Forgotten Future

Secrets

The day passed by and I found myself bored with all my classes, in math I was still stuck on Romeo and Juilet and in French I found myself counting the amount of math problems I had for homework. That wasnt the most important thing on my mind though, the most important thing for me was what Lee had said to me, the dream I had last weekend, and the meeting that was to come later that night.

I don't understand why everyone is keeping secrets, even Aaron's playful attitude seemed deceitful. I found my mind a tormenting place to be, all my classes' lessons reflected what was really happening in my mind, teachers telling stories of past relationships in English class, in math class people sharing secrets while the teacher was clueless. I shared one class with Lee and the whole time I found myself stealing glances at him, hoping his brown hair or him brown eyes would trigger the past once again.

No such luck came at all throughout the day with all my struggling and willing and searching of my blank memory, everything was black, wiped clean like an untouched chalk board, ready to have the memories drawn in. The end of the day was just minutes away and I began to pack up, anxious, it was building inside of me like a demon with glowing eyes. I was hungry for answers. Elizabeth and Lee were my only hope.

When the bell rang I was the first one out of the room and weaving my way through the growing swarm of students, a few kids said goodbye and I returned the goodbye with a smile that I could feel practically glowing. I was easy to make look happy, it was trained into me if that was possible, when I put a smile on my face I knew what it looked like and I knew it looked like I had the best day of my life every day. Yet, my thoughts were still troubled with the want of my past.

We were all occupying an empty classroom so no one could listen in on us. Lee was there already, perfectly seated in a corner with his eyes closed, he looked troubled or in pain even and I walked as quietly as possible to him, keeping my footsteps silent. I crept up and placed my hands on either side of his head, I forced myself to ignore how awkward we have been.

I was in his mind instantly, back to that day, Ignus in his cavern and us attacking, I was yelling things in a childish voice. I realized it was the future, I was foretelling his moves to save people.

"You foolish girl!" Ignus said in a gravelly voice, "I will kill every last one of you."

He struck out at me, with a flick of his sharp horned tail. Yet I already saw it and leaped out of the way, but one dagger still sliced my forehead. Lee called out to me he was faces away from me but he saw it happen directly after, he knew all my past.

His yell thundered through the room and I felt the ground shake, the blood was covering my face and I could taste the iron. Lee was now facing me in pure and utter horror and then I saw it, Ignus striking out at him, no, it hasn't happened yet. I screamed to him and went sprinting, he was my best friend I needed him.

I dove over him and his dark brown eyes met mine, his were teary and his hand reached up to my face as speckles of blood fell on his face from mine. Then I saw it, my body being flung across the room like a rag doll. I let out a jagged sob and held myself so I shielded Lee more, he was still fusing over my forehead when I heard the unmistakable whoosh and felt the undeniable pain. I knew death was coming and the tears on my face told me that that scared me. I continued to scream Lee's name until I became weak and he stood over me and I began to whisper his name.

"Lee, I'm scared... don't leave me." I said with continuing silent tears mixing with blood.

" Cecy, it's ok.." Lee told me but his eyes betrayed him.

"Why am I hurt... Why am I here?" I said feeling my memories slip away and go unconscious.

Suddenly I was pulled out of the memories and Lee was looking up with me with a mix of sadness and something more. He looked down and said "You know enought now." he got up and walked away.
