It was dark. Cold. She might not survive this for long.

Voices; too loud -ringing


like alarms in her head.
‘...I’m not your mother!...’
‘ You need to stop calling me your mother!’
‘You are bad luck!’
‘Orange, I just got a call. He was shot...’
Pain. She wished she vanished. She could hear the sound of her heart pounding
heavily in her chest. Her memories, jumbled up. When will they stop haunting
her?
Fire. Everywhere! The house was on fire.
‘Aaaaah! Orange!!’
He screamed but she was too overwhelmed by the situation to respond. Her knees
were paralyzed by shock, the sight of it was frightening.
‘My food’s gone cold. So have I.’
‘Get out!!’

***
‘Get out!!’
She jolted out of her sleep. Panting like she had been chased. You could still see
the fear in her eyes. Her eyes darted from one corner of the room to the other, it
was empty.
Where was she?
The door suddenly flung open before she could study her environment and a
young woman walked through it hurriedly, holding a cloth in one hand and a bowl
of water in the other.
“You’re awake” she said moving toward her.
Who was she? Orange adjusted herself uncomfortably on the bed she was on.
The woman sat on the edge of the bed and dipped the cloth into the bowl of water,
attempting to place the cloth on Orange’s head. Orange held her hand in protest.
She said nothing but her expression was everything.
The woman was shocked at the harsh grip but then her face turned to one of pity.
“It’s alright. Allow me tend to your wounds” she said.
Orange slowly let go of her hand and relaxed on the bed. She could feel pain all
over her body, a little massage wouldn’t be bad.
A man walked into the room. He had brown eyes and curly hair. He walked to her
bed side and studied her closely. What exactly was he looking for?
After a while he bent down near her head. His eyes full of questions and pity.
The woman placed the cold cloth on her head and wiped the sweat beads that were
on her forehead. She could feel the chills run through her head to her spine. She
shook a bit but her eyes were still fixed on the man.
The chills came again from the cloth but this time the woman placed it on her
neck. It felt relaxing.
“What’s your name?” he finally said something, his voice was deep. Instead of
frightening her, it felt relaxing. She could feel the breath from his nostrils and they
were hot.
“Orange.”
