(Chapter 2: What Is Your Name?)

PG-13

     *Don't try so hard to break free

It will still end in tragedy

So close your eyes and let the tears fall

It's the end of truth; you've lost it all*

"Who is saying that?!" She screamed into the darkness.

The stranger appeared, "I've been waiting for you."

She replied, "I've been here the whole time."

The stranger seemed to smirk, "I have come to warn you of the danger, and that is why I am here."

She asked worriedly, "What danger?"

"The danger that wants you dead." The stranger's voice lost its friendly tone.

"What wants me dead?" She asked with awkward anticipation.

The stranger finally remarked, "One of my ex-wives. Her name is Cesaryan."

Her eyes widened, "She's already came to me!"

The stranger wasn't surprised, "I know, but I need you to be willing to learn about your gift."

Her eyes widened even more, "My gift?...I am ready to learn! Oh, please tell me!"

"Okay." The stranger drew in a deep breath. "It all started in another life in the Silver Millennium. There was a girl that belonged to Serenity-hime's court. She was curious, but very smart, and always liked to learn new things. So, one day she wandered beyond the boundary of her planet and met up with a woman on the verge of death. The woman asked the girl as a last request to take her gift, and pass it on when the time was right. The young girl accepted the woman's request, and received her gift. I was sent to find that girl and protect her."

She was amazed, "So I'm that girl? And what is the gift?"
The stranger explained," Yes you are that girl, and the gift is to see what is yet to come."

Her face stiffened, "I never thought I would be the one that had a gift like that."

The stranger seemed to smile, "Trust me; your past and present are two completely different things. Demo, you have a few other things about you, you haven't learned yet. Like your power of telekinesis."

*Though you may realize everything

You still always will amount to nothing

Floating in time; your last hour

Knowing you've lost it; your inner power.*

"Who keeps saying all those things?!" She screamed impatiently.

The stranger looked solemn, and then retorted, "Me. I am the one saying those things."

"Demo why?" She wondered.

The stranger could only answer." Listen to the words."

*Whisper silently in your ear

Talk of death that's very near

This place is death; nothing's in bloom

I'd hate to die in this silent tomb

Follow the footsteps on the ground

Listen to death; what a lovely sound

So watch your step and take a deep breath

Before it's gone and nothing's left

Tied to chains made of screams

Nothing's in control; you're not your dreams

Destiny and Fate go hand-in-hand

But it's always sorrow that rules the land

Twisted and warped; a child still young

In hell the torture; they cut your tongue

What have you done; that's such a sin

To make the blood live on your skin

Don't try so hard to break free

It will still end in tragedy

So close your eyes and let the tears fall

It's the end of truth; you've lost it all

Though you may realize everything

You still always will amount to nothing

Floating in time; your last hour

You know you've lost it; your inner power*

"Is that the end of it?" She asked still a little confused.

"No, I don't think it ever will end." The stranger said, buried deep in thought.

"But you're the one saying it, so you must know." She started to argue.

"No, not even I know of the ending to something. That's your gift, not mine." The stranger's voice started to tremble.

She questioned then," What is your gift?"

The stranger seemed shocked by the question."...You..."

     She was about to reply when an explosion invaded the calm surroundings. They were both blasted back, and thrown to the ground. The stranger wrapped his arms around her, protecting her. They both looked at each other for a while, and then he helped her to her feet.

     'His eyes... Where have I seen them before?' It was the first time she had seen them, demo she couldn't see the color. It was as if her dream were in black and white.

     He wrapped his arms around her again. And then he moved closer. He caught her in a kiss that she wanted to last forever, demo it had ended too soon, just like everything else.

She asked, still clung to the kiss, "Why did you do that?"

The stranger murmured, and then said, "Because in all the years that I have watched over you in dreams and reality, I have fallen in love with you."

"In reality?" She questioned.

"You will see me soon, I promise."

     The end of the dream came too soon, and it was almost noon. 'Saturday'. Demo she just wanted to go back to sleep, demo her eyes wouldn't allow it. She smelled her mother baking, and it seemed to call to her, although she was pulled into a vision.

~*~*~*~*~*~*

     Her mother was baking fresh, warm chocolate chip cookies. She went downstairs, smiled at her mom, and then sat at the table.

"I see you're up early." Her mother laughed.

"Of course! Like I would miss out on your chocolate chip cookies!!" She smiled back.

     As suddenly as the vision had begun, a car on the street spun out of control, then came through her kitchen wall, and hit her mother....

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!" She screamed.

     She ran over to her mother, who was covered in shattered glass, and wood from the walls.. Her mother, died in her arms.

"Nooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

*What can you do now that the truth's out

Are you still looking ahead or full of doubt

You can't ride on a lie anymore

So don't take another step, or open the next door.*

     Another part to the poem-puzzle. She shook her head, and then she recognized the scent that eluded her nose... Chocolate chip cookies! She ran downstairs, only to see what she feared.. It had already happened.

"Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!" She cried in agony.

*You will lose everything close to you

It's all reflecting on what you do

So take heed of what I say

Everything comes back to you in some way.*

     Her father had taken her mom to the hospital, because she couldn't bear to go. Now, she could only be carried back into the endless dream world.

"I am so sorry." The stranger said sorrowfully.

She then replied, "I know, demo is she going to live? Please tell me!"

The stranger shook his head, "That's not my gift it's yours.."

She said." By the way, I never knew your name.  What is your name?"

Mwahahahahahahaha!! I bet you're still wondering who the stranger and the girl are!  Well fear not, you'll find out soon enough, that is, unless aliens crash land on Earth, and steal me away for their entertainment... "One by one, the penguins steal my sanity." O_0, creepy!! Oh well, til next chapter, plz R&R!
