CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO: (Episode 2) SKYLAR. . .
Unknown ?️
“Skylar. . . Skylar. . . ” Called a calm voice from behind. Turning to look, a figure, step after step approaches towards her.
Confused of her surrounding, she stared frustrated at the figure. And the first thing she let out of her mouth was,
“Where am I?”
“Skylar, it’s been so long. How have you been?” Asked the figure. But at that moment, Skylar stood rather confused than to give an answer.
“Who are you? What am I doing here?”
Surprised, yet confused at the same time, the figure stared worriedly at her. “What happened to you, Skylar? We’re here… in California. We’re in your house. Take a look around, it’s your home. Don’t you remember? ”
Skylar shook slowly, ” I don’t remember anything. Who are you? Why do you call me Skylar? How did I get here? ”
” Skylar, it’s me. I’m your best friend, Vera. And… That’s your name, Skylar Crescent. We’ve been friends since our last grade at college. We’ve been like friends, sisters, and we’re colleagues too at your hospital. This,” she pointed around, ” is your imagination. ”
” How is that possible?”
“Because this was your last thoughts before you fell asleep. You wanted to know your name. You desperately wanted a reason for your loss of memory ”
” Do you have the answers? ”
” Not all. But I can only tell you a few, if you are really ready to hear them. ”
She nodded, ” I am. Tell me. ”
” After our last day at college, you met this guy his name is Marco. Then, we had to go our separate ways to face our future, only to end up meeting again after you opened your hospital. ”
” I was a doctor? ”
” You are. ” She corrected, ” You got engaged to Marco and he promised to Wed you in months later, which actually didn’t go well ”
” Why?” She asked, ” what happened? ”
” You had a toxic relationship with him. Had you beaten all the time, gave you a scar on your forehead and ended up breaking up with you. You also got a work at the hospital downtown. Van Nuys psychiatric hospital. ”
” I’m a psychiatrist too? ”
” No, just got a job to take care of a patient. The world’s most wanted murderer. . . Logan Greene. Do you remember him? ”
” No. ” She shook.
” And… “She said with a pause, ” we had a quarrel because of your patient. You said you were in love with him and I h@ťěd it. I got angry and wanted you to break up with him but you refused… because you couldn’t. ”
Skylar listened carefully as she told her everything. It was more like a movie playing at her front, hearing her memories like a story.
“So…”
“We reconciled. But, on the other side, Donald had to send you to Shaman to pick some herbs for him. ”
” Where is Shaman? ”
” I don’t know, but I’ve heard a lot about this village. You told me, to be precise. You were meant to be in Shaman for a week, it’s more than a week now and you’ve never returned. “She sighed, ” where have you been? ”
” I don’t know the place but it’s called a fortress. I’m losing it, Vera, I can’t even think through what you’ve just told me. I’m trying, Vera, I really am. ”
” You don’t have to push it too much, it’s only a matter of time. ”
” What happened between me and Logan? Did,,, I broke up with him too?”
Vera shook with a small smile, ” you never did. ”

She slowly opened her eyes, staring around her room.
She kept repeating her name like it was the last thing she ever want to forget. For two weeks now, she has lived without her name. Not able to spell or pronounce it.
Skylar Crescent… That’s her name.
She stood at the garden for half of the day, thinking over her encounter with her best friend.
“How could I have forgotten your name? How could I have forgotten who you are? Vera… Vera. ”
A hand rested on her shoulder. Just as if Tina had read her mind and knew an accompany is what she wanted at the moment.
“What’s wrong?” She asked, worried.
“Nothing.”
“It’s all over your face, you can’t lie to me. Is it about your memories? Do you remember anything? ”
She nodded.
” You remember your name? ”
She nodded again, ” My name is Skylar… Skylar Crescent. I had a friend too, she was like a sister to me. She came to me in my dream, she told me everything… “She looked down, ” but not all. I have to remember. I have to remember everything. They’re a lot I’m forgetting, a lot about me. The people I know, the people I’ve loved, who I am, what I am. I have to remember them all! ”
” You will. ”
Skylar turned to her, ” when? How long? ”
” That’s a question you have to ask yourself. Just as you remembered your name, you’ll remember the others. ”
Skylar ?️
The evening wind blew to my skin, sending cold shivers to my spine.
God knows how much I have tried to remember everything. Maybe Vera and Tina are right, I don’t have to rush too forward to remember everything.
I walked back to the castle into my room. Memories flashing in my mind but still connected to my dream. I wish it was something else, something different from what Vera told me.
I wish. . .
As I passed through the hallway which led to my room, I heard the sound of a door open. Like someone tip-toed into a room for a hide-and-seek game. Catching my attention, I turned.
“That door?” I mentally pointed at the room.
It was one of the rooms Tina had told me not to go. But, who might have walked in there? Was I thinking too much not to have noticed?
I looked around to check if someone was watching too… It was just me alone in the long silent hallway.
In one thought I wanted to walk towards the room, and another restricting me from going further.
I’ll have to go, but maybe not just now.

What room is she talking about?
