~Leto~

In the year of 1994 in a small quiet town named Mercy Hollow, I was a 17 year old art student at a local college of which the name I cannot recall as it is not of importance, I was told I had the 'gift' of seeing things in art that others cannot see; like images that are not there or faces in reflections but I never thought that this was considered a 'gift'.

It was two mornings before the day I saw him and I had an overwhelming feeling of ickyness deep in the pit of my stomach, like when you've eaten something that doesn't quite agree with you.

Hurrying quickly to my early morning History Of Art theory lesson with my arms full of art books and other text books I bump into my best friend and she drops her books, she is the closest friend I have out of my close group of little friends who is consequently doing the exactly the same thing I am.

"Shit, what the hell?"

"Sorry! Oh its only you, sorry Tal."

"Oh it's only me, no need to worry."

"Sorry, anyway you got those notes from last week? I missed that entire lesson because I had to be somewhere."

She smirks as she leans down to pick up her books and I just know that she has something up her sleeve that is going to make a nun blush.

"Yeah sure 'had to be somewhere' more like had to be under someone."

As soon as the words leave her mouth, I am gobsmacked and can only stand there gaping with my mouth hung open.

"Don't make that face at me, you know you were thinking it, anyway you know you can't say shit like that in front of me without at least getting a little comment."

"Fuck off; anyway we better get to lesson before the teacher kills us."

Before I can make a move to get to class, she quickly grabs my arm and takes a good look at my face.

"Hang on a second, why are you blushing?"

"It's nothing, let's go!"

I had always loved the conversations between Tallulah and I, they were always so easy and so carefree back then when we didn't know that everything we knew and everything we thought we knew would be completely changed in the course of just a few days.

She was so different from everyone we knew back then, she always showed on her face what she felt and she sure as hell would tell you if she didn't like something that you were doing; believe me if you came across her in a dark alley you would want to back pedal to where ever the fuck you came from.

A few hours later and it is already lunch time and we are all sitting at a table in the cafeteria, all engrossed with our own things.

"Oi Leto, were you listening to anything they were saying in class this morning? Every time I looked at you you had this strange kind of off in the distance kind of look on your face and it freaked me out, did you take your meds today?"
