Aaahhhh....! I screeched, my voice echoing loudly in the empty cave.
Okay, so I'm sure you're probably wondering what happened right?Well, I opened my eyes slowly and only for me to see someone in a Grey hood and blue jeans trousers, starting back at me like am some kind of alien.Well, that's not what made me shout though...It was after staring at each other for what seemed to be longer than a minute, that I realized the fact that I was naked under the water, and my clothes lay in a pile at his feet.Hearing me shout, he must have been confused at first, because he only stared at me like I just grew one more head, but then he realized my clothes were at his feet and that I was probably naked under that water and then he turned his back to me...Well, at least he's a gentleman. I thought to my self while watching him cautiously, I came out of the water, and quickly grabbed my dirty clothes before yanking them back on...You can turn now I endorsed, causing him to turn abruptly and knocking me off my feet in the process.He reached out to grab me but it was too late because I fell so gracefully on my butt...'Great Keera nice first impressions.' I thought in my head, without making anymove to get up.He reached out to help me up, and I took his hand, and and he pulled me up."Hi I'm Akeera your new cave mate."After hearing what I just said, he yanked his hands like he just touched a lump of hot coal...He looked at me through his hood, which was hiding most of his face, I could only see his eyes staring at me so I tried again..."Nice meeting you." I "You are not welcome here," he said in a flat tone, with the most masculine voice I've ever heard.Well, I think, since I can't recall anything."You should leave" he added and started to walk away, leaving me standing behind, completely stunned and gawking at his retreating form.Great, what was I even thinking, I just met a stranger who could have been a terrorist or murderer on the run or something.And here I was trying to make a new acquaintance...'I mean one could only try, right?'Been stranded in a strange place would make you talk even to the animals right?, I told my self."Wait a minute though, is he for real? how can he just ask me to leave!" I exclaimed throwing my hands in the air feeling appalled.I could be the only human he's seen ever since he got here, but the first thing he did was to ask me to leave."Leave and go where exactly?" I asked no one in particular.Does he think I came here by choice or what?"What an attitude" humphI scrunched my face and asked him"Are you for real? why don't we start by how I got here, and try to know if I could actually go home." I barked at his retreating form, but he had already disappeared before I could even get all the words out.Is he for real? how can he just ask me to fucking leave, am in the middle of nowhere, and the first human I see is a complete jerk ass...Stunned, I followed him, and try to maybe make him see reasons why he should let me stay, but I couldn't find him.I was trying to figure out what to do when someone from behind me said..."Why are you still here?"I jumped, feeling my heart in my throat..."Oh my God," I shrieked before saying, "do you like have a degree in scaring people, I could have had a heart attack right here." I scolded, but he only looks at me with a flat look on his face, and shook his head like I'm some nutcase or something...He started to walk away from me again, but this time I followed him quickly..."What's your name?" I asked, but he said nothing so I decided to give him a nickname..."Uhh I'm gonna call you Mr caveman" I coaxed and he turned to glare at me..."What?! You don't wanna tell me your name" I glared back at him without blinking...'Way to go Keera being rude when you actually need his help.' My head offers, so I tried again"Okay, I'm sorry okay, but can I at least stay here until I figure out how to get out of this place?" I asked...But only to be given the silent treatment again."I will take that as a yes." Still silent.Taking a deep breath, I told myself I had to go, I will find somewhere else, anywhere...Humphing, I made my way to the exit of the cave, turning around one more time to look at the ass hole, I gave him the middle finger, then left.I'm stranded yet again, with no shelter, no food, and no clothes...I was walking, not knowing what direction to go, or what path to take...I stopped slightly, to think of what might work...Contemplating on whether or not to go back to the cave or to just keep going forward...Going back seemed to be a better option unless am willing to spend the night outside, as it seems the sun is about to set and I don't see anything close...Well, if you look at things from the bright side, I could sleep while staring at the stars..."Uhh who am I kidding?"I could get eaten by a wolf or lion, and just the thought of it made me shudder.Just when I was about to turn and go back, I felt as if something or someone was behind me.My heart started to pound, I put my hand on my chest, my long-forgotten headache returning...I was so terrified to the extent that I was frozen to the spot I stood...Oh my God, now am surely gonna get eaten alive I fretted...I stood there frozen in the same spot as my limbs seemed to have stopped working. I could not get them to move even an inch.I couldn't even turn around to see what's going to eat me until I heard an all too familiar voice saying"Come back to the cave."A wave of relief washed over me. Thank God it wasn't a wolf or a lion, I thought in my head.After saying that, he turned back and headed towards the cave.Walking back seemed longer than when I was leaving, am not complaining, though at least now I know will not get eaten alive or I could by the cavemanYeah right, keerah, the voice in my head said.And that made me rolled my eyes at my own ridiculous thoughts.He's going to eat you and he let you leave in the first place, my head offers back.He was walking ahead , while I walked at a safe distance behind him.I wanted to say something, or at least ask few questions, but I didn't want to blow up my last chance at a shelter.So, I decided against it and remained quiet...We arrived a
