Aron's Pov
"Uta uta, i la bemi"
The strange chanting rang though my ear and continued. I looked around me and saw that i wasn't in my room anymore, i was lying on the ground in a forest.
"What's going on?" I was confused
"Aron come back" a strange voice said
"Who are you?" I stood up immediately
"The one who birthed you and covered you in a purple rob, I am he who keeps his magic eyes on you guiding you wherever you go. Come back to us" the voice said
"I don't...."
Before I could finish, a hand grabbed me from behind and threw me to towards a large tree. I crashed on the tree and yelled in pain, the hand came closer and started strangling me
"No...st..stop!!!!"
*****
"Hey are you okay? Mr? Mr?!"
"Please don't kill me" i yelled as I suddenly woke up, panting in fear
"Are you okay?"
My heart was pounding heavily, i tired calming down but the voice kept ringing in my head
"I birthed you.."
"Are you okay?"
I looked beside me to see the woman who saved me, her face looked worried and she wrapped her arms around me trying to calm me down.
"I...i had a nightmare" i stammered
"Oh it's okay, maybe you're just going through trauma from the bombing incident" she rubbed my back slowly
My fears vanished and I finally felt calm, i relaxed into her arms and closed my eyes trying to catch my breath
"Um do you need some water or glass of warm milk? It might help" she offered
"Water....water will do" i said
"Okay I'll be right back"
She rushed out of the room and quickly came back with a glass of chilled water, i grabbed it from her and gumbled it up
"Thanks" i said wiping my lips
"You're welcome. Are you feeling okay now?" She said still hugging me
"Yeah" i nodded "sorry"
"For what?" She asked as she took the cup and kept it on the side table
"For waking you up and putting you through all this stress" i said looking at her face
The light in the room was dim so I could only see her eyes, they were fierce but warm and full of hidden compassion
"It's fine, i mean you're going through alot and I understand" she smiled
"I know but seriously thank you so much" i said
"No need to thank me" she said
We both kept quiet and just stared into space, lost in our own thoughts.
"Um i should go to my room since you're all better" she said breaking the silence
"Oh..."
She quickly removed her arms wrapped around me and stood up from the bed.
"Goodnight" she said with her head bent
"Goodnight" i said
She nodded nervously and started walking towards the door but suddenly stopped on the way
"Um i never got your name" she said with her back still turned to me
"Aron, that's the only thing I can remember about me" i chuckled "what about you?"
"Aurora..." She turned "Aurora Starry, wish that was the only thing I could remember about me" she chuckled
"Nice name, Northern lights" i smiled
"What does Aron mean?" She said
"I thought you were going to sleep?" I said ignoring her question
I couldn't tell her the meaning cause the name sounded strange and I didn't even know how i got it
"Oh sorry. Um bye" she said and walked out of the room
I collapsed on the bed and looked at the ceiling. Something strange was happening to me and I'm starting to question whether it was really a good idea remembering my past or identity.
"Who am I? I keep seeing pictures of dead bodies, bombs, juju and so many demonic things. If only I could remember"
Sometimes the past tries crawling back but haunts you as well.
