A/N: Hello all! This fiction is the product of a fan fic challenge posted
by Indiegurl. I picked this title because it was a song in [i]Ghost[/i], at
least that's what it says on my parents' [i]Romantic Hollywood Hits[/i] cd.
I also chose it because and unchained melody will play a part in this
story…if that makes any sense to you, lol. Also, sorry that I haven't
updated any other fics. Aside from being roadblocked and extremely busy,
not to mention virtually internetless, I'm a victim to acute laziness.
Anyway, I guess you should hereby be warned that this story will be sort of
sad, hopefully that will not scare you off from reading it! Well, I guess
that's all I really have to say…it won't be A/U which is usually the
direction I take with stories so all characters, families, etc. are the
same. I will probably explain past events through the course of the story
not because you guys don't know about them, but because it will make the
story more complete. That is all, and thank you for reading in advance! (
Luv ya'll!

Unchained Melody
Prologue: Chapter 1
The white walls and floor of the testing room appeared to glisten in the bright light. In the corner of the small room was a table holding blood samples and needles, while in the center, beneath a large lamp was a flat, rolling bed. A single white sheet covered that hard matress, stiff with starch, as if its years of wear did nothing to soften it.
A doctor led the tall, blue-eyed brunette into the room, closing the double doors behind them. The two square windows set high in the doors were the only connection to life outside of that small space. The brunette sat down slowly onto the hard matress, rolling the sleeve of her sweater up as far as she could. The doctor rummaged around in the corner through a selection of needles, pulling an antibacterial wipe from a compartment on the table and walking back towards his patient. He wiped a small area of her arm then inserted the needle, drawing an entire vile of blood. The brunette winced slightly but said nothing. After this test she would be free to continue her life as a normal girl, or however close she ever was to being one.
Withdrawing the needle from her arm, the doctor patted it lightly with a cotton swab then walked away into the corner again, labeling the sample and capping it. The brunette rolled her sleeve down and swung her legs over the side of the bed, watching the doctor. He finally turned around and nodded at her, holding the sample protectively in his hand. The girl jumped off the bed and walked towards the doors, swinging one open and stepping back out into the steady rhythm of the Salem Hospital. The doctor walked into another room leading off to the labs, leaving her to make her way back to her family feeling somewhat relieved. That test left her with nothing to worry about but her audition for Julliard, an important part of her life that meant leaving that very night for New York.
All that was left to do now was to wait for her test results which would only prove how wrong her parents were for worrying, and she would be well on her way to becoming famous in the world of opera.
Little did she know what her simple sample of blood would reveal to her and whomever else it concerned. Little did she know it wasn't something pleasant, and little did she know that the test results would change her life forever.
Luv ya'll!
