Gene's Premonition
Chapter One
She ran.
She ran as fast as she could. But she couldn't outrun him. He was right behind her, gaining more and more speed, and he showed no signs of stopping. Her heart was pounding and her arms pumped wildly at her sides. "Save me," she screamed. "Someone, please!" But no one was around. It was only her and him in the dark, cold alley. Then, as if things couldn't get any worse, the alley ended at a dead-end, with nowhere else to run. She put her back against the cold concrete wall and watched as he walked, slowly towards her. He grinned wickedly as he strolled toward her. She screamed out, her voice echoed through the cold, dark night. He then grabbed her and smashed her head against the wall.
That was when Gene woke up. Beads of sweat poured from his forehead and his heart was racing violently. He couldn't believe what he just saw. It was like he saw the future or something. But the thing is, he never saw the girl or the guy before, but he felt as if he already met them, as if he met them in a past life or something.
He wiped the sweat off from his forehead and slid out of bed. He stumbled into the bathroom and ran the cold water. He splashed the water on his face and looked at himself in the mirror. His eyes were red and he had dark circles underneath his eyes from staying up late. His skin was pale, with no color what so ever.
It's been a year since Hilda died, but yet he still missed her. He met her on Sentinel III (sp?). It was nighttime and Jim was working on his computer. And all of the sudden a girl called, asking for Gene. Once he saw her, he fell in love instantly. But their relationship didn't last, because she was killed by the Key Pirates after they found the Outlaw Star. Gene hasn't been in space since.
"Look at yourself," he said, staring at his reflection. He hated what he saw. He wished he could just move on, but it was too hard to let go of his feelings.
"Hey, Gene!" Jim exclaimed, standing outside the bathroom. "Could you maybe hurry up in there?
Gene dried off his face and opened the bathroom door. "It's all yours, kid," he said, and walked into the kitchen.
Why did he feel so worried? Why was he so worried about that girl? It's not like it was even real. It could just be a dream, a little dream. But what if it wasn't? What if it really was going to happen, and he's the only one that can stop it from coming true?
"Gene, what's wrong with you today?" Jim asked, eating pancakes. "You're so out of it this morning."
Gene blinked blankly and looked at him. "I'm fine. I guess I just need more sleep, that's all. Don't worry."
Jim shrugged and went back to eating his pancakes. Gene stood up and grabbed his coat.
"I'm going to go out," he said, and walked toward the door. "I'm not sure when I'll be back, so don't wait up for me."
Jim rolled his eyes. "I won't."
Gene waved one last time and headed out the door.
It must've been rush hour, since cars were piled onto the street, in an endless line. Cars beeped as he walked in front of them. But he didn't care, he just kept on walking, as if he didn't hear the horns or the people shouting at him.
He walked down the street and across the bridge. He didn't know where he was going, but he was getting there quickly.
His stomach started to growl, so he stopped at a restaurant on the corner of the main street. He walked inside.
Inside, there were statues of dragons and Buddha's. The tables were low on the floor and Chinese scrolls on the walls. The lighting was dim, but each table had their paper lanterns. The waitresses were wearing kimonos and chopsticks in their hair. Gene thought it was cheesy, but he figured he was too hungry to go anywhere else.
"How many?" the hostess asked. She was wearing a red kimono with little flowers all over it.
"One," he replied flatly.
"Follow me," she said with a flirty smile.
Gene nodded and followed after her. Despite his heart was broken, he still felt attracted to her.
"Here's your table," she said, and placed the menu on the table. "A waitress will be around in a minute."
"Thanks," he said, and sat down.
She left and he watched as she walked away.
He sighed and picked up the menu. Miso soup … egg rolls … wanton soup … lo mien … the list goes on and on. He knew Jim would be mad if he knew how much money hew was going to spend, but he didn't care.
"Hi," a girl said. "I'm Melfina, and I will be your waitress for today."
He looked over the menu and stared. For some reason, he recognized her. He knew that violet hair and her voice. It was like he had already met her before, but that was silly, because he never saw her before in his life.
"Are you all right?" she asked, placing her hand on his shoulder. "You look as if you've seen a ghost."
He cleared his throat. "I'm being told that a lot lately."
She removed her hand and smiled. "Do you want me to bring you a drink or something?"
He swallowed hard and nodded. "A beer would be fine."
His heart was beating rapidly and his stomach was doing somersaults. Why was he so nervous? It's not like it's the first time he ever talked to a beautiful girl. And it probably won't be the last. He hasn't felt this way in a long time. He was surprised he still had feelings after all this time.
She scribbled his order down and looked at him. "I'll bring it out right away." She walked away, and he was alone, again.
Meanwhile…
"So, Melfina," one of her fellow waitresses said, with a grin, "who's the hottie?"
Melfina looked at her with a confused expression. "Who are you talking about, Aisha?" She got a beer bottle from the cooler and got ready to take it into Gene.
"You know who I'm talking about," she replied, and pointed to Gene. "Him. The redhead."
She blushed and quickly snapped out of her longing daze. "He's just a customer. Honestly, Aisha, are guys all you ever think about?"
"Of course," she replied, and pushed Melfina into the dinning area. "Go in there and flirt."
Melfina rolled her eyes and walked over to him. "There you go," she said, and placed the bottle on the table.
"Thank you," he said, and gulped some down.
She smiled and then looked at Aisha, who was motioning her to sit down. She shook her. "No," she whispered, forgetting that he could hear her.
"No what?" he asked, looking her over suspiciously.
"Just do it!" Aisha said, causing some customers to look at her oddly. Her face turned red and she went back to watching them.
Melfina sucked in her shyness and sat down at the table. She couldn't believe what she was doing. She looked at him and a dizzy confusion filled her mind. She couldn't resist the feeling. It was like she was free falling into a deep darkness.
"My nanme is Melfina," she said, trying to hide her uneasy smile.
Gene looked at her curiously and then put his bottle down. "I'm Gene. Gene Starwind."
She smiled and the before she could reply back, she saw a familiar guy come out from the dark shadows. It was Harry, her ex-boyfriend. He walked closer to them with anger in his eyes.
Gene noticed Melfina's frightful look. "What's wrong? Are you okay?"
She nodded and tried to hide her face with her hands, but it didn't help, since he already saw her.
