Long Forgotten
Part I:
As she walked down the dark and void alleyway, Luca sensed another being in her presence. Full of alarm, she instinctively reached for her neck, grasping her ankh; her sense of security. She slowly turned around to find at the end of the alleyway a woman.
Cautiously, Luca slowly walked up to her out of curiosity. As she walked she saw that the woman was dressed in a gorgeous black lace and silk dress. She, too, wore the ankh.
Luca then remembered what had happened when she'd come up to somebody out of curiosity. Remembering her horrible past, she suddenly started to feel he unmistakable lump in her throat. White-hot tears flooded her vision and ran down her cheeks.
Suddenly, the stranger come to her and looked at her full of sympathy and understanding. She gently wiped the tears from Luca's eyes. Luca, full of sadness, put her head down and wept silently. The woman then raised Luca's head until the woman and Luca's eyes were locked. The woman then said, "Luca, do not weep, for I will not abandon you like the others have."
Luca then felt a sudden shock go through her body like nothing she had ever felt before. Dizzy and feeling faint, Luca looked at the strange woman and fell unconscious.
Part II:
Luca woke up to find herself in a giant elaborate room with a giant chandelier in the center. There were also two fountains with statues of people she had never seen. She sat up and was in the center of a huge four- poster bed that could at least twenty overly obese people.
She examined herself, looking at the beautiful black silk dress she was wearing. She desperately tried to remember what happened to her. Was she dead? Was she dreaming? Questions similar to these raced through her mind.
"Morning! Did you sleep well?"
Luca jumped in panic. Who had said that? "I said that," the voice said.
"Watch out," Luca called. "I have a knife and I will use it." She lied. "Okay, but it won't do you any good," the voice called out. Out emerged a girl who looked about the age of fifteen. She has waist-length, straight, thick hair. Everything about her was just irksome. Yet the most peculiar things about her were her eyes. One was blue, flecked with silver, the other was a bright green.
"Who are you?" Luca asked. "My name is Delirium," the girl said. "I'm Luca," said Luca. Delirium replied, "Well, I knew that. But anyway, nice ta meet'cha!" Luca was beginning to see the girl was very bright and cheerful for one with such as dark name.
Luca's past:
Luca Jean Vienna was born on March 11, 1972 at 12:07 am. She weighed 6 lbs. 6 oz. She had dark brown eyes, jet-black thick wavy-curly hair, and light- tan skin. She grew up like every other child with friends and sleepovers. It was a happy time. Probably the happiest time in her life. As it came around her tenth birthday, she began losing her friends. They grew jealous of her, for she was very beautiful.
When she was about twelve she grew entirely anti-social. She was quiet, only talking when absolutely necessary. She got decent grades all throughout middle school and into the beginning of highschool. When she was in the tenth grade she met a guy named Davis.
Her immense beauty took him aback. How a girl could be so shy and quiet? He wanted her and he would do anything to get her.
She became best friends with him and felt she could tell him anything in the world. She felt he listened with his undivided attention. They soon started dating.
Now, Davis was the type of guy that would sleep with girls and told them he loved them, and then leave them to suffer miserably in her own emptiness.
It had been some time since Davis had sex and he longed for it. He tried getting close to her several times, but she had just turned away. This frustrated Davis because no girl had ever done this to him before. On Luca's birthday, Davis took her to his house. She did not know where they were going. He took her into the house. He got close to her and then leaned down and they engaged in a long, passionate kiss.
When he started to unbutton her shirt, she let go of the kiss and stared at him in disgust. He did not like this. He was desperate so he then knocked her unconscious and raped her.
When he was done he drove her body to a nearby wood and left her. Nearly five hours later she woke up bruised and very sore. What had happened? Where was she? She then noticed she was bleeding in all sorts of places that should not have been bleeding.
She gathered up all the strength she could manage and stood up. And she walked. And walked.
A girl had seen her walked along the road. She pulled over and saw the condition Luca was in. She asked Luca is she needed a ride. Luca just barely nodded her head and got in the car.
The girl called the police station and told them about finding Luca. She then took Luca to the hospital. She told the nurses about finding her and waited in the lobby while the doctors tried to determine what had happened. Although it was very obvious.
The nurses then told the girl that found her that she was in critical condition but would live. The girl went to see Luca. She then said goodbye and left without another word.
The police eventually caught Davis and had him serve years in prison. Yet this punishment was harsh, it could not take away all the scars that still lie forevermore in Luca's memory.
Part 2
"Where am I?" Luca asked. "You are in the realm of the dead." Luca's eyes widened with fear. "No, no, no. You are not dead. You're just at Death's house," said Delirium giggling. "Well, if I'm in Death's 'realm' and you're Delirium, then where's Death? And who's this 'Death'?" asked Luca. There were many questions she wanted answered.
"Death is my older sister. She's out collecting the dead at the moment. She is the guide to either heaven or hell once mortals die," said Delirium in a sorrowful voice. "What's wrong?" asked Luca. Delirium sniffed and said, "Well, it's just that you mortals' life span is so short it's almost impossible to make friends!"
"Then I'll be your friend for the time being," said Luca. "I would like that," replied Delirium. At that very second a big thump went throughout the house. Luca jumped, her eyes wide again. "What was that?" Luca asked shakily. "Deathy's home!" she said in an excited voice, "Oh," Luca replied, still on edge.
"Delirium, I'm home!" a voice called out. "Okey dokey! I got the girl to wake up!" Delirium called out. "Oh, did you? That's great," said the voice and in walked the most beautiful woman Luca had ever seen. (Luca did not think she herself was very beautiful, though she was.) "You... you... you're the woman from the alleyway," she stammered.
"Yes, I am. I'm Death," she said calmly. "I'm..." Luca started. "You are Luca," said Death. Again, Luca's eyes widened with fear. "How did you know my name?" Luca asked with fear and suspicion. "I know a lot about you," Death replied.
"Well, thank you for letting me stay here, but I'm pretty sure I'm just taking up space and probably leaving a burden on you, so I should probably get going." Said Luca quickly. Death stopped her and said, "You're not leaving a burden on us. We like the company. We have much to discuss. After I tell you what I have to tell you, you'll think twice about going back."
