Feeling so alone
-Llyn
POV (unknown)
I tilted my head backwards, facing the heavens. The night sky was sprinkled with tiny, shiny dots. The moon rose, high and solemn. I felt the cold wind breeze blow across my face. I heard nothing but the rustles of the leaves. It was quiet and still; everyone fast asleep in their beds. I could feel my heart beating.
I had wished to be alone, with no one but the moonlight and my sorrows. Endless, sleepless nights. The clock's ticking stretched out to a ceaseless motion. Endless minutes and dead hours. Time, unhurried and lengthy, moved past so slowly than it should. The world so far away from me.
I closed my eyes. If I could listen carefully, maybe…maybe then I can hear her slow breathing, her heartbeat, and the sweet sighs she make when asleep. I sighed, opening my eyes.
I stared up. "I'm sorry."
Why must it be?
You separated from me.
I hear your heartbeat
The slow, easy repeat
Where are you?
I'm real sorry, too.
The night wind blew. I didn't shiver or even tug down my jacket. I felt numb. I was alone. It was my fault. I hurt her. I didn't want to, but I had to.
I sighed again, my breath visible because of the coldness. "I miss you." I whispered so quietly.
M2POV
I tapped my pen on my wooden table with the rhythm of the clock. Tick-tock. Tick-tock. It was so boring inside the Institute. Alec was out with his boyfriend Magnus. Izzy walked out earlier. My parents were in Idris, fixing some stuff for the Clave, and Jace was somewhere doing something. I was alone. No one, but a cat with me. Darn.
I'd read every comic book and manga that I bought in the airport last time mom and dad took me with them to Idris. I took a look at the clock. 1:53. Alec told me he'd be gone for a few minutes, maybe a half an hour, but not an hour and a half.
I stay alone
A quiet moan
No one here
But fear
I felt something slide between my ankles and feet. I yelped. My heart beat fast, it almost skipped a beat. I quickly looked down. There was Church. Stupid cat. "Shoo," I said. "Go away." But I didn't want him to. I was home alone and scared.
Where were they? Had demons attacked them?
I heard my tummy growl. I was hungry. And nobody was here to help me out. Alec told me not to go out alone.
I bit my lower lip. I stood up from the chair and marched to my drawer. I opened it and tried to find a bar of chocolate I stole from Izzy's room. There were so much clothes, I thought I'd never find it. Finally, after a few minutes of busily throwing clothes out of my way and a tongue out to the side of my lips, I unearthed my treasure. A Snickers bar! Yay! I will live.
I took off the wrapper, throwing it in the trash can. I hungrily ate it, tasting every bit of it. "Mmm…" I moaned smudges of chocolate on my face. My hunger already tamed, I was still lonely.
An idea suddenly formed in my mind. I grinned. Why not, right?
I scrambled to my chair and opened Alec's laptop. He let me borrow his, since he was the reason why mine won't work. The screen lit up. I clicked an icon on the desktop. Something popped open. I quickly typed in my password and username. I pressed the log in button. Ah-huh! I was in.
POV (unkown 2)
I turned the key. Click! The door was unlocked. I opened it.
No one was in the apartment when I came in. He was out. Huh. I went to the kitchen to stock up with the food I bought awhile ago. Something was clipped on the fridge. I pulled it off. It was a message, hurriedly written.
Called you. Didn't answer. Will be home at 5.
I sighed. I was alone for the time being. I could play Halo all by myself though. Or I could go out to. But I was too tired and stuff.
Silent sighs
Oh, the night dies.
Too weary
To be merry
I walked back to the living room, and slumped on the sofa. A laptop on the table in front of me. 'Hmm…' I grinned. 'He wouldn't mind.'
It was already opened. He forgot to turn it off. I rolled my eyes. Careless guy. 'Let's see. Ahh. Here we go,' I thought, still grinning. 'History.'
I wasn't surprised when I didn't see any porn on the list. He wasn't that type of guy. I scrolled down. From everything on the list, it was evident that he liked to search comics and band names. But there was one, among the many sites, he visited. Not daily, but often.
I clicked it. He had signed out. Ha. Signed out, but not turned off. Curiosity was getting the best of me. I didn't think twice before clicking register.
