Wait, what? How did he get here?

I have no more time to evaluate how on Earth he got to the beach so quickly without a trace, for he is heading right toward me. He isn't walking like any normal person would, he is sprinting at full speed, he doesn't seem to slow down when he is a mere ten feet away from me.

I open my mouth to scream, but nothing comes out. It feels weird to not be heard, even when I'm used to it. Even when I was ignored, I could still make a sound, but now, I can't.

I am tackled to the ground with the mighty force of the man's hug. I don't know why he's doing this, I don't even have the slightest clue who he is, I never saw his face.

"Oh my gosh you're here!" the man shouts as he rolls off of me and flops on the sandy ground beside me. I don't dare turn my head, I am in too much shock to move. "You're early! How could you do this! I had to rush here, do you know how hard it is to get to Quebec from Germany in such short notice?"

I'm early? What am I early for? Who is this creep, and why did he tackle m- Wait, Germany? He came all the way to Canada from Germany just to see me (or someone who he thinks I am).

"How could you get me so worried? You were supposed to get here next week! But you're here now, so there's nothing we can do about it. What do you want to do?" I see his head turn to face me out of the corner of my eye. I still don't move an inch. "Oh wait, I forgot, you can't talk yet! Wow, I can be so stupid sometimes... Why are you just lying there?"

Seriously, does this guy have an off button? He just said that I can't talk, and yet he asks me a question that I need to speak to give an answer to. I decide to turn my head to look at him so I can give a proper report to the police later.

I slowly tear my eyes away from the slowly brightening sky and rotate me head in the sand to look at his face. The first thing I see are his eyes.

His eyes are beautiful. They are my favourite colour - red. They shimmer in the dim light as if they had a light of their own to illuminate the crystalline orbs staring right back at me. The crimson gems have small flecks of blue and violet scattered throughout them, making them all the more magnificent. They were placed in a face of pale white skin that looked delicate enough to burn in at night. Just by looking at his face, I could tell his skin was much softer than anyone else that I've know in my life. His face was surrounded by messy, greyish-white hair that definitely needed to be brushed.

I know I need to look away, but I can't, those eyes are too captivating. Maybe now he'll realize his mistake, and leave me alone on the beach again.

Why isn't he leaving? Who is he? He doesn't seem like he'd hurt me, but I don't know who he is! Maybe he's going to trick me into some false sense of security and then kill me! Wait, that's highly unlikely, he's too much of a blabber-mouth to kill someone successfully. I still need answers though...

I know how to communicate with sign language, but I'm not sure if he will understand. I try anyway. I force myself to sit up properly and I put on a confused face. I only remember a bit of sign language, luckily, 'explain' is something I remember. I move my hands alternating between forward and backward in front of me. I hope the stranger understands.

"What?" he asks, sitting up as well.

I sigh and think of a much better idea. I move my finger through the sand, and I spell out the words I am trying to say.

"Can you explain this to me?"

"Oh," the man smiled, I noticed that he looks like he's around my age in the brighter light. "Of course I will! I just forgot! Well I guess I should introduce myself first. My name is Gilbert, Gilbert Beilschmidt."

A/N: Hey! I'm back and tired as ever! I hope this chapter was good, I tried my best to get the plot going here, but I'm pretty sure I failed miserably. My friend made me read the first two chapters to her a couple of days ago because she was too lazy to read it herself, so I purposely but on my best acting skills and read it as if I was in pain. She cried. I was happy. I will now give a virtual kiss to all of you reading this, and remember, je t'aime a la lune et retour. (I'll try to fix my computer so it will let me use accents. Au revoir!
