Smiling to myself because I was as pleased as a pig rolling in mud at our half-assed plan, I made my way through the streets of the city, Crystal at my side. My lips pressed together and I started humming, that same familiar tune I always used to calm my crazy racing heartbeat, because truth be told, I was nervous. Having literally half a plan should have made me tuck tail and continue hiding, but instead, there I was, weaving in and out of the shadows without a care in the world. All in the hopes that a certain tracker would find me.

Then, I would kill him.

“Hey! Where did you learn that song?” Crystal asked, grabbing my shoulder and pulling me to a stop in front of a bookstore.

Meeting her eyes with a frown, I shrugged. “Not sure. It’s always came to me as far back as I can remember. I thought I must’ve made it up or something. Why?”

“That song … my mom used to hum it to me as a little girl. The thing is, I remember my dad always getting angry, and they continued arguing until late hours of the night about it behind closed doors. Like it was supposed to be some kind of secret or something.” Rubbing her forehead, Crystal’s eyebrows puckered, bunching together when she dropped her hands to her side. “I don’t know, I’m finding it a little strange that you are humming the exact melody right now.”

Absentmindedly nodding, I agreed with her. It was strange, especially because it almost seemed as if someone had gone to great lengths to assure I didn’t remember where that little tune had come from if what she was telling me was truth. Had my memory been erased? I wanted to say yes, but I honestly had no clue. Either way, what Crystal said unsettled me more than I wanted to admit.

My feet moved, and Crystal followed, both of lost within the deep recesses of our minds. Words just wouldn’t come in that moment, so the silence stretched between us, adding an additional wedge in the fragile friendship we’d formed. I was sure the poor girl walking beside me thought I was lying to her. Hell, I would think I was lying to her too, but sadly, there wasn’t anything I could do or say that would change her mind in that moment.

Because I had nothing. My early life was another black hole I never looked too close at.

Wandering through the city brought us back to where it had all started last night, and this morning. The alley.

“This is where it happened, huh?” Crystal said.

Jerking my head up, I glanced down the dark, gaping chasm shoved between two large brick buildings, suppressing the shiver trying to inch up my spine. “Yup.” I kept forgetting Crystal just recently got her memories back, so this would be like she was reliving everything all over again.

For some reason, I expected Elijah to be hanging around here, but I didn’t know why.
