I don't really care; you're old enough to know what not to read and what to read. Any references similar to any other story or person is entirely coincidental. Author's note: Here's the second chapter of my story, it's quite longer than the first chapter, but that's expected. The Special One Chapter 2: The Healing of Love I felt the freshly cut grass poking on my bare and covered skin as I felt my consciousness return to me. My eyes were heavy and I couldn't open them. I could feel the sun's rays on my back along with a cool wind. Then I heard someone. Someone, a boy, singing a song, and he was singing way off-key though. "You're doing fine most of the time You sit and wonder what tomorrow brings All kinds of things You sit and wait you hesitate Just like you never been in love before There's so much more On your own And though you feel alone You are alive Don't you know it's just another day All alone Into this world we're thrown You are alive Don't you know it's just another day On your own And though you feel alone You are alive Don't you know it's just another day You turn around you're lost and found Looking for someone who will understand Or hold your hand You count the days a hopeless case And for the first time you will wait for me Patiently On your own And though you feel alone You are alive Don't you know it's just another day All alone Into this world we're thrown You are alive Don't you know it's just another day On your own And though you feel alone You are alive Don't you know it's just another day All alone Into this world we're thrown You are alive Don't you know it's just another day On your own And though you feel alone You are alive Don't you know it's just another day..." You are Alive-Fragma I thought it was a really lovely song, even though his voice needed a little work. I found the strength to finally open my eyes and I started to observe my surroundings. I first noticed that the grass is neatly and evenly cut all over the lot. I leaned up on one arm and looked at the house that occupied the lot. It seemed big enough to be a 2-story house, but since there's only one row of windows, it obviously had only one floor. The exterior made it look bigger. The house had 2 peaks, one at each end. The one nearest to me that I could see is half painted. Half was orange, a really bad bright orange, and the other is brown. Then I looked at him, he is gorgeous with his brown hair at about 2 inches long, his stature seems around 5'10", but to be honest it is hard to tell when he's on a ladder. He wasn't wearing a shirt, so his muscularity showed, such as good abs, nice chest and pecs. He also had some sort of frames covering his face. He's also wearing shorts so I could see his define legs too. There was a wire going up his back towards his ears. Then he started to sing again... "oh oh, ei yeah... oh whoa, ei yeah... Everybody knows that you ou ou You mean the world to me Everybody knows, But you Everybody knows that you ou ou Captured my fantasy Everybody knows It's true (it's true, it's true, it's true, it's true, it's true) Now and forever Everybody knows that you ou ou You mean the world to me Everybody knows, But you Everybody knows that you ou ou Captured my fantasy Everybody knows It's true now and forever" Everybody knows ^Ö Fragma I got to my feet, though my legs were wobbly, it's almost as though I haven't been standing in years. The boy resumed his singing as I walked towards the ladder. "Everybody knows that you ou ou You mean the world to me Everybody knows, But you Everybody knows that you ou ou Captured my fantasy Everybody knows It's true now and forever" I noticed, as I walked closer to the ladder, that the boy was holding a brush that was paint covered in brown paint and he's brushing it against the wall. I decided to interrupt him so that I could ask him some questions. "HELLO?!" I called out, startling him. He jumped then suddenly fell off the ladder, falling 10' to the ground, hitting his head on a rock. He lied there motionless with trickles off blood covering the rock. I was in panic as I ran to this gorgeous boy's side. "Fuck. Why does everything bad happen to people around me?!" Then I could feel something. I could feel something that resembles the ebb and flow of waves, yet there's not a drop of water around me. Suddenly something inside me told me to put my hand on his head and I yelled, "Healing!" The area surrounding the body changed to a green, and bubbles circled his body and returned to the sky. The boy suddenly stopped bleeding and opened his eyes. "Am I in heaven?" "No you're alive -" I answered him. "Oh, because looking at you made me think I was..."The boy said. I just neglected his words and continued my own. "I'm so glad you're still alive, if I lost anyone else I wouldn't know what to do." I said quite loudly and sobbingly "Well you need not worry about me, I'm ok now, but why is everything blurry?" He tried to calm me down, then took off the frames covering his eyes, and looked at me weirdly. "That's odd, your eyes, they're changing color. They're purple right now." "Really? My natural eye color is red, my mom said that my eye color makes me different from other people and makes me special." I answered. "So, what's your name?" "I'm Scott, nice to meet your acquaintance, and you are?" He said politely. "I'm Keellen, nice to meet you too." I introduced. "So where do you come from?" He asked curiously. "I don't really know, I just woke up here," I told him truthfully, there was something about him. It was almost like we were meant to have our paths crossed. "I know that my mother and sister got raped and killed, and I saw my brother decapitated body," I noticed that he squinted in pain during my explanation, "Then I got grabbed and held down. I was suppose to get my head chopped off but didn't." I started to cry at the nostalgic thoughts that were going through my head. "And I ended up waking up here. It seems like all of this happened yesterday." "Hmm... Who'd want to chop off your head, you look so much better with it than without." He said with a lustful look in his eye. "How old are you?" "Before I woke up, I was 12 but I don't know now." I said "12?! You look like you're 17, like me. Can you tell me what year you were born and what year it is now?" I swear these questions are completely useless. But I decided to answer them. "I was born in 1494 and it's year 1506." As I said this he looked completely stupefied, he remained there silent for a long time. "Well, am I right?" "Actually, to be honest I was born in 1989 and this is year 2006. Though I think this could be a little farfetched, there are 2 options: you are either telling the truth and you "traveled" through and during that 500 year travel your body aged 1% of the travel, so 5 years or you're crazy. I honestly don't know which one to choose. But if this happens to be a time shift, I'd be happy to get you acquainted with everything new that you're not used to." He stated, I gave him a blank look. "How could I have missed 500 years? I don't understand, but I'll just leave it in my mind and let it sink in.-" I said to myself. "Anyway whose blood is that?" He pointed to the rock that just a few minutes earlier, pierced his head. "Um, you fell off the ladder and hit your head on the rock pretty hard" I said. "Then how am I alive, and why do I have 20/20 vision? I never had this clear vision." He asked and stated. "My guess is that I healed you, I don't really know how or why, but something inside me made me do it." I said, a little confused myself. "You healed me? That's amazing, that could only mean that you're not just an ordinary human being, I think I just decided that you aren't crazy." He said, "Hey Keellen, I was wondering, do you like me?" "I... I... I think you're very good looking" I admitted and looked shyly away. "I think you are gorgeous." He said to me while looking in my eyes and as he pulled himself closer to me. "I don't know, but I think you coming to this time is not coincidental, like maybe it was meant to be." "Me too." I replied. Before I could say anything else, he pulled me in closer and applied his lips to mine. I was in pure bliss, I lost myself within the kiss fell deeper and deeper for him. It felt so right. I just wanted to stay in his arms forever ******************************************************************************* More notes: Keellen is now in first person mode for the rest of the chapters for the ppl who wanted to know... he did now 2 things that make him special...
