Transportion && Albert

 

 Walking through this open valley of open scent of nothing but fresh honeydew and dirt, I couldn’t help but feel alone. I did terribly wish that Albert were with me, since he is the only thing on my mind and I can never seem to do anything that won’t remind me of him. As if planned, my phone began to vibrate to life, and checking the caller ID, I couldn’t help but smile. I flipped open the phone, almost tripping over a rock as I walked forward without looking, “Hello Albert.” I said, meaning for my voice to come out smooth and sexy, however at the same moment I tripped again and it all came out wrong and jumbled. “Hello.” He said, in a monotone voice. He sounded depressed and zoned out on what really was happening. “Do you know what today is?” I asked him, sounding very suspicious, if I may say so myself. I could hear the smile in his voice as he replied, “Why yes, my love. Today is the day of our what year? Was it one? Hmm. Maybe two? No, no. It’s been three years, my love. Three years today since the day I asked you to be my girlfriend.” I chuckled and quickly said back, “Very good. I’m so glad you remembered.” I was so wrapped up in our not so long conversation I hadn’t notice the deep canyon that was only about 3 steps away from me. Before I could do anything about it, or had my brain comprehended that I was about to go tumbling down 400 feet of endless air, and landing painfully on rocks as my spleen is split and my intestines are punctured, I lost my balance. I shrieked into the phone right before I dropped it. My feet just seemed to snap under my weight and off I went on the side of the canyon. Normally, you would think that, while falling, you would be thinking of prayers, or loved ones. However, I was quite the contrary, I was trying to remember why I had been in this open valley in the first place. And how I got here. Too soon, though, I could see the sharp rocks below me and I began to ponder which way would be best for me to hit them; which would be less painful, or the quickest to my death. Right as I thought that perhaps landing on my head would puncture my brain and kill my the quickest, or falling on my legs, but that would result in the bones being shoved up into the rest of my body, and that would most likely be the most painful way, I felt a warm and sturdy hand grasp my wrist. I was jerked to a stop in mid-air. I cautiously looked up to see who had stopped my intriguing thoughts of the way I should die and who had saved my life. A dark shadow loomed above me. The sun glared behind the shadow and made it quite impossible to see who had saved my life. Whoever it was, he was here; grasping my wrist with his muscular hand, pulling me from my death. It went by too quick, as if I had hallucinated everything. Before I knew it I was standing on top of the canyon, looking for my rescuer, but he was nowhere in site. Then all of a sudden, my mind went fuzzy, and when I awoke I was back at school.

 

        

            “Kerii!” The voice I had heard so many times before called out. I whipped around, nearly hitting myself in the face with my long copper hair. “Albert.” I said, as a greeting. I continued walking as he caught up with me. “I was so worried! What happened?” Albert’s expression was fear. At first I was very confused but then I remembered that I had screamed (obviously) and dropped my phone when I fell.  “Oh that. I was at a canyon in Australia. You know how it is, with my transporting. And well, I was being careless and I practically walked off the edge.” He looked down, and didn’t speak as we walked to Gym. “What?” I asked him. He bit his lower lip and quietly spoke, “I thought that yesterday. When I heard you scream, I remembered one of my visions that I had a couple of days ago. I saw someone talking on a phone at a canyon, and then screaming. It was all dark in my vision, so I couldn’t make since of it too well. I didn’t connect it to the fact that that person was you. And when I heard you scream. I knew that it had happened.” My mind went blank. However, it didn’t go blank to the fact that Albert had had a vision about this, but that I had been saved. By someone who probably didn’t even know who I was. And when I had been transported there the canyon had been entirely deserted. “Albert, when I fell, I thought that I was falling toward my death.” His face formed a confused look. “And?” He asked. “You see, as I was falling, someone saved me, of course. Or else I wouldn’t be here at the moment. But, it was so strange. It’s hard to explain. I hadn’t thought about it much since they were saving my life. I couldn’t see who it was because of the glare of the sun. But when I was pulled back up to the top of the canyon, my savior was gone. Albert looked away, with a thinking expression. “That is very peculiar.” He looked back at my face, “No matter who saved you, or the fact that I wouldn’t have ever been able to save you, I wish I could’ve.” I softened my mind, telling myself that it didn’t matter at the moment who had been my savior. Albert and I were together. Right here, right now. That was all that mattered.

 

We both gazed into each other’s eyes. His sapphire eyes were oh to easy to get lost in. I shook my head to clear the mugginess away. “Why were you there?” Albert asked. I shrugged. “You know me. I’m never really sure why I go to the places that I do. One day I might be in school. The next I’m scuba diving in the pacific. You know I can’t control what it does to me.” Albert looked me in the eyes, confused. “What-oh. You mean the disease.” I sighed, very irritated by Albert’s constant forget ness. “Yes, the disease, silly. How it makes me appear in places that I've never been to be before. Which brings me to my next thought. I think I know WHY it makes me go to all these strange places.” “And that reason would be what?” “There is something that it wants me to figure out about these places. They’re connected in some way. Think about it. First the beach in Mexico, then the scuba diving in the pacific, then the town square in Europe, and now the open valley canyon in Australia!” Albert stared into my eyes, “I’m not quite getting it. What do all those have in common?” “They’re places I’ve never been to. I’m pretty positive that I’m supposed to find SOMETHING about all those.” We stood in that corner for silence until the 8^th period bell rang. I sighed. Albert was most definitely my knight in shining armor, but sometimes he could be slow. Not wanting to be late, I quickly pecked Albert on the cheek and headed to the girl’s locker room. He had that puzzled look on his face, even when I caught the last glimpse of him as he disappeared into the crowd of guys.
