~Chapter 1~

The End of a New Beginning?

Drifting in the darkness...Forgetting the warmth comfort...Complete chaos..forgetting what it is like to be human...to live...A journey of a thousand miles begins with one little step...

Courage does not always roar...it merely says 'I will try again tomorrow'...

The only true love is love at first sight; second only dispels it...But if you love me, let me know. If not, gently let me go.

Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. All is true.

Light...light...LIGHT!

The ceiling was white. There were bright lights that hung over me. All I could see was the ceiling.

When I tried to move, heaviness abound me. Hm...I knew none of my bones were broken.

I tried again. This time, I could move my head. I slowly regained consciousness. Who am I? What am I? Where am I? I don't remember a thing...

When I turned my head, almost everything came back to me.

"Toni?" I said. I remember her name. Was she my friend?

Toni was lucky enough to sit up and rub her eyes. "What...ugh..Milah? Whoa..what happened? I don't remember a thing.."

"Do you remember most stuff? When I turned to you, I remembered a lot. But not everything. At least, it feels like that."

Toni shrugged. "Not much...but, I remember we were friends..at one time..."

"Well, good. Now, all we have to do if find out what in the Under where happened. What the...?" I clasped my mouth. Toni burst into laughter, but it pained her and she stopped.

Toni giggled. "Where did THAT come from? Ha ha..."

I giggled a little. "I have no clue...Underwhere...ha..."

Suddenly, we heard a click on a door nearby. I leaned my head up a little. In came a doctor.

He was any normal doc, but with greasy black hair and glasses. He didn't have a big, fat nose, but a moderate one.

"My my my! Our two survivors."

"Survivors..." I whispered.

"Yep! You don't remember?"

Toni shook her head. "No. How would we? What happened? I DEMAND ANSWERS!"

The doctor settled Toni down. "Now now. Settle down, please. Everything is all right. Let me start from the beginning."

"There was an explosion. You tow and a coupe of others were in that building. Somehow, it exploded. It might have been a gas leak. But, you two were found alive. Only you two."

My eyes widened. "What about...our parents?"

"No worries. They were not in the explosion."

Toni sighed relief.

"Now," the doctor said, "We have some clothes for you two. They were from your parents. Get dressed, and they;ll be waiting outside of this room to your left." The doctor left.

Toni and I got dressed (without each other seeing of course). Toni had on a tan jacket and pants, with a white shirt and black shoes. I think I've seen her before...especially in that outfit.

I got in a aqua green jacket, and blue jeans with white, green, and blue Nike sneakers. We then walked outside to our parents.

"Is...Toni there?"

"Yup. Toni!" There was a lot of static...then...

"Um...Milah?"

"Yeah. I wanna talk."

"Of course you do..." She said sarcastically. "Anyways, we're probably thinking the same thing." I heard a door close. She probably went into her room.

I lowered my voice. "Yeah. Isn't it...weird? Only US survived the..explosion. And I feel as if something's missing."

"Yes...me too. But the really creepy thing is..." She lowered her voice so low, it was hard to hear her. "is...um...oh never mind."

"What? What is it? Tell me!"

"Shush! OK. Fine! Well, I feel as if there is some sort of...terror inside me. Something frighting. Also, something...dark..."

"Y-Your probably just feeling some sort of...after-effect."

"I guess so. Oh..got to go. Mum says time to go to bed."

"I though it was summer."

"Yeah, but she thinks something might happen if I go to bed late."

"OOOkaaaayyy." I said.

"Pfft..." Toni hung up.

Step step...patter patter...tap tap tap...

I turned around. It was late at night. I got really thirsty, so was trying to sneak into the kitchen for something to drink. But...I kept on hearing noises. Mice probably...

I argued with myself.

But they're to loud and big for mice! Even rats.

Then what could it be?

My head pounded. I drank the glass of water, and quickly retreated to my room.

"But...I love you!"

"I'm sorry..."

Blackness...

Blood...

Chaos...

Chaos...it sounded so familiar..chaos...chaos...chaos...chaos...

c-c-chaos...it slowly drifted away.
