Well...after reaching over one hundred reviews on Hey, You, I figured it was time to post the first cheater to the sequel. :) I will update pretty regularly once I finish my other story (only two chapters left!), so for now this is sort of the opening to what happened after Hey, You!
Those for you reading who have not read the first installment in this series, I suggest you give it a read before taking this one on! It'll make much more sense c:
without further ado, I give you Who Is In Your Heart Now!
Cold.
Concrete.
Blinking street lights.
I awoke with a sharp intake of breath, my eyes blinking open immediately after. My chest heaved and I wrapped both of my arms around my stomach, sitting up and looking around anxiously, a sharp pain nagging at my sides. Wincing slightly at the pain, my eyes scanned the area I in. Shops surrounded me, all decorated with multi colored leaves and animals - mainly turkeys - covered in piles of snow. Actually, snow covered almost everything - the sidewalk, the road, even the street lights hanging from the telephone poles. I didn't feel that cold, since I seemed to be covered very well with a scarf around my neck and two jackets, along with boots. Why did I fall asleep here? Was I even asleep before? I didn't feel like I was asleep, I didn't really feel anything before this. I think I was asleep, because I felt tired and weak. Or was I hungry?
My arms left my stomach after the pain subsided and rested on the ground, painting themselves with white chalk. I rubbed my fingers together and noticed there was a sort of...outline underneath me. Was this a crime scene? Why did I fall asleep here! Standing up immediately, I backed away and saw the outline of a person's body on the ground, and looked up to see yellow tape blocking the way into the street from the sidewalks, which were completely empty. The only sounds were the steady fall of snow landing on the ground and the wind. Why was I here? The picture before me puzzled and scared me, and I ducked underneath the tape to get away from the area hurriedly.

My footsteps echoed through the woods I had wandered into, with the occasional snap of a twig or branch. I hugged myself tighter as I kept walking, ignoring the random pain in my sides while I kept walking absent mindedly, trying to get my thoughts together. Why was I asleep there? Or even anywhere around there? Was it a joke, did someone just leave me there so I could wake up freaked out? But who would it be? I didn't remember anyone from...well, anywhere. I felt lost and confused all at once, and I just wanted to slip back into that unconscious state I was in before. Why did my sides hurt so damn much? Why am I so hungry!
All of my angry mutters stopped suddenly as an opening in the trees above revealed what seemed to be a huge, white, glowing ball in the middle of the dark sky. I winced at the brightness but fixated my eyes on it, admiring the shape and several craters adorning it. I somehow knew the name of it, even if I've never seen it before: the moon. It was so pretty, so simple and yet it seemed to be so important. The object comforted me. Its light shined down on me and I looked down, noticing something I hadn't seen before sticking out of my pocket— a triangular object. I took it in my hand and turned it around, observing its shape and thinness, all while wondering what it could be used for. Two letters were carved into the back: "L.L", which only quirked my interest more. What were they? And why did I have this in my pocket?
I stuffed the object back into my pocket and began walking again, the pain subsiding once again, reaching the end of the woods and instead starting on some sidewalk, really not knowing what to do. I didn't know where I was or who I could talk to, actually, I didn't even know what my name was. Did I loose my memory? That had to be it, I had to have had some sort of amnesia. Should I go to a hospital? Or get help somehow from someone? First, I had to get directions from someone. It was pretty dark out here, possibly around midnight, but I'm sure I could find someone to tell me where I was and how to get to a doctor. Picking up my pace, I manuvered my way through streets and neighborhoods, hoping to see someone on the streets who could help me. There had to be some freak out at midnight!
Finally, after taking a break from so much walking (how big is this place?), a person came into view walking from what seemed to be a bar, and I immedietly rushed up to him, relief washing through me. "Finally...sir! Sir, excuse me, do you think you could give me directions to the nearest hospital?" He didn't stop walking or even give me a glance. Now a bit pissed off, I reached out for his shoulder—
Then yanking my hand back in horror, falling onto the sidewalk. My hand just...just went through him! Through his shoulder! My breathing rate picked up as I caught up to him again, trying to reach out and touch him somehow, but every damn time my arms went through, like a ghost! Was I a ghost, and that's why I have no memories of anything? This isn't making sense! Giving up, I turned on my heel and ran the opposite direction, confused tears stinging my eyes as I let my legs take me wherever they wanted to.
My name I figured, was Lyric.
I figured because the moon told me so.
Except that was the only thing he said to me.
What'd you think? It's not gonna be that exciting, it's the first chapter! In the stupid words of my friend, AliCamille, "it gets the stone rolling". So yea. Anyways, I thought this up all throughout my trip to Disney world, so please leave a review if you're a Hey, You fan! If you're new, leave a review telling me what you thought!
