Chapter One

Alex's POV

"Close your eyes and take a deep breath Alex" Mason said and I did.

"Relax your muscles and free your mind, let the darkness take over" I heard him say and I sighed freeing all my body and letting the darkness overwhelm me.

"Now picture yourself in a car Alex, you are just 12 years old and you're in a car with your parents!"

Mason's voice slowly faded as I opened my eyes to see myself in a car with Mom and Dad.

"We are going to the States Alex" Dad said while driving.

"But why?" I asked.

"We can no longer live here, we'll be better off in the States" Mom said.

"Since I'll be starting a new school then, can you get me into a medical school there?"

"Why do you want to get into a medical school?" Mom asked.

"Cause I want to be a Neurosurgeon like you Mom" I said and they laughed.

"Sure, we'll get you enrolled in a medical school and when you grow up, you'll definitely be the best Neurosurgeon in the world" Dad said.

"Really? Will I be able to the best Neurosurgeon in the world?" I asked.

"You have an IQ of 200 son, you are one of the smartest kid the world has ever known so am sure you'll be able to do it" Mom said.

"Then I'll definitely fulfil your wish, I am going to be the best Neurosurgeon in the world."

"Now tell me, what do you see?" Mason's voice asked.

"I am in a car with Mom and Dad, we are going to travel out of the country" I said subconsciously.

"Yes, what happened next?" Mason's voice asked.

The car kept moving but everything was starting to become blurry.

"I....I...can barely see anything" I said.

"Focus Alex, you have to remember what happened that night, it's in your memory, remember it!" I heard Mason say.

Everywhere was suddenly pitch black and I quickly opened my eyes and stood up.

"Did it work? Did you see anything? Did you remember something?" Mason asked.

"It didn't work Mason, I saw nothing, everywhere was just pitch black."

"But this is an advanced hypnosis method, if this didn't work then I don't know what will" Mason said.

"We can't just give up, my tremors started after the police found me unconscious on the road the next morning, I have a lot of questions Mason, why did my parents suddenly disappear, why was I alone on the road the next morning, why did my tremors start from that day and why can't I remember anything that happened that night? Am sure they are all connected to each other Mason and you know am right."

"Yeah, you are right, that night holds the key to solving your tremors, something must have happened that night that triggered your tremors and if we ever have a chance of curing it, it lies in you remembering. I'll make more research, you should go to work, I'll call you when I find something else we can try."

"Thanks Mason" I said as I took my suit jacket and walked out.

I entered my car and drove off to the hospital.

Mason is my therapist, when the police found me unconscious the next morning after that night, I was all shaken up, my legs and hands where shaking vigorously beyond my control and that's how the tremors started.

The police decided I needed some help with my mental health and I was taken to Mason, he has been my therapist ever since and now he's grown to be more of a fatherly figure to me.

For the past 17 years, I've been wondering what happened that night. All I remember is that we were on a car going to the airport cause we wanted to move out of the country and then nothing, the next thing I remember is the policemen waking me up in the middle of the road and I was all alone, my parents were nowhere to be found, up till now.

Jasmine's POV

"Breakfast is ready Megan!" I called as I set the dinning table.

"Perfect, I was getting really hungry" she said as she walked into the dinning, yawning.

"Toasted bread and bacon, yummy" she said and started munching into her food.

"Aren't you going to work today?" I asked.

"No, Doctor Ryan won't be at the hospital today, he doesn't have any surgeries to perform today too and since am the anaesthesiologist in his surgery team, I'm free for today" Megan replied.

"What about you? Still no reply from the National hospital?" She asked.

"Yeah, I've submitted all the documents they required and my interview was a success but I don't know why they haven't called me for the job."

"Patience Jas, the National hospital isn't an easy place to get a job in but since you are such an amazing doctor, am sure you'll be called to work soon" Megan said and I sighed.

"I hope you are right"

Megan is my cousin and we've been living together since we got into college though she's a year older than me.

My phone beeped and I took it to check what it was.

"Holly Molly!! Megan are you a psychic?"

"If am a psychic then I'll be out saving the world right now, why? What's wrong?" She asked and I showed her the message I just received.

"Woah!! You got the job!" She exclaimed.

"And I am to start work tomorrow!"

"This is amazing Jas, we should totally celebrate it, I'll go get a drink" she said as she walked out of the dining.

I can't believe I'm really going to start working in one of the best hospitals in the whole world.

"My dream has come true!" I squealed.
