Murmuring voices from below, hushed tones and banging of door distracted her little sleep. Slowly, her eyes flutters open in delight. Her eyes meets with a beautiful brown caramel eyes peering at her. She blink rapidly as she look round the room. Her eyes rest on a middle aged woman sitting beside the caramel eyes teenager.
"She's awake!" The teenage girl squealed in excitement. Her black pigtails bounced as she gets on her feet and rushed to the laid woman.
"Thank goodness!" The middle aged woman said clasping her hands together. "I'd just have Doc. Ken come over." The middle aged woman adds before rushing out of the room.
"What's your name ma'am?" The caramel eyes ask as she gently clasp her hand.
"My name?" She stutters as she begin to think.
"Yes, your name." The teenager girl said with a childish look plastered on her face.
"I-I-, I don't know!" She stutters.
"Oh!" The girl replied now wondering if the lady before her don't have amnesia. The door pushed open and the woman walk in quietly.
"He's on his way. How are you?" The woman ask as she sits slightly on the bed. She touched her cheeks tenderly.
"I'm fine." She replied with a confused expression. The woman flash her a smile.
"Asanel, ring your father please, the aged woman said to the caramel eyes teenager.
"Okay granny", she reply before walking out of the room.
"Where I'm I please and what happened to me?" She ask.
"Relax child. You were involved in an accident two weeks ago and ever since, you've been unconscious. You only just woke up. Tell me child, what's your name?" The middle aged woman ask and the lady blink rapidly trying to process what she just heard.
"I don't know my name," she replied suddenly wondering why.
"I see. Do you remember anything?" The woman ask again.
"Nope" she shakes her head.
"Okay. I'd just wait for doc Ken. By the way, I'm Ellen. You can call me mum", the woman introduced and she nods. She begins to wonder whether she has a mum but a sharp pain in her head was what she got in reply.
"Ouch!" She cry out.
"What's wrong?" Ellen ask as she rush to her side. Just then, the door pushed open and a man in white coat came in with Asanel.
"Great, you are here!" Ellen exclaim and quickly get off the bed. Doc.Ken set his box down and begin to examine her. He cleans her cuts and bandage them. She has a cut on her forehead. He also help her sprained ankle. He work in silence making the room uncomfortable for her.
"What's your name ma'am?" He ask as he folds his stethoscope into two and keeps in his box.
"I don't know." The lady answer frustrated.
"Oh! My fears are confirmed then. Granny, she has Amnesia." Doc. Ken mutter and turn to Ellen.
"What do we do?" Ellen ask her eyes showing worry.
"Nothing. She will be fine. I'd just ask a nurse to come over with her medications later. She's going to be needing a home nurse to take care of her wounds." He explains.
"Oh! Thats fine." Ellen mutter.
"I will take my leave now granny. My regards to Endy". He said and get on his feet.
"Sure and do call me mum Ken! She half yell at him and he smile. Doc. Ken has been the family doctor for many years and he's been calling Ellen granny instead of mum.
"I will walk you out." Asanel offer and lead the way out with Ken following behind.
"Let me get you lunch." Ellen mutter and walk out. The lady sigh not understanding what's happening. Her eyes flicker around the room. The room is painted in a royal blue and black crystal stars used to design it. It has an empty shelf, a flat screen mounted on the wall, and a resting blue couch with fluffy pillows. She smile at all this. The door open and Ellen walk in with Asanel.
"Here." Ellen said as she place a tray on the bed. Asanel help her sit while Ellen stir the meal, soup. She hand the spoon to her and urge her to eat.
"Granny, what do we call her?" Asanel ask.
"Hmmm. I don't actually know but we can choose a name for her, don't you think?" Ellen ask as she watch her stir the soup slowly.
"What about Daisy?" Asanel ask and Ellen beam in smiles.
"Or Zelma? Choose one", Ellen urge her.
She look up confused at the granny and daughter. "Any name will do." She mutter and resume stirring the chicken soup.
"Granny, lets call her Daisy." Asanel prob with puppy eyes.
"Fine. Daisy it is then." Ellen concludes and Asanel squeal. The now Daisy just smile at her childish attitude.
"Where is this place?" Daisy ask as she take a spoon of the soup. She wince slightly at the cut on her lips.
"You're in Frazer Island, a small town in the countryside of Australia." Asanel reply and Daisy nod slowly. Silence set in as they watch her eat. Daisy of course felt uncomfortable with their stares but did not complain.
"Thank you." She mutter when she was full. Asanel sent her a smile before picking up the tray.
"You need to freshen up but your leg is sprained so you have to loose this crutch, Ellen points to the crutch resting on the wall.
"Okay." Daisy mutter quietly
"I will order clothes for her online first." Asanel suggest and Ellen nod. Asanel gets on her feet and pick up the tray. She walk out afterwards leaving Ellen with Daisy.
"Here, I will help you." Ellen offer and Daisy couldn't be more greatful.
