It was a cloudless sky, the moon shined bright above. Stars were able to be seen in the night sky. There were some creatures able to be seen in the night sky.

In an opened part of a forest a lite windblown through a seven year old girls hair. The girl had long black hair and a black dress on. She had been walking alone. It was something she had done many times before over the past years. There might have been monsters out but they knew to leave her alone.

Deep in the forest came a howling and a woman screamed in fright. The girl looked towards where the scream had came from and just smiled. She did not stop walking for a second but acted like it was normal. Because it was. There would be screams in the forest many times a night. Not just from women but men or creatures.

At some time or walking, the girl came upon an old two story house. There were lights on in the house. She walked to the side of the house to a door and opened it. Inside were two women sitting at a kitchen table. One woman had long black hair that went straight up. Something the girl wanted her hair to be able to do the same but she was unable to get it to stay up. The woman was in her late twenties with a tight black dress on.

The woman looked at the girl in wonder and said, "Hi Vam. You are home early."

Normally Vam would stay out very late or about the whole night.

"Hi, mom. Jenny could not stay out very late today. So, I decided to come back home. Hi, Aunt Kim," and she closed the door.

Aunt Kim was a woman in her early thirties. She had a red jumpsuit on. Her red hair was flowing down to her shoulders.

"Hi, Vam," replied Aunt Kim.

"How come?" asked Vam's mother.

"Her parents wanted to start her training."

"How old is Jenny?"

"She is eight."

"Why? Her teeth could not have come in yet."

Aunt Kim jumped in, "Candy, now a day's parents are training their kids sooner."

"Eight still seems too early. She won't get her teeth for another five years."

"I know. But with what happened in York, people are scared."

"I understand that."

At that moment a man in his late twenties danced into the room. He had a dress suit on that was dark blue. He also had a cape on. His arm had a black cape laying on it. He walked up to Candy with his arm out with the cape laying on it.

With a smile he said, "I got your cape my lady. My love." He looked at Vam for a moment. "You are home early, Vam. Did you want to join us?"

"Vam is too young to come with us," replied Candy. "She still has many years to be a child, Rick James Lee."

At that moment a beeping sound started. It was loud but only one person seemed to hear it. That was Vam. She looked at her parents and Aunt Kim. They all just kept on talking like there was on beeping sound at all. She started to try and see where the sound was coming from.

Then a voice out of nowhere said, "It's already three a.m. Time to get up Melissa."

As Melissa opened her eyes, she looked over at her husband. He had short brown hair. His t-shirt was in his hands. She was able to see his six-pack chest. He had women wanting him but Melissa was the one that got him.

He looked over at Melissa and said, "Good morning, Melissa."

Melissa still had her long black hair and still wear black. She replied, "Good morning Keith."

Melissa was now in her early thirties, just like Keith was. But that was the age they gave to their selves. Because they both could not remember their past.

At that moment a name popped into her head. One that she could not believe would pop in. She got up fast and turned to her side table. There was a pen and notepad that laid on her side table. She write the name fast. This was something she had wanted to do for a very long time because she never remembered before. Melissa had no memory of her past but in her dreams. When she would awaken, she would forget everything in her dreams. She would only remember dreaming of them. It would make her cry every morning.

She looked at the name she had written. A name that will change her life forever. She did hope for the good.

This was very different for Keith. He did not dream of his past or remembered any of it.

Melissa laid the notepad down on the table. Then got dressed. She knew it was best to wear a t-shirt and pants, if they had to fight or run. It would be better then a dress. Sometimes they did have to on their trips. Then she put the notepad into her pants pocket. She also made sure to put on a pair of wooden boots. They were not that easy to get into but she knew she had to wear them.

Keith walked into the hallway and Melissa followed after. He turned to look at Melissa. He put one hand on her check, looked her in the eyes, and kissed her.

"I truly love you, Melissa."

"I also truly love you Keith."

They moved back from each other and started to walk different ways down the hallway.

Hi, lets start with what I like to write. I might write a poem once a year. With stories I really enjoy drama types of stories. They might be fantasy or Sci-Fi. I do have a story that is truly like a soap, you never know what is to come.
