It hurt to sit up let alone walk around just two days after is happened the Undertaker urged me to 'Take it Easy' but I wouldn't, no there was no way I was going let these simple wounds slow me down. Anger was fueling my speedy recovery and but now I was already setting up the shop and running about the town finishing jobs. I could tell the Undertaker was keeping an eye on my like a mother lion does to her young. If I so much as slipped he would force me to go lie down and rest. My Bandages however as much as I despised them I was pretty damn sure one of them was holding my kidneys in another my spleen and so one. To get to the point I looked like a mummy or a walking toilet paper roll.
However nothing could spoil this day my closest friend Cassy was coming to see me, I had met her when I was much younger about six or seven. I stared out the window in hopes of seeing a glint of her bright white as snow (yes I know that metaphor had been over used but for her it was true) or her forest leaf green eyes that made me feel normal when it came to mine. Yes they were not as deep as green as mine but they were so much more beautiful than mine could be. What I liked most about her was she didn't hide what she felt or thought. A very straight foreword women , speaks her mind and yes even when it comes to me. She said she had some great news and I couldn't wait to see her. How long had it been since I had spoken to her? a month? a Week? a few Days? To long honestly she was my only friend. The only person I could talk to (The wasn't that annoying old crazy Undertaker...but I love him) without feeling judged or hated.
As I began to fall asleep sitting in that window I heard the door open with a soft 'ding' from the bell that had been placed above it so we know when people entered. I was too tired to get up when suddenly "SUPRISE!" I jumped so high I could swear I hit the ceiling. "What the hell Cassy? not funny!" I looked at her as she laughed then fixed her glasses. The Glasses didn't make her look geeky quite the other way she looked cute maybe even Sexy if I was a guy and not crushing on someone. "yeah, yeah get it all out" I said dusting off myself. There were cobwebs all over me what was is a spider get together on me? When I finished I looked at her and took a good look. "Well Shall we be off?" Cassy said wasting no time on 'our' day.
I couldn't believe how much had changed with her family. Her older sister had gotten married and was about to have a child. Cassy's Father had opened a new shop on the other side of town. Things were going well for her. "So" she said flopping down on a extremely fluffy object she called a bed. "So what?" I responded sitting down and a down pour of pillows attacked me. She laughed at me like I 'was' trying to be crushed to death by the killed bed cushions.
"So tell me about the Undertaker" she winked at me with a soft nudge "What the fuck are you talking about?" said coughing a feather out of my lungs. "
I can tell You have the hot's from him" I swear I almost chocked on my own tongue. "No! No I swear nothing like that is going on with us" I exclaimed waving my hands about like the spaz I was around her. "Yeeeah sure and I'm the queen of England" she nudged me again. I wanted to slap her like a girl would her sister but I held it back for her. We fell back onto her bed talking, and gossiping like we were little girls once more with "oh he's hot" and "No way!" followed by loud giggles of pleasure from our secrets, and a world no one but us could enter our own paradise and freedom called Cassy's bedroom.
Something crept over my mind, the black haired butler that had spent hours cutting as my flesh. It was odd my mind had never lingered on this event until now and I had to force my mind to move onto something ANYTHING but that. "You okay?" Cassy asked looking at me her eyes always found ways to read me. Like once a boy had stolen my favorite stuffed bunny it was all creepy looking and I loved it. Then he ripped it up and she kicked his ass knowing it was him after looking at me for just a few moments. Cassy hands down was the most badass and best friends a 'outcast' girl like me could have (not to mention my only friend).
"Yeah just thinking" I forced a smile "sorry" I finished and she looked at me a moment longer like she was going to press me on the matter but dropped it. "God it's late" she looked at me with a big smile "Wanna stay the night?" she stared shaking my arm "Please!" when she finally stopped there were three of her blurry selves dancing around the solid looking one. What was a going to say I nodded and it was a done deal. The sun began to set and the town was blanketed by darkness, the glow of the lamps couldn't even wound it just listing the streets enough to see three steps in front of you. I smiled the darkness my life the one thing I knew would always be there as this planet turned bring unknowing days forward to me.
Thing went on the same the rest of the night until midnight. Cassy shook me awake violently and I jolted from my sleep with fear. "What is it!" I asked franticly Cassy was grinning down at me "Come on lets go for a Midnight walk" I smiled she knew me all too well these days. We threw on our jackets and were out the door as soon as possible without a sound.
The air was cool this I know because goose bumps were forming on my arms and I shivered gladly. Night held me in its grasp tenderly. Cassy was twirling around a street lamp humming with a smile. We were like two new born children intoxicated on the darkness the surrounded us filling our lungs and minds, more effectively than any drug. "I can see why you love the darkness so much" she said throwing her arms around me with a smile. "It gets better" I pointed up and her eyes followed to the blanker above and it's diamonds that sparkled brighter than anything. in the mist of them a disc that had such and eerie glow it made us both shiver. "We need to do this more" I nodded agreeing although I did this almost nightly on my own though I would never tell, I would let this be special to us for this moment I wasn't alone and I wasn't an orphan found in the snow left to die, I was Jade a friend of Cassy.
