CHAPTER TWO

TITLE:

"Let's Live Again"

"Miss! What are you saying?!"

The woman suddenly grabbed Alcina's shoulders with a worried look. Alcina could see the anxiety in her eyes, just by the sweat the woman had in her face. The physician was the same. Their face looked like as if they have committed something serious. More serious than a heinous crime.

"Are you really sure...Do you really not remember anything?" The physician turned to ask. But continued, "If you really can't, then tell me just tiny detail of what you remember..."

"Well, I can talk the same language as you do so maybe that's the only part I can remember..."

Alcina is totally talking nonsense now.

"Anything but that, miss?"

"Well...actually I remember..."

With her sentence hanging in a moment of silence, the two people deeply hoped to not hear what they are about to hear from Alcina's mouth.

But, tragically their souls left when she suddenly said,

"Wait...don't tell me there isn't a bathroom here?"

'Our mistress has lost its sanity..' They both thought.

"Doctor, what is the treatment for crazy people like her?"

"Sadly, there isn't."

What?

Sometime later. The doctor finally had the conclusion of Alcina's condition.

"Welp, she indeed has amnesia."

"What?"

After a solid of two hours, you just realize that?

Alcina thought. But she continued to listen for the doctor to say,

"...Her head seems to be normal, but the legs might be broken. We don't know if she could ever walk or she might be a crippled forever."

"Wait, doc, is there really no treatment for her legs?"

The doctor stayed silent for a moment and had a deep darkness glooming over his face for a moment.

"Sadly, there isn't. I am sorry."

Sabrina let out a huge gasp and a cracking voice after, "No...poor young mistress..."

Instantly, the two's faces drooped on the floor. Unable to accept the reality.

Contrary to them, Alcina had a different expression.

Hey, shouldn't I be the one being depressed? Why are these guys more tragic than me?

After the physician left, finally a serious conversation began.

"Young mistress..."

"Y-yes?"

Looking at Alcina's condition, Sabrina took her "situation" as concerning that she was highly in concern.

"Oh, young mistress! Just why did you have to suffer like this!" She cried. But she didn't stop. "If I had been there and came with you, nothing would have happened! Just why didn't I protect you..."

"Ummm..." Alcina raised her hands, intending to stop Sabrina from worrying but her complaints started piling up.

"I knew I wasn't fit for this job but now...I can't even bear to see the tragedy I have inflicted. Now, my poor mistress's legs is broken and can never walk again!"

Hey! The doctor said that I "may not" be possibly be able to walk! Not definitely "can't"!

Although, even Alcina doubted that thought. But Sabrina' cries started getting exaggerated to the point that Alcina wanted to disappear.

"Just why did I do that! Why! Just why!"

Okay, that's enough...more than enough.

But before Alcina could even say something, suddenly, Sabrina's next sentence shook her.

"--Just why did you have to fell from the stairs and lose your memories too! Huhu!" She cried. Hugging Alcina gently in her arms.

Although, Alcina was stunned by the sudden physical touch, she was more shocked to hear the news that the maid had delivered.

"Wait.... stairs? What stairs are you saying? You mean I fell off?"

Sabrina then let go of her while continuing to hold Alcina's arms gently. She looked at Alcina in deep regret and an ounce of guilt. Thinking about it, she had to lower her head, ashamed of the thought.

"If only I was there, I could have saved you. If only, I had come together with you... I would have... you wouldn't have..."

Before Sabrina could continued, Alcina had to cut her off. "Wait a minute... explain it to me in detail."Alcina suddenly interrupted. She held Sabrina's face then made a firm look. Those eyes again with no fear.

"What happened?" She asked. But her question felt like a command that even Sabrina couldn't disobey.

Is this really my mistress?

"...You were about to go to your father's mansion to give him his gift beforehand but then suddenly, news broke out from my ears that before you could pass the hallways, you slipped and fell off the stairs."

That explains why I can barely move this body.. it must be from the broken bones I had inflicted from the fall. Good thing I haven't gotten the vegetate state.

Alcina slowly looked at her lower body parts that was now covered by the white blanket. Then just as Sabrina continued to explain, she continued to listen, hearing an another interesting news.

"...Actually, Mistress... you were supposed to be dead."

Shocked, Alcina's jaw dropped.

"What? Wait, wait... what do you mean?"

"Mistress, you went to your father's office that day. It was your father's birthday and you were so happy to give the gift to your father. You were so excited that you wouldn't even wait for me to come with you. But by the time I was done with my work and was planning to go with you, suddenly, I heard the news that you fell from the stairs and hit your head on the last step. The gift was already delivered but you were unconscious that day when the butler delivered you to me. It was an awful delivery. You were dead on arrival, m-miss..."

"...So, I really died? Then, how am I alive now!"

"...That's a troublesome question, miss. Even the doctor can't answer that. I don't even know if this is right for a child like you to know about death now, ha ha...I must be out of my mind."

"No, no...It's okay...I am fine."

It was the last word that took Sabrina to finally let out of her worries on her heart. The heart that was filled with tears.

"P-pardon me mistress...But I--!"

"Yeah, I can lend you my shoulder..."

Sabrina tightly hugged Alcina in a gentle embrace. Soon the two reconciled with new memories awaiting to pass.

***

After the whole situation that had happened, Alcina was now contemplating in front of a mirror. Sitting on a chair while her bandaged legs hanged on the ground.

She looked at her reflection as she once saw a young woman with dark brown hair and brown chocolate eyes shifted to a child with white hair and purple galactic eyes.

The Alcina now was still young. Probably around 8 years now. And, according to game, 10 years later, she'll die.

She sighed helplessly by the thought.

She already died and now 10 years later she will again?

"Yeah, right..." She suddenly laughed. Like a crazy person, she wanted to mock death.

I died. I lived. And will die again?

Ha. Let's see about that.

Finally, after sighing a whole lot of stress from her shoulders, she could breath. A grin on her face decided that she wouldn't give up that easily now, will she?
