Lost and Found
Her beauty astounded me, she was like an angel. She had a face that made my heart jump into my mouth and I could feel my cheeks become red. I quickly stood up to help hide the fact that I was shy.
"Who the hell are you and what do you think you're doing with my CD player?" She wasn't angry but she seemed to be quite quiet which shocked me as Ben had told me she was tough and I expected her to be covered in scars and war wounds if she was a fighter like Ben as he had scars that covered his face. I waited hoping that Ben would come and introduce us but I knew he wasn't coming anytime soon and I had to swallow my shyness and just talk to her. "It shouldn't be that hard" I thought to myself but as I opened my mouth I felt all the air be sucked out and I was speechless again.
"My names James." That was all I managed to say before I felt my heart try and leap through my mouth. I don't know why I felt this way but I knew it had something to do with her and my blood. I clutched my chest where the scar was, where it had hurt so much to touch and to my surprise all I felt was the deepness of the cut and the dry blood. I thought that there was something wrong until she walked further into the room and my heart tried t leap forward towards her.
She had begun to blush and she sat down on the bed.
"If you want to play a CD you have to move you hand over the little panel to make it play." I looked at the panel then raised my hand. The CD began to spin instantly in the little indentation that the CD had sat in merely minute before. It began to spin more and more until it raised up from the player and floated in mid air. Light flashed from the corners of the player and the light all converged on the CD until it formed a person standing on top of the CD. I recognized the immediately, it was Amy Lee from one of my favourite bands ever, Evanescence. I sat there watching the character move and then heard music come out of nowhere all around the room.
The room blared into life with music and lights everywhere. Soon the small image of Amy had begun to grow and was met with some more members of the band. I just sat and stared in awe at this sight as I had never seen it before and I was wondering where it had come from. I turned around and looked at the girl who was sitting barely inches away from me. I jumped back as she had moved closer while I was staring at the image and she was only a few inches away from me and I could tell that from my reaction she had scared me.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you it's just you put on my fave holo-vid ever. I love Evanescence." I could see her face more clearly now and she still seemed to be unscathed. She looked beautiful especially with her lusciously long hair, which still seemed to cover part of her face. She had a smile on her face that made me blush like crazy, it was a sweet and small smile but I felt almost compelled to blush when I saw it. "Oh and I never said my name. It's Rose and I know who you are I just don't like being crept up on since… well it doesn't matter as long as you know and don't do it again. Thanks." She smiled again and I felt my heart rise quickly and I think she even knew what was happening inside me. She seemed to be able to look inside me almost like I could look inside other people. I looked at her and started to see through her flesh. I could hear her heart beating above the music and there in the middle of her chest was it, beating fast than it should have and as I carried on listening I could hear another heartbeat but this one wasn't the same and I didn't seem to come from anyone. I looked around the room and could see no one and I realised it was mine. I moved closer to her and she moved closer to me until we were inches apart. I was now looking at her face which was now fully revealed and looked even more beautiful than what I had originally thought. She looked astounding and every detail of her face seemed to have been made perfect. I felt the two beatings in my ears become closer and closer to each other until in the end I could only hear one beating of the two. She smiled when this happened and so did I. We moved closer and closer until our bodies were touching each other and carried on moving until I could feel her hair brushing against my face. I looked into her deep blue eyes and she looked back. The beating became louder but it seemed neither of us were bothered by it and we carried on moving until I could feel her warm skin touching my face.
The door opened slowly and she quickly turned to face it and so did I. It was Ben he was standing there holding two large suitcases which were packed to the brim and both looked identical to each other.
"Oh. Sorry I should knock. I'm not interrupting anything am I?" Ben took a single step into the room and then looked at the hologram now floating above our heads and smiled. "Ah I see you've found a holo-vid. Do you like it?" I nodded and the girl looked at me and quickly turned before I looked at her. "Oh sorry I haven't introduced you two yet."
"It's ok Ben I've already told him my name and I know who he is and what he is and don't you worry we'll get along fine." She smiled and walked over to the player and turned it off. I stood up and walked over to Ben placing my hands on the two bags.
