Fuzzy Memories
Posted: Tue Mar 26, 2013 3:08 am
Hello! I made a fan fiction! Well, actually, I made a lot already but, here's one I made that looks like it's worth posting. Right, so I don't really have a title yet, unfortunately... Hopefully I can think of one soon enough. So, um, right, comments, suggestions and anything at all is appreciated. Let me know your honest opinion. But please don't be too cruel, okay...? Okay!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I feel pain on my side. Actually, not just on my side, but pretty much my entire body. I couldn’t move. Even the slightest inch will give me a small sharp pain. I groggily open my eyes and find myself in an empty room. Well, not really empty. There’s this soft bed I’m on, a drawer and cabinet to my right, a few paintings on the wall and some monitors and machines or something to my left. But since I’m the only one here, I guess you could say it’s… empty.
‘Oooookay… where am I?’
It’s quiet. The only sounds I can hear are my breathing and the beeping from the monitors next to me. I try sitting up to get a better view of where I am, only to feel another sharp pain to my side.
‘Ouch, that hurt.’ I sigh in defeat and lie back down.
‘What happened anyways?’ I ask myself. I feel my head start to pound and I cringe in pain. ‘And… why does my… head hurt?’
I hear the door open. I quickly close my eyes and pretend that I’m asleep. I stay motionless and hear footsteps enter the room.
“Here he is. Poor little fella…”
“Is he gonna be okay doctor?”
“Don’t worry. He’ll recover in a few days or so.”
“I hope he gets better…”
“He’ll be fine. I’m sure of it.”
“Now, um, Mr. and Mrs. Sandwich, is it? May I speak to both of you outside for a moment?”
“Okay, doctor. Grape, stay here and watch him for us while we’re gone, okay?”
“Okay mom…”
I hear footsteps leaving the room and the sound of the door shutting. I think they left. But then why do I get this feeling that someone’s staring at me? Oh yeah, one of them stayed behind. Grape, huh? That’s an unusual name for someone.
“Well, hope you get better soon, whoever you are.” Grape sighs. “It’s really quiet with Peanut staying at home. I wonder what he’s doing right now…”
Peanut? Seriously, I can’t believe that’s what parents’ name their kids nowadays.
I slowly open my eyes and see a purple-furred cat next to me.
‘Oh, so that’s why you’re named Grape…’
“Oh, um, hi.” she waves at me. “So, uh… how are you feeling?”
I nod weakly. “Okay…”
“Good to know.”
She averts her gaze somewhere else and an awkward silence occurs.
“So, um, Grape, is it?” I ask softly. “Where am I?”
“Oh, you’re in the vet.” she answers.
Vet… which is short for veterinary, which is like a hospital for animals. Huh, guess that explains all those monitors next to me. I wonder… what happened to me?
The door opens again and three humans enter the room, one female and two males, one of them looks like a doctor. “Oh, he’s awake.” he says.
“Hey there, little guy…” the other man kneels down next to my bed. “I’m Mr. Sandwich.” he gestures to the female behind him. “This is Mrs. Sandwich, my wife. And this is Grape.” He motions toward the cat.
I force a small smile. “Nice to meet you.” Well, it would’ve been nice if I’m not, you know… injured or something. “So, um…” I begin quietly, “What’s going on?”
“We were hoping you could tell us.” the doctor says. “Mr. and Mrs. Sandwich brought you here when they found you on their way home from work.”
“Wait, where did you find me?” I ask.
“In an empty alley near our neighborhood.” Grape replied. “You were all covered in cuts and bruises so they rushed you here as fast as they could.”
“Lucky enough we were able to revive you just in time. But we still need to know, what happened out there and how did you get those injuries?” the doctor asks.
I think for a second. ‘Hm, what DID happen to me…? I… I don’t know…’ I try harder to remember but then I feel my head start to throb.
