I stared at the letters tattooed into my right forearm. I had no memory how I had got it or why I was in a hospital gown or why I was floating at the edge of a muddy, river bank. I had absolutely no memory of who I was…
I tried to stand but felt a throbbing pain at my right side, I felt a red tacky liquid seep out from an unfamiliar bandage wrapped around my abdominal. My eyes grew awry at the sight. Within the silence, I could hear indistint monstrous voices. Still shell-shocked by my unknown experience, I wobbled grudgingly towards the dark inenubilable forest. Rays of sunlight seeped through the thick leaves, sounds of chirping, hissing, bleating of various species of animals could be heard from every corner. With every inch of a wobble, the pain at my right side became more excruciating and the monstrous voices this time felt so near that it made my heart pulsate. The only thing on my mind at the moment was to get to safety and attend to my injuries.
I stared at the letters inscribed into my right forearm again, something about the letters seemed like an encrypted code. My fingers slowly grazed across it and a hologram of a creature so unfamiliar hovered above it.
A gasp escaped from my lips as I stared at it.
"Agent Ruby! We are so glad to finally reach you. Did you find it?" It spoke.
Blinking several times, I stared at it. Millions of thoughts ran through my mind. Did it just call me an agent? And what was the 'it' it was referring to? And how was it talking?.
"I... uh... I am sorry but I have no idea what you are talking about!".
It glommed at me like lightning had struck my cerebrum, erasing all my memories.
"This is really bad news!" It shook its head, disappointed "What are we going to make of this, right now? Where are you now?".
I looked around me, I couldn't hear the voices anymore. I let out a sigh of relief, they were finally gone.
"I don't know but I am in some kind of forest somewhere!" I replied.
"Okay, we will track you using the last coordinates you sent to us!".
"What coordinates, I don't...."
Suddenly, the sound of a gunshot squeezed through the air, it aimed for my head. I hit the ground bewildered and my body grew cold as I stared at the cold blue eyes of death.
