I'm standing at the top of those God damned stairs again and looking down at the body at the bottom. My body; his body. I feel his murderous urges within me as I walk down the stairs.
"This is who you are. You know it, I know it. You just don't remember."
The voices again. I shook my head to get rid of them and when I opened my eyes, I was in a large yard with a massive fountain in the middle. I'd been here before. I was far away from my home. There were people standing in a circle a distance away.
"Who did it?", one of them whispered to another.
"It was the boy that man brought here."
"Oh my God!"
I pushed through the crowd till I found myself staring at someone I had forgotten, until just now. I realized how I knew Saba, but this brought up more questions than answers. How could I know Saba if she's dead?
"I told you." The voice couldn't mask its glee.
Didn't see that one coming!