As I sat there, like a rain beaten lost puppy, so many thoughts ran through my head...What would I do now?How do I survive? I don't even remember anything or anyone so I don't know if there's anything to go back to...Is there anyone looking for me? Does anyone even know am missing?Would I ever remember?Would this be my life now or would I be saved?All this question without answers prompts my tears to start falling again..."Here, take this" I heard Eric say, I raised my eyes to see him handing me his handkerchief...I just stared at it without saying a word..."It's for your face"I reached for the handkerchief, collected it, and blow my nose into it.Eric made a disgusted face, then turned to leave."Thank you," I saidAs if that was all he needed to hear he came back and stood awkwardly....."Are you okay? You looked terrified in your sleep, that's why I woke you up, maybe I shouldn't have" he said slowly...I looked at him not saying anything."Am sorry" he said and left the
We kept walking non-stop for what felt like ages, with me asking for the millionth time where we were going and Eric ignoring me.Are we there yet? I asked again earning myself a glare from Eric"We get there when we get there so please just stop asking already and follow quietly for once" Eric said visibly frustrated with my constant prodding.We walked for a while more in eery silence none of us saying anything to the other.When I opened my mouth to say something again Eric just glared at me with a grim expression on his face before I could even get the words out...I humphed and walked ahead while muttering to myself how he wouldn't even let me talk.I walked faster for a while before realizing I don't even know where am going...I stopped abruptly causing Eric to crash into me, knocking me off my feet..."Oohhh,"I shriekedd closing my eyes and awaiting my body to make an impact with the ground but it never did.It's like I was hanging in the air or rather someone was holding me,
After Eric disappeared, I went to the spot where I took my bath and tried to wash the tangled mess on my head, but that merely turned out to be a complete disaster..."I don't think I've ever done this myself before," I said out loud..."I mean if I had, even if my memory was lost my body should at least be able to do what it does before right?" I asked no one in particular as I continued to struggle with my poor hair...I think there's a saying that goes...that body has memories or am I only mixing things up as I've lost part of my memories I thought to myself helplessly, and I continued to battle with my hair.I was still battling with my hair when I heard footsteps, I knew it was Eric even though I didn't look up.After a few struggles and unsatisfied messy hair later, I decided I had done enough for today. At least all I had to do now was rinse off the shampoo from my tangled hair...The question is how do I do that without getting my clothes wet.My eyes are closed, but I assumed
We sat silently, watching the blaze of the fire as it grows up to meet the stick on top of it, Eric had started the fire a while ago with the woods we had picked up...Eric watched the fire silently as it began to die down, before getting up to bring something he had kept wrapped up in a foil paper.I watched with undivided interest as Eric unwraps the thing from inside the foil and it appears to be some leftover meat he had kept aside for dinner. Eric then fixed the meat over the fire for warming. He must have gone hunting before I got here, I thought to myself. I looked at the meat, and It looked like some kind of big bird or something it had been cut already so I couldn't fully tell what kind of animal it was..."How long have you been here for Eric?" I asked breaking the ice like silence.Eric was silent for a while, and I was beginning to think he wasn't going to answer, but then he did."I've not been here long enough to have gone crazy or long enough to want to go back home." E
Eric's POVI woke up early, not because I was unable to sleep but because I was an early morning person.I looked to the other side and keera was lying down on the bed still asleep, she slept peacefully like an angel.I guess she wasn't having a bad dream like yesterday. She looked so cute pouting while asleep.I stood up from my bed and adjusted the blanket over her body, I then went to the spot where I take my bath and removed my clothes then got into the water. ..My mind unintentionally drifted to the first time I saw her. I had just returned from picking up a few fruits that would last me a few days. Upon entering the cave I heard movement in the water.I was confused at first because I knew fishes could not live in that particular water because of its temperature, so I thought maybe an animal or something had fallen in there, so I dropped the bag of fruits and went to check what was going on.When I reached I saw what I least expected a girl... she was floating on the water with
Keera's POVI sat By the waterfalls silently, the previous event replaying in my head for the umpteenth time more, before I got uncontrollably bored, I later concluded that I could not change what had happened.So I stood up, not wanting to go back to the cave just yet, so I decided to play around for a while, before going back in. Hopefully, Eric's gone from the cave by then, as I don't think I'm ready to face him yet.I went to the field of lilies and picked up one, apologizing to the poor flower for plucking it, I then proceeded to put it in my hair after using my hands to comb through it.My hair was so much better than the tangled mess it was yesterday, as it cascaded down my back in form of messy beachy waves, so I'm sure the flower doesn't look too out of place.I looked up at the sky using my right hand to shield my eyes from the sun, and the sky was a pretty shade of blue and at that moment, I forgot all about my embarrassment and all I felt was pure happiness.My happy state
Keera's POVWhen I went back onto the cave, I went straight to the bath tub after picking up clothes for changing, I then stripped off my dirty ones, and discarded them on the floor before proceeding to take the long-overdue bath...After taking my bath I put on one of the sweatshirts and one of the boxers Eric's brought for me, while wondering why he had given them to me.I'm sure they were Eric's boxers though they looked like they were new, and I don't think he's ever worn them... I thought involuntarily as I checked the clothes...The sweat shirt was a little too big and I had to fold it's arms a little. But the boxers on the other hand was not big at all because it hugged my curves perfectly, almost like a second skin but the sweat shirt was long enough to cover it...I then proceeded to put on my snickers, before going back into the main cave, Eric was not there just as I hadn't expected him to be...I decided to sit down and try to remember my past... I mean I'm not sure it wor
