My feet sink into the sand silently, the only sounds... the waves lapping lazily at the shore, the barest hint of my breath and my raceing heart. And although i was as silent as the wind i wasn't alone for long. From the corner of my eye i saw a dark silouhette melt into the shadows. Frozen to the spot my senses intensify until i could hear even the slightest rustle of a leaf in the almost dead breeze. my fingers inch slowly towards the knife concealed in my tights.
But i'm to slow,
I barely reach the lip of the pocket when i'm thrown onto my back, my arms pinned out to face either end of the beach.
"Who are you" an unbarebly familiar voice hisses. Something inside me Begins to crack.
Why did he have to be here?
"Jesus Nicholas can't you mind your own fucking business for once!" instead of sounding as broken as i felt, my voice practically dripped venom. Nicholas gasped.
"Lucy is that you?"
Well obviously
"No!" i spat, earning a quizical look. "No?"
"Lucy's dead" Crack "she died when she found your house empty and abandoned or have you not noticed the scars yet?" Nicholas's eyes immediately fall to my neck and then my arms. slowly registering each and every visible scar.
"oh Lucy what happened to you?" he asked his voice catching in his throat,
"God, don't you have ears... Lucy is DEAD! she died when they took her"
Nicholas was silent, so i continued
"You left her so they came for her and they took her. Used her, abused her until she was broken and souless, when the Helious-Ra found her she was an empty shell from which i grew"
Nicholas's grip on me tightened "you're Helious-Ra!" his tone made it sound as though i had personally hurt him...Good.
"Yes and as soon as i had graduated i tracked down the bitch that did this to me and made her pay" Nicholas looked at the scars then back at me " I tortured her just like i was tortured, then stole what was most precious from the souless bitch. Before driving my stake straight through her cold dead heart" Crack, Crack
His grip tightend some more, i smirked "Figured it out yet" Nicholas's face remanined blank. I take that as a no.
"Sniff in" i suggested his nose barely twitched and he was suddenly on his feet jaw wide open. "you, you took her blood" he whisperd... And bingo was his namo.
"correct, She was an ancient and you know how touchy they get about their pure blood so i bled the bitch. she was going to die anyway so i put two and two together and tadaaa... here i stand" Iept to my feet so quickly Nicholas didn't even see it comeing.
"Not a vampire but im no weak mortal either"
crack, Crack, CRack.
"So i'm tresspassing, I've gone beyond breaking the moral code though she did that a loooooonnnggg time ago the list goes on...What are you going to do?" CRAck
Nicholas's shock fades into curiosity. "why did you come here Lucy" CRACK.
And just like that my facade and the wall i'd spent the past two years building shatterd into a million shards of blood poisoning despair.
"Why the hell do you think i'm here Nicky" we both flinch "You left without a single word, I was kidnapped by a Sadistic Vampire who liked to throw royal slave eating parties. they broke me to the point where i couldn't remember my own name, i spent half a year identityless, my only coherent thoughts that you were gone and i was alone. Do you know what that does to a person?" Nicholas shrank back from my words.
"I can never be lucy again, i am forevever haunted with nightmares of ghosts you left me with, the things i've done, seen and been keep me on the brink of insanity" i'm litterally shouting now and have attracted an audience. Quinn stands there confused beside logan and conner who know exactly who i am.
"Cassidy?" Quinn asks i skake my head "come on quinn i always had my doubts about your intuition you aren't going to start proving me right now are you" He clicks and looks about ready to faint.
I turn back to Nicholas who looks damaged beyond repair,
" Where were you when i needed you, My soul is gone, i'm a freak of nature, unbalanced. and it's all your fault" I whisper letting everything i've been holding in come out inthose quiet words before turning and running the way i came had come. Silent tears colder then ice running down my cheeks. I almost make it to where i'd left Eli when a sharp pain blooms in the center of spine and the blackness consumes me.