“Ahh…” I cringed in pain. “I… I’m sorry. I-I can’t remember…”
“Don’t force yourself. You’re still recovering.” the doctor says.
“Do you think he has Amnesia?” Mrs. Sandwich asks.
“Maybe, I’m not sure. He may have to stay here for another few days.”
“What about your name? Do you still remember it?” Grape asks.
I close my eyes and start thinking. ‘My name…’ I search my mind for anything that could be my name, but find nothing.
I shake my head. “Sorry… can’t remember it either.”
“That’s not good…” the doctor says. “Well, is there anything else you remember? Your family? Friends? Relatives? Anything at all?”
I close my eyes again and think. I search my mind again for something but still nothing comes out. My memories of everything that’s happened to me are gone. Or maybe, they weren’t here to begin with. It’s like my mind’s gone blank. Completely empty…
I shake my head again. “Sorry…” I frowned. “I really can’t remember anything…”
“Oh, don’t worry.” Mr. Sandwich pats my shoulder. “I’m sure your memory’s gonna come back. Right, doctor?”
The doctor nods. “After a few days of recuperation, I’m sure you’ll get better soon. Just some rest and medicine will make it all better, okay?”
I nod. “Okay…”
There’s a knock on the door and a nurse comes in. “Doctor, there’s another patient waiting for you in the next room.”
“Oh yes, I almost forgot. Well, sorry to leave unexpectedly but I have to go.”
The nurse and the doctor leave the room.
“Oh dear, look at the time.” Mrs. Sandwich says, looking at her watch. “We have to get home soon. You know how Peanut is when we leave him alone too long.”
“Right…” he nods and turns to me. “Looks like we have to get going too.”
“Sorry to leave you all by yourself.” Grape says.
“No, no, it’s okay. I’ll be fine.” I lied.
“Well, good bye.” Mr. and Mrs. Sandwich leave the room and Grape follows.
“Oh, right.” she stops and takes out something from under the bed. “Here, mom and dad said you had this with you when they found you.”
She gives the object to me and I hold it in my paws. “What… is it?”
She shrugs. “I don’t know but I think it’s yours.”
I stare at the object in contemplation. ‘I wonder what this is…’
“Well, I got to go.” Grape heads for the door.
“Wait.” I stop her.
“Yeah?”
“Y-you guys are coming back to visit… right?” I say hesitantly.
“Uh, sure. Why not?” she smiles as she leaves and closes the door behind her.
I sigh to myself. “Alone again…”
I hold out the object in my paws to look at it. “It looks like a box. I wonder what’s inside it…”
I open the box and I hear a gentle melody begin to play. It sounds like a lullaby, sounds so soothing. My mind becomes at ease again. As I continue to listen to the soft tune playing, I start to feel… something. I don’t know what it is and it’s hard to describe it. It feels all warm and… mushy. Is that the right word? I look at the box again and upon closer inspection, I notice something inside it. It looks like a tag for a collar. I feel my neck with my paw and-
“Wait! W-where’s my collar?!” I cried softly. “Eeeew, I’m naked…” I cover myself with the bed sheets in embarrassment and feel my face start to flush. Guh, I hope they didn’t notice.
I take out the tag from the box and gaze at it. It’s in the shape of a heart. Wow, a heart. And this is supposed to belong to me? I search for a name on the tag but see nothing. No name, no address, no anything. Wow, that sure helps a lot.
I stare at the tag again and see my reflection. My eyes are pink, and so is my fur.
“That’s me?” I look at my paws and tail to double-check. “Great, I even forgot what I looked like. That’s not good…”
I sigh to myself. “Oh well…” I place the tag back in the box, lie back down on my pillow and listen to the soft melody playing from the box. “All my memories… gone from my mind. I guess this is Amnesia, huh. Not much I can do now, except maybe sleep.” I close my eyes and begin to drift away from consciousness.
‘Who knows, maybe I’ll remember when I wake up. Maybe…”
