'These shallow water never met, what I needed. I am letting go, a deeper dive. External silence of the sea, I am breathing. Alive.'
Faded- Alan Walker.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I feel so hungry. I could not see any food or find any anywhere.
See what I did that with my thoughts?
I chuckled but my face turned serious immediately as I remembered how I couldn't remember anything but my name.
I yelled as I walked, hoping someone would hear.
I heard a yelp. Is that a dog?
I thought nothing was alive!I smiled gratefully at the dog looking up to me. It looked thin and weak.
I can't lose another living thing!
I carried it, deciding to help this poor dog.Wait. What am I thinking. I can't help a dog! I have no food myself.
The dog barked, moving uncomfortably from the collar it was wearing- there is a collar?
I peeked at it.
Walker.
Walker?
Isn't that my surname?
I decided to not care about it, pushing that weird thought away. I already got so much to think about.
Is this my dog? I wondered.I must have liked dogs. Maybe not.
Hours go by as I felt even weaker and hungrier.
Give me water and food please!
I looked into my bag.
Nothing.
Who brings a bag without food in it?
Oh right, that's me.
....
"What do I do now?" I cursed myself as I laid on the floor with the dog.
How could I be this unlucky?
I noticed the dog not moving at all.
I felt its heart.
Nothing.
I see his eyes.
Closed.
I looked at it.
It looks dead.My only friend just died in front of my eyes!
Wails and cries could be heard I quickly realized it was mine.
It will be my turn soon if I continue with no water and no food.
I heard footsteps coming near me.
My vision was taken by darkness, and took over my sight.Did I just fall asleep at the most crucial moment?
Yes I did.
The light hits my face as I opened my eyes.
I sat up, seeing the dog gone.
I suddenly remembered the footsteps I heard. I hit my head.What am I doing? I forgotten a whole ton of memories and here I am,
Sleeping.
This is not a dream and it is really real.
Some guy must have took away the dead dog. Must be his. Or her.
I watched the beautiful sunrise, remembering the world I used to be in.Flashback...
"Alan Walker! Come! Wake up!" The familiar screeching voice of my mother. I woke up immediately as she shook me. She held my hand, pulling me to the rooftop. Wow, such good views. I rubbed my sleepy eyes, not believing the view I seeing.
"Isn't it beautiful?" She asked.
I nodded as a reply, as I couldn't say any words.
"Well, Alan Walker. I need to tell you something..."
I looked up to her sad eyes. Was she disappointed for my results in the exams? She always said my full name if she was angry or sad.
"What, mum?" I asked curiously.
"You are the key to everything."
"What?"
Before she could even reply, she started screaming. I glanced at what she was pointing to.
It was behind me.
Fire, blazing everywhere. Millions must have been already burned. My mother looked at me for the last time and screamed," Alan! Run! Now!"
She pushed me down the stairs, as I grabbed everything I needed.
Clothes, blankets, anything.
Tears ran down my cheeks without me noticing so. The fire peeled my skin off as it touches me.
I ran out of the house, which was already half burned. I could not resist but to look back.
I saw my mother staring at me with a smile. To my horror, I paused suddenly. "No!"I cried even harder as I saw her charred with burns.
She took her eyes of me and started running furiously.
She was wearing the same jacket as me. That same sign. There was something on her bag though.
I looked closer.
Her name that she never told me was on it.
Calilsta Jane.
It sounds so beautiful and pretty, just like her. Jane? Isn't the name suppose to be Walker?
After taking one glance at me, she jumped. She jumped, to a building then another, and another.
And disappeared.
She fell down?
The intense heat of the fire could be felt. But I didn't move.
The anger slowly creeped up. I bit my lips trying to stop it, with my clenched fists shaking angrily.
I faced the fire, as I used my hands to control water. What was I doing? I didn't know myself, I guess.
Using the ocean and rivers, anything that was water, came rushing behind me.
As I splashed the water to the spreading fire, causing it to have a sizzling sound. I looked up.
The fire was gone.
The water was all around the floor.I stared at my hands. Cheers of strangers surrounded me. It frightened me. What I am frightened me.
That was the time when I discovered this long hidden power.
That I have been born with.End of flashback..
Feeling hungry, I shrugged. I was too hungry to think about memories now.
That memory probably wasn't real anyway.Opening my bag to rummage for food, totally forgetting there wasn't, I found snacks that weren't previously there at the first place.
What?
And I seeing things or it is real?
I touched it. It is real.
I slapped myself. Pain.
This is real!
I grinned with happiness, whooping for joy. I opened one of the snacks.I quickly gobbled it up with quick speed and to my surprise, I did not choke.
For once, I had something in my stomach. I shouldn't waste the others.
I packed the rest neatly in my bag.
Darkness surrounded me. I must have stayed here too long.
Silently thinking about it, I stood up.
Placing the bag on my shoulders, I went into deserted home to stay for a while. It was the same place that I woke up in, because it was simply the only cleanest one.
I placed the computer on my laps, as the sign light up again.
The light from the computer brightened the room.
What is this?
I pressed the buttons in frustration.
I am tired of everything not working.
Heavy breathing came out of no where. I looked around immediately, frightened.
I realized that it was a breathing sound from the computer.
"Alan Walker! If you are- are playing this. I know you forgotten. You- you are right now finding -finding your old home. You are in-in danger-danger.. I am sorry-sorry! I can't-" It stopped.
The voice was so familiar. I frowned.
Am I in danger?
Finding my old home?
I was tired of these questions buzzing around my head. It was torturous.
The thirst was killing me.I recalled about the water that I summoned before. I wonder if that is fake. Should I try?
I was so desperate for water."Fresh water please," I ordered out loud.
Some water appeared, in a bloody looking bottle clanging on the floor.
But who the hell cares?
Man, shit this is some good power. Sick!
There is water!
I drank it.
But not all.
Cleaning it with my pants, I placed it in my bag too.Finding my old home...
i thought to myself.
Isn't that the photo in my pocket? It must be.
Is that the house I been looking for?
I took it out, straightening the crumbled piece.
It must be the house.
I saw words.
I placed it on the computer screen to see it clearly.
The same sign...with this words beside it,"Alan Walker..is the only name you can give him. He is born to be one of the walkers."
So this was to my mother?
I am a Walker?
Wait..everything suddenly makes sense...AUTHOR NOTE:
I hope you like the story so far...
Damn... This is my favourite story so far.
In case you didn't know, I got inspired by Alan Walker song, Faded.
I been honestly thinking about writing this, so I finally chosen to.
I mean like, this is my (kind of) theory for Alan Walker three songs.
Faded.
Sing me to sleep.
Alone.
So I decided to link them together, using Faded as Season 1, Sing Me To Sleep as season 2, and yeah, Alone is season 3.
Alone is probably linking all the stories I did so far, but while doing this, I am gonna do more of other stories.
Sooo.....yeah!
Anyways, if you think you know what am I talking about so far, Pls comment and tell me so!
It will be fun to know.
Tho I won't tell you if is true.
It will be spoilers for the others.
And for you too.
But plssssssssssss comment. I will reply if I can.
Thanks for the support you been giving me so far!
Thanks guys!;)-