Time slipped through our fingers it was coming close to twilight and we had to get back soon. Cassy had to convince me to leave such a place the wonderland of darkness seemed to be a place only I wished to staying forever that when I remembered she preferred a world of light, of the sun, and of warmth so I smiled and nodded the darkness would have to wait another day for me to return to it. As we walked my vision became hazy and I could tell so had hers as she ran into me. We stopped till it cleared, the streets came into view once more however we were no longer on the same street but the other side of town "How did that happen we only took a few steps" Cassy exclaimed in confusion, expressing how I felt.
"Let's just start heading back okay?" I urged her feeling something wasn't right about all of this. I felt eyes watching our movements looking, searching for something. That's when I felt Cassy's warmth leave me I couldn't feel her anymore, When I looked she was gone "Cassy!" I looked all around. Fear stung my heart as is pounded against my rib cage to the point I was sure it would either burst of crack a rib it's self. I ran all over my legs wanted to give out and came close but I forced on until my body altogether gave up on me. while my soul and sprit violently pressed on. I heard it a chuckle of amusement I whirled around so fast the rest of the world was a burl to me.
The world melted away once again the bright white room stood around me and Sebastian, He was grinning at me "WHERE IS SHE!" I screamed and I felt my throat being cut up from it. Anger consumed me taking control. "Here" he said staring at me closely "Don't worry I haven't hurt her" he raised a bloodied white gloved hand up "Much" he chuckled. I lunged at him as he simple moved a side. "Leave her alone she has nothing to do with this you fucked up bastard!" I growled through clenched teeth. "You want her back that bad?" he asked in a teasing tone "Give her back!" I yelled. He smirked "As you wish". The world came back to me and Cassy was laying there curled, I ran to her "Cassy!" I pulled her onto my lap. I was overjoyed to see her when I felt it.
The warm liquid I looked over her. A huge gash was in her chest "no" I said as shock and pain hit me with a force. "J-jade" a faint voice called to me I met her eyes. Cassy placed a hand on my cheek. Tears stung at my eyes I felt my body begin to tremble, this had to be a nightmare that I would be shaken from but it never came. "Thank you, f-for not leaving me alone w-while I die" she whimpered in pain "NO!" I screamed "you won't die not here not now!" I began to cry. I pressed my hands over her wound trying to stop the bleeding and her blood pooled out and all over me and the street. "Shhh" she said as her hand slipped from me "Don't cry" Cassy said. "No! your all I have please don't go!" the tears flowed from my eyes. "Please I don't want to be alone anymore" Cassy smiled at me weakly. "You have the Undertaker" She replied I shook my head trying with all my might to stop the bleeding. "It's not the same! your my friend the only one" my voice was shaking just as my body. "I don't want to be this way, you helped me come out of this darkness and made me normal for once" Cassy tried to laugh but it came out more as a gurgle. That's when I realized her lungs were filling with blood as well.
"You were a-always normal just in your own way" Cassy was fighting to keep her eyes open "I'm so tired" she whimpered. "Just stay awake You'll be okay I promise just stay awake" I begged her. A woman came out from her house and ran to get help seeing Cassy's blood running down the street. "Please don't just keep your eyes open just a bit longer help will come" tears were blurring my vision. "J-just a moment of rest that's all Jade a-and besides I've lived my life" "Don't say that!" I cut her off feeling agony stab my heart "You're going to be fine and things will be okay I promise I won't let another person I care for disappear!" Cassy smiled fully the comforting one I remembered. "I-I think I understand why you love the night so much, I-it's so peaceful and beautiful" I nodded "Just focus on the stars okay help will be here" her eyes closed and I searched for her heartbeat but none came "No" I gasped "Please" I begged God, for the first time I needed to believe there was a God. "Give her back" I cried "GIVE HER BACK!" I screamed at this God that has stolen her form me just now. "Is this your game! take everyone a care about just to see me suffer?" I cried holding her close to me as her body became cold. I was trying to keep her warm as if she really was just sleeping.
The agony was killing me eating away at my heart, when the help did come they had to pry her away from me. It wasn't until they had all left that I felt it how alone I had just became. Her blood soaked my pants and shirt my hands stained with it, I couldn't save someone when it mattered I had become useless to someone that needed me. The only peace I could find was at lest the night took her into its loving hold and away from the suffering. I found some ungodly strength to stand and make it home. "Why Jade your home early" The undertaker said but his voice was nothing more but a whisper to me. I was sure he noticed the blood and my eyes because he didn't say anything more. When I entered my room the full effect hit me I feel to my knees unable to stand or even crawl to my bed and screamed "Why!" the tears were like the pain it's self, slow, warm, and never ending. Why had I been chosen to suffer, my heart felt as if it were shriveling into nothing, falling into a pit of darkness.
I collapsed fully on the floor whimpering and crying like a child that has lost its toy, but I had lost more. I lost a friend, no I lost a member of my family once again. that voice came to me 'this is what happens you let someone in your life and they are gone in moments' I screamed out weakly again, as my body became limp. I must have laid there for hours when the undertaker picked me up laying me in his bed just holding me as I cried. The tears didn't stop till my body forced it's self to sleep. That full week it rained and the Undertaker refused to prepare Cassy's body for the funeral.
