Chapter Text
The girl then woke up to warmth, and it felt like she was sleeping on a pile of clouds. She almost didn't want to get up. And she almost didn't, if she didn't hear voices around her… “...She was just out there! All alone! Who leaves a kid alone like that?!” Came a worried female voice “I'm not sure. And how is it that there isn't any history on her. I mean that glow had something to do with it.” Came a concerned male voice. “I suppose we can ask her a few questions when she wakes up.” He said.
She rubbed at her eyes, her vision was blurry. Was her vision supposed to be this blurry? She didn't know…in fact. She didn't remember anything. “Oh good! You're awake…” Came the female voice. She could see someone walking towards her, but due to her blurry vision, she found it a little hard to see who. Maybe they could help her? “Sweetie? Are you OK?” the female voice asked gently. Mirabel nodded, she may not be able to see, but she liked this person
“Oh! Here. I think these are yours.” She said, placing something onto her face, as her vision finally straightened out. She could finally see who was talking to her. A friendly looking woman with pointy dark hair, wearing a robe. “There we go…” She said with a smile. “Thank you miss…” The small girl started “Franny. Just call me Franny.” The woman smiled at her. The girl nods “Thank you Miss Franny.” She said
Franny smiled back at her. What a sweet kid! “Well aren't you a sweetheart?” She said. “Can you tell me your name?” She asked. The girl's smile began to fall…what was her name “My name?” She started. “It's…Mira…” she drew a blank. She remembered “Mira” for some reason, but nothing else. “Mira?” Franny asked. “A-At least. I think it's Mira…Why do I feel like I'm missing something?” Mira asked “Am I Broken?” She asked, tears shining in her eyes
This broke Franny's heart as she gently held Mira “No no…You're not broken.” She said in a soft voice, “Mira is a very pretty name.” She comforted. “Thank you Miss Franny…” Mira said. The two of them heard footsteps as the blonde man stepped inside. “Neil…she's awake.” Franny said gently, as Mira buried her head shyly. He kneeled down to Mira's level and gave her a soft smile as well “Hello, my name is Cornelius. But you can call me Neil.” He said to her “It's very nice to meet you.”.
Mira gave a gentle nod from her hiding spot “Can you tell me what happened to you?” He asked. Mira looked down. How is it that she could remember her name, but she couldn't remember anything else? “I…I don't really know.” She admitted “Why can't I remember?” she asked. Franny brushed some of her hair back. “I'm sure that'll you'll remember something…” she said “But in the meantime, we can't just put you out in the cold.”
Franny gave Neil a knowing look. He remembered all too well, being left abandoned and cold until someone came for her. “I suppose that you can stay here until the morning.” He said, a gentle hand on Mira's shoulder. Mira gave him a smile back. Sure she couldn't remember anything, but at least these people were nice to her. The warmth of Franny’ arms around her actually began to put her back to sleep. The dark haired woman saw this and she began to hum to her, lulling her back to sleep.
Neil got back up. “I suppose then, that guest room is going to get some use after all.”
