Gone Twisted
Why?
Rays of light slowly crept up to her, centimetre by centimetre... finally they softly stroked her eyes.
The first signs of movement. The first sign of her finally waking up again.
"I think she's coming to, my Lord" she heard a voice state in the distance.
"What will she remember?"
"I don't know, my lord. One seldom has the power to choose which memories are forgotten if you erase them yourself."
"You want to tell me, that she maybe still remembers everything?"
"No, it is more likely that she has forgotten everything."
"Stupid child. But I guess we don't have to wor-" the voice cut itself off as the girl opened her eyes. "Good morning," it said instead.
The girl looked at the man in front of her in confusion. His form was of a tall, skeletally thin and frail looking snake-like man with nearly translucent skin. His dark scarlet eyes were set in slits like a cat's; his nose was flat as a snake's and his fingers - with which we had taken a hold of her hand - were unnaturally long and thin, like a spider's legs with long, sharp, pale blue fingernails. And the slit he was talking out if, didn't seemed to be missing lips. She felt an initial, but not logically explainable fear when looking at him.
Carefully she eyed him up and down, taking in the fine black clothes he was wearing and trying to make sense of his existence. Then her eyes wandered over to another figure that was standing a few metres back. He was a thin man with sallow skin and a large, hooked nose. He had shoulder-length, greasy black hair which framed his face in curtains. With him came a feeling of warmth that she couldn't place either, but it all confused her to no ends.
"Ashlin," the snake-like man said forcefully, making her attention snap back to him but she still stared confused.
"Who are you?" it were the first words she spoke.
"What do you remember?"
The girl looked at past the snake man and tried to remember... everything... anything?
"I... I don't remember..." she said quietly, whispering to herself. "I..." she said again, her head starting to throb and hurt. "Why can't I remember?" she asked, tears starting to form in her eyes.
