Chapter 2 - A Year Later

A year later...

The sun was bright and the wind was nothing more than a smooth breeze. I would have loved to enjoy the beautiful early morning but I was in too much of a hurry. “OH NO!!! IM SOOOO LATE!!� I urged my feet to run faster, “MAN! IM GOING TO LET MRS. OWENS AND MRS. CARROL DOWN!!� I raced on to the campus of my current college. It had rained the night before and the ground was slick. I made my way as fast as I could around to the back of the school toward J-hall before I slipped and fell. I yelped as I hit the ground, and just about started to cry. I sat up and felt my now burning forehead where my face had come in contact with the concrete. “This is SO NOT MY DAY!� I screamed at the top of my lungs. “Now, now. With such a beautiful voice, as yours, you wouldn’t want to lose it by screaming. Especially today, with the solos and all.� I looked up to see a hand extended toward me. I looked up the arm to see the face of a handsome young man with red hair and emerald green eyes. I was swept up into a load of flashes in my mind. I blinked a few times, then asked, “Who are you?� I felt my eye brows furrow together, to show my deep thought over this young man.
“Just call me Kurama.� I nodded. His hand was still extended and I reached forward for it. The moment I touched it I screamed, letting go moments later, falling to the ground grasping my head. “MAKE IT GO AWAY!� I screamed. My thoughts flurried, showing my blurry images, of a unfamiliar past and the world around me spun. There was a white flash and then pitch black.

I woke to find my self in a hospital. I looked around and saw my friend Korinn watching me worriedly. I sat up slowly and she jumped at the sound of my voice, “What happened?� She walked over to me, forcing me to lay back down. “You fell...and got a concision.� I saw her puzzled look. “I’m ok, right?� She nodded still not speaking everything that was on her mind. “No more games Korinn, what’s wrong?� She was quiet a moment more, then began to talk rapidly letting out all of her thoughts. “Well you see Kit, you were passed out when the ambulance got to you, and the 9-1-1 call was made from your phone, but by a male who never gave a name. And your head was nearly cracked open and you should have been inches from death, yet it was like you have just fallen...� She looked down. “I’m just glad your ok...� I looked out the window. The room was silent for a long while. “Take me back to school...I want to preform my solo...� Korinn smiled her normally happy smile. “That’s the Kit I know! Let’s get you back to school to preform!� It took a while before I was ready to go, I had to change into the fresh clothes Korinn had brought me from the dormitory and they made me take a ride in a wheel chair down to Korinn’s car. Once we where headed back to the campus I pulled out my CDs from my backpack, and popped in some soft classical music. I could tell Korinn wanted to rip the CD from her car and toss it out the window, but she knew I was nervous about performing and that I was also in deep thought like her. Who had call 9-1-1, and was the guy who tried to help me up a figment of my imagination. The car rolled on and my mind continued to wander.