SPOV
She was seething in anger awhile ago, but now was drinking a shake I had recommended for her. Her face free from satisfaction. Her earlier rage now forgotten.
"You like it?" I asked, taking a bite on my well-cooked fries.
I usually didn't eat anything, but I wanted to make her company. I grinned in my mind.
She nodded, still sipping from the drink.
I laughed. She was elegant, majestic and graceful, never like this. "Sooo, what do you wanna do next?"
You were always so majestic
Enchanted and like magic
Oh, sweet beauty
Smile brightly
She frowned. "How about shopping? That works. Don't you think so?"
I laughed again. "Sure. Whatever you say. But first I need to talk to somebody. That alright to you?"
She nodded in agreement.
Kaelie, a fairy and waitress, went up to us and dropped in the rest of our orders. She was nonchalant. Didn't even give us a second glance, as if she didn't know us.
I shrugged.
We ate and got out. I knew it was rude, but I told her I needed to talk to someone. I took out my phone, pushing the fast-dial.
CPOV
Pain shot through my leg as I fell down the stairs. It was coming nearer and nearer. I had to get away.
"Agh." I gasped. Moving made the injury worse. I gritted my teeth and started walking again. I saw a flash of dark, slimy tentacles.
"Come hither, hither, pretty fly," it sang. "with a red hair and black tattoos."
It's voice soothing and scary. I wanted to get away. But it continuously called me, making its way closer to where I was. I bumped on a chair, falling down on my bruised leg. Pain was apparent on my face, but I never dared to try make a sound.
I hid under a table in the living room. I hugged my legs to my chest. Blood was pouring down from my injury. I hoped the beast had a clogged nose. No such luck though. I knew it'd sense me soon. I had to find help. But how?
"Come now, sweet."
My mind was getting blurry. My eyes now half-lidded. I was dozing off. Too much blood loss maybe. I touched my injury, I winced. I couldn't think straight. There was something about how it said it that I felt a strange pull inside me. All I wanted to do was do what it wanted.
Then it hit me. It was seducing me with its eerie voice to come be his prey.
The monstrosity slid one tentacle, destroying a bunch of furniture. It left slimy dark goo all over its wake. I started to struggle up, but something held me.
"Stand up," it's voice slithery.
I obediently stood up from my hiding place.
"Good." I heard it say.
Good. I was good. I was praised. I was not an untrained Shadowhunter, or a failer for a daughter, or a good for nothing girlfriend. I was good.
A slimy tentacle slid on the floor next to me. "Now come."
It stood in front of me, a few inches far off. It towered over me, maybe 7...8 feet tall. The whole of it was like an ugly, dismembered and stitched up together ensemble. Where the eyes were supposed to be were black, dark holes. No nose or ears. Its mouth was gnarled and edged with poisonous fangs. Mismatched arms -tentacles- were stuck to its side.
I walked towards its ugly form, barely noticing a flash of movement next to the closet. An arrow hit the creature, and before I knew it, it swayed from side-to-side, shuddering.
"AHHH!" it screamed."AHHH! NOOOO!"
The hypnotic trance now gone, I saw a shadow to my side. "Go back to where you came from, demon."
"You shall pay."
The shadow moved and another 5 or 6 arrows hit the demon with much precision, it was instantly killed. Not before giving off a final shudder, did it collapse and dissolve.
Everything was hazy now. My vision swayed and every color just blended in. A starburst of color hit me. I was dizzy and weak. "Come on now." I heard the person say, feeling arms around me. Heat emanating from the…room?
"Mmm.." I groaned. The person lifted me up.
"It's alright. I got you." The voice said, gentle and kind.
I smelled something burning. "We have to get out. There's fire, okay? Now rest. It'll all be fine."
I knew I shouldn't, but I did. I did believe him. Everything was gonna be fine. I closed my eyes, surrendering to unconsciousness. The black darkness sucked me into a state of dark oblivion.
Jace…was my last thought before blacking out.
What'd you think?
-Who were those people with the POVs? I bet you knew who some of them were. There were clues. ;)
-What happened on the last POV?
-Who was that person who saved her? Jace?
