She woke up in a dark room with no idea how she got there. She doesn't remember who she is. Will she ever find out? Will she ever know what happened to her? Will the love that she finds be at the time that she is destined to be? Will she choose security, power, or neither? Or will time choose for her?

Discovery (Revisioned)

We travel to the fight. As we get closer, I hear the grunts of pain and exertion along with the clang of metal. Joseph has a hold of my hand and literally drags me along. 


I’m too weak to move. I fall just as we reach the outskirts of the fighting. I look towards Joseph and shake my head. He needs to find my Dad and I can’t move anymore. 


Joseph hesitates looking at me with a pained look in his eyes. I can see his silent plea for me to stand back up. I hobble myself to a standing position and push him, towards the fight, trying to get him to understand. He doesn’t even budge an inch, and he won’t willingly move, so I do the only thing I can. 


I start crying out of desperation. His eyes softens for a minute, and he grabs my hand gently. He looks into my eyes and says, 


"I will not leave you here. You’ll be an easy target. Anything can happen to you, even if only by accident. Let me take you somewhere safe."
