The Other Side Of The Full Moon

understand. How different can they be? I mean humans are all the same no matter where you go, that much I knew.

I guess my only option is to wait and see.

Days went by in a blur after that. Vivien coming and going, me just lying on the bed thinking about the life I had. Well, didn really have a life if Im honest, my memories were lost to me and I didn know how to get them back. On my last day in the hospital, Deimos came by to visit me and with some good news too.

So I have found a little place for you, just outside the main town. The people still don know you and they are a little careful of outsiders, so I think it would be for the best for you now, to stay there until we start to trust you.

Do you think it will take long? I cracked a smile.

We gonna have to wait and see, little one. But you don look like a threat so I doubt it will take long. he smiled.

It annoyed me how he kept calling me little one. I mean, yeah I was small compared to others, more malnourished maybe, but still, it irked me deep inside.

Okay,I took a deep breath. What now? I asked sitting up in bed.

Now you dress up and Ill take you home. he put a bag of clothes in my lap. Don take too long, I have a business to attend.

I only nodded taking the bag in my arms and walking into the bathroom. I quickly changed from my hospital gown into the clothes he brought me. It was black leggings, a hoodie that was too big, and a pair of runners, that actually fit me perfectly.

I walked out of the bedroom and turned to him.

Im ready.

Lets go. He stood up and led me out of the room. it was the first time I left the room I was in for three weeks. It was refreshing. As I looked around I realized that the hospital was mostly covered in dark colors and I turned to Deimos to ask him.

Its for the patients. While the color white looks clean and all, with the dark its easier for them to open their eyes for the first time. Much more like for yourself. He smiled.You know when you wake up after some sleep and you
e met with a bright light and you can barely see anything because of it?

Yeah I get it, its rather nice of them to think it. I nodded in approval.

We walked through the entrance doors and I was met with sunshine. It really felt like a real spring now, it was warm and beautiful outside, with flowers everywhere your eyes land. It was a pretty sight after so long of being bedridden, though I still felt the pain in my back, it was minimal and doctor Vivien said I will heal completely after a couple of weeks. Though Ill have some nasty scars forever.

He led me through some paths covered by large trees and I never felt more at home. It was beautiful here. The were a couple of houses there and here, but I could see the main part just ahead, though he led me on a different path away from there.

Some people choose to live further away from the turmoil of the village, the ones who want more privacy.He said. Come, your cabin is just up ahead. He nodded forward and I followed.

Not long after we stepped in front of a little house, truly a cabin. it was tiny, yet it looked cozier than anything. He unlocked the door and stepped inside, me after him. He stopped in the middle of the room what seemed to be the heart of the cabin.

Its nothing much but has everything you need. Don leave your cabin today, get some rest and settle in. Tomorrow I will come to get you in the morning to meet everyone and assign a job for you.He smiled.

Deimos took my hand and put the key into my palm, smiled once more, and left through the door we had just come from.

I took a deep breath and looked around, in the big living space I stood now, was a small kitchen, a fireplace with a small loveseat and an armchair, and a table with two chairs standing beside the window. There was a small bookshelf pushed further down beside the door which I assumed was a bedroom. I walked through to the door and opened it, indeed it was a bedroom. The room was small, but it still held a large double bed and a dresser. I walked around the room to another door that was leading into the bathroom. It was spacious enough, with a shower, toilet, and a sink. There was a big mirror hung above the sink and I walked toward it. I looked into my reflection but didn recognize the girl that was staring back at me. My hair was long and pearl white, now a messy bush on my head. My face was beautiful, yet tired. My skin was fair, without imperfections, soft plump lips, and big sky blue eyes that now held terror. I looked like a scared kid.

And at the moment I felt like it. Though I didn know my age nor my real name, I was ready to find out.
