You groan, your head aching as consciousness sloughs through your body. As you crack open your eyes, you realize that you're lying on an uncomfortably hard bed in a dark and dingy room. The small window next to you looks out to a brick wall, and the room consists only of the bed and a low table. A flickering candle next to a heavy metal door provides the only source of light.
Where…are you? You screw your eyes shut as a wave of nausea overtakes you, and to your horror you realize that you can't recall anything. Who you are, where you come from, your family…all these crucial facts are lost to you. You get up from the bed, vision swinging and head pounding. You feel something cold around your ankle, and you look down. Your eyes widen - you're chained.
Then, the door opens. You see a girl with long black hair, her green eyes cold as she regards you. She's thin - her clothes are oversized on her slender frame, and she's shorter than you. Despite that, she carries herself with wary desperation, reminding you of a haggard, hungry beast.
"So you're awake," she says, and steps inside, closing the door behind her. She leans against it and regards you for a few moments before speaking. "As you may have guessed, you are my prisoner."
"Prisoner?" you say as your mind desperately searches for clues as to who the hell this girl is. "Have we…"
She shakes her head, and continues speaking with cool dispassion. "No. We have never met before."
"Then why…? I can't remember anything," you say. "Not even my name."
Her eyes widen in brief surprise. "You don't?"
"No. Who are you?"
"I'm nobody of consequence. My name is unimportant. Normally we'd never meet. As for why you're here…" a smile flickers through her face. It seems almost sad, but you push the thought away. You can't think of her kindly. She's your captor.
"Well," she says, "I'll leave that for you to find out."
With that, she leaves you
