The day started like it normally did. John dodged his father during his morning routine and then made his way to school. The normally brain dead, sleep deprived teenagers were all in groups, bunched together and speaking in hushed, breaking tones. Some of them simply hugged each other and cried.
He couldn't understand why. He made his way to the hallway and stopped. Vriska stood in the middle of the hall. She hesitantly took a step towards him.
"W-what's wrong Vriska?" He asked her.
"So you have no idea what's going on do you?" she started.
"You want answers...well, someone we know took their life."
John stared at her in disbelief.
"John, something is happening," she handed him a cat bell. "it's like a plague."
John closed his eyes.
"John are you listening?"
John opened his eyes. Standing before him was Nepeta Leijon.
She wasn't speaking to him directly. She was simply speaking in this blank world.
"When I first received this bell, I was so happy. A very close friend of mine gave me this bell. I wore it everyday, but he moved away for a while and when he came back, he didn't even notice me. I felt heartbreak."
She paused
"He always had cared fur me, but now he doesn't even remember my name. What happened to us? He abandoned me. Now every time I hear the jingle of this bell I feel sadness."
She begins to break down in tears.
"If I disapeared, would he notice? ...I know what to do now..."
John outstreched his hand to her.
John's eyes shot open.
"back from dreamland?"
John just nodded.
"So you saw her too I'm assuming..."
"Yeah, I did...what is this all about?"
"John, you may not belive this but, we are decendants from two very powerful thinkers. I'm pretty sure you know what you just saw."
"No I have no idea what I saw."
"Well John. What you saw was a memory fragment. Memory fragments come from a person's most valued object. You can view a person's last thoughts, momory or words."
"So why is all this important?"
"People are dying everywhere John, everyone is baffled and no one knows how to fix this but I think I have an idea on how to set back time..."
"Go on..."
"Using these items we can open a rift."
"What's a rift."
"It's sort of like a portal, using the portal we can pick any time we wish and set it back. We can stop the person who created this illness, but remeber, the friends that we made, the feelings we had will all disappear once we enter this rift. We will only remember our goal prior to the illness."
"How many items will it take to open this rift?"
"It's hard to say John. We need more people to help us with this rift."
She walked down the hall to her class.
