Prologue: Storm of Thoughts
"COME BACK HERE YA TWISTED MESSED UP FRUIT LOOP!" I yelled angrily at the now retreating Vlad. He didn't even turn around to face me, just flew off in his helicopter laughing, stranding me where I now stood…err, flew.
I didn't plan on being here and I definitely didn't want to be stranded here, and yet here I was anyway! Stuck in the middle of nowhere. Oh wait, let me correct myself. Stuck over a stupid OCEAN!
You may be wondering how I got here. Well, Vlad, the deranged forty year old fruit loop that badly needs a cat, had somehow managed to convince my dad that we needed some 'bonding time' and invited us all to his mansion. My dad, being the goof he is, said yes.
Bad move on his behalf.
So, during this so-called 'bonding time' Vlad offered to take me up in his helicopter, to show me around and stuff. I was totally against it but Mom made me go. I think she only said yes since she didn't want to be near Vlad. Actually, I'm sure of it now.
Of course, sitting in a helicopter flown by your archenemy may not be the smartest idea. Especially when he's at the wheel and you're not. Note to self: never taunt Vlad when he's flying a helicopter. VERY bad idea.
To finish it off quickly, I made a witty remark. He made a witty retort. I insulted him by saying he was a fruit loop in need of a cat, which is very much true. He got mad, flew us about 500 miles out until we reached the ocean, and pushed, well actually blasted, me out of the helicopter. It was as simply as that.
I don't really think he was trying to kill me. Far from it in fact. Vlad still has that crazy notion that I may one day actually go to him of my own free will and decide I want to be his son. As if. I think he just wanted to shake me up. And I could always fly back home. It will just take a while… a long while.
Then again, I have no clue which direction is home except for knowing which way Vlad flew off, and it's getting dark, AND there looks to be a storm coming. A very big storm…. That can not be good.
Okay, I just have to focus. I'm a superhero. One little teensy-tiny storm can't beat me!… Well, maybe one little storm couldn't, but this big storm surely could!
I watched in fear as the dark black clouds started to roll closer and closer. I could feel rain hitting my face, slowly growing harder. I need to get out of here fast or I'm toast.
The wind was growing rougher every second and I was finding it harder and harder to stay steady. My mind was set on not dying, and yet it seemed as if nature had other plans for me. The wind slammed me into the sea and the icy cold water shocked me. All my nerves were on the fritz now and I kicked frantically, trying to reach the surface.
Sweet oxygen! I took several deep breaths before I was once more plunged into the inky black water. I must get back to the surface, but which way was up? Or down? I would even settle for knowing where sideways was!
I twisted and turned in the water, trying to get my bearings. Kick harder! Wait? Am I going the right way? Need air. Everything is becoming fuzzy…
My lungs feel like they're going to burst. I have to get to the surface or I'll die. But I can't get to the surface. I can't even get out from the water
Air, please! I'll call defeat a million times over, just give me air! I felt whatever oxygen was left in me escape through my open mouth. I closed my eyes and everything felt strangely calm. I felt like nothing could touch me now. I wouldn't call the feeling safe, more like serene. Tranquil. That's it. I felt tranquil. At peace for a few moments.
Was this how death felt? I don't think so, I died… well, technically half died before and it was nothing like this. When I entered the portal it hurt more then anything I had ever felt. Now, as I experience this, I felt calm.
And then, the world turned black and I fell to the clutches of unconsciousness.
o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o
When I first opened my eyes, all I saw was white. Okay, ouch! Way too bright! Hasn't anyone here heard of a switch? You know that little thingamabob that goes on the wall and turns off the lights? Ya know what I'm talking about? Someone please flip that in the other direction!
Okay, even I admit those are some pretty lame first thoughts. I had just survived a horrible…. I had just survived…. I had….
What had I done? I remember being very afraid and then feeling calm, but that's it. What was it?! It had to be important.
Maybe I should ask… wait, who do I know? Do I even have a family and friends? Do they know where I am right now, because I sure don't.
Something is really wrong here. I can't remember what happened to me or anyone who is or was supposedly close to me.
What's happening?
Then the greatest question dawned upon me.
Who am I?
I can't remember my name! Or where I was from! What's my favorite color? What do I want to be when I grown up? I CAN'T REMEMBER!
Think boy, think! You have to be someone! You can't be no one. If you're no one how were you born? Ha, answer that brain!… It's official; I'm already crazy.
For the first time since I woke up, I look at my surroundings. Nothing familiar, though I'm not sure I would recognize it even if it were. I was sitting on some white-ish yellow soft stuff. Sand. And the ocean was in front of me. Ocean, sand… Oh! I'm on a beach somewhere.
Great, that's nice to know. Now when I die everyone will know I was in a happy place. Okay, even I have to admit that's a depressing thought.
Yawn… wow, I'm tired. Maybe you get sleepy if you lose your memories. So tired…
You know, I'll figure out where I am tomorrow. And who I am. Right now I just need… some… sleep…
A/N: So? What didja guys think? Review and say I should so win!
