...Where is the face inside me...
A Whole New Game
I stood in front of a mirror inside a small bathroom. I stared at myself as my right eye became stone black. My left eye remained the same. I sighed as my right eye returned to normal. I backed up until my back touched the warm wall. I leaned against the warm wall and stared at my reflection in the mirror.
Finally I pulled a shirt over my head and left the bathroom. I entered a bedroom with clothes tossed everywhere. You could barely see the carpet. I smirked and exited the bedroom and entered the living room that connected with the kitchen. The TV was on and the news was playing. Oh boy. I entered the kitchen and searched the refrigerator for food. I found an apple and gave into that.
I left the kitchen and slowly approached the couch that sat before the TV in the living room. I watched the TV screen and listened to the reporter. I recognized the place the reporter was at. It was the House.
"…no witnesses and the authorities are searching for the reasons why the home of Dr. Simon Storm fell to pieces," said the reporter.
I did not sit down as I watched the reporter go on about other things related to the House but nothing important. I heard the door to the apartment open and close. I kept my back to whoever was entering. My eyes were glued to the screen. Glued to the destruction I had caused.
"I thought you disappeared," I turned to face the owner of the voice. I watched Dylan drop her grocery bags to the floor. "…like last time."
I smirked and leaned against her couch. "Oh but this is a whole new game. I'm not going anywhere. You guys are stuck with me."
"Simon did something to you. Made you…you-you different. Why don't you try to figure out some kind of cure," suggested Dylan.
I pondered Dylan's suggestion for a few moments. "If there is any kind of cure it's with Simon. Right now Simon is out there promoting OTHER. Making the damn chemical look like a god."
Dylan sighed and picked up her grocery bags. She placed them on the kitchen counter. "You shouldn't be doing this."
"You shouldn't have helped," I spat. She looked over at me as I pulled my silver pocketknife out of my pants pocket. I said nothing more as I turned my back to her and walked onto her balcony. I bit into my apple as I looked down at the sidewalks below. People were walking along with not a care in the world. I almost laughed.
I looked up into the night sky as I grew very serious. I felt the monster inside of me prowl, waiting for its release. The monster…all I was. A monster. I stared at the stars as I looked back on my life up to now. I eyed the bitten apple I held in my hand. I spoke in a soft whisper that only I could hear. "…time to forgive what I've done."
The End
Hope you enjoyed the story! Black Angel will be coming along shortly after I change a few things in the first couple chapters. I'd enjoy any reivews. :) It's a pleasure writing and letting people read my work (even if it's not perfect). So go ahead and leave me a review or two, it'd make my day.
As you may of noticed Eva was listening to music throughout some parts of the story. The artists and title goes in order:
Sleeping with Ghosts by Placebo
Assassin by Muse (it's not mentioned what that is what song is playing when Eva first meets Dylan)
Outside by Staind
What I've Done by Linkin Park (ending song)
There is plenty more music that plays throughout the story. I will create a playlist of all the songs and when i do i will post the link on my profile. Till then...thank you for reading and Black Angel will be posted in the next couple of days.
