January 6,1931,
*13 years later*
I wake up and I get out of bed. I look out the window and see my bus picking up my friends. Damn! I missed the bus again! I run into my closet to get a T-shirt. I then run to my drawer and grab a pair of pants. I open the window and say, "Wait!!!" I think the bus heard me because it haddn't moved yet. I run down the gray stairs, slipping on two or three stairs along the way. I grab my shoes and run out the door. I step onto the bus.
"Wake up earlier, chose a seat up front." The bus driver says. I take my white sneakers and put my right shoe on first, then my left. Someone sits down next to me and says hi. When I look up I see my friend Toni. She has Black hair with Black eyes.
"Hey, I missed the bus again." I say sighing. I unzip my bag and pull out a hair brush and start brushing my hair. "Yea... you should set your alarm clock an hour earlier." Shes says staring blankly at me.

I get back home from school after seven hours of my life wasted. I unlock the door, just to find my back door broken open. I drop my bag as I hear a sound upstairs.
"Hurry up and find her!" A deep voice yells. I run and hide behind the kitchen counter. I hear footsteps coming down the stairs.
"Her backpack is here, she must of came back a minute ago. Find her!" He yells again." I will go check the kitchen, you go downstairs." I hear footsteps coming closer. I reach my hand behind the counter, and I feel a wooden handle. I grab it and it has a cool metal tip. I knife! Yes! I see a dark shadow coming upon the kitchen. When I see his feet I jump up and swung my sword at his body. The next think I notice is, that he is laying cold on my kitchen floor. There is a pile of dark blood on the floor.
*Tap Tap Tap* I look around the corner, and I see feet coming up the stairs.
"Hello? Tyler!" I hear him yell the last word and he starts running toward the dead body. Before he sees me I hop over behind our island.
"Hello? I can see your foot." He says. I move my foot inward.
"It's okay," He says, but I stay put. " I won't hurt you. I just want to know who you are."
"Sheridan Hallowand." I say sternly gripping my knife harder. "What do you want."
"Don't you remember me?" He asked. "Think, think back to the time when you were a baby."

I look up and I see a face looking at me. Boom! A big sound goes off. He picks me up and carries me away.
~Reality~
You're....You're John." I said
