shut slowly.

Why can I not open my eyes?! I could feel someone carrying me but I can't open my eyes. Ugh, what is happening. I could hear the car rushing through the street, I could hear my parents talking, I could hear my surrounding but I can't feel my body at all. Hello, mom can you hear me. What's the use I can't even move my lips or feel anything.

My eyes finally snap open as I can slowly feel my body again. I groan in annoyance as I find myself back at my hospital in my doctor's bed. Wincing in pain, I feel a long needle inserting in my flesh. "what is this?" I ask. Eyes a long needle with a blue liquid.

"Glad you are awake, It is wolfsbane" Dr. David sighs. What the heck is a wolfsbane?! "Uhm, yes as you might be thinking it is used on wolves who are very ill, but actually allows us to treat those who are going through memory loss" he speaks again realizing the fear written all over my face.

Nodding my head, I watch as the blue liquid ingested into my body. My eyes slowly widen, as I can feel myself feeling much better than before. "Dr. David, please tell me what is really going on with me" I mumble. I don't know but I feel like he is hiding something from me. "you know I am scared to get my memory back" I blurt out what I've always wanted to say. "I'm scared if what I think will be true, if those aren't my real family, if I don't live here, what if I was married?! What is I had a boyfriends, what if that family is looking for me...! you know, i don't want to go through this! The fact I felt so ill scared me, I have no idea what is going on" tears roll down my eyes.
