We kept walking non-stop for what felt like ages, with me asking for the millionth time where we were going and Eric ignoring me.

Are we there yet? I asked again earning myself a glare from Eric

"We get there when we get there so please just stop asking already and follow quietly for once" Eric said visibly frustrated with my constant prodding.

We walked for a while more in eery silence none of us saying anything to the other.

When I opened my mouth to say something again Eric just glared at me with a grim expression on his face before I could even get the words out...

I humphed and walked ahead while muttering to myself how he wouldn't even let me talk.

I walked faster for a while before realizing I don't even know where am going...

I stopped abruptly causing Eric to crash into me, knocking me off my feet...

"Oohhh,"I shriekedd closing my eyes and awaiting my body to make an impact with the ground but it never did.

It's like I was hanging in the air or rather someone was holding me, saving my poor butt from colliding with the ground...

I opened my eyes slowly and saw Eric staring at me, his face was so close, our lips were just inches apart, and his hands were on my back, while I was bent over backward...

We were in that same position for a while, before Eric brought me to a standing position still very close I could feel his heart beating a little bit loud.

I took a step backward, awkwardly staring at my feet.

Eric also stood static for a while, before he cleared his throat and started to walk ahead faster this time...

Thankfully, we only walked for a few more minutes, and then we came to a place filled with trees of different fruits. It was really beautiful...

Some of the trees were huge, others were just average.

There were apple trees, guava, mangoes, oranges, and even tangerine and grapes, both red and green grapes...

I stared at them in awe for a while before saying this is beautiful, I then looked at Eric before asking him how long he's been here, for him to have found this place but as usual, he was silent.

I just shook my head making a mental note to always ignore him next time...

Well if that would work seeing as prodding is one of my special talents.

Eric started to pluck the apples and putting them in a bag that seemed to have magically appeared, as I didn't see him holding it while we were coming...

I proceeded to pluck some green grapes while ignoring the red ones. I don't know how but I remembered being allergic to red grapes.

I went and put them in the bag Eric was holding after popping some of the grapes in my mouth.

"Why aren't you picking the red grapes?"

"Am allergic to them" I said but I can pick them if you want I said and proceeded to pick them...

We picked up so many fruits that could last a few days in silence before we decided to head back to the cave.

Walking back seems a bit closer than when we were going because we arrived at the cave's entrance before I even knew it...

Not wanting to go inside just yet, I decided to go look at the lilies and white roses I had seen yesterday by the waterfall.

I left without saying a word to Eric not that he would want me to anyway...

I reached the flowers and crouched a little to inhale its beautiful scent.

The smell was very nice and overwhelming.

I picked up one lily and put it in my grisly tangled hair, ignoring how it might look.

After putting the flowers in my head, I proceeded to sit by the waterfall.

While sitting down there, I tried to remember anything at all from my past, but it seems I'm having selective memory loss.

It's like I choose to forget not that it was an accident or an illness. Maybe the memories were too painful to recall.

Just the thought of it made me shiver involuntarily...

I sat there picking up pebbles and throwing them into the water, that seemed to be the only fun thing to do around here since I couldn't talk to Eric or the animals since I have no pet or any imaginary friend...

I mean are imaginary friends even real?

I don't think I've had an imaginary friend before, but am beginning to consider having one now since I don't have any idea how long am going to be here...

I stood up to go back to the cave, l was walking slowly, counting my steps out of pure boredom, then I saw Eric returning to the cave, carrying a different bag from the one that we used for picking up fruits.

I quickened my pace out of curiosity...

I reached inside the cave just when he set down the bag...

He must have heard my footsteps because he turned to look at me before he pointed at the bag he just brought and said

"There's a sleeping bag, and a few hooded sweaters in there."

I felt like jumping him right now. Even though I wanted to ask where he got them from, I didn't want him to change his mind about giving them to me.

So I just thanked him and went to check the bag...

I found the sleeping bag a few sweatshirts and some boxers. there were even a few soaps and shampoos.

Ignoring the feeling of being inquisitive right about now, I just settled with the fact that I could at least wash my hair and my dirty clothes...

I looked to where Eric was standing a little while ago but he was no longer there and I just wondered where he keeps disappearing to.

    After Eric disappeared, I went to the spot where I took my bath and tried to wash the tangled mess on my head, but that merely turned out to be a complete disaster..."I don't think I've ever done this myself before," I said out loud..."I mean if I had, even if my memory was lost my body should at least be able to do what it does before right?" I asked no one in particular as I continued to struggle with my poor hair...I think there's a saying that goes...that body has memories or am I only mixing things up as I've lost part of my memories I thought to myself helplessly, and I continued to battle with my hair.I was still battling with my hair when I heard footsteps, I knew it was Eric even though I didn't look up.After a few struggles and unsatisfied messy hair later, I decided I had done enough for today.

    We sat silently, watching the blaze of the fire as it grows up to meet the stick on top of it, Eric had started the fire a while ago with the woods we had picked up...Eric watched the fire silently as it began to die down, before getting up to bring something he had kept wrapped up in a foil paper.I watched with undivided interest as Eric unwraps the thing from inside the foil and it appears to be some leftover meat he had kept aside for dinner. Eric then fixed the meat over the fire for warming. He must have gone hunting before I got here, I thought to myself. I looked at the meat, and It looked like some kind of big bird or something it had been cut already so I couldn't fully tell what kind of animal it was..."How long have you been here for Eric?" I asked breaking the ice like silence.Eric was silent for a while, and I was beginning to think he wasn't going to answer, but then he did."I've not been here long enough to have gone crazy or long enough to want to go back home."

I thought involuntarily as I checked the clothes...The sweat shirt was a little too big and I had to fold it's arms a little. But the boxers on the other hand was not big at all because it hugged my curves perfectly, almost like a second skin but the sweat shirt was long enough to cover it...I then proceeded to put on my snickers, before going back into the main cave, Eric was not there just as I hadn't expected him to be...I decided to sit down and try to remember my past...

I grunted and took fast strides but before I would catch up to her, she blended into the crowd.I stopped and looked around but she was nowhere to be found and if not for the fact that I locked eyes with her, then I would have thought that my head made her up, because I was thinking of ways to find her.However, no matter how much I looked around the crowd, I still couldn't find her. At this point, my blood was boiling over. I can't believe she had the damn guts to attend his funeral after what she did."Hey what's going on," Karl asked me coming over to where I was standing.
