Disclaimer: Nope, still not a big TV producer in charge of EVERY WB
television show on the air, so nope, I don't own Everwood. I only own
Karin, Todd, John, Delilah, Lucy, Rachel, and the other people I thought up
in the previous chapters, which some may come back, I don't now, but some
may not.
Author's note: This is going to be a short chapter, and tomorrow, I will be updating again with chapter 11. I was on a writing spree last night and had some ideas for it, so there is an effective story line on this, and re- read the summary of this story since I redid it. Hope you enjoy this! It's all a dream sequence, mind you, although you might have figured that out anyway.
Chapter 10
POV-KARIN
I looked around me and saw ambulances and a police car. People walked by me, or literally right through me. I looked around and saw a familiar shadowy figure fleeing from the scene. I felt a sharp pain in my wrist and look down at where the pain was coming from. My wrist was cut deeply, but I didn't care...too much. I sighed and tore part of my shirt sleeve off and applied a tourniquet about my wrist to stop the bleeding. I watched as it turned a crimson color from the blood but ignored it. I looked up and saw the figure running away still.
I ran after the shadowy figure, know what it was. I followed it down an alley way for a few blocks passing up graffiti on walls signifying gang member signs and old posters for movies when this was a safe neighborhood. I watched from behind as the figure sped into a doorway quickly, knowing I was on its heels. As I turned the bend in to the building, I stopped suddenly. My jaw dropped slightly as I tried to remember where I was. The building looked strangely familiar to me, like I had been there before. I tried to remember, but I couldn't. It felt like water in a cup about to overflow, but waiting for the last drop to come and break the surface. I swallowed hard as I remembered where I was finally.
"The Cathedral." I whispered to myself. My voice reverberated in the church, sounding like a gigantic crash, but I knew no one else would hear me.
I looked around and looked through the remains of the old Catholic church. A stained glass window lay broken on the floor in front of me. I stooped down and looked at the remains of the picture of Mary holding baby Jesus in her arms. I wanted to pick up the glass and tried, but I couldn't. My hand just swept threw it like I was grabbing at air. I sighed loudly and heard it echo throughout the church.
I stiffened suddenly when I heard two voices, both way too familiar for me. I stood up and walked towards a door slowly. I peeked around the frame and froze when I saw two people. My jaw nearly touched the floor as I saw who they were. It was Ephram and..me.
Suddenly, I remembered the shadowy figure was still here somewhere. The knowledge of the thought of what would happen next here skittered across my mind like a leaf being blown around in the wind. I shuddered at the importance of the next few moments in the church. I knew what would happen and loathed the fact that I did. I wished that I didn't, but I knew I couldn't help it either with me being who I was exactly. I sighed as I saw the figure walking quietly behind Ephram and the other me. I watched the slow movements of this new dream and knew what would happen next. That drop of water had fallen and broken the top film and all of the knowledge of this world had broken loose into my brain. I wished I wasn't here to see this all happening.
I had to change this, but how?

Okay. Sorry, everyone, this is so freaking short, but it holds a lot of information in it. It goes along with my story line for it. Yes, I have a story line and I'm not just making things up. But please, bear with me on this cliffhanger until tomorrow when I update again hopefully. But anyhoo..I had better get working, eh? Please, r/r. I ttyl!
