Never Knew Her Name Novels & Stories

Why did she do this to you? Hearing her Father's question, she cried out loudly and said, "Dad, I don't know her. This is the first time I have seen her. I don't even know her name." I don't know why she did this to me, I didn't hurt her. I did not even see her face"

she said. Before I could even protest, she was dragging me across the ballroom, weaving through clusters of fancy-dressed guests, most of whom I’d never seen before and would, hopefully, never have to see again. The faces blurred together: cousins I’d barely met, second cousins I didn’t even know existed, and several people who were probably just here for the open bar. I gave half-hearted nods and weak smiles, knowing full well I wouldn’t remember a single one of their names five minutes from now.

And the other woman who happened to be her twin was named Kaihly. How could I not learn all of these? Jane didn’t know her mom all her life before, so I never really learned anything about her. Some said she was dead, and some said she disappeared. I didn’t even know that she had sisters. No one knew until now. Now that Jane had come back with all of them.

Do you not know her? it seems impossible that you do not know her! but what amazes me is that you name your star Stella, that must've counted for something, right? maybe your memory is trying to tell you something or give you some clue about her, it can not be a coincidence, I don't believe in them anyway.

she yelled like a child who was on the verge of throwing a tantrum after being denied the chance to take a plushie out of a toy store without buying. “With an H?” “Yes,” she responded. “I have lost it,” I said out loud as I sank back into the wall. “What's your name?” she asked. That question was strange. I could not remember my name or what a name was. The answer was at the tip of my tongue. I could feel it, but I could not bring it forth. “What's a name?” I asked her. “I do not know,” she responded. “It's a common question asked here,” she said.

I assumed she would return once the message had landed, once I had time to cool, once the balance between us reset the way it always had. After all, she was pregnant. That fact anchored my patience more than anything else. Victoria didn’t run when there was something to protect. She never had. Two weeks passed. Then four. By the end of the second month, there was still nothing— no sightings, no financial movement, no hospital records, no border triggers. It was as if she had been edited out of the world. That was when I stopped waiting and started searching. “Still nothing?” I asked, my voice even as I reviewed the overnight reports.

“I even got to realize you don't know my name…you fucking call me sister everytime cause you never knew my name “she screamed in her room. Ohh shit! “I do…”i denied trying to remember what the name was. Fuck!! I can't remember!! “Then what is it?”she asked as she unbolted the door,my eyes on her as she only wore her inner wear now. “Ella?!” “yeah it's Ella,you fucking don't even know my name..I must have been stupid to think you would “she smiled before slamming the door shut. “You never told me your name..” “You didn't tell me your name before I got to know it”she screamed dejectedly.

"She says she doesn't know me..." The girl beneath me-my sister-looked like she wanted to cry. "I don't know where I am. I don't know who I am. I just... I just woke up one day near a river. My clothes were soaked and I didn't remember anything. Nothing." My chest rose and fell like I'd just been punched. "You don't know your own name?" She shook her head. "I don't. I just... I just know I've been running from people who say they know me. I've been hiding. Everyone's faces scare me. You-you chased me..."

She uses her fork to push the food around before she meets his eye. "Well, I do not know what his name is." SHe says quietly. She played with this kid for hours and never once learned his name. I would find it hard to believe but they were not exactly given time for introductions. It only took moments for them to jump right into playing the way that they were. "So, first I steal your thunder and now you do not even know enough information to tell the story accurately? Geez, good think I learned his name already." I say with a wink.

She becomes uncomfortable and doesn't finish. "It's a beautiful name, and fitting. An interesting concept too! Typically a mother names her children, with only input from the father." "I don't know where my mom is. I never knew her." The room is silent at this revelation, as we already have a good hunch of why she never knew her. If her mother is mortal as I expect, she either died or went mad after prolonged contact with Sera's father. "Seraphine." I redirect her attention to me. She raises her chin in defiance as she reluctantly acknowledges me.
