Well, This Bloody Sucks

It Has Begun

As I stumble through the cloudy darkness, I notice a mirror not so far away. Feeling intrigued, I venture towards it.

"We will soon meet again." A voice calls out, although I don't recognise it.

"Now...you must awaken now."

I walk closer towards the object and I don't meet my face as expected.

"Cordelia..." Somehow I manage to echo the words of the unknown entity.

The lady simply smirks and stretches out her gloved hand towards me. Her hand somehow makes its way to my heart...and squeezes.

.o0o.

I wake up suddenly, clutching my chest and breathing shallow breaths. I seethe in pain as my heart acts as if Cordelia is still clutching it in her hands. I hated it.

I sit in my bed taking deep breaths trying to ease the pain. It doesn't always work, but everything deserves a try doesn't it?

After the pain ceases I start my boring routine of getting ready for school; making sure that I have all of my books for today's classes and such. After the final check, I look at the time.

"Good God, I woke up early. " I had another hour and a half until breakfast. These stupid nightmares are making me wake up early...or late...you know what I mean.

"Well, I'm off for a walk." I leave my bag on the pink bed and make my way to the door, praying that I don't get lost, again.

.o0o.

"Goddam, it's another full moon." I say to myself as I walk along a lake that I managed to find. I rub my arms a little bit as I remember what happened the last time there was a night like this.

I'll be fine. I think to myself as I twist my rosary in my hands. You're with me, after all.

I read the engraving on the back one more time.

I'll be watching over you; always. -Melissa Lampton

I love you too mum.

I must've wandered for more than expected, because next thing I knew, I was in front of another abandoned building.

How many abandoned places do you need to have around here?

"Ok, Eliza, you have two choices: go back to the mansion where it's mildly safe, or go into the creepy abandoned building."

After weighing up my options I make a decision.

"Well, I bloody got this far. I might as well go in."

Is it a bad decision? Probably. But then again, I'm living with six vampires. See the logic?

I venture into the building, only to be greeted by a couple of bats.

"Bloody hell!" I thrash my hands about, trying to get the bats away from me. "Stupid, stupid bats!"

"Oh, be quiet." A tired voice rings out. However, the bats seem to obey and leave me alone.

I walk further in to see Shu sitting casually with a music book resting on his knee. How do I know it's a music book, I hear you ask? The front cover literally says 'Music'.

I know. I'm so intelligent.

"Do you want something?" He asks without taking his eyes off of his book.

I think for a moment, wondering if I should share my predicament with him. Finally deciding to confide in him, I answer, "Well, I'm pretty sure that I'm in need of a pampering day. I need someone's opinion on whether I gained weight or not since I ate that massive grilled cheese sandwich yesterday and also there's that biology homework that I really don't want to do."
