I'm sad. I seem to be the only person on here. I FEEL SO ALONE! Even D isn't around to cheer me up. I'll bet you anything she's hanging out with boys. So it's just me, a crummy internet connection and keyboard, and a pounding headache.
Disclaimer: I'm too lonely. I don't have enough connections to EVER own Darkest Powers. But, a girl can dream, right? *sighs*
Chapter 15 - CPOV - Demons
I stared, just stared at the girl before could all just be a messed up dream, right? I can wake up in bed and find out that my birthday isn't for four days, Chelsiey didn't get Derek, Derek isn't groveling for me to forgive him, I don't have this crazy, pyhsco party and I never meet her. But as I pinch myself, it stings like the dickens. And I don't wake up.
"I don't believe- how is this even possible?" I circle around her, checking her every inch from toe to the top of her head, as if I was an inspector. Apparently, she thought the same thing.
"Do I pass inspection?" she asked, eyebrows raised as I stood in front of her again.
"Oh my gosh, it really is you!" I rush forward and draw her into a hug, puling her close. She laughs, but hugs me back just as fiercely.
"Rae, I haven't seen you in forever! How did you know this was for me?"
She patted my arm. "All in good time, Chloe. All in good time. But," she slid a sly smile my way "I want to know about your dealings with Souza. Last I checked, you were still slightly uncomfortable around him."
I blushed. "S-sure." her smile widened.
"Great! We really need to check up, girl. But, after I hear Derek sing." I giggled and we walked out of the alcove.
Derek was already set up, just pressing play. I sighed. It didn't surprise me that this was the song he had picked, but it was allowed to bug me right?
When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the Saints we see
Are all made of gold
And when your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
And the blood's run stale
Annoyance bubbled within me, but something in me also purred. I tried to shove it away, but when his eyes snagged my gaze, I flushed and my heart skipped a beat. He began to walk up to me, his baritone voice, smooth and low, making me fall under his spell while his eyes captivated and held me. Something in me told me to stop him or get out of there, but it was shoved away.
I wanna hide the truth
I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside,
There's nowhere we can hide.
No matter what we breathe,
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
His hand reached out and snagged my shaky ones. He pushed the hood of my cloak away from my face, pulling me close as he sang.
When you feel my heat,
look into my eyes.
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close,
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
I glanced away from Derek to see Rae, her face in a broad smile a she tried contain laughter. I looked back up at Derek. Well, if it's a show he wants, it's a show he gets.
I pulled out f Derek's rms, but it was a struggle not to just fall right back into their warm embrace. I stepped completely out of his hold and turned away from into. I stood within the edges of the barrier the crowd had made around Derek as I watched him sing the second verse.
At the curtains call
It's the last of all
And when the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl
So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Will come calling out
At the mess you made
Don't want to let you down
But I'm a hell hound
This is all for you
Don't want to hide the truth
This time, he held his hand out for me to take. Hesitantly, I slid mine into his and I immediately felt his fingers wrap around my hand. They slid together, like two, perfect puzzle pieces as he pulled me back towards him. And this time, I sang with him. Don't ask me why, I know that it wasn't my best idea ever, but I did.
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
They say it's what we make
I say it's up to fate
It's woven in my soul
I need to let you go
I stepped even closet too him, and placing one hand on his cheek, he went completely quiet as I sang the next piece. I didn't realize until later that I'd gone solo until the end of the verse.
Your eyes they shine so bright
I wanna save that light
He joined in.
I can't escape this now
Unless you show me how!
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close,
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide.
He pulled me close and someone in the crowd shouted out,
"Kiss her Derek!" we both turned out heads towards the sound of the person's voice.
It was Caleb.
A giggle rang through the sudden quiet and we both looked to see Rae giggling.
"You know," she started, when she stopped laughing. "I think you should listen to him."
"Is that-" Derek began, I cut him off.
"Yup." The I brought his lips down to meet mine.
Okay, so I had thought for one second that that would be the end of the story. Then D just slammed the door shut, announcing her presence. When she saw me on the couch, she read the end and said...
D: we still have to deal with Chelsiey.
Toodles!
