P.O.V
Arianna
"Arianna! Get out here now or I'll just leave you behind." Alexis called at the large brick house from her car.
"Shut up already, I'm coming!" I yelled back while walking to the silver jeep. "Anyway it's not my fault that I no longer have a car." I said before slamming the car door behind me.
"Well it's not my fault either, so don't blame me," Alexis turned the car on and started to drive away from my house. On the floor near my feet a few books fell over as Laex turned a corner.
"Why are you reading these?" I asked as I picked up a few from the pile "The Myths of Night Creatures, How to destroy Mythical Beings, Surviving the Night With The Inexistent… Laex, what's going on?" I picked up another book entitled Ancient Myths of the World and opened it up to a random page.
"Nothing is going on… I-I'm just researching for a story I want to write…" I could hear the falter in her voice.
"You're lying. Tell the truth NOW." I commanded, slamming the book shut.
Alexis's brown curls fell between us, hiding her face from me. "I-I really don't know what y-you're talking about…" I knew this act; Alexis always put it on when she didn't want to tell someone something. She would keep her eyes facing away and her hair between them in order to hide her face.
I secretly took the hair scrunchy off her wrist in order to use it in a matter of seconds. While Laexica was still distracted I pulled her hair into a messy bun.
"Hey! I'm trying to drive here!" She protested, swerving off the road a little.
"Calm down, you're fine." I turned myself sideways in the seat to face my friend. "Now explain yourself, you've never enjoyed writing about mythical creatures and you never, ever collect this much research. So why start now?" The brunette sighed, pulling over the car to the side of the street. "Hey, Lex… Shouldn't we be, you know, going to school now?"
"We're not going to school." She didn't say why, but I could tell by her attitude that something was seriously wrong. Her grip on the steering wheel tightened and her breathing shortened.
"Laex, please tell me what's wrong, we're friends aren't we? You can trust me." She nodded, her breathing returned to normal but still unable to tell me the truth. "Come on, I'll listen, you know I will." Lex nodded again.
"I know, but that's not the problem. My situation… it's not easy to explain. The black book, look on page two hundred and thirty four, there's a letter I found on my bed a few nights ago. If you read it then maybe you'll understand a little more and it'll be easier for me to explain."
I picked up the thick, black book and read the title. "Ancient Families? Why do you have a book like th-"
"Just read the letter." Alexis demanded as she revived her car and began to drive again.
"Fine," Iflipped to page two hundred and thirty-four, just as I was instructed to. On that page lay a single piece of paper folded down the middle. With gentle hands, I picked up the ancient looking paper, unfolding it with the same amount of care. On the inside someone had filled the page with their old style writing, engulfing the page with thick inked letters. I read the small page to myself, taking my time in order to figure out what it all meant.
To my Dearest Alexis Lindsey,
This may come to you as a shock but I must see you my dear. So many times I've watched you grow up and fall in love with the wrong people, never truly being happy. In order to protect you I had kept my distance, hoping only I was the one suffering but I know now that you've suffered just as much as me by not knowing. I maybe acting selfish to risk your safety in order to reunite us once again but I can no longer watch your life fade away. I must be with you, no longer hiding in the background of your life waiting for you to notice me. I intend to be with you even if it breaks every rule of my world. Please remember your past, our past, the lives that we lived together, the happiness we shared. Remember the times when you knew what I was, what I still am, but you still stayed with me, you still loved me. Remember me please, this maybe our last hope for happiness together.
With all my heart,
Reziel Harnett
P.S. Look for the signs, they're all around you.
The paper slipped gently out of my hands falling back onto the opened book's page. "Do you think it maybe just a prank?" I asked Lex shook her head in reply.
"No, like he mentioned at the end, about the signs, I've seen them, things that weren't there before…" I really wished to push Lex for more details but I could tell this was a subject she didn't want to talk about. Something terrible was going on and her friend had to deal with all by herself and it was really messing with her.
"Don't worry, you don't have to talk about this with me if you don't want to but at least tell me why we are skipping school? My parents will kill me if I skip and you've already skipped too ma…" My words trailed off when I saw Alexis's face. "Lex… Are you okay?" I turned my head in the same direction that she was looking. "HOLY SHIT! What the Hell is that?" Standing in the middle of the street was a giant shadow creature, roughly the size of a bus. I couldn't make out the shape of it but it wasn't any thing I've ever seen before.
"No…" Alexis mumbled then hit her foot onto the gas peddle as hard as she could; we were heading straight for the shadow.
"Alexis! What are you doing?" I screamed over the sound of the cars motor. No reply came from the deranged girl sitting next to me. I grabbed a hold of the wheel trying to redirect the car. I turned my head away preparing for the impact. "Stop Lex! Don't just hit i-" The shadow was gone by the time I looked up at the road again. Lex hit the breaks, a look of worry on her face.
"Where did it g-" my words were cut off by an impact hitting Alexis's side of the car. My head crashed into something as the car flipped over. Everything went black before the car made contact with the pavement once more.
