Myst POV
"But Black is the colour of my true love's hair. His face is like some rosy fair, the prettiest face and the neatest hands, I love the ground whereon he stands." I sang as I hung out the washing. All the while thinking about my true love, 'if I ever met him' I thought to myself bitterly. I turned back to the basket to pick the next item of clothing to hang out. My long black and blue dress swishing around my ankles as I did. As I was pinning it up I heard some shouting and the crash of something falling and breaking in the house. I turned and looked. The old cobblestone house was deathly quiet. I began to walk towards when all of sudden the top window was thrown open and my mother's head looked out. Her face was covered in deep cuts and blood was running from them down her face. She saw me and began screaming.
"RUN MYST! DROP EVERYTHING AND RUN! GET AWAY FROM HERE AS FAST AS YOU CAN!" She screamed at me before she was yanked inside by somebody I'd never seen before.
I did everything she said except leave. Instead, I sprinted over to the little cubby that my five year old sister Sarah was playing in. I ran inside and grabbed her as I ran jumping out the little window opposite the door. I kicked our wooden fence down and ran over to a brick wall that surrounded our house. I ducked us down behind it just as the house I had lived in for seventeen years blew up. Pieces of wood flew everywhere but the brick wall shielded my sister and I. When things calmed down for a bit I peeked over the wall to see our house on fire and my parent's most likely dead.
I sat down heavily behind the wall and held Sarah close to me. All of a sudden there was a creaking noise and I turned around to see the wall falling towards us. I quickly pushed Sarah as far away from the wall as I could but I didn't get away in time. I died when a brick wall fell on me and crushed my body.
I awoke later with the moon shining down on me. It truly was a beautiful sight. A voice started speaking in my mind making me jump.
"You're name is Myst and you are the spirit of music." The voice spoke fading as it finished.
I sat up and looked around. I was still at home but instead of being under the rubble I was sitting on top of it. I got up and felt my feet leave the ground. I screamed as I realised I was floating but soon decided I liked the feeling. I floated over to the town in search of my sister.
I saw one of my neighbours so I landed and walked over to him. He turned and began to walk towards me so I stopped.
"Hey, have you seen Sa-" I got out before he walked straight through me. He walked through me... HE WALKED THROUGH ME! I quickly turned but he was gone. This is when I realised that no-one could see me. I turned and saw my reflection in the mirror. My once long brown hair was now black and I was even more pale than usual. I looked at my hands and saw my nails were also black. I glanced back at my reflection one more time before standing straighter and flying away from my home.
300 Years later
I writhed with the rest of the bodies in the night club I was in. The human's sweaty bodies going through mine as I danced making the music pulse throughout the whole room. Drowning everyone's mind in the beat. Even the DJ was caught up in the web I was weaving. The techno song reached its climax and everyone in the room seemed to let out a breath as it finished. I felt their bodies still humming with the beat and the happiness that flew through them each time the music was playing. My work here was done. I strutted out the club, my mini red and black, sleeveless gothic Lolita dress's skirt bouncing with each step. I was the only one that could hear my knee high, high heeled boots clicking along the ground, so moving past the bouncer that was guarding the entry/exit wasn't a problem.
I flew up into the sky. My long, straight black hair flowing out behind me as I moved to the next club.
