Chapter One
"Kitty"

"Are you okay?" Someone was shaking me awake. I was cold, and my body felt numb. I could barely feel the touch of the person waking me. My eyes opened and I found myself lying in a pile of snow. A girl was kneeling above me, carrying a basket. She spoke again, tilting her head to the side. "Are you okay?"

"Wha--?" was all I could manage in response. I pushed myself off the ground, trying to get up. The girl grabbed my arm and helped me to my feet. "How long have you been laying there?" she asked. "How'd you get down there anyways?"

I scratched my head, trying to remember, but nothing came. "I don't remember."

"Oh, well what's your name?" Her hair was a light blonde colour and was left hanging stringy around her small face. Her blue eyes were big and seemed to give her a permanent look of excitement. In response to her question I couldn't think of anything. My name? I tried to remember. Nothing. "I- I don't remember."

"You can't remember your name?" the girl gapped at me. I tried to remember where I like. Nothing. How I looked. Nothing. I felt myself start to panic as I realized I couldn't remember much of anything about me. "I- I can't remember anything." I gasped. Surely I remember something. How old am I? Who am I?

"Well, I'm Evelyn. But you may call me Evey. Come with me. My father is a doctor, maybe he can help." Evelyn smiled at me and held her hand out. I took it reluctantly and she started jogging ahead, dragging me behind. Wherever I was, the place was huge.

There were people bustling around everywhere. Some had bags, others seemed to be delivering things, and still others, those who were richer, could be identified by the horses they were riding. There were stands on the sides of the streets selling anything and everything one could ever imagine. I has glad Evelyn was holding my hand, I was afraid I might lose her otherwise.

Once we made it through that area of the city, the crowds disappeared and the noise settled. Evelyn let go of my hand. It was a lot quieter in this area of the city. Only a few people roamed the streets, and they all wore much nicer clothes than the ones we had just seen. The area also looked cleaner than the area we had just been at. Looking around, I realized everything was nicer here. Evelyn stopped at a gate, opened it, and gestured for me to come in as well.

The fence surrounded a huge house. The gate itself was extremely small compared to even the door of the house that lay in front of me. Along with being the biggest house of the street, it had two floors, it was also the nicest looking. Evelyn shut the gate after I followed her in, and then led the way down the path to where she opened the door. Basket in her right hand, she stepped inside holding it open for me. "Come on, I don't bite." she laughed when she noticed my reluctance.

I followed her in and she sped off to the right, calling for her father. The door made a soft thud as it shut behind me. I hesitantly tiptoed to the right, following after Evelyn, but not wanting to make any noise. The house was bigger inside than out. The ceilings were high and all the wood had exquisite carvings on them. Stone was used for the walls and floor. Who were these people?

"..and she's.. Well, she's somewhere around here." Evelyn poked her into the and room and smiled widely, her eyes glowing. "Found her, father. She's in here."

A tall man followed Evelyn in. Like her, he had light blond hair and a wide smile. He wore glasses, but didn't have the same eyes as her. "Hello. Evey tells me you're a little confused. Why don't you sit down?" He motioned to a lounge seat, and sat down himself in a chair across the room. Evelyn took a seat on the left side of the lounge seat, and being the only open area to sit down in the room, I took a seat on the right, next to her. "So, tell me what you remember." he said sweetly, smiling at me.

"Nothing. At least nothing about myself." I frowned. How is that even possible? Evelyn's father nodded and he seemed to be thinking about how to reply.

"Well, this isn't uncommon. But we'll have to wait and see what happens. There is nothing that really can be done. Some people don't remember anything or years, and some it only takes a few days. How about telling me the things you don't remember?"

The questions that had been bothering me came to my mouth instantly. "My name. My age. Where I live. Why I'm here. What I look like. Where her even is, Everything." It was all too overwhelming and I found myself getting a headache.

"I'll see if there's anything I can do." he reassured me and stood up. "I've got to go see to the queen. Evey, show her to your room, and the guest room as well." The queen?

After her father left, I turned to her. "Why does he need to go see the queen? Has he done something wrong?"

Evelyn laughed. "No, of course he hasn’t done anything wrong. He is the personal doctor to the king and queen. Though, the queen has been gravely ill of late." Her smile vanished as she spoke of this. After a moment, however, she smiled again and grabbed my hand, pulling me behind her. "Come on, let's go figure you out!"

As we walked up the stairs, I looked around more at everything. The entire house was grand. They had to be on of the richest families in the kingdom, other than the king and queen themselves. Personal doctor.. Evelyn led me to a room and opened the door slowly, letting me enter first.

Unlike downstairs, solely the floor of this room was made of stone. Or at least the same kind of stone. The walls were made of a different kind. The bed in the corner was made entirely of wood with faeries and pixies engraved on it's surface. There were various other tables and shelves with things I never would have thought belonged in a room.

"This is my room." Evelyn said, as I sat on her bed, moving my hands over the carvings. "Alright, let's start getting you to remember." She walked over to a night table and retrieved a silver mirror. "Here," she said, handing it to me. "Now you can remember what you look like."

