From a mountaintop he could see all the nasty pollutes in the air in the
sunlight. As he got down to where he was level with the city and all he saw
was a light smoke over the whole city. It had changed since he had lived
there, it had been a year since he had been alive, now he was back to set
things right. People walking on the streets walked by trying not to even
look at the others, "homeless" was what they were called, Eric walked by
and looked at them, he gave them anything that he had in his pockets
telling them to get themselves some food. He felt helpless, he fell to the
ground from a flash back,
"no, Eric, get up," Shelly's voice screamed out in his head,
"Shelly," Eric catching his breath and dragging his poor tattered body up from the ground. Entering his old broken down apartment, thousand memories filled his head, not realizing anyone was in there he started throwing things, there was a little girl about the age 17 in his bed, she woke up from the things being thrown,
"are you okay," she gets up from the bed and slowly walks over to him,
"who are you, what are you doing here in my apartment," Eric crawling away from her.
"I am Katrona, I came here when my parents died," Katrona getting in front of him and squatting down,
"I am Eric Draven, how did your parents die," Eric shaking a bit from the flashbacks,
"are you okay, your shaking," Katrona running and getting him a nice warm blanket, she came over and gently wrapped it around him,
"thanks," Eric looking down, she slowly inched closer to him, he flinched a bit,
"its okay Eric," Katrona hugging him, he let her hug him, he wasn't going to get close to her or anyone, Katrona pulls away slowly and walked into the bathroom and fixed him a nice warm bath.
"Come on I got you a nice bath fixed," Katrona trying to help him up, he saw her with her parents playing a game but then another vision came, her house was being set on fire and she was tied to a chair and fire surrounded her room, she finally got herself free from her binds and jumped through the fire and out of her room's window before the house blew up, he pushed her away,
"you have been through hell," Eric looking in her eyes seeing the same gorgeous blue eyes as his former love, Shelly.
"Do you need any help," Katrona not wanting to relive the whole night over,
"um, no," Eric getting up on his own, but falling back down, Katrona caught him though,
"I don't need help," Eric a bit harshly, Katrona backed away,
"okay, I am sorry for trying to even help you," Katrona walking away a bit upset thinking no one needed her. Eric left the bathroom door open and took off his torn black shirt off, Katrona caught glimpse of his nice smooth back, wanting to help him any way she could but looked out the window she was sitting in,
"I just want a friend, someone to want me," Katrona sighs, the crow was sitting near, through the crow Eric could see and hear what people around did or say, Eric looks at Katrona hurt but harshly and got into the warm bath she had fixed for him, he thought about what he had seen of Katrona's life, he finally got out and he wrapped a towel around himself and walked out into the room, Katrona wasn't no where in sight. Eric went over and got a nice pair of boxers and black pants on, he went over to the big round broken window and saw Katrona standing by his and Shelly's grave, the hard, cold rain poured down,
"I wish I could have known you and Eric, I just wish he would let me help him, let me be his friend, I miss my family," Katrona getting soaked in her torn clothes then Eric walked out and saw Katrona put a rose on Shelly's grave and lay one on his tombstone. She starts walking away from the house,
"follow her," Eric telling the crow to go after Katrona, Katrona winds up at a cemetery, her family was buried there, she carried two roses in her hands as she walked among the dark and the dead, not afraid of what might be in the darkness, but afraid she would never have the chance to be with her family again. Finally she found their grave and laid the roses on the grave,
"God, I want to be with you guys so much, mom, I miss the way you smelt and dad, I miss our fun and games," Katrona so longing to be with them, Eric had followed her to the grave, the crow sat on a tree branch near by, Katrona knows Eric was on his way to her.
"Eric, I don't need you now, just go away," Katrona cries but tried to be strong in front of Eric,
"I am fine, my life will be fine without anyone who cares, I mean I went two years without anyone," Katrona wiping her face,
"well, its okay to cry and need someone once in a while just never get attached to them cause you cant trust that they will be there for you always," Eric trying to push her hair back,
"don't Eric, I am fine," Katrona getting up and letting her long brown- blondish hair fall all around her face. Eric grabbed her arm and pulled her down to the ground and sent all of the shit he had been through into her head,
"I am sorry Eric," Katrona looking at him hurt and looking away and crying and turned back around and hugged him tight.
"no, Eric, get up," Shelly's voice screamed out in his head,
"Shelly," Eric catching his breath and dragging his poor tattered body up from the ground. Entering his old broken down apartment, thousand memories filled his head, not realizing anyone was in there he started throwing things, there was a little girl about the age 17 in his bed, she woke up from the things being thrown,
"are you okay," she gets up from the bed and slowly walks over to him,
"who are you, what are you doing here in my apartment," Eric crawling away from her.
"I am Katrona, I came here when my parents died," Katrona getting in front of him and squatting down,
"I am Eric Draven, how did your parents die," Eric shaking a bit from the flashbacks,
