“I Didn’t Just Find One Mate… I Found Two”

500 Words
Voices drifted in first, then light. I slowly opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was a bland ceiling. I rolled over on the bed and sat up on my own, completely oblivious of where I was. I could hear people speaking in low voices… But there was nobody in sight and the more I tried to remember fragments of what happened before I landed here… The more it felt like the memories were running away from me. “Hello..” I called out and a lady in white walked out of the inner room. Her face was stern and unfriendly. How did I even get here? “Good… you’re awake. Means you’re fine, now you can go. Just take enough water and you’ll be fine..” she ordered. “Wait… that’s all?” I asked and she glared at me in disgust. “Are you going to teach me… My job now?” She snapped and I shook my head. “No.. I’ll see myself out.” I responded and immediately picked up my shoe, put it on and dragged myself out of the clinic. “Mara!” Joan shrieked as she ran towards me, pulling me into a warm hug. “What happened to you? You just started wincing in pain and next thing your body temperature just kept going up..” She explained and that’s when I finally remembered. This has never happened to me before and I was afraid it was something I was suspecting it to be long before now. I smacked my lips and ran my fingers through my hair because now I’d have to call my mother to ask her about this and I don’t want to speak with her. “Let me ask you Joan, how did I even get to the clinic?” I asked and her face turned a bright red instantly. “Ouu that’s the juicy part. So while everyone was panicking and wondering what was wrong with you… Jaden swooped in and grabbed you in his arms like a knight in shining armor!” She said gleefully. “Who’s Jaden?” I asked but the words were still hanging mid air when I heard heavy boots hitting against the floorboards. I turned around and an unfamiliar yet strikingly handsome face stepped into sight. “I better leave you two..” Joan teased and scurried away even before I could say anything. “Hey..” “Hello. You must be Jaden.” I said and he shrugged his shoulders, pulling his hair away from his face. “Thank you so much for helping me earlier, I really appreciate it..” I muttered. “It’s nothing, I saw an angel in need and I had to do something to help. What did the nurse say was the issue?” He asked and I glanced at the clinic door. “What nurse? This one? She didn’t say anything about my health to me..” I said and he laughed.
