Dreams of a Beautiful Monster
Don't own any of the Gone characters. Unfortunately Michael Grant does. I don't own Jay Z's song either.
"And baby it's amazing I'm in this maze with you. I just can't crack your code. One day you're screaming your love, your love the next day you're so cold. One day you're here. One day you're there. One day you care, you're so unfair. Sipping from your cup till it runneth over, Holy Grail!" Elie sang loudly.
She was unaware of the dark eyes watching her. Of all the guys that could have crushed on her she got the psychopath. Drake watched as she continued to walk down the old dust hallways of Coates Academy. Elie arrived five weeks ago and he hadn't been able to keep his eyes off of her. For some odd reason she intrigued him. She was beautiful with dark luscious black curls running to the middle of her back.
"Drake!" At the mention of his name he spun around quickly. Caine was walking towards him. "What are you looking at?" Caine asked curiously. Thankfully Elie had already turned the corner so Drake didn't have to explain anything.
"Nothing, mind your own business Soren," Drake snapped harshly.
"Hey Diana!" Elie said. She had just arrived to her dorm where she was staying. When she arrived she was assigned a dorm with a girl named Diana. She was very pretty, in fact the whole school thought so.
"Sup Els? How was your day?" Diana asked curiously. Elie thought about Diana's question for a moment. It had been okay except when she was walking back to her room. She thought for Drake was going to punch or beat her. For the past couple of days she had noticed him staring at her with that shark like grin spread on his face. Since day one she knew to stay away from him. It had been five minutes into her first day and she saw him throw a kid to the ground and punch him repeatedly. Elie had to admit though that Drake Merwin was very attractive though.
"It was fine," she replied quietly. Diana just nodded, got off of her bed and walked out of the door saying something about seeing Caine.
Elie sighed quietly. Why couldn't she have just stayed home and done homeschooling instead. She knew that answer right away. All the kids were afraid of her. Okay she admitted it she was a little strange but no need to judge. Elie was a masochist. She loved the rush she got from it. Lately though she would do something even stranger. Whenever she had gotten mad at anyone and wished terrible things upon them they got marks and bruises all over their bodies. It was like she could hurt people with her mind. She didn't regret any of it either; she loved every single minute of it.
Drake was sitting in his room completely bored out of his mind. He was on his bed messing with his pocket knife while Caine was messing around on his computer looking at the list of freaks in this school. Lately people started having weird powers, including Caine, and he was very adamant on removing them from the picture for some odd reason. Drake agreed though because he didn't like the possibility of someone else being more intimidating them him. While he was thinking this, Diana walked into the room. Drake quickly got up and walked out. He hated her with a passion.
"Nice to see you to Merwin," she said haughtily.
Drake walked outside for a bit. When he turned the corner he saw the girl who had been stuck in his mind lately. She glanced up from where she was sitting reading and met eyes with Drake. Her eyes instantly changed from contempt to scared. Oh no Drake thought miserably. The one girl he didn't want to her was afraid of him. For some reason, that angered him.
"What are you staring at?" he yelled at her.
"N-n-nothing," she replied weakly. He almost wanted to laugh. Look at her trembling at him. Ha! He realized though that he didn't want her to be afraid he wanted to gain her trust. Then maybe they could be more.
"Sorry for yelling," he said gently. She blanched at him. The great Drake Merwin was apologizing?
"It's fine." She looked at him closely. He really was good looking. It didn't matter though, a person like that couldn't change.
"So I was wondering would you like to maybe hangout sometime?" he asked shyly.
Elie just stared. Why was he acting like this? He was supposed to be beating her to a pulp by now, not asking her to hangout. She could only meekly nod. Drake got a huge grin on his face.
"Good. I'll see you around then." And with that Drake walked away and left Elie wondering what the crap she agreed to.
Pretty please review with a cherry on top! Let me know if it was good and what needs fixed/changed.
