Natures Daughter
Chapter 19
"Cece?" Essence called, the name echoing in her head, nothing, awesome.
She breathed, fingering her necklace as she thought through what was happening, the lights had gone out soon after her and Cece began searching for the others and, to Essences utter shock and disbelief, Cece had been torn from her head. Essence was livid and in a panic, tears and rage clouding her vision. She fell to her knees, her hands instinctaly scratching at her skin, she couldn't breathe. It felt as if something had crawled inside of her lungs and died. Her heart was caught in her throat, blood rushing in her ears, thoughts jumbling together as sob after sob ripped its way viciously from her body, she couldn't move, if she moved then…, she didn't know, she just knew that she couldn't move, ever again, ever—
A scream, someone screamed, Essence raised her head, mascara tracks, black and smeared, distorting her face.
"Cece?" she called out quietly, "Cece?" her voice rose a little as she forced herself up with shaky arms onto even shakier legs, stumbling toward the female screams echoing through the empty hallway. Walking into tables and walls, disorientated and numb to the world.
The screams stopped though, and the lights flickered to life. Essence looked around numbly to see Chloe, crying, and a dead man, whoms soul was no where to be seen, the sickly sweet steanch of demons in the air, and no longer was she numb.
"What have you done!?" she growled through gritted teeth.
"I-I do-o-on't kn-now-w-" Chloe stammered, standing up slowly, her body visibly shaking.
"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!?" Essence bellowed, her vision was blurry again and it was taking an extreamley treamendous amount of energy to stay standing at this point. She blinked hard trying to see clearly. She could hear the sound of footsteps in her ears, someone was coming. Chloe grabbed Essence by her shaking arms and began to ran, 'Maby she can't hear them' thought Essence 'were running towards the people… I should tell her.' Essence opened her mouth to say something, but soon forgot why her mouth was even open. The walls flew by, white and blurry and melting together, nothing was making much sense, she needed to stop, stop running, stop seeing, stop thinking, stop breathing. Everything needed to stop.
And then it did. The running at least. Essence leaned against the wall for support, breathing fast and hard, "You've done it now," she began mumbling, " Mama's going to be livid, she's going to kill you Essence."
People, the people with the footsteps, they came, it was Tori and Simon, Chloe began talking, telling what had happened, leaving out of course the Demons she had let loose, And then Tori and Simon shared as well, Essence sat there, sat? when did she sit down?, listening but not comprehending,
"Tori found…not sure…jumbled…'bout us… others…Reaper…dead nurse…Golden Rose…Mother…out of here…" Essence tried to make sense of this information.
"Cece, Cece, Cece." Essence repeated in a chant, nothing else could come out of here mouth. This had never happened before, she hadent known it to be possible, her body ached, blood rushing in her ears and out her nose, she was drowning, being dragged deeper and deeper, the gold tinted blood pooling in her hands and soaking her clothing. Her vision was fading, her head was pounding, someone must have been clawing their way out of her. And it was then, as she lost her sight and blood ripped its way from her lungs, that everything clicked. She was dieing. Without Cece her body was deteriorating.
The Grim Reaper herself was about to be reaped. In one last fatal attempt to hold on to the world she reached blindly for her necklace, it was the last thing she felt before the world faded to black.
