It's dark.

All I feel is cold

What is this?

You suddenly hear a voice.

"Who's there?! Oh my goodness!" A man yelped.

What?

Who are you?!

Where are you?!?!

Hello? ANYONE!?!?!?

You get no answer. Only darkness.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You slowly come to, your head throbbing as you try to look around. Your eyes begin to adjust to the light. You found yourself lying on a couch in the middle of a room. On the walls were masks and posters, some of a weird trophy and a group a four called the Royal Blacksmiths. You also notice a gramophone across from the couch, against the wall.

Trying to sit up, you wince at the cut on your arm. It was bandaged, surprisingly, and you look to the door to see a man walking in with a tea set.

"I'm sorry, did I wake you?" He asked in a worried voice. He wore a brown jacket and vest, with a white shirt and red bow tie. His pants were also brown,

You stared at him, not knowing what to say, until you finally get the words out.
"Where am I?"

"My house. But I should be asking you what you're doing here! I'm just sleeping, minding my own business, when I heard a loud crash from outside, and when I went to see what all the ruckus was about, I found you in front of the house with that nasty cut on your arm!" He explained, seeming rather annoyed that you interrupted his beauty rest.

Looking back down at your forearms, you notice you're wearing two silver cuffs. They looked old, with scratches and dirt covering them.

"Now can you tell me what you were doing in front of my house in the middle of the night young missy?!" The man asked, sounding like a parent lecturing their child.

"I... I don't know..." you answered, looking at your clothes, that were covered in dirt, like your cuffs.

The mans' face softened, then he sat down next to you pouring a cup of tea.

"Would you like a cup?" He asked. You nodded, realizing how dehydrated you were. As he handed you a second cup, you gulped down the drink, almost burning you tongue.

"Thank you..." you started to say, then realized you didn't know what to call him.

"Lou." The man said, reading your thoughts,

"Lou." You repeated. " Thank you for helping me, and fixing up my arm."

"It was nothing really, you should see the things my son would do to himself! Climbing dressers, jumping off counters, one he attempted the Triple Tiger Sashay! He was always getting hurt!" He replied, chuckling at the memories.

"Triple Tiger Sashay?" You questioned.

Lou began to tell you about the nearly impossible move, his quartet, and his son that had gone off to study dance at the Marty Openheimer School of Performing Arts. He told you about how each year there is a talent show where the winner receives the Blade Cup!

As you continued to listen your eyes turned to the mirror above the desk. You saw your reflection, and were shocked when you didn't recognize it. A girl with (h/l) (h/c) hair,(e/c) eyes, and (s/c) skin?!

"Lou, who am I?" You asked, slightly frightened at the fact that you couldn't recognize your own face.

"I wish I knew dear, but this is the first time I've seen you before. Can you remember anything?" He looked at you with a worried expression on his face.

You thought hard.
Do I have a dad? Or a mom? Do I have a family???

It was no use as you only seemed to make your headache come back. You shook your head, and Lou seemed to think to himself before speaking again.

"Come, I'll show you the washroom, and you can go clean yourself up. I'll try and find some clothes small enough for you." He said, leading you to the washroom to clean yourself.

~~~~~~~~T.S.~~~~~~~~

After you got out of the shower, you open the door slightly to grab the towel and clothes Lou left for you by the door. As you got everything on, you grabbed your cuffs to clean them up when you saw that both cuffs had a blue jewel in the middle and there was writing on the inside.

One said, "For my sweet little (y/n)"
The other said, "-Grandpa K."

Grandpa K? You thought to yourself.
Is (y/n) my name? Where am I from?

You push your thoughts away as you put the cuffs on and walked out of the washroom.

You wandered a bit before finding Lou folding up your now washed clothes by the corner of a bed in a room. The room looked a little dusty, like it hadn't been used in a while. He noticed you and motioned for you to sit on the bed while he took a seat by the chair next to it.

"I'm sorry about the clothes. They were my sons and they were the smallest things he had."

"It's alright." You answer smiling, feeling better after having the chance to clean yourself up. "Was this his room?"

"Yes, I'm sure he wouldn't mind. It's not like he comes to visit me anyway." He mumbled the last part to himself .

Seeing how sad he looked, you guessed he missed his son, and felt a little upset at the fact that someone would leave this kind man for such a long time. You gave Lou a hug before sitting down on the bed.

"Stay as long as you want, uh... guess you don't remember your name either, do you?"

You took off the cuff that had, what you assumed was your name, on it and showed Lou.

"(Y/n)."

He smiled before continuing.

"Stay as long as you want (y/n), I won't mind. It'd be nice to have to help around the house."

You thanked Lou once more. But before he left you to sleep, you asked him, "Lou?"

"Yes (y/n)?"

"Could you teach me more about dancing? It sounds pretty cool!"

Lou brightened at your question. "Of course! I'll teach you everything I know! But for now you should rest. You've had a confusing day, and some sleep will do you good!"

With that, he left. You got under the covers and stared up at the ceiling.

A million questions rushed through your head.

Who am I?

Is grandpa K worried?

Where is he right now? Is he looking for me?

Slowly the questions were pushed to the back of your mind, as you drifted off to sleep.
