Please review, I would love to hear what you all think of this story and this chapter
Her eyes are wide as I see a frightened look, which crossed her face for a brief second as I see her crawling to the corner of the room. Thinking that I couldn't see her that she could just hide. It saddens me how shallow I have become, I shake my head not wanting to linger on the thoughts, which always seem to be there. Like they wont leave me alone.
I look back at Max, I still see him gasping for breath, I have to say I pity the poor bastard. After all, he got his ass kicked! I smile to myself, as realization hits me, that for once I didn't feel sympathy towards the man who has taken away my once pleasant dreams, instead left them to be haunted by an evil man. Who, I despise more then myself.
I turn around, not wanting to see the pathetic fool as I try to keep my mind off him. I look around Maria's creamy coloured room; it's exactly how I remembered it. She still has hippy things; I look on my right to see her table with little butterfly stickers, stuck on her table. I give a small smile, I see her cinder oil placed on the far end of her table. Just like old times, I think to myself, always using that crap, its funny, now that I'm looking back on it.
"WHAT the hell are you doing!?" The image of me demands, I quickly look up at me, only to see her with a cold stare on her face. I don't say anything, she would just dismiss my thoughts and opinion like every one always does.
"You said you weren't going to be weak! You said you would get your revenge and here I see you looking at all her hippy things!" she screams at me, if I had the energy I would of been scared, maybe even frightened but instead I shrug my shoulders. I look back at Maria's frightened figure; I almost have sympathy for her...until I remembered how she so easily dismissed my thoughts about Alex.
I see Max getting up, trying not to make any sudden movements as I shake my head and turn to the image of me. "So I don't have a soul either?" I ask her with a questioning look.
She looks at me, I can already tell that she wont willingly give me an answer, but the truth still lies there, untouched, maybe I don't want the answer, I think to myself. I repeat myself, "I don't have a soul either do I?" I ask, more then a little then annoyed. She gives me a cold stare.
"No you don't," she says with a fake smile, although I can already tell she is lying. "LIAR! Why do I have a soul? Is that what's keeping me from my revenge?" I questioned, needing to know an answer. "Yes, its what makes you weak!" she tells me simply. I nod, knowing that its the only answer she will give me.
I turn around to see Max glaring at me, hatred in his eyes, I smile as I punch him as hard as I can in the face. He falls back on the floor, this time I know he will be out for a while. I then turn towards Maria were she is huddled in the corner of her room, next to her pink bed.
I smile as I walk towards her and kneel down. She looks up at me with her big green eyes, it was evidence that she was crying, she still had untouched tearstains on her cheeks.
"Who are you," she whispers harshly, I look at her, anger rising, she cant even recognise her best friend I thought bitterly. Instead I smile at her, a fake smile as I reply.
"Your worst nightmare" I whisper, even more harshly then she asked, she stares at me, for a moment I thought I saw a flash of despair in her eyes. I shake the feeling off, not wanting it to haunt me like all my other emotions do.
I look at her, a cold stare as I see for once she doesn't blabber on, my thoughts are broken when I hear myself trying to say something. But I cant quite hear it, I turn around.
She sighs, "we have to go, sunrise is in twenty minutes" she tells me with an angry look across her face. I nod; I look over towards Max's unconscious body and back at myself.
"Do we bring him with us?"
"No we will leave him, just like he did to you" she gives me a smile, I once again nod, I'm following order from myself. I look back at the girl who I once called my friend, I look at her as I see tears running down her cheeks.
"Liz?" she whispers to me, as if I'm really going to have sympathy towards her.
I shake my head, "The Liz you knew died a long time ago!" I empathise the 'long' bit. I soon see fresh tears running down her cheeks, I shake my head once more. I stand up quickly and turn my back on her, just like she done to me all thous times I needed her.
"Don't dwell on the past, it wont get you anywhere, your memories are what make you weak..." I say trying to retrain my tears from falling onto my cheeks. I slowly walk towards her now broken window, as I have my last and final words to her.
