Ch. 3

When I woke up I saw the ceiling that I don't remember and I started freaking out. Then I remember that I died on my way home from work and that I'm being punished by the God of Death for yelling at him, she, it, I don't know all I remember after that is waking up in a frail body of a child and seeing all the dead rotting bodies on the road and being found by some soldiers. When one of them picked me up I passed out, then I woke up here where ever here is. I heard the door open while I was looking around the room I was in. A beautiful blonde hair woman walked in the room she was wearing a simple green sundress that matched her eyes. "Hello there little one, how are you feeling this morning?", She asked me. "I'm.... I'm ok." I replied nervously, "You don't have to be scared of me little one my name is Julia, And I'm the care taker of the orphanage.".

"What is your name little one?" she asked me "My name is.... my name is." *What is my name I know I had a name in my last life but I can't even remember it.* I sat there shocked that I couldn't even remember my own name. "I don't know my own name." I thought I said in my head but turns out I said it out loud, next thing I know Julia is wrapping her arms around and giving me a big hug and using one of her hands petting the back of my head saying in my ear that it was okay everything was going to be okay that I don't need to cry. It was when she said that is when I realized that I was crying. I started to cry my eyes out like I have had before. My eyelids started growing heavier and then I passed out in Julia's arms.

POV Julia.

When the child fell asleep I gently laid him down and covered him up. I stood up and I walked back towards the door and I opened it when I was about to close it I looked at the sleeping child and I felt bad for him. I closed the door as quietly as possible, I walked back down the hall to the living room where I saw my brother James sitting there. When I walked in he looked up at me and asked "How is he?", "Doing the best he can I believe given the circumstances, that you found him in.". After hearing that he nodded his head, "It must have been terrible to witness all that brutality at such a young age." I just nodded my head, "Does he remember anything?" James asked me when I finally sat down, I could only shake my head "He doesn't even remember his own name, He must have blocked his memory in his own mind as not to remember any of it." I responded. He side "I can tell Sir Creast that the child locked his memory on it." he said absent-mindedly in a low voice. "I'm worried about him, he is just skin and bones." I said. "What did the doctor say earlier when he saw him?" my brother asked me "Soup until he put on some weight and no solid food or it could kill him." I replied thinking about the doctor that came over earlier when James brought the child over after he came back. James stared into the fire in the fireplace, I could see it on his face that he was thinking about something. Then I started thinking about how hard it is going to be that child when he gets healthy he will have to start his military training. Like all the other boys in the orphanage he must join the military when he becomes of age. Just thinking about it I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. When I got done with my thoughts I looked at my brother again and saw that he fell asleep in the chair. I got up and got him and myself a blanket from the cabinet, then I walked towards him and put the blanket on him and I walked over to the couch and laid down and covered myself up and slowly fell asleep thinking about tomorrow.

POV OC.

I woke up again and saw the ceiling of the orphanage and side secretly hoping that everything so far was a bad dream. But to my dismay wasn't a bad dream but my life now. I heard the door open and I saw Julia walk in with a bowl I could smell whatever that was in it smelled delicious and my stomach started growling like a wild beast. Julia chuckled and sound my stomach made and said "It's soup you can't eat anything to heavy on your stomach or you could die." she said. I just nodded not caring if was just soup because I was so hungry that I would probably just about anything that was put in front of me at the moment. I struggle to set up to be able to eat my soup and when I was finally able to set up I was out of breath I felt like I just did a workout of a lifetime. Julia sat on the edge of my bed with of concern in her eyes, "I'm..... okay." I told her catching my breath. I nodded at her when I was ready to eat. She bought the bowl up to my mouth I started to drink it a little bit at a time because when I tried to drink it to fast she would take it away and tell me to take it slow because I didn't want to choke on it and die. I could only nod when she said that and she brought the bowl back up to my mouth so I could drink more soup. When the bowl was empty I felt so full, like how people feel after eating multiple plates at an all you can eat buffet. She put the bowl on the nightstand beside the bed I was in and help me lay down and my eyes lids got heavy again and I feel back into a dark dreamless sleep.
