-Thomas: Miss Emily is entering your study, master.

Thomas showed me a hand gesture, then closed the door and smiled at me before he closed the door, and yet I made sure the door was closed and then so father was on his desk with glasses on his nose and a feather in his left hand. I took to myself hmm who these days uses a Feather to write down the use pens then I opened my mouth because killing me.

-Emily: h..ello father.

I stuttered to say that, I had no idea what to call him: father, sir August, or just August, like what do you call a person who you just found out with your father, do you call him Dad I had no idea what to call, yet I saw him smiling putting down his glasses and smiling at me, then he just showed me to sit down in front of him there were two armchairs one of them I saw was taken by a person who I had not recognize but As I came closer I saw it was my brother I.. I jumped up and down and I went to hug him but then I heard him say:

-Brother: hello there umm your name again?

I looked shocked and waited a minute because I thought he was joking but no he looked at me like was a stranger then I looked back at August my father stared at him to give him a signal to explain what was going on but he wrote his eyes and just me again just sit down I did that and waited in patiently to tell me what's going on.

-August: listen, Emily. There's no easy way to say this but when we found your brother he was knocked down there was blood on his head and when we talked to the hospital he had severed a head injury when we tried to talk about you and show pictures of you and your deceased mother he had no recollection of it he only had her collection of his father and your stepmother he doesn't remember you but don't worry the doctor said that he might.

Father said that in a trembling voice yet looking at me as if I was about to cry I could see he was worried but that didn't matter to him I turned to my brother and asked him this.

-Emily: do you remember your name? Forget about my name, do you remember yours?

Answer the question twice because if he remembers his old name would that old witch's name that he gave them then we've lost him but if he just slightly remembers that his mother gave him his new mama gave him then they might be hope right thought that's me but I was watching him there he was thinking hard and Nothing came under his mouth but he spoke:

-Brother: i..I don't know my name,

He started to tear up. He stood up very fast and in his chair, he went around saying he didn't know his name. I felt bad for him so I stood up, grabbed his hands, and…

-Emily: your name is Alex.

Yet he looked down and started murdering something then he passed out in my arms.

I cried in pain, I cried so hard tears just started dripping down my cheeks, he was in my arms. I could not feel his heartbeat or maybe it was just me then I heard Arthur's chair squeak back and came quickly to my aid.

-Emily: please check if he is ok. He needs to be ok.

I cried as I said that.

-August: Thomas, come in!

He shouted so loud that I felt the whole room shake for a second. Thomas opened the door and I could see he was also shocked but he saw the situation so he shouted in the hallway to get a doctor get the royal doctor get a royal doctor.

Then the whole room shocked me I felt him getting away from me I took my ice cream for one second but then I saw father was scaring him I always hand and father said:

-August: Don't worry my Juliet I will take him to my room, for him to rest, you go with Thomas for fresh air ok?

I know that but I could not get up from that floor to signal to Thomas to come and get me. My legs were so weak, and I was so worried about my brother that I lost feeling in my legs. He entered the door right after her father left with Alex and he came close to me and asked me:

-Thomas: Do I have permission to come close and pick you up?

I knew that since I had no strain left in me he picked me up and I held his neck tightly, but before that, he let me his napkin and then proceeded to pick me up. He helped me tight and he started walking slowly down to my room and I could feel slowly and slowly closing my eyes I was exhausted all I could do was nothing he didn't remember me that's all I thought and then the nightmare a nightmare that woke me up so loud and then I saw Thomas I was holding Thomas's hand but Thomas also woke up because you know I kind of screamed you know, cause of what I SAW in my nightmare, and he hugged me Thomas hug me he hugged me, and I cried again in his arms, so embarrassing.

Yet I felt at ease and he comforted me until…

‘Knock’’knock’’knock’ at the door, I was startled cause I was wondering who was at the door. Thomas was too. Because no voice came from behind the door. Thomas, showed me to keep my mouth shut, yet I could not, so I made the ‘mistake’ to speak.

-Emily: hello! Who is out there?

-Man: ohh, miss it's me, Thomas! I have come to change your bandages. Can I come in?

I looked at Thomas confused, and whispered to him:

-Emily: Thomas!! Go to the bathroom. I will ask him to come in, and then you can jump him. Thomas shook his head in agreement.

-Emily: You can come in now.

And I saw a man I had never seen before. He looked nothing like Thomas, nor any servant I have seen so far in the mansion. I had a gut feeling that he was an assassin or worse a mercenary. He was slowly walking up to me. I could see the tray that ‘Thomas’ usually carries with an ointment but I knew he was a danger.

A mistake I made was turning my head, for a second because he took out a small knife and charged towards my back.

At that moment Thomas….

-Thomas: miss look out..

At that moment I remembered a self-defence move that I used, as the man was distracted by Thomas. I flipped the man onto the bed and tied his hands to the sheet of my bed.
