John was a good strong home town name. Pretty generic too. It made Aurora wonder. But she wasn't really sure why it was a curiosity to her, anymore than the books and drawings on the table.
"Just moved in I take it?"
Aurora laughed. "Yes and no. I don't expect I'll be here too long, or at least I hope not. Once I figure out why I'm in Moscow and where Home actually is, I'll be on my way I'm sure."
John was becoming more and more heroic each minute. It was all humor, he was being handyman now. Fixing her chairs and the light. Aurora laughed. "Careful they don't kill you here. Nothing seems to be well built, but it's a roof over my head. It'll do for now."
And then he asked about the snake drawing on the table. Aurora stopped what she was doing and turned to look at him. "I have no idea hat it means, or why I have it. Or the books on the bed. Or why there are creatures of horrible nature in those books. Clearly I did before the plane crash. In one of those books, there is a creature a Quetz.. something or other. In the margins, I wrote a note. 'Torching a swarm works best' and then it goes into specifics on what kind of fire and elements should be used."
Aurora went over to the pile of books rifled through the papers and pulled out the paper she'd written the exact same phrases down on. "I clearly wrote it."
Aurora dropped the book and paper on the table and went back to working on dinner. Frying steaks was not something she intended to leave alone.
"If you know anything. Anything about this stuff I'd love to hear about it. Maybe it'll jog my memory. So I can get home, and find what I'm missing."
She had the distinct feeling since she woke up that she was missing something and something very important to her. She had to find it. It drove her every waking hour.
