A Cursed Blessing

-Starless night-

(Sorry if my plot is to slow or to fast)

————————————————————————

I seem to snap back into reality. My feet hurt and I've walked way to far into the city. The buildings look worn and some even vacant. I go to check my phone but it's dead. I should've put it on low battery mode or something and all the music probably didn't help. I take off the headphones not even sure how long they've been silent. The heartbreak from earlier feels numbing now. I'm feeling lightheaded but I don't see a bus stop nearby. I turn around and start walking back hoping I'll find my way somehow. Did I take my vitamins this morning? My doctors probably hate me, they do all they can to help me with my deficiencies and I don't even take my pills half the time! After a bit it feels like I'm seeing glitter, then the black splotches close in and I feel the falling before my brain shuts down.

I don't know how long I was out but I wake up in an unfamiliar place. It's a dark and an abandoned building I assume I quickly sit up in a panic but I steady myself immediately after as my vision threatens me again. I see a cloaked figure with snake like yellow eyes that almost pierce the dark. I immediately assume a villain. I back up my heart racing and yell at them, "Get away from me villain! Get away!" They quickly cover my mouth with a strong course hand. "SShut up." They say, lingering on the S but their voice is also deeper. I try and yell trough their hand, muffled stuff about how they can't kidnap me. They sigh and say in an annoyed tone, "No, I'm not even trying to do anything, your yelling just givess me a headache right now." I just stay still for a moment I don't know if I should be afraid or insulted anymore, but I go quiet so they let me go. I glare at them, my eyes a dark grey in this lightning. They slip their hood down, their skin is pale but also greenish, a few scales littered here and there. Their hair falls neatly down their back, it's black with green streaks as well. They look at me and then speak, "Yess I'm a 'Villain' but i'm not here to hurt you. Frankly I helped you, did you want to sstay passed out there on the ssidewalk. Who knowss who could've gotten there if I didn't." I realize there is some truth to their story, but a villain wouldn't save me for nothing in exchange. I open my mouth to yell at them again but they cut me off, "Come on let'ss get you to Althea so sshe can check you out." I sit there still, and a bit perplexed. They glance back "I can help you walk if you need it?" They sounded almost kind but I shook it off and walked after them, my guard up and eyes keen. I see a shaky light hanging from the worn ceiling of the room we enter. A smaller figure looks up at me their eyes reflecting the light like how an animals eyes would. They beckon me over and the snake like woman leans against a wall. I walk over but I try and look certain of every movement. Up close their eyes are a deep reflective brown, their skin tan but in a dusty way as if they haven't seen sun. They speak in a small and kind voice, "Sit please, I just need to check you for a concussion and make sure that scrape you got won't get infected!" I sit but I glare at them, they flash a light in my eyes and I squint as they check them. I look at their hair, it looks like it should be curly but it's frizzy tangled and short. I look back at them as they as me a question, "Can you tell me your name, age, and your favorite color?" I make myself look annoyed but I'm really just confused, I respond sharply, "Nouvel Hada, I'm 15, and I like Blue." They smile awkwardly at my tone and fiddle with the flashlight, then seem more childlike then villainous. It's odd, I watch in silence as they check my knee which I've just noticed is bandaged. They apply some medicine and I forget to not let my confusion seep into my expression. One villain is just silently watching and the other is treating my injuries?... I don't hear anyone else here. I open my mouth to speak when I see a cat, it's a small thing. The cat rubs against who I'm almost certain is Althea. It's a fluffy looking grey cat with piercing green eyes and honestly it's cute. I comes up to me and rubs against me. I must have not hidden my surprise as Althea starts giggling. I feel my face get warm and I just feel more annoyed from that. I pet the cat back with an angry face, they enjoy it way to much. Althea smiles and whispers, "That's mold. He's sweet." I'm a bit taken aback at the name but then again I don't meet many cats with normal names. Suddenly Mold's eyes narrow into slits and he hisses towards the ceiling. I hear Althea worriedly asking what's wrong but I block it out as I hear many loud voices closing in. Then, I hear the crash.
