"Stop! Get away from me! Make it stop!"
☾
I can't sleep, I turn to my side and I'm faced with the mirror on the wall. The empty feeling comes back again, this time it's different. It's like I don't know who's looking back at me. I don't recognize my reflex.
I get up and start to take off my coat and I look at the scars on my body. I don't know where they came from. Any of them.
I look back at the mirror and notice a wound on my neck that I don't recognize. A scar on my face that I don't remember how it got there.
Terror fills every inch of my body when I notice that my memories are gone. I look at the mirror again and I don't know who's looking back at me.
"Who are you?" I breathe out looking at my reflection as I tilt my head to the side, trying to understand who's on the other side.
I burst out of the house and towards the tower, trying to find something, someone that could tell me who I am. Suddenly I see A.L.I.E.
"Inanna, calm down." She tells me and my head snaps at her.
"Who am I?" I breathe out terrified.
"You're Inanna Hestia. You came down from The Ark to earth." She explains and I nod slowly.
"How did I get these scars?" I rise my shirt and show it to her.
"Inanna, you need to-"
"What happened to me?!" I scream at her when I feel someone touching my shoulder.
I turn around and see a man I knew. He was from The Ark, his name was Marcus Kane. I knew him.
"Inanna." He calls me. "What's going on?"
"Inanna, you're okay." A.L.I.E assures me.
"I'm not!" I scream back at her as the man looks as freaked out as me.
"Your leg. Thelonious, she needs help." He says steadily at another man. I knew him, his name was Jaha, he took me to the City of Light. I knew it in theory but I couldn't remember it.
The man was with another woman I didn't recognize but I knew I've met her before.
"You." I point at her. "What's your name?"
"Inanna. Calm down-" Jaha tells me but Kane interrupts him.
"Abby Griffin. She reported your father. Don't you remember?"
"My father... what happened to my father?" I look at them.
"Your father-" A.L.I.E starts talking again but I shout at her to shut up again.
"He died-" Kane's interrupted by two men taking him away by covering his face and dragging him to a room on the tower.
"Innana, you need to calm-"
