Monsters
Girl, what's come between you and me?
Look right through me.
I'll let it go.
I can't help this feeling anymore.
I won't go anywhere.
Maybe you'll see me.
"Drake," I yawned as I wrapped my arms around his shoulders. "Caine told you to be on the watch out for Sam."
We were at Piggyback Mountain on Caine's orders to be on the lookout for Sam. Drake dragged along two other Coates kids, since Panda and I were pretty much useless. Well I was tired and had to deal with a lot today, but Panda was barely able to drive, so he brought Louise, a skinny black girl who was another driver, and Chunk, an annoying Chinese-American, who didn't know when to shut up. Drake could've driven up here, but he was absolutely dead tired.
Drake's grip tightened around my waist. "Panda, Chunk, and Louise are on it. If they see anything, they'll call me."
"Mhmm," I moaned as my mind succumbed to the darkness of my dreams. Drake yawned into my neck, but I could feel him relax in my arms as he succumbed as well. However, the inside car lights turned on and I heard a thud followed by curse words and yelling, but I was too exhausted to even open my eyes. Soon, I didn't notice anything around me.
Ohhhhhhhhhh yeah
My eyes closed as that salty breeze washed over me, the sun beating down on my milky white body while I stood on the stern of the large white boat. Two arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me into sturdy body of his. His chin rested on my shoulder as my arm went around his neck, my fingers tangled in his hair.
There was no huge dome over the town; I could clearly see the beautiful blue sky, white fluffy clouds and that yellow glob burning high in the sky. It was a perfect day that I was spending with the perfect guy…well, my perfect guy.
"You know, you're going to get an uneven tan with your bikini still on." His breath was on my ear causing me to giggle. That rough touch of his on my smooth skin. I tried to smack away his hands, but the boy was eager. He suddenly turned me around to face him, his lips curled into a smirk. "I love you."
"Oh really?" I raised an eyebrow at him. "You love me or just my body?"
"Both," he smirked, cupping my face in his hands. I smiled up at him, his gray eyes drowning mine in more than just lust. However, just as I was about to say those three little words, the scenery changed and Drake was no longer in front of me. I fell onto the hard dirt ground confused.
Where am I? What happened? Where did the beautiful sky with the fluffy clouds go? Where did Drake go?
"Jessica," an unknown voice called out. "Come to me."
We are,
We are the shaken.
We are the monsters,
Underneath your bed.
Yeah.
Believe what you read.
We are,
We are mistaken.
We are the voices,
Inside your head.
Yeah.
Believe what you see.
I did and immediately frowned. There was only darkness ahead of me, but there was some kind of greenish glow up ahead. That voice called out to me once again. "Come to me, Jessica. I have use of you."
Slowly, I got up and did as it told me. I walked forward, my hands out in front of me to keep me from bumping into the walls, if there are any.
'Wait, why am I walking towards a voice that I don't know?' I wondered.
However, my body was not in control of itself anymore; it was as if I was a simple doll and someone else was pulling the strings.
Pain erupted throughout my body the closer I came to it. Suddenly, my body began to spasm and convulse; I fell to the ground.
"Do what I tell you to do, understand?" it asked. I simply twitched on the ground, pain spreading to the very core of my being; it was becoming unbearable and I wanted it to stop.
"Yes," the tears pooling in my eyes. "Yes, please, just stop."
However, the pain did not go away. The glowing green thing simply chuckled. "Now, I can't do that, you need to know that you're under my control from now on."
Just as I thought that, everything was over for me, that voice pulled me out of the darkness.
Ohhhhhhhhhh
"Jessica!" he yelled out. "Jessica, wake up!"
My eyes snapped open, but closed them because of the bright car lights that turned on automatically. However, the pain still pulsed through my body, causing me to scream and kick at anyone who got near me. Two strong grabbed me and pulled me close. "Jessica, stop it!"
"No, go away," I screamed. "Please, just go away. Get rid of the pain! I'm under your command, only your command."
"Dude, your girlfriend is freaking out," someone said in the distance. Yet, this didn't stop me from thrashing around in the backseat of the SUV.
"Shut the fuck up, Chunk," someone else yelled.
I felt some weight press against me, pinning me down, but this didn't help my pain lessen a bit. My body was still twitching because of the pain burning through my veins. However, my vision was clearing and I could make out Drake's face inches from mine. Those gray eyes were filled with confusion and frustration.
