Chapter 06. A Necklace

She guessed that she was currently in the Centauri C region because before entering Earth's orbit, she had to pass through the Centauri C region first. Additionally, in her lifetime, she had only visited the Centauri C region once when she was very young, a long time ago. Therefore, she did not know the condition of the inhabitants in the Centauri C region.

"Meanwhile, I want to find my necklace. Let me the way; I want to go through," she said again.

Confused, the security office frowned. He did not understand the girl's words at all.

"I am STARLA. Are you deaf, or are you pretending not to know me?"

"You are a patient in this hospital. It's still very early, Miss. You shouldn't wander around the hospital, especially in a situation like this. It's very dangerous for you," the man said as if ignoring the girl's words.

"I will call some nurses to escort you back to your room," he added, looking around as if searching for someone.

The girl pouted. Since she woke up, everyone around her had been acting strange, even acting as if they did not care about her words.

"Sir, I want to get my necklace. Let me pass, and after I find it, I will go back to my room. Just a moment."

At the same time, the sound of footsteps could be heard, possibly from several people. And a few seconds later, several nurses appeared in front of the elevator door, carrying someone on a stretcher. Strangely, Violla's heart was beating faster, and the signal from her necklace was getting stronger.

"Please use the elevator next to it, Miss. They want to use this elevator," the security officer said, allowing Violla to leave the room.

"But..." Violla's words were cut off when the nurses entered the elevator without warning. This made her step back a few steps until she reached the elevator wall.

The security officer sighed. He just wanted to help the nurses be comfortable in doing their job.

At the same time, a faint blue light shone on the girl's chest on the stretcher. It was a necklace emitting a very faint blue light, making its existence difficult to see.

Degh...

Violla's heart almost stopped when she saw the girl's face.

"That..."

Instantly, her body stiffened and froze.

'How could this happen? That... that's me,' Violla's face turned pale, then she saw her own body and her reflection in the mirror.

'What is this? How could this happen? No... no... this must be just my imagination. She... she just looks like me. Yes, I'm sure of it. But... this face...' the girl argued with herself while holding her face in confusion.

"She is a victim of a meteor crash that happened a few hours ago, Miss. So, we hope you can understand and not wander around, especially without anyone accompanying you," the security officer said when he noticed the change in Violla's expression. He thought that maybe the girl was feeling scared.

Violla glanced at him briefly, "So... how is she?" she asked hesitantly.

"Unfortunately, she couldn't be saved, Miss. Not only that, but she didn't have anything to help us identify her identity," the security officer replied.

"What? So... so... She's already... that means she..."

"Do you know her, Miss?" A nurse who was standing next to her suddenly turned to her. Not without reason because the girl's response looked like someone who knew the victim.

Violla reflexively shook her head. It was impossible to say that the victim's body belonged to her.

"I don't know anything about her," Violla tried to normalize her feelings.

'My necklace...' Suddenly she remembered her necklace. Her eyes fixed on the victim's neck, which was none other than her own body.

'It's... there. My necklace... I have to get it,' she thought, struggling.

All the things that were happening to her right now made her experience an incredible shock, but one thing she had to prioritize before thinking about all of this was her necklace. She had to get her necklace back, no matter what.

Violla observed everyone in the elevator one by one. "Let me help you bring the victim to her room," she said after gathering her intention. She thought that maybe by doing that, she could take her necklace without anyone knowing. Because at this moment, taking her necklace openly was not a good thing for her to do. That action would only cause new problems for her.

Instantly, everyone turned to her with strange looks.

"I... I just want to help. Stop looking at me like that," Violla said while holding both her hands to her chest.

"Miss... where is your room?" a nurse asked.

Violla shook her head. She didn't know where her room was. She didn't pay attention to anything earlier before entering the elevator for the first time because her focus was only on her necklace.

"Miss... Don't lie."

"I'm telling the truth. I don't know where my room is," Violla replied.

Ding...!

The elevator opened, and the nurses immediately moved away from the elevator, ignoring a patient who was talking to them earlier.

"Hey, wait for me," Violla tried to catch up with them but had difficulty because her body was still stiff to move. Her legs felt heavy to lift as if carrying a heavy burden.

"You don't have to do something that is not your obligation, Miss. Let them do their job. You should go back to your room and rest," the security officer said.

"I don't know my room," Violla replied indifferently, her gaze following the departing nurses. She seemed eager to catch up with them.

"Okay then, follow me," said the security officer, gently pulling Violla's arm.

Suddenly, the girl winced as if in pain, although it was only a response to the discomfort that filled her body as she was forced to move suddenly.

"Ah, sorry. Did I hurt you?" The man released Violla's hand.

"It's ok, I'm fine."

"Okay, then I'll help you find your room. Follow me, miss."

"But..."

"In a few moments, the doctor will come to your room to check on your condition again. You have to go back before that, miss," the man interrupted Violla's words, he is wanting to take the girl to the information center to find out her room.

Violla had no reason to object anymore. Reluctantly, she followed the middle-aged man with a confused feeling.

"May I know your full name, miss? I have a bad memory. If I'm not mistaken, you said your name was Starla earlier, is that correct?" the man asked when they arrived in front of the information desk.

"Miss Violla?" Suddenly a voice was heard from behind, making the two figures turn around immediately. It turned out to be a doctor.

"Miss Violla?" The doctor repeated his sentence as if to confirm that the girl in front of him was indeed Violla.

"How can you be here? No... no... I mean, you've been in a coma for a year..."

"No, I mean, you should still be in your room..."

"No, oh sorry. I didn't mean to say that..."

The doctor rambled incoherently. His feelings were mixed when he saw the girl's presence.
