Draco's POV
I got up from my bed and looked in the mirror. The shadows around my eyes had gotten darker from not sleeping, and I had become extremely thin from not eating. I picked up a picture of Allie. She was so painstakingly beautiful. I loved the way her golden blonde hair fell across her shoulders. I admired her bright sea green eyes. I held the picture close to my chest. It was eleven in the night. My mind started to wonder. Where could she be? I wonder how she's doing? Did she ever think of me? I started to panic. What if she was hurt? What if she was dead? I suddenly felt extremely light headed. I was near passing out. I sat back down on my bed, trying to clear my head. That would never happen. She was strong. She could take care of herself.
I laid back down staring at the ceiling. I loved her. She was the reason I wasn't eating. Thoughts of her kept me up at night. I turned over. I would see her again, eventually. What if she came back and didn't like me anymore? What if she didn't come back? What if I could never see her again? I started to hyperventilate. No, that wasn't going to happen.
Then I had the most dreadful thought of all. What if Jake decided he wanted Allie instead of Elysia? At that thought I felt a surprising surge of anger and deep hatred toward him. My hands clenched into fists. If he touched her I would take him to the Fields of Punishment personally. I smiled darkly. I suddenly was terrified of myself. I had to calm down. I couldn't let my emotions take over. I gasped. I suddenly realized she had complete control over my emotions. She could change my mood from happy to angry to desperate in a matter of seconds, and she didn't even have to actually be here.
I closed my eyes. Pictures of her flashed across the darkness. I felt a longing to be with her. To see her face. To hear her voice. To hold on to her and never let go. I shot up off my bed and walked to my fountain she had set up for me. I pulled a drachma out from my pocket and threw it in.
"Oh Iris, goddess of the rainbow, show me the face of the one I love." I whispered.
An image finally appeared. A dense forest and straight in front of me, Allie. She looked so peaceful. She was alive. I felt happiness swell inside me. I smiled. Then she moved. Her breathing quickened, and her hands clenched. She moaned. I began to panic.
"No, please stop." Allie murmured. Her eyes opened wide with fear. She screamed, then quickly put a hand over her mouth.
"Draco," She asked. "Is- is that you?"
"Yeah." I told her. She stared in disbelief.
She suddenly sighed with relief. She started to murmur to herself. It sounded like he's not dead. Then her gaze suddenly fell back on me. She seemed to analyze me before tensing up again.
"Are you okay?" Tears filled her eyes.
"Yes," I lied. "Why do you ask?" I was confused. Shouldn't she be happy to see me? Why did she look so upset?
"You don't look okay."
I looked down at my hands. They were shaking. I wasn't okay. I knew I wasn't. I would never be okay until she returned.
"Oh Draco," her voice was filled with guilt. "What have I done to you?"
I felt pain from deep inside me. A sudden self-loathing. I hated to see her like this because of me.
"Draco promise me something." She said.
"Anything."
"Promise on the River Styx you'll stop doing this to yourself."
"I promise on the River Styx." I replied to her. She seemed to relax a little. A dark figure in behind Allie caught my eye.
"Allie, look behind you!" I yelled. She spun around and gasped.
"Jake, Elysia!" She yelled. Two other shadows moved. I heard Elysia yell. I saw that it had glistening fangs and way more than one head. I started to panic. The monster attacked Allie destroying the Iris message.
"No!" I screamed. My heart pounded against my chest. I had broke out in a cold sweat. Nausea hit me and I doubled over, taking deep breaths to avoid throwing up. I made my decision in a split second. I was going to find her. No matter what.
