The Price of Life
Wide eyes opened to see a white ceiling above her. She laid there for a moment, looking at the peeled paint, the warm sunlight shinning into the small room and hitting her exposed skin. (Y/N) glanced down to see she was wearing a light cotton dress, neatly tailored to fit her. It was plain, but very fresh and new. She licked her chapped lips, water crossing her mind longingly. Her legs slid off the tall soft bed and touched the cold marble floor. Her breath hitched for a moment, not ready for feeling something so intense. (Y/N) mouth quickly turned into a frown once she observed the glass of water on the bedside table, ice cubes floating around in it slowly. The small motion of the ice cubes suggested someone had very, very recently had put them in the glass. Even though the movement was so small, it made her head spin, causing her to double over, planting her head on top of her knees, shaking.
"What have you done to me..." came (Y/N)'s breathy voice as tears leaked down her cheeks. A cold hand lifted her chin upwards to meet a silver haired young man with a circular disk around his eyes. His hand left her chin, and grasped both sides of her head gently, pushing his hands backwards through her silky hair, letting out a content sigh as he did so. "Your lack of memories is amazingly refreshing dear." He giggled, a wide smirk running along his face. (Y/N) didn't answer his comment, and just stared blankly at the wall behind him. After a moment, it was clear things were coming together in her mind and her (E/C) eyes started to dart back and forth, panicking.
"I-I... I really don't have any memories?!" She asked suddenly, startling him with an outburst of thoughts. "Who are you? And why did you do this to me!" (Y/N) stood quickly, making him back up, covering his head.
"S-Stop it! Calm down! Stop thinking that! I'm not a murderer or anything! I saved your life!"
"W-What..? "She questioned, her face turning pale. He perked up once her thoughts had been driven out of her head by his strange actions. He stood slowly, clapping his hands loudly and happily for no apparent reason.
"My name is Mao, your highness. Lelouch Lamperouge's pesky Geass had messed with your body, causing you pain when you left him, so, in order to erase it and save your life- other things had to be erased along with it."
He smirked once the words left his mouth and bowed mockingly to her.
"I am a prince on a white stallion. A prince must always rescue the princess" (Y/N)'s expression had become horrified and angry in the few moments he spoke. She gritted her teeth and punched him right in the face, causing him to fall backwards shocked.
"W-What?! I'm trying to save you!" He shrieked loudly as (Y/N) bolted out the door, suddenly feeling her aching muscles. It made her want to rest instantly, but she pressed on, stumbling down the dented and chipped wooden steps quickly. Thoughts flooded her brain as she tried to formulate a plan to get out out her prison, meanwhile hearing the blood curdling shrieks and moans emanating from Mao upstairs.
She busted out of the small house, gasping loudly as she saw the outside world finally. A vast amount of fields stretched out before her and the wind kicked up strongly, making her weak body stumbled sideways from the invisible impact. Already out of breath, (Y/N) gulped loud and started to continue to run. She already felt a stitch in her side but by then, she could care less.
She had nothing... nothing at all.
She didn't even know her name.
Or who Lelouch Lamperouge was.
But what she did know was... Mao.. or Lelouch would come and find her,
So she had to run
Authors Note: *Cough* I apologize if I portrayed Mao wrong, OR if you didn't like that Reader-chan has lost her memories. If this story does not follow exactly along with the original Code Geass storyline, please forgive it as in addition- please tell me if you like where the story is going or not in the comments below :)
(I should really rewatch Code Geass by now...)
Thank you for reading thus far and hopefully I'l be able to publish another chapter soon!
