JESSICA

That One Moment In Life That Changes All The Rest.

Me and my family walked through the doors of our regularly sized mansion, the rest of the family was parched from a day what seemed to be awesome to me, So we all retired to our rooms promising to come down again only for an ordered dinner of pizza, suggested by Charolette my step-mom. I ran upto my room on the second floor, closed and locked the door behind me, I did not want Jordan my older brother walking in when I was changing! I threw the half a dozen bags I had onto the bed and then took my heels off while holding onto a chair for support. When I had taken them off I felt somewhat exhausted but then again relieved, I laid down on my bed ignoring my shopping bags next to me and stared up at the ceiling, I closed my eyes from the view of plain white and smiled sub-consciously to my self. I took a huge breath of oxygen in and let my body go limp as if glad to be alone in quietness. My eyes where still closed when a burning sensation started from my centre chest.

I let the air out in a whoosh! As the fire surged through my body only becoming hotter! I tried to shout out but my throat was burning hotter than ever. I wrapped my numb arms around my chest and upper stomach hugging them tight, trying to ease the pain. But it was too much my eyes flustered open only to see my room all blurry, like colours all mashed up together. I was impressed by the colour combinations but didn't get to admire it long, my breathing became hard as I realized sweat beads trailing down from forehead to my chin.

I let out a tortured groan as I made another attempt to scream out in vain. I had been compelled by the fire and no matter how hard I tried, screamed or even begged the fire in my conscious it didn't free me from its ever burning flame. I lay on the bed to what seemed like forever, hoping or you could say praying some one would come to my room, but nothing continued to happen other than the increase in the fire temp. as it wrapped my body in endless torture. I had never once in my life imagine something like this ever happening to me or anyone else, the pain was immense and there was nothing I could do, so I was unmistakably relieved when blackness took over…

The feeling of being pulled by gravity into eternal blackness caused a mix of emotion in my head. I was relived to have been saved from the scorching heat of the fire, But curious to were I would end up and as to what was happening to me, And scared of the possibilities of what they would be. But my head felt light despite all the worries that should have had me fretting or throwing a tantrum, my breathing felt shallow and even but my heart was racing trying to defeat death.

I didn't have to even try to ignore it, It came naturally and I was thankful for that. My eyes continued to stare off into distant, unending blackness as I was being dragged down or even floating I couldn't tell anymore. My head felt dizzy, I didn't fight the urge to close my eyes and then drifted off into what I thought was a deep, unpredictable but peaceful sleep.

The next time I awoke was in a haze of panic! Everything that had happened filled my head, so many unanswered questions danced around wildly. As I struggled to catch my breath at a steady rate, I let my eyes wonder around to learn of my new unknown surroundings. I was in a hospital room! I realized. I opened my eyes a little wider to take an actual look around. But they got dragged to identify the root of a sound I didn't intend on hearing. It was as I thought someone clearing their throat. It was a really large sized dark man with straight blonde hair gelled back, he wore a white unbuttoned shirt which revealed his abs and a pair of black baggy pants with a gold metal belt with what looked like a bull making a pissed off face on it. Our eyes locked his with an unreadable expression and mine in a glare.

There was silence of about 10 seconds and eventually a tension grew, I was the first to speak "Who are you?" I asked confidently. The thought brought in so many questions that extracted the confidence in my brain and left only confused emotions. I didn't give him time to answer; instead I let my mouth burst out with questions and accusations "Where are my parents? Where am I? What happened? What have you done to me?" the anger in me just kept flowing out. I hadn't realized that he had stood up from his original place on the couch, until he spoke in his rather rough voice "Don't bother yourself with all of that yet kid, Call me Aa-Dono-;" I didn't let him finish "No! I want to know now!" I think I sounded angry but I couldn't care less right now. However my little gesture for freedom didn't look like it impressed him his face grew impatient he waited and then he spoke, "I told you don't bother yourself, why don't you just go think about this before going into rash decisions, like the others." His words caught me off hand 'there are others?' I turned my head down to think, he was right I needed time to sort stuff out and clear my head. I didn't realize he was gone until the door closed behind him, my head snapped in that direction and I watched a gold knob turn, locking me inside.

I took a deep breath in and then let it out. I pulled the covers off myself and slid out of bed, It took me a few seconds to get my balance back. I realized I was still in the clothes I was in when I was at home! My hot pink tank top and denim knee-lengths I was however barefoot. I walked up to the large, glass double doors leading to the balcony. Perfect place for thinking! I let myself walk to the end and then hold on to the railing. I was about a 100 feet above ground level below me was a healthy looking bustling town.

Some thing on the left caught my attention, hesitantly I turned my head to see what it was. There was a girl on the next balcony, her black hair tied firmly into a ponytail, she didn't notice me so I look the liberty of identifying her features she was wearing blue and white plastic tracks and a white t-shirt, I couldn't see the colour of her eyes, but in attempt to do that my eyes caught something or someone rather beyond her! It was a boy he had dessert brown hair, he wore white pants and a light blue t-shirt. I couldn't see more than that so I turned my head back to the village below me and thought 'These must be the others!'
