Kelly had started to respond to her own name. She still had no memory of anything. She had noticed that about a week ago, people had started treating her a little bit differently, but she couldn’t put her finger on why. Everybody had acted the same until she fell asleep, and then the next day, when she woke up, everybody was a lot nicer to her period, even though people were pretty nice to her in the first place. She knew she didn't belong there. The idea that she was being taken care of by some secret billionaire who had his own compound that was literally built into a mountain was almost hilarious to her period. She didn't know if she had a good sense of humor or a dark sense of humor, but she just thought that that was absolutely hilarious. She wasn't that special. At least in her own mind, she never seemed to be. Right now she felt that way.
She looked at her hands, and even though they were not completely scraped up, she had rea

“You're not going anywhere.” Benton stated as he continued to just stare at her blankly. “You have to stay here. It's the safest place for you.” “I can't stay here forever. I need to be able to go back into the world. To resume my life even though I don't remember it. There has to be something that I forgot because I know that there is an important part of it, and I don't know anything about it. It's like I constantly forget something extremely important.” Kelly said she looked at him. “I understand that this is absolutely frustrating for you being stuck in this bed and not remembering anything. We're working on different types of sensory things that might help you trigger your memories. The doctor, doesn't necessarily think that it's absolutely permanent. It means with time, it could all come back to you. We've exhausted everything that could possibly help you; I really do believe that you need to stay here. There are just too man

Benton had ordered all the supplies that he thought that she would like to have a say in area that was going to be hers for a while. He was still trying to work out how he was going to keep her there as long as he possibly could keep her there until she figured out exactly what she was going to do. There were still a lot of things that were going on that she didn't remember or couldn't afford to remember. When he had talked to the doctor again about her condition and the fact that it seemed like there was some kind of mental block, there was almost like a wall. He had learned that there were different types of amnesia, and she was suffering from one of the ones that could basically be because of a trauma that the brain was saving the person from remembering. The way that it was explained to Benton was that the human body had a natural instinct to make sure that it protected itself. That included and d

The day the doctors let Kelly stand up for the first time, Benton had walked in the room as she was trying to shuffle across the floor. That was when he realized that she didn't have any clothes. She was still in a hospital gown though she had changed numerous times, and she had to been in the shower though that was a problem for the doctors and nurses because of her rampant fear of water. She had changed the gown quite a few times, and for some reason, it didn't even dawn on him that he needed to order clothes for her. He knew that the time was coming that she would be let out of the medical Bay and into the private apartments. He needed to make sure that he got that done before she was. “Hey, speed racer,” he said as he looked at her, and then she almost started to lose her balance, and he was right by her side. His arms went to help brace her up, but she managed to catch herself, and he just kept him there around her period. Even the doctors and

Benton knew that she was becoming more drained by the moment. She and a few times, and she even stretched her back in a way he hadn't seen her do before. Just sitting there for any period of time was putting pressure on her spine that she hadn't had there in a while. Her body was still recuperating even a few weeks after the fact from not only the fall but the walk. She was in good shape probably beforehand, but she had lost muscle mass because she had not eaten anything for quite a while. She was also learning about new foods because she couldn't remember anything that she liked. Benton took out the box that he had in his pocket in the jacket that he was wearing, and he handed it over to her, and she looked at it like she had no idea what to do with it. “This is your present, Kelly. You can open the box.” Kelly looked at the box and had no idea how to open it. The look that was on her face was everything that she was trying

The next day the guards who had been called off showed show back up. They started to take their place at the door, and they just watched Kelly. There was something in their eyes that even the doctors and nurses couldn’t explain, and neither could Kelly. They were angry. She wanted to know what was going on, and know why Benton would send them. She hadn't done anything to warrant meeting a fulltime guard again. She even could sort of understanding why she had one in the first place. She had been in the wrong place at the wrong time or in the way that he said it she had been in the wrong place at the right time. She didn't quite understand what was going on, nor did she really want to. She was just confused as to why they were there. “If you really wanna make a difference here, you should really learn how to use your numbers.” one of the guards said, finally breaking the silence towards Kelly. He was still glaring at her, and she didn't quite know

Benton showed her around the room as she looked from the spot she had stopped in. she hadn’t said a word as she looked at everything with huge eyes. She had no concept of some of the things that were there. “Kelly?” he asked as he saw that she hadn’t moved. “Is everything okay?” “Fine.” She said as she looked at him and his grey eyes. This was one of the few times it seemed she had seen him without the special glasses he wore most of the time. Today it was his entire face. She then really looked him over as he stood there, slightly confused by her response. He was taller and more well built than he seemed in the medical bay. She had to wonder if he had been trying to make himself smaller while she was in the hospital bed. “I just need a moment.” She said as she looked up to him as he moved slightly closer to her but he didn’t overwhelm her. The tension when he got closer to her was easy to feel for the both of them. He was glad it wasn’t just him feeli

Kelly did as he asked and looked around for a bit and told him that the rooms were fine and they didn’t need anything else in them. Benton knew there was more coming, but he didn’t say anything to her about that. She went back to the couch and started to play the game again. He went to the lab for a few hours, and when he came back, he found her nearly in tears on the couch. He walked quickly to her. “What? What happened?” he asked softly as he sat down next to her. “I don’t understand this.” She said as she looked at him with tears in her eyes. They were clouding the normal brightness that was there. It hurt to see her in this much pain. “Understand what?” he asked, and she moved her phone to show him the score. “I can’t ever be a master at this.” She said as she looked at the phone and then him. The tears were close to falling out of the corners of her eyes and he never wanted to see that. It ripped at his heart in a wa

As the rest of the day passed on and the light began to fade from the large windows, he watched Kelly continue to play on her phone. He had moved a few times as there was a lot of empty space in the open room. This part of the compound was the one that had the views on the outside of the mountain. The large rectangle structure that was braced up into the mountain had one side of nothing but glass and windows that were reinforced. He was sitting by them at his desk where he had nothing on it. The glasses that he wore most of the time allowed him to have almost a complete virtual setup for his computers. He was trying to figure out how to make them available to the outside world as well. It would cut space down in most office settings. It was nothing more than a side project. He was working when he noticed that Kelly had stood up and stretched. “Are you getting hungry?” he asked. “No,” she replied. “I just needed to stretch for a minute. I feel l
