new project?

I was watching my (one of) favorite TV series (Criminal Minds). And that episode I was watching tells about a family who commits murder which passed on from generations to generations, to be specific it's a sacred ritual killings over the past who-knows-when-it-started generation. So it gave me some idea, what if, I start to write again which regards to what I've seen. I know, I haven't finished some of my works (lots of them, pending works) but before I forgot, I should start it and try to finish it as much as possible, while am still free from worries of adulthood.

Anywho, what I'm planning to write, is about a-- well, it's not mystery, or horror... or anything like what I'm watching on TV (which is Criminal Minds), but--- I think I should considered a romance "novel" or "short story" about a guy dreaming on the past that he couldn't remember (or rather his trying to remember), He stumbles upon an unknown girl from his school which bears the same past as him, she had post traumatic amnesia that triggered her to forget her past.

In some point they're the same, because, the protagonist guy, also reveals that he forgotten his memories due to shock, but it still haunts him in some way, and that's through his dreams. He's been dreaming the same dream for over 15 years, and once he met this girl, he's starting to remember it little by little.

He's in a pinch though, since he's falling for her, but he can't confess his feelings since he remembered that his own Father murdered her parents, leaving him to bury all his memories deep within.

Well, that much said, I haven't decided what to call this "romance" novel or short story depending on what length it will end. But I'll try my best to finish this asap though. So most probably than not, this will just be a short story.

Anywho, I've started the prologue or rather the "chapter one" but I don't have anything to add (just yet) so might as well, enjoy reading the prologue of my "new project", hoping that this will not end up like the other "projects" that been working since I've started writing (9 years ago)...

Prologue? Or... Chapter One?...


"N-No! Please, please don't hurt our daughter...". Over the past 15 years I've always dreamed of her, who is she, and why I kept dreaming of her? "Again, that dream...". I woke up gasping some air, what did I missed. Why on earth I kept dreaming about her for over 15 years? What significance does she have to do with my life and what does she meant about hurting her daughter? And everytime I try to remember I get this odd feeling and my head hurts like hell. "Caleb, honey. It's time to wake up!" I heard my Mom calling me. "Yes Mom, I'm already awake." I said, "Come down here and have some breakfast then" she responded. "Right. S-sure mom." although I've said that, I don't really feel like eating, all I ever wanted was to end this dream once and for all.

I went to school right after, everything seemed fine, normal. But deep inside, it's not. I'm bewildered. Maybe I should call for help, I've heard some experts can interpret dreams. But... Somehow. I'm really scared. Why am I scared? That much said, I suddenly bumped at someone. "Ouch..." she uttered. "S-sorry I wasn't looking..." I exclaimed. "Don't worry, I wasn't looking either..." she said, I glanced at her slim body, she's beautiful, I thought. She had this blue eyes that I've seen before. W-wait. I did saw her somewhere before... b-but w-where? "U-uh, this might sound weird, but, have we met?" I asked, "N-no, I don't think so? Why? A-are you hitting on me?" she said, "No! A-absolutely not!" I exclaimed. "I was just kidding. You don't have to be serious..." she chuckled. I was dumbfounded. "By the way, my name's Andri. And you?" she asked. "U-uh, Caleb.", I wasn't really sure how to begin and just uttered my first name. "Nice to meet you Caleb. So are you a freshmen?" she asked. "No, I'm a sophomore. Linguistics. You?" I asked. "Oh, I haven't seen you around so I thought you were a freshman." She deflected. "No, w-well, I don't hang around much so..." What the... "Well, I really have to go so..." Now I think she's the one who wants to hit on me. "Well, I'm a sophomore as well. Psychology." W-what? Psychology? "Psychology?" I asked. "You know, it's about learning how the mind works. Y-you know, studying human behavior and---" "Yeah, I know what Psychology means." I said. "Of course. So--- Caleb. Can I, well--- see you later?" As I thought. "Look Andri, I think you're beautiful but---" "Hey! That's not what I meant. Look, it sounds weird, but like you've said, I think we've met somewhere before and I feel comfortable being with you. Well, actually I don't remember much about my past. Doctor's said, somehow, my memories are altered, or rather--- somehow it was blocked and--- they said, because I may have Post traumatic amnesia when I was little and in order to protect myself I chose to forget my past. SO it really helps alot when um, well-- if  I have someone I can be---"
"Comfortable with?" I suddenly butt in. "Y-yeah..." I think we're on the same boat.
"O-okay, listen, today at cafeteria, 12 noon, let's talk. Are you okay with that?"
"Sure! That'll be great."
"See you then..."
"Okay! Nice to meet you... Caleb."
"Same here... Andri." But that encounter, I never thought that it will change my life...forever.
