It was mid morning when I finally got up. My dad was no where in sight, he was never there after he beat me this bad, he always had business trips and would be gone a few days until I was back to my normal state of all the beatings being hidden.
I was still in bed laying on my side so as to not aggravate my condition but pain still seared through my veins. I got up carefully and got some cereal then took some IB profane, it probably wouldn't do much but hey, it was still a painkiller. Soon I had fallen back to sleep again, however restless it was.
When I woke up again it was nighttime and what little effect the painkiller had had worn off. I struggled over to the counter and downed another douse.
I sat down at my desk knowing I had to do something to keep my mind off the pain. Pain always seems worse when it'd the only thing you have to think about. I glanced around looking at the books that I had, all of witch would usually be my distraction of choice seemed to have little appeal at this time. Probably because while they sucked me into their reality was great, it was nothing compared to the fantasy that I could live on the computer now.
I turned on the computer and logged in having made my decision. I had an E-mail from Tech asking why I had run away so quickly. I pondered for a moment and then decided I just wouldn't reply. He didn't need to know. No one needed to know couldn't hurt him, or me.
I went to a place I had seen people talk about on the Board, Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground. I got there and was met by a large castle in front of me. It seemed as though this field had no dungeon for one reason or another.
I walked in looking at the details in the fictional palace I seemed to have walked into when I saw a statue in front of me. It was a statue of a girl, maybe twenty feet tall. She was wearing a cape and her hair was about to her waste, long and seeming to billow behind her. The most astounding thing about the statue though was the chains that seemed to bond the life like statue in place, as though without them it would simply get up and walk away.
I stood there starring at it rather dumbly. It looked more like a person turned to stone then a stone carved into a person, even if it was much to large. I walked forward leaning over a railing that gave the statue the appearance of an exhibit in a museum and trying to touch one of the chains. They were just a little to far so I leaned out a bit more finally falling over the side and toppling head first. I rubbed my head. That had hurt. Wait how could that hurt, it was a game for crying out loud! I shook my head, I would think about all of this later, right now my head was starting to hurt to much.
I stood up and dusted myself off before walking to the nearest chain. I traced it with my fingers feeling the cold metal under my fingers, that was rather freaky. I traced it all the way to the stone girl, no longer really thinking of her as a statue. I ran my hand along part of the dress that she was wearing. I was utterly entranced.
I was startled when I herd a slight tapping echoing through the large room. I looked around for the source of the noise in vain, no one seemed to be in the room, then I looked back at the statue my eyes taking in its seeming life once again and was startled to see the cat from before on the stone girls head. I had forgotten almost completely about the cat figure once again, even though I had meant to tell Tech when I had seen him. It was as if My memory had lapsed until I saw it once again.
The cat looked down at me seeming rather amused witch confused me because everything about it's facial expression seemed the same as last time, yet somehow it conveyed a friendly and amused air. No matter what though the eyes were still extremely creepy though.
I shivered involuntarily. "Hello," I said.
It continued to look at me and then jumped down turning its head to the side in curiosity. I noticed that though it had jumped down it still wasn't on the ground, somehow it hovered about a foot above. This was getting weirder by the second. It glided around me coming to a stop in front of me after having done a full circle. It leaned forward staring into my eyes intently and then sniffed me lightly.
The cat leaned backwards again and sat in the air in front of me. Seeming to contemplate something. Maybe my smell? Wait this was a game how could I have a smell? Well probably the same way I could feel pain. Great now I'm talking to myself, this was just dandy. I was going to have a really big headache after this and I had only been here for like what, fifteen minutes. And I thought I could come here to get a break from things.
I floated up to one of the chains and perched there never taking its eyes of me. Wow those eyes were really creepy. It seemed to smile at me without smiling, witch once again confused me and then it waved before disappearing. Somehow I had the feeling I would see the strange cat again. The thought was both intriguing and disturbing.
I sat down were I was. That was confusing. I shook my head once more before leading. I needed to log out. Things were getting a bit difficult to understand in 'the world.'
I logged out and found that I had more E-mail, all from Tech. He was worried he wanted to know what was going on and he wanted to talk to me. I sighed. Things were getting much to complicated and confusing and I knew that sooner or later I would have to talk to him.
Sleep, sleep always makes things better. In the morning things would be less complicated, or at least my head wouldn't hurt so much. Yes sleep is a good thing.
