The Lost Truth - Chapter 4: The Beginning of a Journey

The next morning Anna was wide awake! She couldn't sleep a wink last night after what she was told. How was it possible? Maybe she had known about it before her amnesia? No, it couldn't be, because then she would have started searching since two years ago. Or did she already start but lost her memories along the way? There were too many questions that was waiting to be answered but Anna couldn't bring the courage to face her parents she just couldn't do it, not yet anyway.

For the first, time in a long time, Anna didn't dream. Of course who would be able to sleep after hearing that? You've been adopted since birth and two years ago you lose your memory and you don't even know if you had any knowledge, what so ever, about the whole situation. Anna was feeling a little numb in the head from the thinking but decided that despite these factors she will still be able to put some of the puzzles together.

After her regular load of laundry and the cleaning up of the house she noticed the abnormal silence in the house. She went into the living room and saw how everyone was in the room sitting silently on the sofa. Her mum was in tears, almost, and it looked like she didn't get enough sleep either. Her dad was silently looking at the ground not saying a word. His expressionless face and posture could not be mistaken for anything but a deep and sorrowful sadness. Looking at her parents face, Anna was about to cry until she saw Harley and Tyler looking at her with longing eyes.
"You're leaving us?" Said Tyler, it was surprising because Tyler didn't seem the type to be so attached to Anna. Conner, who was sitting beside him, looked up at Anna with a gentle and caring smile. He was the only one who was so calm and relaxed of the whole situation; or was that just her imagination?
"Take care of yourself little sis and make sure to write to us when you can." He said with an unsteady voice. Oh gosh, if Conner was about to fall apart then Anna had no choice but to cry, she thought to herself. She didn't hold back, she wailed so loud that the rest of the family joined in. Harley, who was crying but confused and said after a moment,
"Why do you have to go sis?" He didn't have any idea and the rest of the family didn't mention anything. Just that she needed to go on a little adventure on her own.
"Don't worry I'll be back soon Har," Anna said and then turned to the rest of her family and said, "I will never forget any of you, you're all so dear to me and hold a special place in my heart." She turned away from her family.

She ran upstairs to pack up her things to take with her. It's finally here, the journey to search for her real parents and her identity. She packed the essentials and then on her dressing table was the creased paper Harley helped put together. It was the only lead she had and she needed it.

After one last check around her room, and a numerous amount of memorable pictures (on her phone) and objects in her suite case. She was ready to set off to find the lost truth.
