Anonymous's room
A guy, at his early twenties, returned to his room. Upon entering, he puts a CD in his CD-player, selects "What have you done", by Within Temptation, after which he laid down on his bed, listening to the song.
"Would you mind if I hurt you? Understand that I need to
Wish that I had other choices, Than to harm the one I love
What have you done now!"
A song which fitted in his current situation in many ways. As he heard the song, he remembered what happened to him before he returned home.
"I know I better stop trying
You know that there's no denying
I won't show mercy on you now"
His girlfriend had called him up to talk to him. Not suspecting anything at all, he went to the agreed spot.
"I know, I should stop believing, I know, there's no retrieving
It's over now, what have you done?
His head up in the air, he had made it to wherever they agreed to meet. But what he saw then...
"What have you done now!
I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you're slipping away (What have you done now!)"
He saw the girl, whom he thought to be his girlfriend, with another guy, who had his hands all over her, somehow causing her to laugh out loud.
"Why, why does fate make us suffer?
There's a curse between us, between me and you"
Making her laugh, like she never did with him. Him, wrapping his arms around her, and her not even trying to stop him. If she were to tell him that this guy is really her brother, only a blind man who hasn't seen this, or a deaf man who didn't hear them, would believe her, but he knew better than this.
"What have you done! What have you done!
What have you done! What have you done!
What have you done now!"
Not knowing what else to do, he picked up a rock, which he threw at the girl and her new boyfriend.
"What have you done! What have you done!
What have you done! What have you done!
What have you done now!"
Not caring about how they might or might not react to his actions, the anonymous guy ran away.
"Would you mind if I killed you?
Would you mind if I tried to? Cause you have..."
Back in his own room, our guy could not believe this was happening.
"Turned into my worst enemy
You carry hate that I don't feel
It's over now
What have you done?"
The worst way to break up with someone is not to just tell them you found someone else, but to immediately show they're with someone else.
"What have you done now!
I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you're slipping away (What have you done now!)"
A tear started to stream down his face, for which he turned to lay on his side.
"Why, why does fate make us suffer?
There's a curse between us, between me and you"
Over the music, he could swear he heard something. Thinking it's probably nothing, he gave it no further thought.
"What have you done! What have you done!
What have you done! What have you done!
What have you done now!
What have you done! What have you done!
What have you done! What have you done!
What have you done now!"
When the more silent part of the song started, he was sure he heard something unnatural. He got up to look around. He noticed a lot of shadows in his room, except that there aren't that many lights to cast so many shadows, or enough objects to cause them. What is this?
"What have you done? (What have you done?) (What have you done?) (What have you done?) "
He couldn't be too sure, but for some reason, they appeared to be moving on their own.
"(What have you done?) (What have you done?) (What have you done?)"
In fact, it looked as though they tried to break free from their shadowy positions, until some bug-like creatures appeared. Once he saw the creatures, he was afraid of them at first, but then decided why he should be. Everything he loved in his life just showed how much it loved him in return. The one reason that gave his life meaning, it's gone. The creatures jumped on him, and he didn't stop them. Soon all became black.
"I will not fall"
Suddenly, light returned to him.
"Won't let it go"
He looked at his hands, which suddenly wore black gloves, the same goes for the sleeves.
"We will be free when it ends"
Once he got a good look at himself in the nearest mirror he could find, he saw he wore a long black coat, along with black clothes underneath it, ditto boots. His face had turned pale, crying on the right side but laughing at the left.
"I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you're slipping away (What have you done now!)"
For reasons unknown to him, he felt a lot stronger, a lot more agile than he ever had before.
"Why, why does fate make us suffer?"
With this new found power of his, he knew exactly what to do.
"There's a curse between us, between me and you"
He went to visit his ex, along with her boyfriend. The first thing she did upon seeing him was complaining about the rock.
"I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you're slipping away (What have you done now!)"
Then she laughed at the sight of him. He however grabbed her face and threw her away.
"Why, why does fate make us suffer?
There's a curse between us, between me and you"
She fell on top of her boyfriend. Both of them had suddenly turned scared of him. They wanted to call the police, but both of their cell-phones got kicked out of their hands, after which the anonymous guy raised his sword and got closer to the two.
