One day, I was taking my dog out for a walk when I saw a small child suddenly run onto the road. He couldn't have been a day over three. It was a shame his mother had turned her back for a second and didn't see him leave her side to chase a leaf. Unfortunately, I saw everything - like the car speeding crazily toward him.
"Shit..."
That was the last word that left my mouth before I had died that day. Kind of ironic that it was also the first word my mother had said the day I was born. It was a family joke always told by my father at family gatherings. Though, I never fully understood it until now.
So here I lay in a pool of my own blood, wondering what I had done wrong in my life to have died so young. I saved the kid only to be off-ed myself? Was I being punished for a good deed? Not to be a drag, but tomorrow was my 21st birthday as well.
I guess this is farewell. Such a cliche ending, I initially thought as I closed my eyes to that world...
However, instead of dying on the road side like I should have, I found myself looking into the reflection of a deep blue pond.
Eh, who is Mr. Handsome I can see right now? Such a face worthy of high apprasial. Though, I was too old to even dare think of anything else.
Suddenly, it was like a curtain had been yanked open as a torrent of memories started to pour into my head like molten lava. The pain it produced was even more painful than being hit by a car. A scream tore from my throat with the enslaught of images depicting a young mans life flashed before my eyes. Every thought, every memory, every face he saw was being deeply imprinted inside my head. I wanted to claw it out and throw it away, but it was already too late. It happened within a matter of seconds.
Black hair, black eyes, fair skin - his name is Seven Grace.
Eventually, I lost consciousness and succumbed to darkness. And when I woke up, I found myself tucked neatly into a bed, unable to think of a single word to sum up this situation, or facts to prove I wasn't just insane. But one fact was clear, who I had become was already seeping into the depths of my soul.
