Chapter 7 Insight into Opal's life

Opal returned to her home, Nox was out for the night so she was left to her own devices. Which never ended well for her. Reaper was busy with work and so was Annie. Fellie was busy. Seasea was busy. Uncle Forte was working and so was Zaza. Opal looked around her home with a sad smile. Now that she was completely alone, not a living soul around her she could let loose the happy smile.

Walking around the dark hall, she didn't bother with the light switch as she entered the kitchen. Opening the fridge she looked around for something she could eat and would not take much time to make. Seeing a lot of food, she wondered if she was really hungry at all. Picking up a bag of grapes she washed them in the sink, leaving door to the ice box open for a dim light. Setting a small bowl on the counter from the cabinet she picked off the grapes into the bowl. Filling the bowl halfway, she returned the fruit to the fridge, closing it. She was shadowed with the darkness.

Walking over to her room, she finally turned on a light. The room had many things from Japan or had to do with Japanese culture. As she sat on her bed she ate her dinner, looking out the window which had no blinds. It gave her a perfect view of the moon at certain times at night. Turning over she petted one of the many stuffed animals in her room before flopping her head down on the cover of the mattress. She stayed that way for a little while before she sat up slowly. Moving a lot slower from how she was moving throughout the day. She turned on her computer ready to start working on her original stories or her fan fictions.

Taking another grape to eat from her bowl see half paid attention to it before something moved from the corner of her eyes, turning she saw nothing. Before she could bring herself to pay attention to her work when something knocked on her window. It made her jump a little as she looked out into the night. Frowning she went to youtube, ready to set up some songs to distract her from her surroundings.

After about an hour of music blaring out of her speakers she turned to look around her room. She felt uncomfortable, her normal escapes wasn't helping her paranoid mind. Getting up she paused her music and went to look around the house. Checking all the locks and doors finding them locked she nodded to herself as she reassured herself of her unnatural fear.

Thinking to herself, turned quickly to look at a dark corner. She saw nothing but the shadows, which seemed to scare her more. Quickly turning on the light, seeing nothing there she sighed as she wondered if she might start hallucinating again. Turning to the kitchen she went to the counter, getting out the pills her doctor told her to take if she needs to calm down.

She hated these pills but it gave her peace from her own demons. Normally she was to take them everyday but she was running out and the next med pick up was the following week, so she was trying to branch them out to last until then. Her family would frown upon this but she didn't know what else to do.

Taking the pill, she also decided to take her antidepressants as well. A frown on her face as she took them. It wasn't a secret that she has Relapse Depression mixed with Schizophrenia. The mask she likes to wear around others was only part of her personality but blown up for to be her own person. The dark side to her wasn't something denied but it wasn't something she was proud to share either.

Turning off the lights as she went back to her room, she got back to work while waiting for her medicine to work. Nox would be home late, so she would hope he remembered his key so she could go to sleep. Seeing that Reaper has come online she smiled sadly, her mood had hit the pits after her little mind scare. She told him about going to bed early, before she wrapped up all the stories she was writing in and turning off all the settings in her computer before the computer itself.

After the grapes were gone, she laid in bed watching the ceiling. Bring a small smile as she brought one of her many large stuffed bears close, she clicked the button to turn off the light. Ready to fall into the darkness for sleep to claim her.

Small insight to Opal when alone, she's not all happy and rainbows when there are no other eyes.
