The world was so cold and Edward's vision and hearing was blurred and barley there so much so that even when he was held by his lover he felt nothing.  Slowly the world faded to darkness and his last thoughts returned to his only love.<br/><br/>So many years had passed since that unfortunate day and though unknown reasons Edward was given a new life which compared to his early years was far greater.  Edward, now renamed Elliot, lived with loving parents who kept him instead of selling him, he was born in a time where slavery was looked down upon and was actually given punishment for forcing another into such a life, and he was given a proper education within this new world.  To say the least Elliot had a good, comfortable life in which he always felt grateful for as even though his previous life had been erased from his memory it still lingered in the back of his mind without actually coming to the surface.  Something common for those with previous lives.<br/><br/>The now twenty-eight year old lived like as a veterinarian who worked for a small clinic at the edge of the city which itself was smaller than most other cities.  The young man still looked similar to his previous life: chestnut brown hair which was styled on the shorter styles yet also had a red tint to it, his light skin which had small imperfections such as his freckles and a small scar on his chin (this time around much lighter than before), and still standing at 5'8" in height; however, Elliot's ears were no longer pointed, he didn't have markings of a slave no longer, and though still with a fragile figure it was far stronger than that of his previous body which was usual for those creatures who lived near the streams.  Although, his eyes remained the same of those of sapphire stones, bright and full of life, just like in his old life.<br/><br/>In this new life Elliot was able to walk around without guards having to keep him safe nor fear of going out the bounds of this city as if he did he would still be safe rather than with the threat of being taken and sold back into slavery.  Today the man had a day off from his clinic and was able to just relax for awhile.  Elliot got dressed for the day which was in a simple t-shirt and jeans.  With his dog by his side Elliot began to take best friend for nice, over-do, long walk.  Though it was hot it was also a nice day which only brought out a certain energy for the young man today.  "Come on Charlie, wanna go to the pond? Huh? Wanna go chase the ducks and then get scared by them? Awe, yeah you do." Elliot joked around with his loving pooch.<br/><br/>The walk towards the park was normal.  Cars zooming around, people rushing to work, mothers going off to their yoga classes or mommy-and-me classes, and so many other events in which was normal in this world.  Elliot enjoyed this fast and lively city, he was able to blend in so well and able to walk around without fear.<br/><br/>As they made their way to the park entrance the young man began down the long grey path and as they passed the playground filled with children and parents and passed couples on dates or first time daters, Elliot couldn't help but feel a bit sad as his own love life wasn't all to great at the moment and even if it was sweet to see everyone with their loved ones it still made himself feel as though he was missing something.  Missing someone.  Shaking his head the man began to jog, calling Charlie to follow as he began to the small man made pond to play with his dog as well as just relax under the shady trees and cool grass.  As they made it to the pond the young man let his dog off the leash and let him run around as he sat down under a near by tree.  Sighing softly he leaned back and watched his pooch run around and enjoy the large open space.
