-Annabella Darkmoon POV-
Run. That's all that's going through my mind. Running is the only escape. I could feel a weight beginning to press down on my chest as I ran. All I have to do is make it to the willow tree. It's the only place that could ever calm me down.
I scrambled to reach its branches, climbing higher and higher, desperately trying to escape my reality. I place myself on a branch that's thick enough that I could lay sideways on it. The weight pressing down on my chest even harder, with each passing minute. I sit up, take in a deep breath, and focus on my breathing.
After a few breaths, I could feel the weight slowly being lifted off my chest. I evened my breathing and began to sing, calming myself even more.
Holding on your rope,
got me ten feet off the ground.
and i'm hearing what you say,
but I just can't make a sound.
you tell me that you need me,
then you go and cut me down.
you tell me that you're sorry,
didn't think i'd turn around,
and say.
it's too late to apologize,
its too late..
I drew in a slow breath, as the lyrics sunk in. The lyrics hitting me hard, as tears flow down my face.
I said,
it's too late to apologize,
it's too late.....
I ended the song, wiped away the few tears that still lingered on my cheeks, and managed a small sad smile. I shut my eyes and locked away the memories threatening to appear.
Opening my eyes, I hear Galaxy softly talking to me, "That was beautiful Annabelle, you have such a captivating voice."
"Thank you Galaxy, singing just helps calm me down when I feel my anxiety coming on." I lay my head against a branch next to me, a serene feeling washing over me. " I must ask though, why run to the willow tree?" I felt Mist and Dawn nod at her question, probably wondering the same thing. "I really don't know guys, it just helps me calm down and prevents another anxiety attack from reappearing after one has gone away. I just feel like this place is my home away from home, even though it's just a tree."
I feel them all nod in understanding, then recede back into my mind.
I hop down from the tree and start to head home. I can't take anymore stares..
When I arrive home, I change into black jeggings, a gray off-shoulder long sleeve sweater, my 'Nightmare Before Christmas' uggs, and a black beanie that says, "F*ck you very much". After changing, I made sandwiches for the entire pack for when they got back from school and set out sodas. I grabbed a sandwich, a bottle of water, and headed out into the forest.
"Why are we in the middle of the forest?" Mist asked. I took off my uggs, set them near a tree, sat down right next to them and answered her while eating my sandwich. "We are here because of two things. One, I don't want to face any evil cake face bitches or angry ass male pack members because I ditched school without getting their stupid nonexistent consent. Second, I am kind of shifting tonight, and I want to shift in peace even though I will probably be screaming my head off because I have to shift into all three of you. No one knows this place except for me, because they never bother to look for me when I disappear." I closed my empty water bottle and set it inside of my ugg, I absolutely hate when people litter.
-Nathan Nightwing POV- (hehe surprise)
I looked up and saw three girls walking towards Annabelle. "What are you looking at you little mute freak! Stop looking at Nathan and go kill yourself already!" Their words towards Annabelle caused my wolf, angel, and demon to become angry. (Yep, he secretly has a demon that no one knows about). "How dare they talk to Annabelle like that! Get them away from her!" Their anger quickly dissipates into sadness when they see hurt flash in Annabelle's eyes. She glanced at me, dropped her head, and walked away. I felt a slight tug at my heart at the sight of her walking away from me, which made me confused once again.
During third period, I went to the bathroom. I just couldn't concentrate in that class. So many questions were bouncing around in my head. Why did Damian, Night, and Dusk act that way? Why did their emotions change so quickly? Why do I care about what happens to Annabelle? Shes a murderer! "Don't ever say that about Annabelle ever again!" Damian growled out.
I was about to respond back when the lunch bell rang. I let out a deep breath and headed towards the cafeteria.
I walked towards my table, and sat down with all my friends. Some girls were here too but I wasn't interested in them, never have and never will be. Even though I am captain of the football team, I'm still a virgin, I saved myself for my mate, unlike every other guy sitting at this table. "Hey Nathan," Melanie purred. Are you kidding me, why does Melanie always try to seduce me? Her voice is so nasally and high. "Oh, hey Melanie..." I turned to face her, when Annabelle walked into the cafeteria.
When Annabelle walked in, everyone shut up. She moved with elegance, even though she was only walking, I could feel Damian purring in my head, I wonder why? She was about to get her lunch when she tensed, lifting her head up she looked around the whole cafeteria. Next thing you know, she's out the door, running like her life depends on it, and Damian, Dusk, and Night are lowering their heads..
====================================================
Yay, a Nathan POV! So yes Nathan does also have a demon like Annabella, but no one knows he does except him.
I also did change Annabelle's demon to 'Dawn' because, reasons. X3
And to clarify things about Nathan:
Damian = wolf
Night = Angel
Dusk = Demon
Hope you all loved the chapter, I absolutely love the way this stories going :)
