"Serena." I ignored the bell-chime voice as it said my name, again, through exasperatedly clenched teeth. I could picture her face in my mind- jaw tight with frustration, long golden blonde hair pulled into a messy bun, arms crossed angry in front of her large chest. Finally realizing that I wasn't going to respond, the girl pushed a plate of sliced oranges beside my elbow.
"You have to eat, Rena."
Her voice carried both worry and desperation. I turned my head away from the food, reverting my gaze back to the book that I was pretending to read.
"You eat it, Emi," I said, a little too harshly. "You need to gain some weight anyway. You're much too skinny." I shifted my eyes enough to see the weak smile that appeared on her lips.
"You haven't eaten in three days." Emi rested a hand hesitantly on my shoulder. I didn't shake it off this time, as I had numerous times before in the past three days. The days since Zero abandoned me in my blood soaked bedroom.
"I'm sorry," she said quietly. "I don't know what he was thinking. He's and idiot if he doesn't come back."
I closed my eyes tightly, fighting the hot moisture that was again fighting to leak through my long lashes. "He's not coming back." My voice was so soft that I wasn't sure if Emi had heard, but I didn't dare try to speak again. There was a desperate sob emerging in my throat.
Emi rubbed my back consolingly, whispering words of malice against Zero. Finally, I couldn't take it anymore, and a desperate cry slipped through my lips as the hot tears began flowing quickly down my face.
"Don't," I sobbed, covering my eyes with my palms. "Zero isn't...any of those.. things...that you said. I lo- I..." I love him, I wanted to say, but the words were cut off by my crying. Emi sighed exasperatedly, but continued to run her long, slender fingers across my shoulders.
Soon my tears stopped flowing, and I bit the inside of my cheek hard so that I would stop sobbing. After a minute I could taste blood. My hands were still at my eyes, but now they were clenched into fists. I'm pathetic. No wonder Zero left.
Inhaling a deep breath, I took my hands away from my eyes and reached one out to grab an apple slice. I could feel Emi smiley thankfully at my back, but I didn't turn to return it.
That night I stayed up long after Emi had fallen fallen asleep across the hall, staring out the window at the never ending darkness. I felt miserable, worried, angry, pathetic, frustrated- and my head pounded with the force of all my swirling emotions. My eyes still gazed longingly out the window as I ignored the increasing ache in my head.
I stared at the starless night for a while longer, until a cool breeze blowing from the open window made me shiver, and I finally climbed into my bed with a sigh. But I kept the window open, just incase.
I don't know how long I slept before I was awoken by a sudden loud thud, and then a crash. I wasn't given a chance to orient myself before I was being jerked out of my bed, and flung violently against the wall opposite my window. I let out a screech of pain as my head slammed hard into the wall behind me.
The two cold hands were winding themselves around my arms, gripping them firmly. I screamed again, but it was muffled by a hand over my mouth. I jerked wildly, flailing my arms and legs, but the shadow who was holding my only stepped closer, pinning me to the wall with their body. I looked up to get a view of my attacker, and was hit by two pale, long slit eyes, hidden slightly behind shaggy, gray hair.
Zero.
