Myth is a story that was told in an ancient culture to explain a practice, belief, or natural occurrence. Kanisha is a girl who only dreamed of finding happiness before her time ends as she loses something that sustained her life energy. Hiding from the world and stayed quiet is her way to survive but one day a man forced himself to be with her but mocked her for being a weakling and useless. How could she hide from the cruel reality of the world when a certain man with captivating black eyes saved her from the brick of death? Most of all, what would she do when she found herself in the werewolf realm? After all, a mythical monster has the right to live too.
A faint memory appear in my mind as I watch a crying woman in front of me. Her hair is covering her face so I cannot see her. She keeps telling me "It's gonna be okay, love." I don't know this woman but why is she crying?
I tried to reach her but I couldn't, I want to comfort her but then a loud growl echoed that makes woman stop crying and cradle me into her arms as she run as fast as she can.
A smell of pine trees, moist ground, and other animals poking my nose so I guess were in the forest but why?
Then I saw a baby hand raised up and touch this woman's cheeks. I was shock for I don't know who's hand is this and it takes me awhile to understand it's my hand, Is this my past?
She keep running while I'm in her arms until we reach a waterfall and behind it is a cave. She slowly put me down as I held her.
"You will be strong my love as you grow up in this cruel world, just remember that everything will be okay." She kissed my forehead and she leave me alone in this cave.

I could feel the heat of the sun's rays in my face making my body squirm to avoid it.
By my given movement my head instantly pound like a hammer hammering a nail and it hurts so bad I wanna cut my head off then next is my body feels like being tossed several times in a rocky hill. I couldn't take it anymore as I scream in pain. Instantly, there are people touching me but I couldn't see them because I can't open my eyes as if they felt so heavy to lift up. My ears are useless as I only hear a stinging sound.
I felt fear in my current situation. Thinking that I might be captured by the Lycans and they slowly torture me to death.
I continue trashing in my position and scream at the top of my lungs. I need to get out of here is all I could think but it's impossible for my situation. A tear fell from my eyes rolling down to my cheeks as I release a sob. I've become weak and suddenly I felt a stinging pain in my right arm and a burning liquid entering my veins as I drifted to sleep.

I flicker my eyes open due to the loud noises. I wanted to sleep but I couldn't so I slowly get up and instantly regretted my action for it brings great pain to my body and being a Lamia didn't help either. I groaned a little, standing up I instantly find a bathroom, not really caring to my surrounding. When I enter the bathroom I immediately go to the sink which has a mirror in front. I was frozen in my spot as soon as I saw my reflection, I'm a mess just like my life, my hair is like a birds nest and I look much paler than my very pale skin which is like all the blood was drained and I look like a dead corpse.
I sigh and wash my face in the sink and when I look up I scream as I saw a face of a man. Bringing my hand into my heart I steady my breathing while looking at the eyes of a man that I don't want to see through the mirror. Silence wrap around us as we stared at each other's eyes so long I lost count of time. He was the one who break the silence.
"How are you?" He ask me calmly.
"Who are you?" I ask back. I know who he is but I just can't afford to face reality, yet.
He was stunned a little as he look at me the mirror. I turn around and face him and act as an innocent little girl who got lost in the woods full of creeps.
"I'm so-sorry for being rude mr. I'm just I-I I couldn't remember who am I or what's my name an-and it's just-I I'm." I stuttered and let a single tear run down my cheeks.
He slowly approach me but I step back which makes him stop.
"I'm not gonna hurt you, ok. Just come her and let me comfort you." He slowly said and extend his arms for me to take. Asshole.
"You're a st-stranger." I look down on my bare feet as if it was the most beautiful thing to see.
"I understand. Let me talk to the doctor and stay here and get some rest." He ordered which makes me furous but confused as well because he always force things out and this is new.
"Ok." Just like that he exited the bathroom and make his way out while I'm still standing with an evil grin in my face.
Resting in my bed I make myself comfortable. Its been awhile since I felt good lying on a comfortable bed with no worries of being killed.
Touching my short hair brings back ugly memories for the past 3 years of suffering. My senses are weak like if I was going to shift for sure I will be like a dying animal.
The door burst open but it doesn't make a sound. I was about to act like an innocent girl when she spoke.
"Long time no see."
I quickly look at the person who said it. Her soft light brown hair still captivating and her brown eyes.
"Coraline." I whispered.
She closed the door and slowly approach me with a smile on her face. She sit on the side of the bed and grab my hand, squeezing it lightly. I tried to hold back the tears that wanted to burst.
"I know what you are doing Kanisha." She whispered and look at the door then back to me.
"Doing what?" I ask back.
"Acting like you lost your damn memory." She rolled her eyes and smirk.
"Well, It's not bad if I do it besides it's better this way. No one can ask me about what happened for the past 3 years and my f*cking existence, except you." I make an annoyed face which earn a chuckle from her.
"I'm not gonna ask you Kanisha--" I cut her off.
"It's Kane, Kane Watson." I corrected her and she raised an eyebrow.
"Ok, Kane I'm not gonna ask you what happened but I will wait for the day that you would tell it in your own will." She smile.
"Ok but please don't tell that asshole about my fake memory lose." I begged her.
"Whatever but I tell you, he changed." She said and stand up when the door open again to reveal Nathan with a doctor by his side.
I gave a confused glance on Coraline and immediately act scared. Curl in a tiny ball and rock myself back and forth.
"She's fine but a little scared." Coraline said motionless. Nathan just nod at her and went to the bed with the doctor.
"Doctor Sain here will do a little test on you." He said softly. I just nodded.
The doctor did his job on me and gave him my results.
"I see no problem in her which is odd." He put his hands under his chin. "Do you remember your childhood? Mother? Father?"
I open my mouth to answer but closed it again.
"I don't know." it's not 'I don't remember' because as I thought about it I have no memories about my very past. "But I remember her." I pointed Coraline.
"I see. Alpha I think she is suffering from retrograde amnesia which is only temporary and it can be cure by exposing them from the memory from loss." He said. Natha only nodded and make him leave even Coraline is nowhere in sight. Just the two of us.
"Uhhh hi." I awkwardly smile at him to break the awful silence that engulfed us.
"Do you remember me?" He ask.
"Ummm No?" That came out as a question. I quickly cleared my throat. "No, I don't know you."
He raised an eyebrow and nodded.
"Rest." Just that then he leaves.
Leaving me on my lonely world all alone.