"Drake," I whimpered, "Please, stop the pain…it hurts so much."
It came as no surprise.
You bring me back to life.
Believe me.
You bleed for me,
I'll bleed for you.
I caught you walking through walls.
Drowned with applause,
From the world that makes me crazy.
"Where does it hurt?" he still held me down, but slowly got off. "Where does it hurt, Jessica? Tell me, who hurt you?"
Another wave of pain crashed over me, causing the tears to come faster and thicker down my cheeks. I let out another scream, but then, it all stopped when I heard that dark chuckle in the back of my mind.
"I'll be waiting for you" it chuckled.
Ohhhhhhhhhh yeah
However, the pain was still there, it was imbedded deep within me, forever with me awake or asleep. I quickly wrapped my arms around Drake, burying my face in his chest sobbing. At first, he didn't wrap his arms around me, but soon those arms clasped around me in a tight hold.
We are,
We are the shaken.
We are the monsters,
Underneath your bed.
Yeah.
Believe what you read.
We are,
We are mistaken.
We are the voices,
Inside your head.
Yeah.
Believe what you see.
Drake took me back to Coates, after calming me down and then spotting Sam. He practically traded Louise and me in for Computer Jack, since he thought that I was mentally ill now, and Louise was a psycho driver. However, I preferred a warm bed in a simple white oxford to the back seat of a SUV in a camisole and long skirt.
Moreover, the shirt smelled a lot like Drake, which was oddly comforting; though, not comforting enough to put me back to sleep. That green monster was at the forefront of my mind because he did have control of me now.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh
My finger gripped the bed sheets tightly as I buried my face in my pillow. It was almost morning, I was dead tired, but I was afraid of falling asleep. That thing could torture me in my own dreams.
What was it? Why was it hurting me? What had I done to it? What had I done to it for it to cause me harm now?
It just didn't make any sense. Then again, monsters never made sense.
We are the monsters.
We are the monsters.
We are the monsters,
Underneath your bed.
We are the voices.
We are the voices.
We are the voices,
Underneath your bed.
We are the monsters.
We are the monsters.
We are the monsters.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.
'You would know' the damn voice from the back of my head sighed.
"What do you mean?" I yawned, partially interested.
'Drake'
"Drake isn't a monster-
'Hah! Did you not see what he did to those poor children? Cemented their hands Jessica…" the voice sighed, as if disgusted.
"It was Caine's idea." I defended.
'He followed through though.'
"Because he had to," I growled. "Plus, they were disloyal-
It interrupted, 'Freaks. Just like you Jessica.'
"I'm not disloyal-
'So you reside your loyalties to Caine?'
"Not in a million years."
'Don't you think he might do something about that? Something Drake will have to carry out.'
"He wouldn't…" I said as strongly as possible, but doubt entered my mind.
'Are you sure about that?'
We are,
We are the shaken.
We are the monsters,
Underneath your bed.
Yeah.
Believe what you read.
We are,
We are mistaken.
We are the voices,
Inside your head.
Yeah.
Believe what you see.
That's when I heard the commotion. I sat up quickly in the bed realizing it was already morning. I jumped out of the bed, right on out of the room. I ran down the long hallway, only my footsteps echoed through the silent hall. However, the closer I was to the commotion, the slower I ran and the more quiet I became. After all, I didn't want to interrupt all that was going on somewhere that sounded as if it was coming from outside. However, half-way down the hall, I realized that all I had was the shirt, and my under garments. Well, is I'm sneaky enough, no one will see me…hopefully.
No one was in the main hall, letting me creep along quickly to the back, the commons area behind Coates. There were some of those very large extravagant windows looking out to the back, which allowed me to sneak a peek.
I looked out the window and recognized Drake right away, along with Caine and Diana; Drake was holding a gun to a blonde girl's head. I squinted shortly, but then pulled away. I crouched against the small piece of wall underneath the window confused. That was Drake with Sam, Astrid, her brother, Edilio, Quinn, and some other girl. What was Drake doing?
I took another peak and held back a scream. He was encasing their hands in cement.
We are,
We are the shaken.
We are the monsters,
Underneath your bed.
Yeah,
Believe what you see.