The mirror had a pattern of leaves and flowers on it's shiny surface. It was cold when I took it in my hand. She sat down next to me, and watching me intently as I flipped the mirror over in my hands. I inhaled breath quickly, I was far more attractive than I had expected. My hair was long, straight and black. I had flawless skin and light pink lips. My eyes were a shocking deep green, and my skin was paler then Evelyn's. A slight smile danced playfully at my lips, and I noticed my fingers were tracing them.

For the first time, I looked down at what I was wearing. Placing the mirror on Evelyn's bed, I stood up to look further. My clothes looked expensive. Long black pants the fit my body, and a lace up black shirt. I had boots on my feet. I obviously like the colour black.

I realized Evelyn was giggling at me, I returned her laughter with a smile. "I'm rather pretty, aren't I?" I mused.

"Of course you are!" she exclaimed. "I wondered why someone like you was laying on the ground when I first saw you." She made me think as well. Who was I? And why was I on the ground? "You can borrow some clothes if you like." She pointed to her closet. "You look to be about the same size as me."

I nodded and wandered into her closet. It was almost half the size of her room. I couldn't help but wonder where she even picked up half of these clothes. In the end, I ended up picking out a black dress, because I assumed I'd like it, and a white nightgown.

"I'll show you where you will be staying." she smiled and took my free hand since the other one was clutching my new clothes. As I was following her through the house, I was afraid there was a chance I might get lost in it. Four doors and one hall later, she opened another and led me in. It was different than hers. "You can change anything you like to make you feel more at home." she smiled.

The problem was, I didn't know what home felt like. Unlike Evelyn's this room had the same stone for both the walls and floor. The bed was simple and made out of wood and there was a dresser and a table in two corners of the room. An empty vase adorned the top of the table. I didn't mind how empty it was. It was better than the clutter in Evelyn's room.

She took a seat on the bed and I sat down next to her. "We need to give you a name." she whispered, biting her lip. I could tell she was trying to think I something to refer to me as. I tried hard to remember my own my own name, my real name, but nothing came to mind. "How about Katherine?" She laughed suddenly, "Kitty for short." She smiled so wide I don't think I could have brought myself to disagree with her. So, instead I smiled and nodded.

"Alright, Kitty." She giggled again and stood up. "I'll let you be. You've had a long day. And with that she skipped out of the room, closing the door behind her and leaving me alone.

Work In Progress

Chapter Two
"Andi"

I changed into my white nightgown and threw my other clothes on the floor. I removed a heavy locket from my neck. Sitting back on the bed, I wondered who it was from. Like the rest of my items, the locket was raven black. It had a weird button on the front. I checked the sides to see if it was a locket that opened. It was. I pressed the button on the front a few times, but it did nothing. I flipped the locket over to look at the back. It had some weird cross like shape with zigzag edges on it. The entire thing confused me, so I just placed in on top of the dresser on the other side of the room, vowing to figure it out later.

I retrieved my clothes from the floor, and folding them nicely before walking back over to the dresser and putting them in a drawer. Looking out a window, I could see that it was dark. I had only just noticed that the light filling the room was coming from an oil lamp on a table that was on the other side of my bed that I hadn’t seen before now. Suddenly feeling tired, I walked over and blew the flame out before lying down.

The bed was softer than I had imagined it would be, and my body sunk into it. I pulled the covers up to my shoulder and just started at the wall, head on my pillow. I tried to remember everything, anything. I suddenly got another headache from the effort I was exerting to remember. I closed my eyes, and laid there under sleep finally grasped hold of me.

---

I was running from something but I didn’t know what. Everything around me was black, and I just kept running straight ahead. I tripped over something and fell to the ground. There was screaming and laughing behind me, and it was getting closer and louder. I covered my ears to escape the horrid sound. Something grabbed my ankle and pulled me along the ground. I flipped over, kicking it. It was a woman, or monster that resembled a woman. Long black flowing hair, piercing red eyes. She spoke in a language I didn’t recognize, and dove back down to attack me.

---

I jolted out of the bed, sweaty and panting. What the hell was that? Light was shining in through the window, and I wondered if I had overslept my welcome yet. The smell of food from downstairs was what really woke me up from my slumber. I changed quickly, and headed down the stairs, trying not to get lost. I found my way into the kitchen. Evelyn was sitting at the table eating along with her mother. Her father was at the stove.

"Hello." Her mother looked up first. "You must be Kitty. My name is Marilyn." She smiled politely and motioned for me to sit in the seat across for her.

"Breakfast will be coming up in a minute for you." Her father called over to me.

"Morning, Kitty!" Evelyn squealed happily. "We're going to the castle with father today. All his equipment is there, so he needs to bring you there to use it."

"Evelyn." I say, nodding in response to her saying good morning. I was thrilled to be spending another day with her, but what could I do? She had offered me a place to stay. Though her optimisism was a tad bit of a nuisance.

"I told you to call me Evey." she said disappointed. "I'm not calling you Katherine afterall."

Her father brought over a plate of eggs, bacon and toast, and set it in front of me. It was then I realized how truely hungry I was. Breakfast went on silently, as I scarffed down my food. I almost choked once because I tried to put more bacon in my mouth while I was still eating toast.
