The Great Sacred Bird

A/N: Just wanted to say thanks to all of my reviewers. Also, I need your opinion on the following, should Ellen be standoffish towards Tam or loving? Anyway, on with the story!

Chapter Two: The Movie in My Mind

~~~

A world with no more pain

Where life is not unkind

The movie in my mind

~~~

Tam woke up sweating. He had the dream again, about her. Who she was, he didn't know, but every time he dreamt about her, it would get clearer. He hoped next time, he could actually see her face, and the man's face that was holding her. The man, he seemed so sad, everyone there seemed so sad.

"Please don't die" the man had begged, why was she dying? Tam wondered what Kim had done to make someone shoot her. Who was the man? What about the child? The son that Kim had spoken of had lost his mother but gained his father in a split second. Why hadn't the man come sooner? Couldn't he have prevented it?

Tam shook his head, clearing his thoughts. What did he care about this girl and man? These were only his dreams, not reality. He concluded that reality was never that cruel, that somewhere, there was a happy ending to everything.

Reality was the fact that it was 6:30 and if he didn't get up now, he would be late for school.

A/N: Yes, Tam is being naive, but he truly hasn't been exposed to the terrors of the world, he will though. I know this is short, but it will get longer. Please REVIEW and send me your input!
