Everything was blurry. I could only make out small shapes and images. The space around me was black.

Pure black.

As I turned it seemed to go on for miles.

Making it worse I was alone.

My emotions got the better of me as I started crying.

Slowly easing my pain.

Then I heard it.

A girl it sounded like.

Young at that.

I looked back to see an image.

It's surface rippled like water as I stared into it.

2 Youngs girls and what looked like their parents were with them.

"Kates come on! The Elephants are this way!!", A small blonde cheered. Her curly hair bounced up and down as another girl joined her.

They looked so similar, it's almost like they could be sisters.

"Laney! Wait! My feet hurt!", The taller of the two spoke. She was bright and fair skinned. Lighter blonde hair and steel Grey eyes.

The girl now known as Laney pouted.

"Kates come onnnn! The sooner we go the sooner we get ice cream!", Laney raised an eyebrow trying to draw her friend in.

Kates eyes lit up and she was immediately jogging along side.

"Katy! Delaney!  You two hold on right now before we go home!", A short man spoke. His hair was dark. His features sharp. He somewhat resembled the girl known as Laney.

"Rick! Calm down a little they are just having fun!", A petite woman spoke with a wide smile.

A small laugh escaped from her lips as her dark brown ponytail flopped around as the sharp wind hit her face.

Rick let out a sigh and nodded.

The two girls were now far ahead at the lion pen.

"Lanis watch!", Katy got down on all fours and clawed at the air. Her small nose crinkling as she imitated the sound of a lion.

Delaney laughed as she got down and did the same.

"I am the king of the pride and nobody can stop me!", Delaney giggled as Katy pounced on her.

Katy snarled before she was lifted up by two strong arms.

"Daddy! Let me down we were just playingggg!", Katy pouted. Her little eyebrows furrow ing together.

"Play more nicely. Don't ruin your clothes.", He looked at her sternly before setting her down.

Then it all clicked.

This wasn't a dream.

I knew these people.

My memories were flooding back  so quickly.

I smiled as I thought about waking up and seeing my parents.

Oh how lovely they must be!

I strained as I tried to open my eyes.

Nothing.

Again but harder,

still nothing.

After about 10 attempts I freaked out.

Why wasn't I waking up?

I felt a sharp pain in my arms before seeing black again.

*Delaney*

I watched as the made an incision in her forehead. I was almost in tears already.

Hayes looked depressed.

I felt even worse knowing that o wasn't the last person to see her.

I sighed and sat next to him.

"She is very pretty. Even with the scars.", His eyes were glossy. I could tell he was about to cry but decided best not to prod.

"You shouldve seen her without them. I used to be so jealous. She has always been tall, artistic. I love her eyes. Sometimes grey, sometimes blue. It all depends. I've been with her since elementary school you know? It's hard seeing somebody you loved so much just- disappear like that.", I could feel my vocal chords clench at the thought of losing her. What would I do?

I can't pay for our apartment all by myself!

I can't just find a guy and forget!

I looked over to see Hayes staring at me.

"It's all Nash ' s fault. He's done stuff like this before. I'm so sorry.", He looked down as a tear dripped down his nose. 

I hugged him sympathetically before standing up. I went straight to Matt.

"Anything new? Progress?", I looked at him before turning my head through the observers window.

I frowned upon seeing her still unconscious.

"Nothing as of now.", He gave me a weak smile before wrapping his arms around me.

I felt the electricity jolt through my viens.

Damn not now. Why can't he save it for later.

"Look Lane. We just met today. So I wont try anything on you. But, if you stick around for a while and decide you want to go on a date I'd be cool with that.", He kissed my hair before having thag sexy half smirk played on his lips.

Zayum.

"Of course I would!", My heart was racing.

I think he just asked me out without actually asking me out.

Hehe.
