Hey Peoples! Here is another chapter to 'The Darkness Within'. I don't know if anyone is reading this, but yeah, here is another chapter. Sorry that this is all a bit bland but i am trying to keep out the more darker aspects of my mind for fear of upsetting anyone who may read this. If you have any suggestions for me please comment or PM me :) I will hopefully get to the kidnapping soon.
I didn't sleep at all that night, I just sketched allowing the feelings that I could find no name for to appear on the paper in silvery strokes. My stomach ached with hunger, but I knew that if i ate I wouldn't be able to keep it in. I changed into some of the clothes I stole from the household, the shirt was incredibly loose on me and the pants needed me to tie up a bit with a hair tie at the side to stay on, I stuck a large hoodie over it all to make it look slightly more normal. I slung my backpack over my shoulder and stood up and begun to casually make my way out of the forest.
From there i made my way along the cracked pavement to the glossy shopping centre, I sauntered in hoping I didn't look too homeless. Suddenly I begun to feel rather self-conscious, People were starting to stare. The hairs on my neck raised as I felt the eyes on me. Soon I broke into a quicker walk, directing myself towards the bathroom whilst attempting to look calm to the casual observer.

I washed my hands and looked in the mirror my plain mousy brown hair was knotted falling in stressed tendrils around my pale face, which was covered in dirt and ashes that covered my coral coloured lips, leaving my emerald green eyes standing out looking bright and clean under my thick lashes. I splashed some water on my faced down tried to rub off the thick layers of grey and brown coating my skin I begun to splash it onto neck and chest. I soon rolled up my sleeves and scrubbed at my arms, it was although I thought I could erase the memory of the burnt of house through washing away all the ash.
Having scrubbed away the majority of the ash and dust I pulled my sleeves back down and begun dragging my fingers through my hair, attempting to neaten my plain looking hair. After having decided that it looked fine I sauntered out of the bathroom attempting to look as 'normal' as possible.
I lazily made my way through the shopping centre eventually entering a chain grocery store. I sauntered in acting as though i could actually buy something. I was really craving some chocolate and I mean craving it, like I fucking lurve chocolate! So I walked over to the confectionary Isle, which was filled with a vast variety of lollies and chocolates. I walked down the isle and with a quick look up and down the aisle I grabbed a Mars bar and placed it inside my jumper. I then continued to saunter down the aisle until something- no someone! Caught my eye there was a boy who appeared to be around 17 leaning against a wall, he wore a black hoodie with the hood pulled over his face and faded black skinny jeans which hugged his body in an attractive fashion, his skin appeared to be death pale from what I could see. Had he seen me? I could feel his gaze but he said nothing.
I continued to watch him until he looked up he had cobalt eyes and high cheekbones. Suddenly he flashed me a mischievous smile and his eyes seemed to glow a more brilliant blue for a second, but it was gone before I could be sure. I broke from his hypnotic gaze and walked away thinking about his odd combination of dark blue eyes, jet black hair and death pale skin.
