Chapter start

Thing one and two are arguing, I can hear them from here, something about a basketball game, which is odd, because the season ended a while ago. Morning stalker is in the bathroom or at least he was, I didn't check. My friends aren't trying to bother me, which could be a good thing. Aphrodite knows, so she snuck into my room and into my bed.

Me?

I'm all but ten steps from the edge of school.

"Not this again."

I grit my teeth. I prepared a venomous remark, I did, but the only think that came out of my mouth was a yelp. My hands flew up to my face. She punched me! It throbbed like hell but I just looked at her. This would bruise; everyone would see it and know what she did.

"Shekinah is not here anymore." She spat and I felt a cold hand grip my heart. I ran, but she was faster, after cutting me off she went to punch me again, but I blocked it. I thrust my palm up aiming to hit her nose but she spun me by catching that arm. She twisted it and I let out some sort of pained sound I would never admit to.

"Where are you going?" She paused and smiled. I didn't answer. Evil little-"to see that boy." It wasn't a question. I struggled. She let go of me, took a step back and kicked me in the back. I heard it crack a few times and landed belly first on the grass. I rolled. I stood. Guess this biddy wants a fight then.

I tried, but she was ready for each hit and was quick to dish her own back. My face was on fire, my lungs burned and my stomach felt as if it just wanted to let me heave forever. I wasn't going to cry. I got one good hit in her side and at least that will bruise, I hope. She beat me. Literally.

The world became shaky as I landed again, and I grabbed at the grass to keep me steady. It didn't work. She stopped her assault and whistled and my delicate head exploded. Thankfully, not literally. I groaned and my voice sounded odd. My mouth tasted funny.

It wasn't my blood.

Nope.

Thing one and two were back. Were they watching the whole time? How could they still be on Neferet's side?

This time I was shoved onto a bed, in a nice quiet padded cell.

A sound proof cell.

"You can scream all you want, in fact I'd prefer it, but no one will hear you."

No one did.

…

Heath,

Answer me,

Please.

I don't know how long I've been here, but I'm hungry, and thirsty.

Really thirsty.

Heath…

I'm scared.

…

Heath?

I still can't feel you.

I'm so thirsty; I think she intends to let me die here.

Why aren't you in my head anymore?

…

The wall was soft against my back, and my head lolled as if my neck was putty. Moving hurt and everything just made me hungry or thirsty, or both. Sleep was no help, I would dream of a black night on a barren wasteland. It was cold and dark, and I was alone.

Just like I was here.

Heath was gone, Kalona was gone.

Nyx was gone.

Maybe it was just me that was gone.

Could be.

…

I want ice cream,

Heath? Can you buy me some ice cream?

Oh right, you can't hear me anymore.

Or feel me, not in a creepy way but feeling-wise.

…

The ceiling was whiter than usual, and my head felt like floating. My stomach was still empty and I still didn't have company. I can't tell if I'm sleeping or not. But I really want some cold iced tea right about now.

My stomach really hurts where she kicked me, breathing feels weird too.

…

Can anyone hear me?

If Heath isn't in my head who is?

Am I really all alone here?

I don't want to die.

I don't want to die alone.

…

This has to be a dream. I can get up and walk, everything around me isn't white and padded. I'm also in jeans and sneakers and a leather jacket. My hair was in a single ponytail, bobbing up and down as I moved. I can't do this anymore.

Suddenly there was a place in my dream. No light, no darkness, but I could tell it was the end. I needed this all to end. Escape.

Ha!

This is great.

I ran, ran as fast as I could to it.

I'm going to kill myself in dreamland. Will I wake up? Let's find out!

A cliff. A cliff makes sense, a threshold of life that I could choose to jump off of. I balanced on the edge. I wouldn't feel anything anymore. At this point it sounds great. Let's go to a far off land for a new adventure. Maybe they'll have cold iced tea. Oh! Maybe they have ice cream! I could feel something pulling me in, like wind. I let my hair whip around. I'm not going to fall. No, no. I'm going to jump.

Ready,

Set

But wait…

Doesn't anybody want me here anymore?

"Heath!" I shouted as I turned away from the edge. "HEATH!" No response.

"ERIK!"

"APHRODITE!"

I jerked my head back in surprise. Totally alone. No matter, that will be all over soon. But still, no one… Who else if not them? I turned back and let my toes hang off. I was going to lean forward and as my body went horizontal I would push off. The wind was fierce. I felt free, yet… no. No thoughts for now, just freedom. Flying!

Loren. Would I see him again?

Only time will tell, and gravity, if it exist here. On my tippity toes! And lean…. I started to fall, a smile working its way onto my face. A jolt of something ran through my blood and escaped my lips as a whisper.

"Kalona."

Suddenly I wasn't falling anymore. His hands grabbed my waist and then suddenly there was no cliff and water before my eyes, just muscled chest. Just pressure from the tightest hug I'd ever received.

"Oh my sweet precious Aya, don't leave me, never ever scare me like that." He went on and on, rambling, and I could do nothing but laugh.

Oh back and forth. I rocked. I laughed.

It would be him.

The giggles and roaring laughter could not be contained.