"You might want to keep that close to you" I say as I point towards the cross, which was dangling on the side of her table. I then jump out of her window and walk swiftly towards the pod chamber. I see the image of me close by as she walks at a faster pace then me.
I walk, trying to leave my thoughts behind me but eventually they come bombarding inside my head. I hold my head in pain as im trying so desperately to block everything out, I look up to see the image of me.
I already no what she is thinking, from the way she looks at me, she is thinking that im weak and pitiful. She soon takes her eyes off mine as I see her eyes drift off to something in front of us. Curious to see what she is looking at, I let go of my head and look up, only to see her once again.
I sigh in defeat knowing that only one of us is going to make it out alive and it may or may not be me. I see her running towards me, she jumps and high kicks me in my chest. I lose my balance as I tumble on the floor, I don't have time to think of the pain as I quickly get back up and punch her in the throat. I use her weakness to my advantage as I kick low to her feet, I see her fall on the ground on her back. I take whatever chance I get to kick her in the stomach, to show her how it feels.
But I don't get to, as she grabs my foot and twists it, I once again tumble on the floor in pain. 'Twice! Why does everyone twisted my goddamn foot!' I think to myself angrily. I struggle to get up as I see Buffy getting up, she bend down and punches me in the nose. I cry out in pain but like always no one bothers to listen, she picks me up by the throat, I'm dangling by her hand.
I no there is no point of trying to fight anymore, its all over.
"Fight back! You cant just let this bitch win!" the image of me tells me, I have tears in my eyes as I try kicking her. But it only leaves me more breathless. I suddenly find myself on the floor gasping for breath. I instantly think about Max. I look up to find...my mouth is hanging open; Maria is standing in front of me, trying to protect me.
I then look over to were Buffy lays, struggling to get up from the floor. I have mixed and confused feelings inside, silent tears are running down my cheeks.
"Don't you dare touch my Friend!" she screams at the girl she just kicked, I look at her, although she has her back facing me, I can still feel how much she cares. I shake my head in despair, just stop thinking all together Liz! I scream at my self.
"You got 10 minutes until the sun comes up!" I scream at myself, I look over towards were Maria is standing, I grab her arm as I'm struggling to keep my balance. She helps me quickly.
"Lets go," I whisper as I drag her with me.
Before I even knew what I was doing, I see Buffy running up towards me as I high kick her in the stomach. "Weak" I spit out to her as I see her holding her stomach in pain. I look around to see my surroundings, I notice how boring everything looks, desert, dirt and a few trees but that's about it.
"I thought the slayer was supposed to be stronger then I vampire?" I say mockingly, she looks up at me in her crouch position, in hatred.
"It gets better," she says sarcastically
Yet I still don't know why she resents me this much, I shake my head, still holding Maria's arm as we start to run to find shelter in the pod chamber. Knowing that no human can get in, it is a safe house, for me anyway.
I quickly put my palm on the silver handprint, which appears on the rock, as I hear a rumbling noise, without hesitation I run in, dragging Maria in with me. I then look back to see the door close, looking like it's a normal rock. I look around to see the rocks which surround me, I then look up and its like a silvery huge rock above me, keeping the sun out. It all has funny writing written on almost every single space available.
"Why did you bring her!" she ask me angrily, I jump from the sound of her voice.
I glare at her, not expecting her to feel scared.
"Don't question me! Don't you dare! I've had enough, I'm sick and fucken tired of answering to questions with NO ANSWERS so leave me ALONE!" I yell at myself, not knowing were it all came from.
Maria looks at me, her eyes are wide as she stares at me.
I then turn to her, "And don't you dare.... Don't come near me" I scream, I take a few steps away from her as I sit in the corner of the Pod chamber. I fold my arms against my chest as I try to close my eyes. Trying to get away from reality, trying to block it all out of my mind, at least for a few moments.
