**This chapter is from JJ's perspective**
[b]I woke up on some sort of cot.[/b] I was in a room with white walls. I sat up.
Delphi floated to me. "JJ!" he perked up, "You're awake!"
"JJ?" I asked, "Who's JJ."
"You," the Ghost said sternly.
"That's not my name," I replied, "My name is James."
"You introduced yourself as JJ when I resurrected you."
"I... did?"
"I remember it so clearly."
Delphi began to mutter to himself.
"Where am I?" I asked.
"The Tower Infirmary," Delphi said.
I continued to scan the room. Right across from me, there was a Warlock on another cot.
She had short, Void-purple wings, and strawberry blonde hair which looked more of a brown. Her apricot skin looked very soft.
But she was tossing and turning in her sleep. Something seemed very wrong about how she slept.
[i]I have to help her[/i], I thought. I stood up, and walked over to wake her.
Another Ghost flew up into my face, "JJ, don't bother her."
"Don't call me that," I said.
"You [i]prefered[/i] for us to call you that in the past. Now all of a sudden-"
Delphi whispered to the Ghost.
"Oh," that Ghost murmered, "I'm so sorry."
"Sorry for what?" I asked.
"Nothing. The name's Lunar."
"Why can't I wake her up, Lunar?"
"Um...."
Lunar fell silent. He couldn't think.
I knelt down next to the cot. I whispered in the Warlock's ear, "Calm down. It's all going to be okay." I stood back up again.
She opened her eyes. Her void-wings disappeared. Her hazel eyes had filled with excitement. She sat up, and turned towards me.
"James?" she asked hopefully. I nodded. Her voice sounded so familiar, I just didn't know who she was.
"James!" She cried happily. She got up and hugged me. I tears ran down her cheeks, "You're back! I missed you- even though I was asleep most of the time- but I missed you."
"Where was I?" I asked.
"Unconscious. I was very worried. Everyone was. But especially me."
She kissed me, "I'm glad you're alive. I love you. James, do you still love me?"
I froze. I didn't know what to say. If I said [i]No[/i], or [i]Who are you?[/i], I would break her heart. But if I didn't say anything, I would be clueless later on.
I yanked myself out of the Warlock's arms. I went to the corner and sat down. I had to think.
"James?" she asked with concern, "Are you... okay?"
I buried my face in my arms, "I don't know."
"Are you sure?"
"I don't know."
"Can you at least come up with a better answer than that?"
"I DON'T KNOW!!" I yelled. I turned to her, "I don't know what is going on. I don't know what happened. I don't even know who you are, and you're making me uncomfortable."
The Warlock's heart dropped. She was very disappointed. She plopped herself back on her cot and put her pillow on top of her head.
I realised there was a door when I heard someone knock.
"Sarah, is JJ awake?" another familiar voice called from the door.
"F**k off, Chase," Sarah yelled.
"You know I'm gonna come in anyway."
"GO AWAY!" She yelled. She had her palm facing the door, as if she was going to melee anyone who got in.
Chase pounded on the door. He tried to open it. But Sarah had it forced shut.
"Sarah, I'll break down this door if I have to!" Chase yelled.
"I don't want to talk right now," she snapped.
A fist went through the door. Sarah let go of the door.
A Titan with short, night-black hair and Arc-blue eyes walked in.
"JJ," he said, "How you doing?"
"Confused," I replied.
"What do you know?"
"My name, Delphi, a slight understanding of what's going on, two dates, but I don't know what they stand for..."
"You have amnesia," Chase said.
I heard Sarah weep.
"What's her problem?" I asked him.
"Who knows? But it could've ended worse," Chase said.
"Really?" I asked.
"You could've gotten electrocuted, thrown into the wall, strangled, burned to death, poisoned, shanked-"
"Getting shanked by a Warlock?" I laughed.
"Don't provoke her. She has this deck of cards that turn into knives," Chase warned.
"Okay."
Chase turned around. He found the cot empty.
"Now, I'm worried," I said, "Also, will my memories return? I hate being confused."
"Eventually," Chase smiled.
