Date: Sun, 14 Dec 2008 17:40:08 -0500 From: Garrett Oswalt Subject: Deliria (Prologue) "Deliria" Prologue "My name is Jon Wellington, I am Fifteen years old, and this is the story about how my life changed and everything I knew about the world did as well." My alarm clock went off a 5:00 a.m, I got up and got dressed in some dark jeans and a black, tight shirt that hung down to my knees just about. I stumbled downstairs to find no one home, my brother, which was who i lived with, had already trailed off to work. I then headed to the kitchen and dug around for something to eat, after a few minutes of digging in the cabinet i found a pop-tart and went and sprawled out on the couch. Soon I was finished with my breakfast so I headed off to school. As I was walking Carly had spotted me, although I had been trying not to be seen. She just stared at me and smiled with her bright red hair, which was to color of a shiny red apple. "Where you trying to hide from me again, silly." she teased. "No!", I firmly snapped at her. "I bet you were too, gosh Jon your so cute when your angry." she said. I grimaced at her words, she was always so flirty so brillant at the same time. I knew that she was trying to get me to tell her what I had told her I was keeping from her. I had a big secret that I had been keeping from everyone lately, I had never told anyone before what happened to me one week ago until today. I just stared at Carly for a minute, I looked deeply into her pale blue eyes which were burning with they fury to know what was going on with me. I could tell how bad it was bothering her, how it was eating ther up on the inside. So then I just blurted it out "I was attacked!" "What the hell Jon, why didn't you tell anyone? Did you get raped? Hurt? Drugged?" she asked I replied, "No I didn't get hurt much, but the guy bit me. Carly I had never felt anyone so cold his teeth were like sharp ice, his skin was pale and freezing. They guy looked dead. "Did you get AIDS or anything from him biting you? she asked "No, but something else happened. When he tried to bite my hand I couldn't push him off, he was very strong. Then when he dug those icy cold teeth into my skin I yelled and then tripped. When that happened I had thought my hand was ripped off. She started freaking out she was worried about me I could tell by the way her eyes were so fierce looking. "So what happened after that?" She asked "He ran off i said, and then after that I laid on the ground. I felt like I was going into seizure or something my whole body started trembling, and the pain surged through my body. The pain was so excruciating. Then about an hour after that a cop car came strolling by and picked me up. I was so weak i was barely crawling when they found me. Then the next day, I felt so strong and good, I felt like a new person like I had been born again." I explained "So what happened to you really Jon, I mean what's going on you seem so much more well....." she trailed off. "So what?" I asked "like you are you look like a god or something Jon, your presence seems like a spirit from heaven is here and encircling me."she said. My face fell like it had melted off of my face. I knew how much Carly like me but she knew I was into guys and she knew better than to go that far. "Carly!" I yelled "I'm so sorry, I just it's true I never have felt like this about you Jon." she pleaded "It's ok, I just you know I dont date anyone that much no one likes me really. I'm more an ugly loner than anything and It feels weird to have someone like me so much all of a sudden when normally everyone hates me." I said "Well maybe since its the first day of school and all things will change Jon." she said "Maybe, Carly, and maybe santa clause will drop out of the sky and come be my boyfriend." I teased. "Oh just shut your smart mouth you little hottie." she teased back. About half the way to school I pulled out a can of soda and started to swallow it down. The rest of the way Carly just listened to her ipod as loud as she could even tripping a couple of times from getting lost in the music. We finnally arrived at our school, walking up the path to the stairs, alot of people stopped what they were doing. That's when I realized that everyone who was in sight was staring straight at me. I dropped the can of soda and mutter two words "Holy shit."
