Dark. Cold. Alone.
I hated it. I hated it with everything I had.
But it was a choice. That was the hardest part.
A familiar feeling fills my chest as I walk along the empty streets, shivering under all of my coverings.
The silence is scary. I ignore it though, with the cool noise I play in my ears. I imitate the center sound in comfort. I know it's not right, but it's better than trying to imitate the clean noise, I knew I couldn't.
Every part of me kept moving, bouncing as I hum.
It's weird, how something I cannot understand can calm me so. But...it had been his. He left it for me. It kinda makes sense, in some strange way.
And he had been able to make the clean noise. I always felt something when I remember the sound.
Movement in the corner makes me pull the ear covers off and I spin my body into the same direction. I bared my teeth as I crouch low to the ground. I give a low snarl, feeling everything stand up on end.
A soft whine sounded from behind a dead metal beast. My anger fell away as I straighten my body. I huff in reply, shifting as I shook my body lightly. A hooded, darkened face popped up, grinning at me with stained fangs.
"I found you Cold One!"
I sneeze. The form grew as red claws grip onto the metal side as he pulls himself up. A dark brown hoodie, decorated with a worn blackened symbol on his back and dark green mix pants consists of his coverings. The only brightness on him is the yellow tape bands of one leg, and another band peeking out from where the hoodie covers his pants.
He leaps off the thing and lands next to me on all fours, though now that I recognize him, I don't flinch. The hunter keeps grinning, pulling his hood down to reveal shaggy mud mop and a set of silver, blank eyes. "I found you! Alpha was going to be mad at Hazard if Hazard didn't find you. But Hazard found you! Hazard not in trouble with Alpha now!"
I blink behind my eye covers, tilting my head. Hazard covers his fangs, still smiling though.
"Where did you go Cold One? Alpha thought you left when you were not with pack at Bright Light."
I shake my head, turning a little as I tap my foot against the basket behind me. Inside was more coverings, most big and bulky. Hazard leans forward and began to sniff my haul of the day.
"Why do you need prey things? Cold One has pack!" Hazard whines, sitting on his haunches.
I shake my head, turning back down the street as I reach behind and take hold of the chilly metal bar. Ignoring the instict to pull away from the contact, I begin to walk down the street again, sliding the ear covers back on.
"...There's a fire starting in my heart..."
My chest returns to the feeling before as I moved my mouth, but not let sound come out.
"Reaching a fever pitch and it's bring me out the dark
The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep..."
A vibration shakes up along my tugging arm. I look behind to see Hazard making himself comfortable in the basket. Rolling around inside, partially burying himself under the coverings.
"...c...ca..."
His face pops out as I shut my mouth, clenching my teeth.
"Cold One?" He asks, and I ignore him. Turning my back to him, he became part of the deadness that I always ignore as I walk forward. My noise in the ear covers change, and I feel my mouth twitch.
When I had been...different...when I was still with him...we would both make the clean noise.
"...Cause you make feel like, I've been locked out of heaven
For too long, for too long
Yeah you make feel like, I've been locked out of heaven
For too long, for too long..."
I stop, looking up to the black sky. My eyes hurt as I keep looking straight up, a muddy flying thing fading in and out.
I had no choice. I couldn't go back to heaven. Only he could. He needed to.
He was almost dead, but not like me.
Yo- So I rewrote this cuz I looked back and said "Good this is awful. I can't believe two people actually liked it!"
So, to ease my conscious, I have rewritten this and it is dedicated to my two reviewers, Nessa5IB and Ban3.
Thank you so much for reading and liking this story, and I hope you like this new vamped version of it!
Ailin - "The second chapter is partially done and so you should expect an update some time soon. As long as the computers and home are willing to work long enough!" Me- "...Why are you here?"Ailin- "Cuz I can! I do what I want!"
Me- "Last I checked, you're not Loki. And you're from an AvP fanfic! Not Avengers or Thor!"
Ailin- "I could be. Loki is infomas for being a shapshifter."
Me, grinning, "SO you got raped by a horse and gave birth to an eight legged stallion, all while your original form being a dude?"
Ailin, pale, "No. I'm not Loki, I'm gonna go back now."
Me- "Also, if you like alien and predator fanfics, please go and read Legacy Of The Damned. It's up to six chapters, and I have been trying to continue the 7th chapter, but I've just been struggling with the huge action scene."
Anyway, read, review, flame, and all that fun stuff. Thanx and hope to see you guys soon!
~And for those flamers and trollers, just remember- Hatters make me famous ;)
