The Monsters In The Night

Chapter 9

Raymond's Eyes Fluttered Open Finding Himself Laying Alone Merging Into The Silky Soft Blanket.

He'd Be Alone Once More His Eyes Scanning The Room For Ace But He Wasn't There.

Raymond Groaned As He Leant Up The Blanket Sliding Off His Body His Hand Elevating To His Neck Feeling The Small Bumps Along His Neck Where He Was Bitten.

He'd Get Up Quickly . Raymond Took His First Step Foward Suddenly Feeling As If The Weight Of The World Was On His Shoulders Stumbling Back His Legs Feeling Numb And Weak Huddled Closely To The Bedpost His Hand Pressed Against The Cold Stone Of The Pillar.

Raymond Slouched Back Down The World Spinning Infront Of His Eyes. His Attention Turned Toward The Desk Noticing A Peice Of Small Beige Parchment Layed Out Next To A Long Black Feather Quill Accompanied By An Ink Pad. Raymond Leaned Toward It Just Being Able To Reach,It Seemed Like Parkour For Him, Raymond's Eyes Scanned The Letter Reading It Word For Word.

''What Fancy Writing For A Prick..''
Raymond Scoffed Rolling His Eyes As He Continued To Read.

''Dear..Whatever Your Name Was.

I Have Gone To A Meeting To Discuss Urgent Matters..E.g. You. I'll Be Back As Soon As Possible, Also Sorry If You Woke Up Feeling Like Shit That's Normally The Result Of Being Bite First Time..If You See A Shadow Emerge From My Door Dont Scream It'll Just Be Me Or Someone I Sent. I'll See You Later"

-ACE VESPIRIAN AKA BOY<33

P. S : I Left An Outfit For You.

Raymond Scowled At The Parchment Tossing It Aside.He Felt Better Then Ever Ready To Get Out Of Here. Raymond Looked Across The Room Finding Himself Gazing At An Outstanding Outfit, Amazed By Its Elegance.

Raymond Stared Deeply Into The Mirror Looking At His Robes, He Thought These Clothes Were Old, Prehaps Ancient But He Didnt Seem To Mind As He Checked His Reflection Out Spinning On His Heels Checking Out His New Favourite Outfit From Back To Front , Head To Toe, Corressing The Deep Sea Blue Crystal Merged Into The Golden Ring Which Slid Perfectly On Raymonds Finger.

Raymond Peered In His Bag Which Layed Next To The Bedframe, Digging Deep Finding His Sketchbook And His Pencil Attached With A Worn Out Rubber On The Top. Raymond Looked Around The Room Cluelessly Before Dashing Outside With The Notebook In Hand.

''Wheres The Damn Entrance...-''

Despite Raymond's Skills And Best Efforts He Couldnt Find His Way Round,The Castle Bound To Its Mysteries.He Did Eventually Find The Entrance Having To Retrace His Steps Of Course, He Then Proceeded To Pull The Metal Handle Of The Door To Let Him To The Front Yard Which Left Him In Utter Silence His Eyes Glistening With Delight Finding This Trove Truly Sacred And Beautiful.

Raymond Strolled Across The Path Finding Himself In The Most Perfect Places To Draw,He Sat On A Bench In What Seemed Like A Secret Place To Hide Out, It Reassured Him It Had A Deep Undeniable Feeling, One Raymond Hadn't Felt Since His Mother Passed. A Feeling Of Love And Compassion, The Sense That He Was Safe, The Arouma Of Sweetness,But Of Course He Must Remember.This Isn't The Real World, The Real World Was Dangerous And Had No Guarantee Of Safety. He Set Out His Book On His Lap His Hands Moving And Doing The Work Of Making His Masterpiece, Zooming In On The Details Of The Rose's Tangled Before Him.

Raymond's Hands Pressed Softly Against His Pencil Which Moved On His Comand Smoothly Drifting Across The Paper ,Raymond's Eyes Glistening At His Masterpiece His Face Merging In A Small Grin Without Him Even Realising Just Happy He Captured The Rose's Magnificently.
