You Will Remember My Name.

Somehow, me and Laurie had fallen asleep, cuddling each other. I knew this because when I woke up, it was pitch-black.

Realising me and Laurie had fallen asleep, I fumbled around for my phone. The cracked glass screen dug into my fingers, but I managed to turn my phone on and read the time.

12:01.

My eyes widened at the time.

Why had I woken up at midnight? I thought. It was puzzling; I was usually a very deep sleeper. It took a lot to wake me up, and the job of waking me up was usually given to my alarm clock. But it hadn't gone off. So why-

I was suddenly brought out of my thoughts when I felt Laurie roll over on her side towards me. Her arm gently draped over me, and with the faint glow of my phone screen, I could see that strands of her short hair had covered her face. Her eyes, although closed, were fluttering as she dreamed, and a serene smile was on her face. I couldn't help myself as I tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and her smile widened slightly, her grip tightening a bit.

"Amber…" she murmured sleepily.

Thinking that she was awake, I gently pulled away from her one-armed embrace and climbed off my bed, causing Laurie to let out a soft moan of protest. However, she rolled over again, and dozed off back to Dream-Land. I was amazed at her ability to go back to sleep.

Me, I couldn't.

Usually, I went to sleep straight away, but this night I couldn't. I don't know why, but this melody, of that song I had been hearing since I had first met Laurie was playing in my head, begging me to play it's melody and sing it's lyrics. And, I felt I could comply wit that.

Stumbling through the dark, my eyesight began to adjust and I soon saw the shape of my guitar. Gently pulling it out of it's case,

I made my way to the window seat and sat down, holding my guitar carefully, softly strumming the strings.

Playing music would always calm me down, and maybe, tonight, playing music would help lull me back to sleep. Sure, it wouldn't be comfortable, falling to sleep on my window seat, but it was better than playing on the hard floor.

Softly clearing my throat, I began to sing, the words coming out as if I had sung them my entire life, my fingers instinctively knowing which chords to play for this song.

"Yeah, yeah! Ooo-ooo-oooh!

"It was, it was September,

Winds blow, the dead leaves fall.

To you, I did surrender,

Two weeks, you didn't call.

Your life goes on without me,

My life, a losing game.

But you should, you should not doubt me!

You will remember my name.

"Oh Ember,

You will remember!

Ember, one thing remains!

Ember, so warm and tender!

You will remember my name."

I stopped playing. My fingers itched to continue, as if they knew they should keep on playing, but I could find no other words to sing. It was as if this mysterious song just… stopped.

Suddenly, I heard clapping, and I looked up to see that Laurie was awake and was clapping, a smile on her face.

"That was amazing, Amber," she complimented.

I suddenly grew shy and rubbed her neck, mumbling, "It was nothing."

Laurie rolled her eyes and got off my bed and moved to sit next to me.

"Amber, that was really good. The way you played and sang… man, it felt like you were demanding me to remember your name. And yet, it was also hauntingly sad. It was an amazing song."

I smiled at the compliments. "Thanks Laure."

"Don't mention it."

We sat in comfortable silence for several seconds before Laurie asked, "So… where did you find that song?"

"Actually… it came into my head a couple months ago. I was confused by the lyrics, and what they mean, but now that I've played it, I feel like it's an omen."

"An omen?"

"Yeah."

"If it's an omen, then what's it about?"

"I… feel like, if it's an omen, it's about something terrible is going to happen to me, that'll cause you to remember my name."

Laurie frowned. "That does sound troubling. But Amber, you have nothing to worry about. It's just a song. Songs, even though they may have meaning, are just songs."

There was a spell of silence for several seconds and Laurie added, "And also, if it is an omen, of something that might happen to you that's so terrible it requires me to remember your name, I will. Always."

I smiled and hugged her. "Thanks Laurie. You're such a great friend."

"Don't mention it."

As we hugged, I looked out my window, where trails of frost crept on the glass, and saw the bare trees outside, their branches stretched out to the sky, as if begging forgiveness. A bitter December wind suddenly shook them, and I felt a shiver go down my spine.

You will remember my name.

Omen or not, I had a feeling that something bad was going to happen to me… and I had no idea what it was.

We know what's gonna happen in a few short chapters, don't we?

REPLIES TO MY AWESOME REVIEWERS:

GirlFish: That's true, in both ways.

Hmm… maybe… can't say for certain, though.

Well, you will have to see for that.

That's true. That's very, very true. But don't forget about Valerie Grey-AKA the Red Huntress.

EleahBlue: It's exactly where you think it's going. I'L ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU TOO, EMBER!

Aurora Marie Williams: Thanks.

Chaosmaster209: Thank you.

Next chapter will come out soon. But, slowly but surely, we are heading closer and closer to the chapter of Amber's destined death! Hold on; it gets more dramatic and more feels-packed from here.
