All Alone... For Now ((James))

[Chelle]

Kari sat next to the fountain, staring at her reflection in the water. The crystal clear water was beautiful and looked as if it were made of glass. Kari brushed her black hair out of her eyes and looked up.

The moon was full, a large silver orb in the black velvet sky. Tiny stars blinked here and there, tiny pinpricks of light. Kari suddenly felt tears pricking at her eyes and began to sing a song quietly that she had learnt by heart.

"Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look in the mirror and cry
Lord what you're doing to me
I have to spend all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief Lord
Somebody, ooh somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

I work hard everyday of my life
I work till I ache my bones
At the end
I take home my hard earned pay all on my own
I get down on my knees
And I start to pray
'Til the tears run down from my eyes
Lord somebody, ooh somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Every day - I try and I try and I try -
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I'm goin' crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
Got no common sense
I got nobody left to believe
Yeah - yeah yeah yeah
Ooh

Somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Got no feel I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat
I'm OK I'm alright
I ain't gonna face no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
Some day I'm gonna be free Lord..."

Just as Kari was about to finish the song, she heard a deep voice behind her finish the song for her.

" Can anybody find Me, Somebody to... Love...." James whispered, walking up behind Kari. He went in front of her so he could see her face clearly, and was shocked when he saw tears running down her cheeks.

"What is it?" he asked, cupping her chin in his hand. With the light of the moon shining on her face, she looked ghostly white and pale. She wasn't even wearing her thick wollen cloak, just a light one. When he looked at her closely he could see she was shivering slightly.

"Tell me what's wrong," he said, making her look at him.

Kari looked at James.

"Nothing," she said. "Just old memories." Kari looked at James.

"Where did you come from? It's almost like you came here out of nowhere. And why do you seem so, well, similar, to Harry Potter? You two could be brothers and no one would notice the difference between you." Kari wiped her eyes. She scooped some water from the fountain with her hands and blew on it. It fell back into the fountain and Kari looked in. The fountain looked like a pensieve, except there were no memories stored within, only pebbles and stones.
