Mentality *Sequel To "Slow"*

Chapter Nine

"What we do for ourselves does with us. What we do for the world, remains and is immortal."

Will... Will you forget me?"

Concern fills his eyes as we stare deeply into each other's soul. We have children together. We have a life to withhold...

"No baby... I will never forget you.."

Whether or not this can be kept, I need to insure my sanity..

I need to insure my Mentality.

Katelyn Pov

I twist my lip up, and glance over at this man.

"You know when I said I'd always be there for you Christopher?"

I ask. He looks over at me, and begins to laugh.

"Ye yeah... I REMEMBER!"

"Well... I'm still here, and will forever be here."

He quickly searches my face, then steadies them on my eyes.

"Even if you die?"

"I'm not going to die."

He beams, firmly grasping my hand.

"You WON'T!"

"We are together forever, Christopher!"

I begin to feel a rush of excitement and overwhelming joy....

Until I cry. And cry. And cry.

This man suddenly looks down at me and begins to worry.

"What's wrong Kate... Linn?"

He asks.

I snatch my hand away from his.

"WHO ARE YOU?? ARE YOU GOING TO HURT ME???"

I yell at the top of my lungs, truly scared for my life. But, begin to become even more frustrated.

"Who AM I??? What's my name?..... God, how old am I?"

I completely break down will plenty of strangers coming to my aid, but are they on my side?

"DON'T HURT ME, EVERYONE! PLEASE!"

Running out the building, I look up. I'm in a mall. Curiosity falls upon everyone eyes as I look around in panic...

Until I stop.

"CHRISTOPHER???? CHRISSY??? WHERE ARE YOU?"

Sitting on the curb, I curl up into a ball and cradle myself. Many questions invade my thoughts.

How did I get here?

Where's the love of my life?

Where are my children?

Do I have a family of my own?

And lastly...

How and when will I remember?
