Starry glass

Chapter Thirteen Trellis

I felt it. I was breaking now. this time I might never come back. I made a loud gasping sound and clutched my chest. it was getting worse. something was going on. Then I was pulled into a vision. This time instead of being the shard, I was a Star.

All my memories disappeared and I became the Star.

Elln was watching the horrific sight. There were so many people this time. Elln wished that they would just leave the Shards alone. They didn't ever listen to her though. Elln never had a voice in anything let alone things regarding shards. Elln didn't even know why they hated shards so much. It was like a twisted curse. They sighed if only they had a voice. It would make everything so much easier. Then Elln had a thought. What if they went down and saved all of the shard's friends and family. They almost discarded it immediately. Doing that would be a death sentence. If Elln went down there then they would be executed and killed right away. But then again. Weren't all of the friends and family of the shard being murdered down there?

Elln shook their head trying to convince themselves otherwise. But this was what they had to do. they knew it in their heart. Elln frowned, their lips turning downward. Then they flew down to try and save some lives.

I gasped awake out of the vision. I felt confused and betrayed. Why did I have to see that? If only all the Stars had been bad that would have made it easier. I made a hissing sound through my teeth. If only I was oblivious of the world like I had been when I was younger. Then I felt like my ribs were being ripped out of my chest. I bit down on my tongue and felt blood. I held onto my chest holding back screams.

I fell to my knees feeling the wet blood on my chest. I have died a million times. I gasped and felt my chest being ripped out. I wheezed and tried to keep my thoughts back into my head. I didn't know why it was so much worse than before.

I didn't feel like I was going to survive this time but I would try if only for Stella. I cared little for my own safety but if only for Stella's sanity I would try. I made a hissing sound though my teeth trying my very best not to scream.

Allen was not feeling well; he felt like he was going to throw up. He looked at the family that used to be alive and breathing but now all they were was corpses. Allen gulped and hesitated. What was he to do now? He walked over to what used to be his mother.

Her hair was matted with blood and tears. He felt his eyes burning as he crept up to her. He had never really been the kind to cry but this was just too much. Allen, for the first time in years he cried.

I felt broken.

After the last vision I was brung back to the night my parents were murdered. I gasped and again wept for the death of my parents. I truly didn't know what to do then.

So I cried myself to sleep.

I opened my eyes and I was back in Dwit's home. I slowly sat up still weary of the visions that I was worried would come to me even here. I made a gulping sound and pulled myself to my feet. As soon as I was up I heard Stella. Bounding down the stairs to meet me again.

"Trellis!" She yelped, leaping into my arms. I smiled and patted her head. She looked up at my face. "Are you ok?" I frowned.

"Am I ever?" Stella nodded as if this was the answer that she had expected.

"Well anyways," she told me "Dwits here if you want to go talk to him.." I pursed my lips but nodded. Dwit never really outwardly said it but I didn't think he liked me much. I sighed and glanced around looking for Dwit.

"yeah let's go.." I tried for a smile but I failed. I was still thinking of the horrible things that had happened to my parents. All of the sudden I was fighting back tears. I bit my lips if only to distract myself from the pain. I started breathing heavily but tried not to show Stella that I was not feeling great. I frowned and instead of trying for a smile I tried not to frown and cry.
