Ty sat on his bed. The hours slid away as he stared at his wall. Someone had taken his sheets away. He let the tears slip down his cheeks and wet the bandages. He was still in the towel he had used after his shower. Red blotches were starting to appear on the bandages around his legs and torso. Songbird was sitting on his roost, wet trails running down his feathery cheeks.
A knock broke Ty out of his trance.
"Hey, Ty. I bought you some lunch", Ian said as he opened Ty's door.
Ty looked at Ian with a blank stare. He blinked a few times and Ian shifted a bit, uncomfortable under Ty's gaze.
"I'll just, uh, leave it on top of your cabinet then", Ian murmured as he walked towards the cabinet.
"Just call out if you need anything", Ian said as he exited Ty's room, closing the door as he went.
Songbird looked at Ty, who was still blankly staring at the spot Ian had stood only moments ago. He went up to Ty's side and gently nipped at Ty's shoulder. Ty turned to the bird and looked at Songbird, as the bird attempted to make Ty smile. After various attempts Songbird warbled softly and jumped onto Ty's lap, looking up at Ty. At this Ty felt a hint of a smile takes its place on his face. He pulled Songbird into a small hug and let the bird wipe his tears away with its head.
Ty looked up and let his blurry eyes focus on the door in front of him. He blinked slowly as his eyes adjusted to the dark around him. Looking down at the pressure in his lap he saw Songbird. He smiled softly as he patted Songbird as if he were a cat in Ty's lap. When the bird didn't stir Ty looked up to the door again only to see a shadow on the door. He quickly looked to the window and almost fainted in sheer fright. The figure, the eyes. It was looking at him, right in his eyes. Immediately his heart began to beat faster as he kept his stare on the figure looking through his window. Just as before he couldn't make much out, but, this time, he did see a mouth. A smiling mouth. And razor sharp teeth, that glinted like knives in the creature's mouth. Then the smile dropped, the creature looked at the door to Ty's bedroom as it opened. Ty looked at the door, but upon seeing no one he quickly returned his gaze to the window. All he saw when he looked back was a partially open window, a windowpane with scratches akin to the ones on his legs and torso, and a dead dove with no wings.
You don't belong here.
Why did you come to this world?
What purpose do you serve if you have no meaning?
You are nothing here.

This chapter was rushed. Sorry about that. Trying to get everything done and this kinda just, by a thread, ends up happening. And by 'this' I mean these chapters. Hope you all enjoyed it anyway. As far as I know there are a couple of people who actually like this and have continued reading these chapters. I may have to delay some chapters in the future, just so you all know. Hope you all have a good day, night, evening or other.
Chaos xoxo
