Chapter 6

JENNA'S POV*

"Ohh"...The guy let out surprisingly, staring at me weirdly without attempting to look away.

"Uhmm, sorry", he said after peering at me for long.

"I have erm.. Something to do ", he concluded as he turned to move out.

"Alex," Sebastian called out his name and then he turned back. Instead of looking at Sebastian who called him, he turned peeking at me again.

"meet um.... What the heck" Sebastian rumored at me after remembering he didn't know my name.

"Jenny Alfred..? ", Alex uttered staring and looking away at the same time.

I was surprised when he called that name because I thought all he was going to do was wait for Sebastian to introduce me.

When he called it, I paused for a while, thinking I remembered something. But... since the discussion was about me, I couldn't get inside my head for long.

So, I thought of going with the flow and saying yes to that name.

I thought Sebastian would be ok with that before I heard him say...

"No! She's not..."

"She's... Just a friend...Aby", Sebastian said stammering and winking at the same time.

Then he let out a broad smile, saying," Aby meet my friend Alex".

I smiled at Alex dearly, when I was asked to meet him because I didn't remember anything about meeting someone new.

"Hi," Alex said, as he raised his right arm smiling without dropping it yet.

"Hi.." I repeated raising my arm too without also dropping mine.

His smile soon fades into a normal look, then he drops his arm and chuckles.

He then turned to Sebastian who introduced us both." You know the name Aby is kinda... Cool, but do you believe it's my first time hearing it..? " Alex asked With a giggle.

"It's no big deal.. Abigael is the name and Aby for short" Sebastian replied, looking at me while I shook my head to mean... Exactly.

We already started to get along before Sebastian stands still and deeps his hand into his trouser pocket. Alex and I was waiting to see what he's got, then he brings out his phone, he's got a call. After speaking to whoever called him, he hurriedly moved out saying the king wants him at the castle and that we should get along. I watched him move till he got to the door. Once he gets there, he turned back to look at me like he had expected that I'll be watching him too. We gave each other a definite look for some moment before he turned to go.

Unmistakably, his look was saying something. was he trying to give me the final warning about us and our secrets? or was he saying goodbye?.. I can't really tell.

Soon, Alex moved out too after saying he needs to get shower.

I sigh and look downward after I was left alone in the room. I almost forget I had breakfast tea before me. I only took one spoon and a piece of bread, Now it's all cold after the interviews. I took a deep breath, fall backward on the bed, and exhales, looking up at the ceiling. I raised my head and fall back again. I did this multiple times before I eventually got tired of it. I finally lay on the bed, breathing heavily. The fact that I still couldn't remember anything about myself puts me in misery. I rest my head on the bed, take a deep breath and exhale every previous thought in me. I thought I should take the thinking slowly and more calmly as my previous thoughts came out of banging my head. I was down for almost an hour, trying to soften my nerves but .... I remembered nothing." You're just wasting your time", this thought interrupted in my head. I stood up on my feet and walk around the bedroom, shaking my head as my eyeballs follows.

My shaking head got tired of the action since it's been an hour and a few minutes. I moved my feets towards the door while i was still thinking and opened it. I moved out of the bedroom and saw a narrow lane down the road leading outside." what kind of house is this?" I asked myself. I saw different rooms facing each other but i wouldn't want to enter any because i didn't know which one Alex stays as he told me earlier that he was going to shower. I moved down the lane leading outside. When i got out, i found myself in the veranda of the third story seeing the whole city." Wow", I let out suprisingly as the cool breeze flew my hair backward. I found everything cool up there. I moved towards the barrier made with furniture to cover the third story verrander. I placed my fingers on it and look downward, I could barely see the last building as it went too deep. I carefully took my steps back to the door side, entered and closed it. It terrified me a bit as I thought i would fall. I walked quickly back to the bedroom i left. I was tired, so I sat by the bedside again, putting my two arms between my knees and making them fall downward.

"So the building is actually three story" I thought to myself.

I bent my head and saw my unpacked hair fall but I didn't care. My long fingers were moving just below the bed as I could still move them under it a bit. I deepen my fingers under the bed in form of searching for nothing before I felt that way.

Unexpectedly, my fingers could reach some books and I took them out immediately. I wouldn't have brought them out if I didn't feel the way I felt. My nerves got serious, my brain, the thoughts.... Everything focused immediately on those books. My heart beats faster and I breathe so... heavily when I held them. I dropped them down immediately and replaced them, thinking.... A vampire who has lived for long and seen it all could still put something of that nature in his room." I am not surprised" I concluded the thoughts quickly giving out heavy breaths and sweating seriously like I've been on serious work.

" What were they made of"...I asked myself before I remembered something." Are they... Novels..?". I knew instantly.... there was something like novels but I didn't know where that come from. I fell back on the bed, landing on my back out of tiredness, then I heard a gentle knock on the door.

"Who is there?" I asked, not too loud. I waited for response but unfortunately, there was none. The moment became silent so, I stood up to open the door. I halt immediately I thought of the previous incident. I stared at the door carefully and moved slowly towards it." Who is there " I asked again, loud enough for whoever it was to hear.

"Uhmm it's me"...
