Find Me in the Fading Light

I saw two figures approaching me carefully, like I was a foreign specimen or something. The shade from the trees made them look dark and mysterious. I began to think I was having another nightmare.

But as they walked closer to me, I realized they were living beings.

And Vaughn was one of them.

My eyes grew super huge as I saw Vaughn. He was wearing his same old clothes, but they were tattered and he didn't have a shirt on... or his hat. I have to admit, seeing his shirtless made my face go really red.

"Vaughn?" I whispered through the net.

Vaughn raised an eyebrow and moved closer to me. "Chelsea?" he whispered back. He remembered me!

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

He didn't answer me. Instead, he turned to the other man standing beside him. He began talking in some native language, and the man nodded.

Vaughn pulled out a knife and cut me free of the net. Well this was awkward. You try being cut free from a net by the guy you have a crush on.

Wait... crush? Noooooo... Since when do I have a crush on Vaughn?

Oh, right. When I dreamed of him kissing me.

I climbed out of the net and stood up. "Vaughn, everyone thinks you're either dead or missing," I hissed. "Natalie said you went to the city and never came back."

Vaughn sighed. "I actually got─"

"Fired," I cut him off.

He looked at me. "How did you know?"

"Being in a coma does strange things to you," I muttered.

"You were in a coma?" Vaughn gasped.

"Yes," I said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. "Julia dragged me into that death-trap of a house your mother used to live in and it collapsed on us. I was in a coma for TWO years, Vaughn."

Vaughn looked at the ground.

"I shouldn't be out of the hospital," I told him. "I woke up not even 24 hours ago."

He looked up at me. I stared at those all-too familiar purple eyes.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, motioning to the jungle around us.

"I live here now," Vaughn said simply. "When the house collapsed, I was buried beneath the rubble. Shea," he pointed to the native beside him. "Found me and brought me here. He saved my life."

"I knew you were in that house!" I cried. "I had a dream where I found you beneath the rubble, and then I passed out. I woke up in the hospital and you were there. I had been asleep for a week, and everyone thought Julia had died but she hadn't. Then you told Mirabelle you got fired and she got really mad at you, but she eventually forgave you. Then, you remembered something from your childhood and we ran off to tell Mirabelle. We had supper at her house to celebrate."

I took a deep breath. I had decided not to tell Vaughn about the kissing. Not yet, at least.

"Then, while I was in my chicken coop looking after my chicken, Valerie─"

"You have a chicken?" Vaughn interrupted.

"I did in my dream." I said. "Anyway, while I was in my chicken coop looking after Valerie, you came in and we started talking. Suddenly, a huge blizzard broke out and we were trapped in my coop with my chicken. We hid beneath some hay while the storm raged on outside. It got deathly cold, and eventually some hail broke the glass window. We got covered in snow that seeped through the hay, and then the whole coop collapsed!"

I took another deep breath then continued my story.

"I blacked out, and found myself in a dark room. I was soon being chased by some huge creature, and somehow fell through the floor. I was then in the meadow on a huge flower, and got eaten by a GINORMOUS bunny. Then, I was in my childhood room and got attacked my old stuffed dog, FuFu."

I paused for a minute, debating whether to tell him about the beach and the fire. I finally decided to.

"After, I was on a beach at sunset," I said. "With you." I looked up at Vaughn, who was looking down at me. "We... we... kissed and when I opened my eyes we were at my farm, but it was on fire. You rushed into my house screaming 'Valerie! Valerie!', and Julia hugged me and told me you'd find her. Then, I woke up in the hospital."

I looked back up at Vaughn. He was staring at me with his mysterious purple eyes. Ok, he must have gotten taller because he seemed higher away from me then the last time I saw him in real life.

"Vaughn, you need to go back," I told him. "Everyone's worried sick about you."

"I can't just leave, Chelsea," Vaughn said, looking far away. "I have a new life here."

"But you have an old back there!" I pointed to East Town. "No one knows where you are! They all think you're DEAD!"

Tears began welling in my eyes. Vaughn looked down at me again, his face empty.

"What happened to you?" I whispered.

"I almost died," Vaughn snapped. "That's what happened. And no one even cared."

He began walking away from me. "It's because they thought you were in the city because YOU lied and told them you were! It's your own fault this is happening!" I screamed after him.

He didn't even stop or look back. I watched him go, standing with the net entangled at my feet. The native, Shea, looked at me then at Vaughn, and ran off after him.

I sat down on the torn net, and watched as Vaughn and Shea walked into a small hut and slammed the door.

I sat there, not moving or saying a thing.

After a few minutes past, I screamed at the hut where Vaughn had disappeared to.

"I love you, Vaughn Anderson!" I screamed. "No matter what, I'll always love you!"

Me: AWESOMEEEEE! XD Oh, uh... *ahem* Welcome to Ruins Talk Show! Today, our guest is Shea!

Shea: ... Hello ...
