Forgotten Memories.

Dreams

I lay there watching William move to get wood and place it in the fire. I admired the way his muscles moved and flexed as he picked it up, put the wood in the fire, and then moved back to watch the fire blaze to life. Once he was satisfied, he turned back to me, I caught his beautiful blue eyes. They seemed to stand out almost aglow in the fire light.

The sight made my heart rate speed up. I had to take a deep breath, trying to control my heart from beating out of my chest.

Damn, he was pretty for a man. I don't know if I have ever seen anyone like him before. He walked toward me and asked me if It was OK if he took his jeans off and.. Of course, I blushed like a little girl embarrassed. I turned my head," No, no, you are allowed to be comfortable.. Sleep, how you like." his response was to laugh and say "Well I think my birthday suit may be a little too comfortable with a stranger in my bed.". Oh God, why does the visual of that make me so hot? I might combust into flames myself. shît go to sleep and stop thinking about his naked body. I scolded myself.

I felt him get in the bed behind me, and I held my breath. Don't ask me why I just did. When he was done moving, I let it out slowly and shakily. He must have heard it because he rolled over and asked if I was OK. I shook my head, not trusting my voice. I could feel the heat from his body right behind me. I just closed my eyes to try and sleep. Then I heard him say" Sweet dreams Bambi" and felt his arm come around me as he kissed my hair, I wiggled a bit to get more comfy and leaned back on him soaking in his warmth and drifted off to sleep.....

*************************

I am walking down the street. It's dark outside. I look at my phone and see it's 10 pm. I should be home by 10:20. I looked back up and saw a shadow move up ahead. My steps faltered a moment. I continue walking slower than before. Every hair on my body stood on end. I sense danger, but what do I do? If I go another way, it will take twice as long to get home. I stopped and dialed my roommate. Natt, the phone rang and rang, then went to voicemail shît!! "OK, stop and think. I'm freaking out about nothing."

I sighed out a breath. OK, I left my phone unlocked and kept it close to me as I continued on. I slowed down and peeked around the corner. I had seen the shadow turn down.

There was nothing there. Nodda gosh. I'm such a scardy cat, I thought to myself, I released the breath I was holding and went forward to continue home. I walked even faster, my skin prickling with anxiety and fear, my heart pounding in my chest.

I was almost at a run when something grabbed my arm hard. I let out a shriek of fear. As I was spun around so fast, I couldn't grasp what the hêll was happening, and then I felt a sharp pain in my head and nothing but darkness. I try to open my eyes, but my head hurts so badly. I groan in pain, I hear voices. They sound so far away, like I'm in a tunnel and I can't move. I i groaned, trying harder to open my eyes.

The pain is unbearable. I can't focus, my brain is so congested, and my head is pounding with my pulse. I try to open my eyes, but I can barely crack even one, and it's blurry. I saw movement and felt someone picking me up and whispering to me, but the pain was horrible, I tried to say something, but it was not coming out. I tried to open my eyes with everything I had, and finally I opened them, and green eyes were looking down on me.....

When I woke up gasping for air, I shot up from the bed with a sharp pain looking around the room. I was alone and dropped back down.

Taking as deep of breaths as I could, I slowly stretched my body out as carefully as I could. I was still in pain, man. What happened to me? Why did this happen? I still don't know, but the flashbacks and now dreams have to mean something, right? And those green eyes. Who do they belong to? I'm not sure why this is happening, but I am so confused and lost and in pain.

I decided to get up and try to find William. I don't know what time it is, and I hope he isn't out too far. I managed to sit up groaning in pain.

Man, my body hurts. I saw a bottle of water and a small note with Bambi written on it that said he would be back soon, to eat the roots they would help my pain, to drink some water and not to leave the inner cave... I picked up the small root and smelled it. It smells earthy and a little spicy. Maybe.

I drank some water down my scratchy throat, letting the cool liquid soothe the burn, and then I ate the root. It is a bit bitter, but if it helps me, I am fine with the taste. I decided I'd go pee and lie back down, so I made my way to relieve myself and back I lay down and pulled the softest of the furs over me and got comfy and waited for William to come back.

I thought about the dream I had. I must live with somebody if I tried calling them, right? Oh! I don't know! Was it a dream? Or a memory? And if it is, then who grabbed me? And how did I end up in the forest? "Gahh! "!! I just can't put the pieces together, and if it's a memory like the flashback, oh wait, the green eyes. I know they are the same, I am sure of it.

I must have been tired because I woke up to smelling something delicious, making my mouth water instantly.

I opened my eyes and could hear movement. I turned around and watched William move from the fire to the table and back, stirring and adding things to the pan." something smells good!" He jerked his head up in surprise, and a big smile spread on his handsome face. " Does it? I bet you're hungry!" He responded in that deep voice.

I smiled back, "Starving, actually." I tried to sit up wincing when my ribs screamed out at the movement. I held my right side and looked up to see William standing there looking at me with such worry," Here, let me help you. Maybe we should wrap your ribs. If they are broken, it will be less painful for you to move." I just looked at him with wide eyes, nodding as he scooped me up and set me in a chair next to the table.

Moving away, he grabbed the kettle and poured a cup of hot water. I watched in fascination as he took herbs and roots from a purple satchel, adding them to the hot water after adding honey he stirred the tea and set it in front of me, "Drink this sweet girl. It will help with the pain and promote healing." With that, he went back to cooking.
