was.
I took some small steps forward. My back was against the wall which was now my support, saving me from kissing the ground, which was amazingly clean and smelled vanilla.
“She will start questioning,” Christopher said in the end. I heard how a sofa released a cry. She or he had put his butt on the soft place.
“You can bet on that. She will try to find out the truth and that isn't ... her situation is bad. Really bad. If she remembers who she is, it won't work. We could just put her back into that coffin and kill that guy.”
“But you know it isn't the solution. He is...that only that she...” Christopher seemed to have a lack of words and that only gave me more reasons to be suspicious. Who were those guys and why should I listen to them?
Yea, I had trust issues, but not because there were many people who had hurt me. That wasn't the reason why I always tried to avoid every living being in this world, who was standing on two feet. It was just because I could give all of myself to a total stranger. I wanted to believe that there weren't any bad people. That everyone had conscience and do only the right things. I just didn't want to be alarmed every day, hour, minute or second. And that scared me the most. What if the person to whom I could give my heart, my trust, will use me and throw me away like some kind of rubbish?
I took two more steps forward.
“I know,” the woman sighed. “It's just illogical. I have never heard that someone could remember his life after he came back to the living world. That seems strange and...dangerous. You know that hunters could be interested in her if they find out about her.”
“So, it's our job to keep her safe.”
Two more steps forward. The corridor wasn't very long, but if I step four or more, they could see me or hear how loud my heart was pounding in my chest.
“And that would be the problem, Christopher. It's impossible to keep her safe when she knows the truth.”
“But if we lie to her, she won't trust us and that will only give us more unnecessary things to deal with in the future. Do you want that?”
“Of curse not,” she sounded aggrieved. “We need to do our mission.”
“So?” he wanted to hear her answer which he knew already. But still, he needed to hear it out from her mouth, only to be sure that his imagination didn't end up with the wrong conclusion.
“We will tell her the truth,” she agreed reluctantly. She even sounded angry with that.
“Thank you,” Christopher said. “How are you feeling, Trinity?” he raised his voice. I petrified. He knew I was listening secretly to their conversation. I had to admit, he had a good hearing or there were secret cameras installed.
But I didn't hurry to confirm the fact that I was here. I even tried to crawl back to the door, but he appeared in front of me, not giving me a chance to save my dignity. He maybe even liked to make my cheeks red from shame, because his face soon was with a grin.
“You are getting stronger with every minute. That is...surprising,” he admitted and took my hand into his, helping me to keep my balance. Suddenly I felt dizzy. Everything started to move.
“Who are you?” I managed to ask, but I didn't hear his answer, because the darkness took me into the land of nothing.
Chapter four
A dog was barking and that was what forced me to open my eyes and look around. I was in bed, but this time the room was different. The walls were dark blue and had many painting on them, showing ships and castles. Almost like in my room.
I lifted my eyes up to see some windows built-in the roof. I could see a blue sky and the sun, shining and rewarding people with warmness and light. But this sun seemed a bit lazy.
“Autumn,” I said to myself as I lowered my eyes down to my hands.
I knew that I had died in summer. So, how long...was I dead?
I tried to leave my bed, but that nausea feeling hit me and I put my head on my pillow, trying to kill that sense. But it wasn't easy
