I don't really know why I write this, but it just came to me. Please tell me what you think and if I should write more.
Wintery days and Lost Souls.
Chapter 1:-The Day it Took me life away.
Henry's pov.
I wasn't very fond of the winter. It had a deathly icey wind. Sometimes when it frosted over at night, the leaves gave off a somewhat pretty glisten. But that didn't change the fact that is was so cold. We were fairly lucky this year. The summer had been full of warm sunny days. Naturally, my friends and I went on many little trips out. It was a summer we would remember for a very long time.
Now, we were back in school. A good year, because we were one of the oldest or higher years, if you like. Bad because it was the start of a long course of exams. Not that I was bad at exams, I was a clever guy. I normally got over average test scores and everything, but that doesn't mean I enjoy them.
Soon, it would be winter vacation. Christmas too, and my sixteenth birthday. My sister had once told me something about starsigns and Astology. I was a Capricorn, level headed, serious, sarcastic but a good sense of humour. I've had those words recited to me so many times now. However, it was an intrest of hers and it wouldn't be polite if I didn't listen to her from time to time.
I liked the holidays, they were the happiest time of year. All of my family would be shopping for presents, gifts and decorations for the house. Just like other families. Sometimes I felt it could be a little boring, but saying so would be rude and selfish, so I kept it to myself. I liked our little family traditions, but doing the same thing over and over can get a little boring, don't you find? I did sometimes wish it would alter, only in the slightest. Not the happy atmosphere, just a few of the 'family traditions'. The slightest alterations could change the whole family, and that was something I paticularily didn't want to be part of or blamed for and I had the feeling that was exactly what would happen.
Well, it was this morning that everything started to go downhill. I was walking to school, in the freezing cold, I should add. Takato would meet me about half way at the park. Then we'd carry on going until we reached the large iron gates. You know, the ones that make a school look like a prison. This morning, the courtyard was only half full. There could only be two explanations for it 1) everyone was ill with flu or 2) we were very early.
Now don't think that what i'm about to say is offensive toward Takato. I like him and he's a friend but he can sometimes be a little too slow. A little really meaning alot. So the second one was unlikely. But no-oneshowed any sign of being the slightest bit ill on friday. However it was cold, so flu could be likely. I didn't know.
As we entered the gates nobody came to greet us, as they normally did. None of our friends were here.
"This is weird, d'ya think the others are alrite?" Takato whispered as though someone would hear. Which again was unlikely because their was hardly anyone who I knew here.
"I'm sure they're fine." I whipsered back, trying to cover up my own doubts.
"Yeah, yeah. They proberly have some test they don't wanna do, or something." Takato laughed nervously.
We walked around the school yard in silence. The uncomfortable sort. Thinking to ourselves about the others. Truthfully, I doubted Takato's response. It wasn't like Jeri or Kenta to miss a test, Kazu maybe but that couldn't have been right. I didn't know where they were, and it was begining to scary.
The day passed very slowly. Without the other three it was very boring. The bitterness of the weather didn't improve on my mood either. Takato and I parted at the end of school at the point we had to go down seperate lanes.
I walked, slowly. Carefully. Thinking about the day I had just had. It was so strange. Suddenly, I began to pick up my pace. Something inside my head told me to get home now. So I ran. I ran so fast I didn't think my legs were a part of me anymore. It was more like flying. I looked down at me feet and realised I wasn't running. Just kicking my legs about madly. I was in a sea of colour. Shapes and buildings were distant blurs. And I just stopped. I stopped moving completly and took a look at the rest of my body. A strange fuzzy feeling had taken over me. It felt terrible, like my insides were dissolving. The swishing of colours faded and faces appeared before my eyes. Family, friends, people from school I was aquanted with, everyone I had ever known in my life. The feeling was sweeping all over my body. Numb could be a good way to descibe it all.
Then I started to ache. All over. Even my fingertips. Cold and warm rushes came over me. Everything I ever felt exited from everyone of my pores. I was left empty and I fell. Not stopping. Well not realising I had stopped. I think I died before I hit the floor. But this wasn't death. It wasn't life either. I don't think I ever worked out what had happened.
After a long, long time I awoke. Rubbing the dust from my eyes and peering out of the small window in the new room I was locked in. Sunlight. Warm sunlight wrapped around me. Cloaking me like a golden velvet material. I was mezmerised by the light. So bright, colourful. It was drawing me in deeply. I couldn't stop myself walking toward it. But when I got closer it burned. I didn't understand. I had been in the sun so much. Maybe I was on the sun. I didn't know. I fell backwards, a thought striking my mind.
I brought my hand upto my teeth. Just as I thought. Fangs.
