Daylight

Chapter 1 - The Beginning

The first thing I remember was the pain.

The pain was unbearable, it felt like someone had set me on fire. I tried to scream to move to do anything but I was paralysed, I couldn't move or scream for help, for someone to stop the excruciating pain that felt like it would destroy my body.

In that moment I wished for nothing more than death, I wished for the darkness to envelope me, to take me away to where I didn't know but I didn't care, all I knew was that anything would be better than the torture that I was enduring in that moment.

I could slowly feel the pain easing away bit by bit, but as that pain started to decrease, a new form of torture showed itself in the form of my thirsty, burning throat that seemed to increase by the minute, it felt like a scorching fire in my throat that no amount of water would put out, that water wouldn't relinquish, but rather something more deadly.

As I started to regain my senses, suddenly a vision flashed before me, it felt like a dream, one i wished was real. There was a family but their clothes looked strange and like nothing that I had ever seen before. There was a couple at the front that looked older than the others that I felt a overwhelming feeling towards, a feeling that a child may feel towards their parents, but yet I knew that they were not my birth parents as they looked nothing like me. The woman had wavy, medium length, caramel coloured hair with a kind looking expression on her face that felt motherly.

Her partner was taller than her but also looked just as kind but slightly protective over her and the family behind him, he was tall with short blond hair and a kind, trusting face that made you feel like you could tell him anything and he wouldn't judge you.

Next there was a young looking blonde haired beauty who looked like the popular girl of any teenage drama. She looked like the queen bee type that you would expect to be the typical mean girl that may terrorise you and your friends in school, she had long blonde hair that perfectly framed her angelic face that made you think she couldn't do anything wrong.

The man beside her was the complete opposite of her delicate and small frame, he had broad shoulders and a muscular build with a playful smirk on his face that made him look like he was up to no good.

Thirdly there was a single man by himself who looked more somber and serious than the rest of his family as if he was not completely satisfied with his life. The stunning smile on his face didn't seem to meet his eyes, he looked like he wasn't complete or as if someone was missing by his side that would make the dazzling but fake smile on his face genuine.

Lastly to my surprise I saw myself, well the person looked like me, but unlike my emerald green eyes, this person that I saw seeing in front of me had soft golden eyes that matched the rest of the family, but other than that difference she was a clone of me. Beside the dream me was a handsome man that I immediately felt a strong connection towards by just looking at his face through my vision. He had honey blonde hair that I ached to run my fingers through, he looked quite cold but was looking at the woman that looked like me lovingly as if he would do anything for her.

As the vision slowly started to fade I wondered why I felt such a strong connection to these people that I hadn't even met before, I didn't even know if these people that I was seeing were reaI but yet I felt as if they were my own family, I felt as if the older couple were my parents and as if the man that I felt so much compassion towards was my lover and the other three people that looked around my age were my siblings. I didn't feel like I had ever felt such a strong connection to anyone before, yet I already felt like I would do anything for these people.

I wondered about my family and friends, I couldn't remember a detail of what my life was like before the pain and thirst consumed me, I couldn't remember anyone from my past. All I could think about was the strange family that I seemed to be a part of in some part of my life, I wondered if I could be seeing something that could happen in the future and that's why the clothes that they were wearing weren't like anything that I had ever seen before.

As I was wondering about all of this I did not not realise that I was slowly starting to wake up due to the fact that I was so confused about who these people were and who they were to me. I realised I could slowly open my eyes as I started to pry open my eyes i noticed i was in a abandoned building.

I didn't know where I was, I had nowhere to go all I knew was that my name was Alice and no matter what it took I would find them I had to there was no other option I had to know him.

I knew from the moment I saw him with his honey coloured hair that he was the only person for me, he was my other half, my future my destiny, and knew I would do anything to be with him, I would go to the ends of the earth for him despite never having heard his voice or even touching him I knew he was the one for me.

As I stood up I had a new determination I would find him because I knew from the moment I laid my eyes on him that he would make me happy. I knew it was love at first sight.
