The Outcasts

Lovestrucked

[Jessabell's POV]

July 5,2032

It's been months since I've seen Damien and his friends. Well up CLOSE. I saved them from Garrett,they only received minor wounds and should be well healed by now. Damien was right about it all. I knew it before he even told me. I just always tried to convince myself. I was weak. I've always been weak. I've never felt so lost. Damien set me straight. I'm so afraid of him yet so captivated I can't but think about how his eyes stared through me. I was so afraid to talk to him at first. I had heard stories from the scientist that worked  around me. Always called him a "monster" or a "freak"  I didn't see a monster. I saw someone trapped looking for a way to escape. It's been awhile since we all escaped into the First Class region. There haven't been any signs of those people. I sure hope they don't start looking for us anytime soon. I've grown accustomed to seeing him and his friends. Seeing them all  happy. Sometimes when I study Damien I see so much darkness coming from him. It's only a matter of time before it all consume him from the inside out. Then he'd be like the rest of the corrupted.  I don't want that to happen. and I know he doesn't want that either. So,maybe if I try I can cure him somehow. And we can live together..

I walked slowly over to their apartment where I made things nice and cozy for them to live in. I think it's about time I see them. I'm sure they have questions. Slowly I rang the doorbell when a very sleepy looking Damien came out. His hair was all a mess. He must've gotten up. He looked around slowly and looked right at me. His eyes staring into me. He squinted then rubbed his eyes. "Jessabell?.." Hearing him say my name made me blush. "H-hi.." I barely managed to get the words out before he pulled me into his embrace and hugged me tight. I have never been held before.. He pulled  me away and stared into my eyes. "I thought I'd never  see you. I thought they ha killed you" Before I could speak  I heard an angry voice come out from around the corner. "What the hell Damien! Why do you always have to get up so early and wake me up? Gosh Darn Diddly..fuck!"  I giggled and covered my mouth as the  boy looked at me then he placed a hand on his hip. "Who is this?" Damien just shook his head. "Good Morning to you too,Dem. This is Jessabell" dem's eyes got wide and he looked me over. "Hey! I know you! You're that  girl that brought us here!" Damien eyed at him "And why did you not tell me this?" Dem shrugged "I did. i just didn't know exactly WHO she was, okay? Gosh" Damien grabbed my wrist and lead me to the couch and gave me a  questioning look. "So? Where have you been all this time?" I nervously covered my hands with my long sleeved shirt. "I've been living across the street.."  Dem sat next to me placing his arm around my shoulder. "So girly, dontcha have the hots for Dam here? He sure has the hots for you!" Damien glared at him. He's so cute like this..Damien looked at me and said "Sorry about Dem,he's to gay to function.Especially with all his-.."  "Okay! Okay! Enough already" Dem stormed off back to his room leaving me and Damien alone."I'm sorry Damien.. You must have a lot to ask me about" He shook his head and sat next to me. I could feel my heart racing as he stared at me. "I was more worried about you. Can you stay with us Jessa?" I stayed silent before I nodded. He wrapped his arms around me laying his head on my shoulder. "I may need you again so don't leave" And so I decided I would remain with him and his friends. They have no idea what battles have yet to come. 

[Back To Damien's]

Jessabell came. She came. I couldn't believe when I saw her. I knew I always sensed her presence I just never knew where she was. And now she's here. I didn't really know how long I have missed her. I haven't seen her since the day we met. I knew instantly when our eyes met that I was going to fall for her. But it's not safe. Even if she is who she is. I'm still falling into corruption. None of my friends are safe. Yet they stick by me like glue. Hopeless fools. I layed there staring at the ceiling while listening to Jessabell sleep. She's been staying with us now. She said she's stay and help us. I just don't know how long she might stay this time. I tossed over and stared at her back. Looking at the way her hair fell over her shoulders.She slept peacefully. She wouldn't sleep so peacefully if she knew what a monster I am, I slowly closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

"Damien.." I knew this horrid voice to well. I opened my eyes to see myself as a corrupted. He still looked as grotesque as before. "What do you want this time?" the corners of his mouth turning into a smile. "You're a monster. You know you can't keep this up. You'll have to let me out sooner or later."  I stared at him. "Let YOU out? What do you mean? his smile only got bigger and more distorted. "Don't you know that i'm apart of you? It's only a matter of time" He slowly disappeared.

And the words stuck to me. It's only a matter of time.
