Inner Battle
The Emcee: This is a Near Dark fic. About what Severen thinks and that stuff. Hope you like it. It's a one-shot. R&R. Told in Severen's POV
I wanted this kind of life. Who wouldn't? I mean, you get to live forever and you do as you please. No one can stand in your way. The world's my own play toy. Who wouldn't be happier? Who can honestly say that they never longed for such a life.
But, something seems to be...missing. And I don't know what if could be. Sounds strange, huh? Getting all you could ever want, but it still doesn't seem enough. Jesse sees that there's something wrong. He's asked me about it many times. But I tell him it's nothing, or that I'm tired. Whatever floats my boat. Either way, I'll lie about it.
I'm not the type of guy to open up and express his feelings, like some high school prep. Ok, I'll admit, that I do talk to Mae about some things that I can't hold in me for long. She just listens and tries to do her best to consol me. I tell her about the small things. Like, how, at times, I do miss my home. And how I long to go back, just for one night. It's like a dream for me that I know will never come true.
Hell, I've even told Caleb about some of the things I long for. Talk about desperate. After awhile, I didn't desire anything. It's like I became a shell inside. And that nothing mattered to me anymore. Finally, I took some time away from the gang to think over things for awhile.
I thought about my family and friends from my past. Too long I've kept my past locked up inside. I've denied my true potential for far too long. It's time to trust my instincts. And get back on track.
The End
The Emcee: I know it's short, but oh well, who cares? I just hoe you liked it.
