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)

I wake, curled up, alone in the bed. It feels really cold but I can’t find the blanket. Derek is sleeping on a cot in the corner. I need to use the restroom so I quietly slipped out of bed. Hesitating for a few moments, to make sure my feet are securely planted, I let go of the bed. I feel a little wobbly but it feels like I have enough strength to make it. 


I just keep telling myself that it’s like riding a bike. 


I put one foot down, steady myself, and then switch feet. I don’t make it very far though. Only halfway there my legs finally can’t hold my weight anymore. I fall with a loud humph that startles Derek awake. He looks to my bed first. I almost laugh at the look on his face but, when he doesn’t see me, he jumps out of bed and nearly falls on top of me. I gasp loudly just before he can collide into me. He jumps back and clutches his chest. 


"OH, wow! You scared me. What are you doing on the floor?" 


"I need to use the restroom." I squeak, a little embarrassed.
