AN: Okay people, it goes like this. I noticed exactly how awful this was too. I'm re-doing it. I hope that it's just a little better. Anyway, yeah. This is the original story, with a lot added in, and a lot better, hopefully! Yay with the re-doness. I hope that you enjoy it! Please review and tell me how I did!
One More Day:
Part 1:
Julian opened his eyes to lights. The fact that he had opened his eyes at all was a miracle to him. The fact that an iridescent light nearly blinded him was something else completely. It was something that he had never expected to witness again.
He heard his own elemental voice call out, "What's going on here." Completely rhetorical, and meant solely to have been spoken to himself. Shockingly, he got an answer.
"You're in heaven." The voice that answered was deep and resonating, and he could scarcely believe what he had heard. Heaven? No… that couldn't be possible. He must have heard wrong.
"What?" Suddenly the insubordinate tone in his voice bothered him. He had never cared about what he sounded like before… what was the difference now? He did, however, quickly change his wording.
"Why?"
Again, that deep voice answered. "Because, it did not end right." The voice reverberated through him, full of command and dignity. He couldn't believe this, he truly couldn't.
"What didn't end right?" An extremely puzzled tone lilted his voice.
"You're life." The answer came as if any fool should have known it. Julian himself was left nearly speechless.
"M-my life?" For the first time since his 'birth', Julian stuttered.
"Yes Julian, your life." The voice paused, but continued before Julian could ask any more questions. "Jenny is your soulmate Julian, you two were meant to be together. She is your other half, and you are hers."
This time Julian could complete the sentence before the voice. "We make each other whole." He seemed to feel an overwhelming sense of satisfaction radiating down from the voice, so he continued on. "I knew that. I knew that from the first time I saw her, bathed in light… but she never realized… not until the end." He said this more to himself then anyone.
"One week." This sudden statement pulled Julian from his musing thoughts.
"What?"
"One week. One week to go back and try it again. You did not approach the situation correctly. Think on everything that you learned the last time Julian. You could do this so much better."
A thought flashed through Julian's head. A simple phrase that Jenny had mentioned to him more than once; 'Did it ever occur to you that you could just appear at my front door, no games, no threats, and just ask me?' Until then, Julian had never really given it a second thought.
"Yes Julian," He knew that the voice had heard his thoughts. "You have one week to make her feel the same away about you that you feel about her… if you cannot then I will be forced to make your fate remain the same as before. Be warned: I give second chances very rarely. Do not take this opportunity lightly." It seemed to pause, as if collecting its thoughts. "Oh, and by the way. Do not tell her about yourself or she will remember everything."
With that Julian's world faded to black.
An shrieking sound pierced Julian's awareness. He woke with a start, realizing that it was an alarm clock. The second thing that he realized was that he was tangled in a black silk sheet. He looked at the clock, and it suddenly exploded…. His powers weren't gone.
He suddenly remembered everything: The voice, the limit… Jenny. Second chances.
His cobalt eyes flashed around the room, taking in his surroundings; his eyes flickered to a calendar. There was one date circled in heavy red pen… one week from today…
Today was 'The Day'. It was the day when everything had started, the day when he had taken Jenny and her friends into the game… He had exactly one week until he had to go back and he planned to do things right this time. Jenny would be his.
Suddenly, dawning horror invaded his thoughts. If today was 'The Day'… He knew what was happening to Jenny right now. Slug and PC… he wasn't there to stop it. He had to go!
He disappeared from the room without another thought.
AN: Yes, well, I'm not going to do an authors note for every single chapter!
