Reader's POV

"The reward I want... is your family.
Your family is most important to you... so I want your family."
they said.

"W-What? Does that mean you'll kill and eat my family?"
I asked.

"No. I can't kill you or your family, and I don't intend to. Don't worry. All of the children can live and go to the human world,"
it said.

"Then..."

"But you'll say goodbye to your family."
it added.

"Your past memories and future connections. Everything. 
I'll take your family from your world. That's the reward. I'll grant your wish... But in return... you'll never see your family again."

I took a deep breath. 
For them...

I took a deep breath, then smiled.
"Okay."

~Dream.~

I heard chuckling. 
"I love youuu,"
the person sang. 

What does that mean...?
I couldn't see their face. 

They're... warm. 
And happy.

Who?
They were drifting away.

My eyes widened.
"Come back! I don't- don't leave!
what does that mean? Who are you?"
I asked.

My heart sunk. 

.

My eyes fluttered open, I had a massive headache.

"You awake? Where'd you come from? Why were you out there?"
a man... an old man asked.

I looked at him with wide and confused eyes. 
Who is this...?
What is he talking about?

"I... I don't know."
realization dropped onto me.
"Why was I... Where did I... I can't remember,"
I told him.

"What's your name?"
he asked.

I stared at my feet with wide eyes, I didn't know.
"I... I don't know it."

"Where'd you come from?"
he asked.

I stayed silent, simply shaking my head.

"Your parents?"
parents?

I didn't say anything, I wanted to cry.
Why didn't I know?

"What were you doing out there, without a mask and wearing such light clothing?"
he asked.

I shook my head once more.
"I-I'm so sorry..."

"No need to apologize..."
he told me.

"Well, you're not hurt. I'm glad you're okay. 
There are no villages nearby, and we don't have signal up here. I can't call for help until spring,"
he said.

"I can offer you food and a place to sleep. You might remember eventually. Don't rush, just rest,"
he said.

I nodded slightly.
"Th-... Thank you."

Then I looked around, my eyes went wide and I stumbled back out of the chair.

"What's wrong?"
he asked.
