It was a cold, stormy night when he awoke. BOOM BOOM The thunder stroke while the lightening flashed a bright white so that the room filled with light. He sat up immediately in a cold sweat to the sound of the thunder. He looked around the room to see if anything had changed in his slumber. "Was that really......me?" he thought as he got out of bed and went to the window. He looked out the window and sat in the window seat. The lightening flashed once more and the thunder roared. He just sat there and watched the rain fall to the ground.

"Man, that was one weird dream. It felt as though I was really there." He said as he looked down at his hand. Then he looked down at the number written on his wrist. Then he looked back out the window and tried to remember his dream.

Dream

(Ok.....he's really gonna be OOC so.....sorry) It was on the streets at night in a big city. There was a little boy about five or six wondering the streets all alone. "Hello? Is anyone still here?" the boy cried as he looked all around and in houses in search of any sign of life. Then this bright light shone into the boy's eyes. He turned away cause of its brightness. Then the boy got to see a glimpse of the light and saw that it was held by a person. Before the boy knew what was happening, the person started to reach out for him. The boy suddenly turned and ran. But before he could run, he was shot. The boy died instantly. Just before he woke up (the original boy), he saw who the person was. He saw that it......was himself. end of dream

The boy just looked out the window and thought about his dream until there was a knock at the door. KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK Then the boy turned around and said, "Come in." the boy said as he looked toward the door. Then a young lady walked through the door. She was wearing a long, silk purple night gown with a see through pink robe. "What are you doing up so late? Can you not sleep either?" the young lady asked. Then the boy just shook his head and said, "I had a bad dream and I couldn't get to sleep." "Well, try not to stay awake all night. Don't forget, you have school in the morning." the young lady said as she came up to the boy and kissed him lightly on the forehead. "Oh. Alright mom." the boy said as he crawled back into bed. Then his mom gave a quick little smile and walked out the door, closing it behind her. Then the boy drifted into a deep slumber.

The next morning, his alarm clock rang. The boy got up and looked at the alarm clock. It read 7:15am. Then the boy quickly jumped out of bed and threw on some cloths. Then he ran into the kitchen, grabbed a piece of toast, grabbed his things, and ran out the door. But before he left, his mom said, "Have a good day at school, Zero!!!" "Thanx mom!!!" Zero yelled as he ran down the street and up to the school. Just as the tardy bell rang, Zero ran through the door. "Well, looks like you've made yourself to school just in the nick of time yet again, Mister Zero Enna." the teacher said as Zero took his seat at the window. "Well then! Let's get started, shall we?" the teacher said as he turned to the blackboard and started writing.

Just then, a young girl walked though the door. She was wearing a black hoodie that had a red dragon on the front, a black hat that also had a red dragon on it, baggy black jeans, black hiking boots, and black fingerless gloves. She also had long black flowing hair that reached about mid-calf. She walked up to the teacher and started talking quietly to him. As they talked, Zero leaned over and whispered something to the person next to him. "Hey, is that girl goth or something?" Zero was what he said. Then the girl gave Zero a quick yet deadly glare that sent shivers down Zero's back. Then the teacher turned to the class and said, "This is our new student, Neko. Neko you may take a seat in front of Zero. Zero, raise your hand so that she may take the seat in front of you." the teacher said. Then Zero took a big gulp and slowly raised his hand. Then Neko made her way to the seat in front of him. And for the rest of the day, he got tense every time he saw Neko.

The final bell rang and everyone rushed out of class rooms and hurried out the front door. Neko went to her locker and grabbed her weekend homework. Then she slammed her locker, grabbing her backpack and duffle bag, and walked out the back of the school. As she walked down the street, Zero walked up beside her. "So.....are you new in town?" Zero asked as he looked up at her. "......yeah......I am." Neko said as she just looked down at the ground. "Well then, maybe sometime I could show you around." Zero said as he looked down and turned a light shade of red. Neko then looked up with a look of surprise on her face and looked over at Zero. She saw that he had a little shade of red across his face. Then she smiled a little and said, "Umm, sure....I guess."

After the two talked a little, they came to a fork in the road. "Well, here's where we split up." Neko said as she looked down both roads. One of them led to a little village and the other into the forest. "Well, I guess I'll see you Monday. Bye" Neko said as she walked own the road that leads down into the forest. "Um ok." Zero said as he walked down the other road.

As Neko walked, she noticed that the road led to a dead end. "Well the house isn't here, so do I keep going? Or do I just make a house myself?" Neko thought as she looked around. There wasn't any houses around, so she couldn't ask anyone about the house that was supposed to be there. So she just decided to sit down and think for a bit. Then she looked back down at the piece of paper and notice the address. "Oh!!! I went the wrong way. Oops. Stupid me." Neko said as she got up and walked the other way.