"I see you two are getting along fine. Her last roommate was normal and, well let's just say he has gone off women permanently but its ok she seems to like you by the fact she hasn't throw something across the room after I told her about you. She seems to have a sixth sense for people." He smiled and released the bags into my hands. He looked towards Rose and blew her a kiss, which she returned with a scowl. He ran through the open door and disappeared around the corner. I turned and looked at Rose.
"Has he always been like this or is it just because I'm here, or is it you?" I chuckled and looked towards the bags that were pulling me down the ground. I flung them onto the bed barely inches away from Rose. She looked in shock and smiled at me.
"So you are a hybrid like me then. I've never met someone who smelled so much like them yet smelled so human." She smiled and started to open one of the bags. I started opening the other bag and fell to the floor. I could feel the wound starting to bleed again and I looked down at it. The blood was seeping through my shirt and I saw Rose's face. It was pure white. She had her hand held over the scar and was pushing it hard. I felt the urge I had when the nurse had touched it. The lust for blood, the warmth of human blood trickling over my mouth, a memory of then. I started to smash my head hard against the floor trying to rid myself of the thoughts of even harming her. Suddenly the pain stopped and the blood began to trickle back into the cut where it had originally come from and left the skin bone dry.
"Damn. That hurt like hell." I sat up and Rose flung her arms around me tight. I could feel her skin touching my own.
"What the hell was all that about." Rose looked up at me and smiled. "Is there something wrong with you or what? It was like you were having a fit but I could feel something even deeper than that within you. Like you were fighting a battle against yourself. Do you want to talk about it?" She pushed her head next to mine and I could feel her warm breath running all over my face.
"Well if you want me to tell you I will but I'll warn you. It's not a pleasant story." She looked into my eyes. I could see her crystalline blue eyes staring deep into me and she chuckled.
"If you wanna tell me then sure, go ahead I don't think anybodies story is pleasant especially people who have been bitten and then had to try and live a normal life again." She smiled and placed her hand on my shoulder.
"Well it all started over ten years ago but really my family history started millennia ago. I'm like you in a way I am part demon but also not truly a human either, as my parents were both descendants of angels." I looked at her face and could see that she was slightly shocked by the mention of the word angels. I chuckled. "Well I guess you also believe in the prophecy about how someone of demon blood would kill the overlord and because I am part angel, my blood must be purified so I am a full demon and only I can do it as the weapon that will kill him can only be wielded by someone who was born from the light. And that is me because I am the last true angel on this planet." I sighed and looked towards my feet. I felt her hand brush against my cheek and lift my head up.
"Smile as that seems to be the only thing we can do in times of true darkness. But if you don't mind me asking. How are you going to become a true demon and retain your sanity when all true demon are nothing more than mindless puppets that want to hunt and kill all life." I looked into her eyes. Even though they were crystal blue they seemed to have a flame in them, a light of pure white. I stared at it almost in awe. She looked so beautiful yet she seemed so strong and hard but I could tell, almost like a whisper in the back of my head that she was, underneath all that tough exterior, a pure hearted girl. I felt that urge to feed but this time it was not as powerful. I bit my lip and could feel my mouth slowly fill with my own blood, which seemed to quench my thirst.
"As you we born from light you can keep your mind intact. You will be in blood a demon but in soul and spirit you will always be an angel. Tell her that, she knows how you feel and knows that pain you are going through, let her help you." I looked into her lit up face and told her what my mothers voice had just said to me. She seemed fascinated with what I had to say. I smiled at her and looked into the bags. It was full of clothes. Mostly black clothes which were made of a fabric I had never seen before.
"Um, do you know what this stuff is for because it looks like something off a porn movie." I chuckled and looked at Rose who was laughing as well.
"It's an undergarment. You put it under your clothes and it's like a suit of armour under your clothes and it doesn't weigh that much." She placed her hand on my hand which was clutching the side of the bag and smiled at me. "You're a really nice guy James and I'm sure that you'll fulfil your prophecy and hopefully help everyone here have another chance at life." She moved closer to me clenching my hand tighter every moment she looked into my eyes. I felt as though she was looking into my very own soul, my tainted soul which would never be cleansed. She moved her head closer to mine and moved her hand over my shoulder. I moved my hand up her body until I reached her neck. I moved it around her neck until she suddenly pulled away. She moved her hand from around my neck and looked away from me. I felt like something was wrong or I had done something to her until she turned around and smiled at me.
