"I hate you!"
I ran off down the street, my vision a blur of varying colors trying to collect my feelings on the whole situation. He said that we were done, that we were over, that he wasn't feeling it anymore. How the hell could he say that to ME! In two days it would be our 2nd anniversary, I wasted 2 years on this guy but he couldn't care enough about me to wait the TWO DAMN DAYS! I hate this feeling.
I finally stopped, running out of exhaustion, and collapsed on the ground resting my head on the grass. Realizing I had no idea where I was I glanced around. There were a bunch of trees, but there were still a house or two around. Most likely I was still in the neighborhood. I mean it is Atlanta, Georgia where there are no lights, every house is like a mile apart, and it has the potential to be crime central.
"Hey"
I quickly turned my head to the right, scared out of my mind. First thing I see is this random girl with really weird, dull brown hair, but frighteningly bright purple eyes in a blue hospital dress leaning against one of the many trees surrounding me. How I didn't see her before is beyond me.
"Can you calm down with those widening eyes of yours. My name is Cara" she said
"Aren't you gonna tell me your name?"
"Not really. Your wearing a hospital gown" I said questioningly
"Oh great here come the questions. Well I wanna have fun, I'm kinda having a shitty day. So... why don't we play the question game?"
"What's that?"
"Great, you don't know how to play I mean you think you would assume by the name, but whatever. I ask a question, you answer vice versa. Piece of cake if you ask me."
I just stood there staring at her, wondering how she could be so nonchalant about meeting and talking to a complete stranger. Actually, how I could be so nonchalant about this whole situation. Regardless, I nodded and agreed to play this game out of curiosity about the hospital gown and those damn, mesmerizing eyes.
"I' ll go easy for this first round, what's your favorite color?"
"Yellow"
She started to laugh asking if I was serious and I just nodded lightly knowing what she was going to say. Absolutely NO ONE'S favorite color is yellow it's always pink, green, blue, or the occasional red, but never yellow. Looking at her I started to get annoyed at how amusing she thought this was so I asked her a question.
"Whatever I like the color yellow so what! What's with the hospital gown and those weird ass eyes?!"
She suddenly turned serious, already angry at the sudden invasion of privacy, but she couldn't possibly believe I wouldn't ask about that. What person wears a hospital gown? I looked at her once more and the mood turned grim just staring at those eyes. At first they were maddening and colorful, but now were about ready to torture me in every way imaginable.
"You wanna know why I'm wearing this gown?" she said with a little sarcastic slow twirl
"I'm wearing this gown because I just broke out of a mad house, not the hospital and you know what I was doing there, awaiting trial for........wait for it.....murder" a truly wicked smile plastered on her face
I started to back away as she started to walk toward me. She then slowly pointed to her eyes.
"I murdered my whole family, one by one, each in a different way. They called me a monster, a FRICKIN sociopath! The whole town turned on me even when I told them it was the blood, it was the eyes."
I finally found my footing and was about to make a run for it when she grabbed me.
"IT'S THE EYES!" she yelled
After she said that, I found all I could do was stare at those eyes.How they flickered in and out of sanity and if you looked even closer you could see that they flicker from a nice, serene blue to that maddening purple back and forth.
"Now you WILL understand! You will know"
She swiftly grabbed a knife from the inside of her hospital gown, cut her wrist and mine, and smashed both arms together as if they were kissing. She finally let go and as she ran off, her brown dull hair flopping in the wind, she started to sing.
"In the land of Gods and Monsters
I was an Angel
Living in the garden of evil
Screwed up, scared, doing anything that I needed
Shining like a fiery beacon"
My eyes started to change color and I could feel my mind slipping to a primitive, animalistic like state. I was consumed with hatred for the one who hurt me last, my ex. I started to play the question game, asking the questions in my mind and saying my answers out loud. As I skipped to my next destination this is what came out.
"My name is Vera."
"I don't know what has happened to me"
"But I do know that I like it"
".....I have decided I will kill him"
"I WILL kill him!"
As I yelled that final statement, I smiled a wicked smile and started to laugh knowing this was gonna be FUN!
