Chapter 20: Headache
|KADENA CHAIN|
 Funny how I left the hospital in a hurry and now I was brought back in a hurry; as a patient.
 I could feel pain all over my body and I could curse it for all I want but the pain in my head wouldn’t let me. I felt like it’ll explode any moment and I couldn’t do anything but wait for it. My eyes were begging me to open them but to no avail. My throat felt deserted and wished some rain to pass by. Yeah, I could only wish.
 “If you’re planning to be sleeping beauty, you’re no princess so wake up, bitch.” If only I could roll my eyes but even trying a small movement, it already caused me too much pain. I could only do it in my head as I let my eyes adjusted with the brightness and wait it to open. Bish was here which means Foren and little Chazer were too. 
 “Is she awake?” Foren’s voice filled my ears. I tried to move my fingers and I succeeded. Someone held my hand and its warmth reached my freezing senses. I felt like I slept for a week causing my body to be sore.
 “Hey, can you open your eyes?” As soon as she asked me that, my eyelids softened and the first thing I saw was the white ceiling above and the light blue curtains around the bed I was admitted at.
 At my right, Foren was there smiling at me while giving me a slight grip on my hand. Bish’s at my left, her arms crossing over her chest while looking at me with her bitchy stare. She’s really a bitch.
 “Water . . .,” my throat feels dry and my voice is hoarse. Maybe because I didn’t had water for a long time.
 Foren let go of my hand and reached a glass of water on the side table near my bed. I looked at Bish and from the looks of it, she already knew what I wanted to ask her.
 “You’re unconscious for two days. It’s already mid five in the afternoon,” she told me while she carefully assisted me to sit on the bed. She put a pillow behind and I felt like it has been forever since I felt this soft at my back. I already want to go home and feel my bed.
 “And little Chazer?” I asked, my voice slowly getting its normal range. 
 I watched her pulling a chair and put it beside the bed. She heaved a sigh and later on casually crossed her legs. “I let him stay in my parent’s house for a while.” She spoke.
 “We didn’t tell what happened and told him to treat it as his little vacation,” Foren added as she approached us with a glass of water. 
 I drank like I had never tasted water before. It felt forever. When I was done, I put it back to Foren’s hands. After that, silence ruled over us three.
 “So?” Raising a brow, Bish looked at me fiercely. Like I have no choice but to tell them what happened but I also don’t know what even happened.
 “Trust me, girls. It was an accident,” I raised my right hand to prove myself right and honest. But the looks on their faces proved me the latter.
 “So, you’re telling us that your stupidity caused you this? That makes sense if you’re going to ask me,” Bish is Bish, her mouth really proves what she really is. Rolling y eyes, I heaved a deep breath while reminiscing what happened that night.
 I was driving like what I usually do when something couldn’t rest inside my head. I couldn’t get it off my mind that I didn’t know it’ll caused me harm.
 Dash being a Villadeza is one thing. But a murder? What the heck is happening?
 “That’s what happened.” I told them what exactly happened. They looked at me like I lost my brain somewhere and I looked stupid right now.
 I could only roll m eyes at them as I try to think. Maybe I lost a screw and I was being like this. Full of nonsense.
 “Dash? Who’s that? Do you have some sort history of amnesia? Like, hey! We’ve known you since time immemorial, we couldn’t have missed that one thing, right?” I unconsciously scratched my hand.
 “Foren’s right. What if that’s the case? Do you think it’ll be making more sense?” I looked at both of them and let myself be at daze.
 I no longer know what the hell is happening right now. I know I had doubts but it didn’t cross my mind that I lost something, worst, a memory.
 I grew up . . . but come to think of it, I could only remember the time when I grew up and it suddenly jumped to when I met the girls. Something is missing and I need to find whatever it is.
 “It’s possible,” after a moment, I replied. I looked at both of them and we couldn’t even name our expressions right now.
 We were lost in a war of unknown. 
 “You still need to rest, Kad. Stop thinking about it for a while. We’re here no matter what, okay?” Foren, as much as I want to sneer at her like I normally do, I nodded silently.
 I watched them leave me behind after they told me they had to fetch Chazer because he was crying nonstop, looking for her mother. Bish on the other hand need to stop by somewhere. 
 I tried not to think further but the voices were starting to live inside my head as if they were trying to make me insane. 
 The voices getting louder and louder as seconds passed by causing me to reached for my hair and pulled it. My head was starting to rebel against those voices, trying to make it disappear but it admitted defeat even before it can start. 
 A scream left my mouth and I could hear footsteps approaching but the pain was too much that I couldn’t even sense y surroundings anymore. I couldn’t feel my body and I could only rely on something, even I couldn’t fathom. 
 Darkness pulled me once again.
 I was standing, I know fore sure but I also know that I wasn’t conscious. I’m inside my dreams again . . . or memories that I lost. 
 A scream caught my attention. It was at the end of the dark alley I was standing. I know that I shouldn’t go there but I also know that I should.
 I don’t know anymore. 
 “Dash?” I could hear a voice and it seemed like I couldn’t deny it anymore that it was me, my voice. It was the forgotten me that I was about to uncover right at this moment.
 “No! Dash! What to do . . . what to do,” the voice kept murmuring words that I couldn’t fathom. It was as if this forgotten memories of mine was too cruel for it to be kept inside my head, in a place I shouldn’t have opened.
 For I shouldn’t have at all.
 I saw him. I saw his body, a bloody one. I saw how a knife was at his heart, blood was flowing nonstop. Tears were uncontrollably flowing and voice kept screaming amidst the silence of the night. 
 I saw myself, my hands filled with blood; his blood.
 “W-What . . . What did I just see?” I muttered under my breath but I could no longer move my body when I saw myself looked at me straight in the eyes. 
 “You! You shouldn’t be here. You shouldn’t have done that! You shouldn’t have been here in the first place! Leave!”
 I was stunned for a moment. I kept opening my mouth to say something but words were not coming out. Until I screamed when someone hold my neck, making me lose the air in my body.
 “Die! You shouldn’t be here! He will kill you that’s why I killed him!” she laughed and it never occurs to me how different and how evil she looked right now.
 She gripped on my neck harder and I could feel my death at the back of my head. She stared at my eyes as a sinister grin appeared on her lips.
 “I will die if I didn’t kill him first, Chey. You killed him.”
 “Kad! Oh, my god! What happened?” was all I heard and I lost my consciousness once again.
