The Switch

Sarah: The Switch

Sarah-the Switch

A strange memory dawned on me as he began the song. As my energy drained, I was taken back to the dream of when I was a child.

The very same dream I had in the car while escaping from Christ Orphanage, just after I had found out that Kenny and Luke were Sirens.

I remember wishing Luke didn't kill Kenny later on, and slipped into the dream.

My strength sucked out of me, the song, especially in his voice, hypnotized me. It made me feel light-headed...out of myself.

Was that what death felt like? Or did it only feel so when the Death song was sung?

I realized that another reason for being so up high was mostly so nobody else heard the song.

My conscience slipped away. I felt heavy and yet empty.

The last thing I heard was Kenny's voice, telling me:

"Come back to me, my nightingale"

And the last thing I felt were his lips on my eyelids, as he completed the song and everything was black.

A bright light, the same dream, with the holes filled in. Memories of my real parents were returning to me. Dad's name was Nova, and mom's Vanessa. Our last name wasn't Nightingale...it was something with an 'A'.

Somehow, Kenny too was there after I cried to my father. He kissed my cheek and told me we would meet again.

Somewhere, in the distance, I heard a new song. I heard Kenny's voice.

His lips touched mine, and he continued the song.

I felt a hand on my back, and memories of my life flooded in.

When I opened my eyes, Kenny spoke again

"Do you recall everything now?"

I nodded, overjoyed. That is when I spotted a man, on the terrace, just above the beam on which we stood, his tussled hair thrashing in the wind, and the nozzle of his long gun, Vorare, aimed at Kenny's head.

"Die" he gritted his teeth and shot out a bullet.
