"I walk a lonely road the only one that I have ever known. Don't know where it goes, but it's home to me and I walk alone. I walk this empty street on the Boulevard of Broken Dreams, where the city sleeps and I'm the only one and I walk alone. My shadow's the only one that walks beside me. My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating sometimes I wish someone out there will find me till then I walk alone"

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

'Where am I? Who am I?' I thought.

I opened my eyes but I saw black. I guessed that it must be the middle of the night and that there was no light. I heard voices, they were screaming at each other. I desperately tried to remember who they belonged to but I couldn't remember. I was so tired so I fell back asleep.

When I woke up I tried to open my eyes. But I couldn't see anything. I could hear birds chirping in the distance and I heard someone crying. I knew it was morning now. I still couldn't remember who that voice belonged to. I opened my eyes and I still saw black. It hit me like a bullet…I was blind.

I stood straight up and I heard a gasp in the distance. I tried to stand up and feel my way around. I heard somebody get up and then I felt somebody grab my arm and shoulders. I was scared and I jumped back.

"Who-…Who are you?" I yelled trying to breathe steadily.

"It's me…Yamato. Don't you remember?" said the voice.

"No…I don't…" I cried because I couldn't see. I cried because I couldn't remember anything…

The person who claimed himself as Yamato grabbed my shoulders and shook me.

"You have to remember! Please! Try harder! You made a promise that you would never leave me!"

I…made a promise? I didn't remember any of this. All I knew was that I knew somebody named Yamato and that I was once able to see. I tried to stand up and walk around, only to trip and fall. I buried my face into my hands and cried. Somebody knelt beside me and hugged me and that person cried as well.

"Come on, we have to get you to the hospital…Camilla! Get up!" Yamato shouted.

"Who's Camilla…?" I sniffled.

"You are! You're Camilla Ashiru!"

"Please, don't shout at me…I'm scared, I have no idea who I am or what I was…I don't remember anything anymore…" I practically whispered.

I heard somebody growl menacingly and shout, "I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS TAKERU TAKASHI!"

I didn't know who the crap Takeru Takashi was but I didn't want to know right now…I just wanted my old life back, whatever that was. But I knew I had one. Yamato helped me up walked me somewhere, he sat me down and had me wait. I felt rumbling from beneath me. I heard a jangling of metals. All this time I was silently crying.

The rumbling beneath me stopped and I heard something opening to the right of me. Yamato took my arm and led me toward…wherever. I heard many people going in and out, talking with the utmost urgency in their voices. Then Yamato stopped and talked to somebody. I was put on some sort of metal cart. They made me lie down and they pushed me off somewhere. All this time somebody kept whispering.

"It's going to be okay…She won't leave me…I won't let her…"

Somebody put something sharp and painful into my right arm. It made me sleepy…I couldn't keep awake anymore…

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

I woke up with pain all over my body. I couldn't move. Somebody was holding my hand. I tried to open my eyes. I tried really hard and I eventually could open them. When I opened them, I saw black and white pictures…Wait! I could see again! I couldn't believe it! But, I was colorblind. No color…no life in all the pictures I could see…There were dark spots all over my vision…But I could still see! I looked to the left of me and found the person who was holding my hand. I shook him awake with my arm because I thought I should. He woke up and we looked at each other. Of course, I still didn't know who he was so I just started a casual conversation with him.

"Hi. Who are you?"

"You can see!" He hugged me and whispered in my ear.

"You can see again! I'm so glad!"

I didn't know what to do so I pushed him aside and said, "Okay, I appreciate the concern but who are you?" I blinked for a second and then said, "Who am I?"

"It's me, Yamato. And you're Camilla Ashiru."

I stared at him and tilted my head.

He sighed and shook his head.

"Nevermind. Let's just get you home."

"Where is that?" I wondered aloud.

"You'll see. It's your apartment. I'm just living in it."

He took me into a car and to an apartment building.

"That's where we live?" I said as I pointed to possibly the largest building I have ever seen…well, it was the only building I've seen so far.

"Yep, you'll learn to love it in time, Camilla."

Yamato gave me a quick tour of everything so I could try to remember everything. It didn't work. I just felt so miserable. I didn't know how I came to be this way but I didn't care. I was like this and I wasn't going to get out of it…or was I? I was so alone and I only had my shadow to keep me company.

After all the excitement in the past few days, I just couldn't take it anymore and fell asleep on the couch. Surely everything was a dream and I would return to normal in the morning…or would it?
