Fallen Star

Past and Present

You woke up from your nightmare. Just waking up, nothing dramatic or alarming. Just waking up to see that it was all a horrible dream. But a dream of something probably more real than yourself. Madness.

    YOUR POV

             Flames were everywhere. Heat, screams, death...I was surrounded by chaos. Watching everybody die. But why? Why was I letting this happen? I was nothing. A shadow in the night, encouraging the flames to try and hit me. I was helpless... Nobody could see me. Hear me. I was tied down, against the guillotine that is myself. That's it... I'm dying... Slowly rotting in Hell. "You enjoy this, correct?" An all to familiar voice coos in the back of my head. "You want them to suffer...before they abuse you any more" this was the end. I couldn't let go of my family. Even if they were ashamed to have a miester in their bloodline I still couldn't let them die. Not at the hands of this... This... "Witch!"  Without noticing, I screamed the last words. I felt the nausea getting to my head as I collapsed, hacking and spotting up blood. Then an idea washed over me. I could do whatever. Everyone is dead anyways...NO...I cant...  I can't play that evil HellHound's game... But I could. I could make them now down to me... Me and my power!...I continued like this for some time before the tree fell. I looked up and a huge 30 foot pine came crashing down like a flaming arrow from the heavens. The impact nearly killed me. A small figure walked over to me as I lost grip of my consciousness and faded away. Able to say one last thing before the lights went out, I let the one responsible, the witch's name spill from my lips. "Medusa..."

        NARRATOR

              Waking up and feeling dizzy, hurt, and confused. A sensation you knew better than any 15 year old should. You try to sit up and fall back to your pillow, seeing the blinding white interior of the room you were in. It had to be some sort of hospital. Groaning quietly, you assess your wounds. 'Minor concussion... Few broken ribs...and a dislocated and fixed shoulder' you were silently taking note of injuries in your head. Not too surprising, considering your predicament. A girl with auburn hair tied into pigtales approaches your bed and sees that your eyes are open. She gasps and turns her head to say in a voice just below a shout " nurse Medusa! Professor Stein! She's awake!"

              A man with grey hair and a bolt through his head walks in and over to the auburn girl, followed by a woman that looked just like the one who destroyed your town. Golden eyes, dark blonde hair... Their features were so similar that you couldn't hold back a gasp. The auburn girl noticed and asks you " have you met the nurse before?" Finally being able to talk you reply "she looks like someone from my past..."

            A sudden bang and a few " YAHOOS" later, a boy with teal, spiked hair appears at the side of your bed. "You better start living in the present then 'cause If you don't you'll miss my awesome performance!!YAHOO!" A wide grin is now on his features and you can't help but give a small shy smile of your own.

           "Maka....CHOP!!" The auburn girl, Maka, had a dictionary-sized book in her hand, and the boy fell to the ground, a huge dent in the middle of his head. 'I definitely woke at an eventful moment..'   Your thoughts were already telling you not to get on that girl's bad side...
