Strange

losing hope

First of, I AM NOT DEAD!!! And second, I'm so so so so sorry I haven't updated in FOREVER!! I just had such a big writers block! I didn't mean to leave ya guys this long!! Also the image above has nothing to do with this chapter, besides there being chess played. but other than that, I found it cute so I used it!! (warning, there may be quite a few P. O. V. Changes throughout this chapter!)

Beth's P.O.V. (The weird girl watching Claire) -

I was watching the girl when suddenly she vanished. And I mean literally, not figuratively. One moment she was kinda just standing there then she was just. . . Gone. Oh God, their going to be so angry!

I stood swiftly to my feet and began to carefully go towards the house to check out what's going on and if the mutt had vanished too or not. Not smelling, hearing, or sensing anyone inside I carefully walked inside to find nothing at all. It was almost like they hadn't even been there just minutes before.

I quickly ran out the house and began the long journey back. Hopefully they won't kill me!

Devin's P.O.V. -

Dammit! This girl is good at chess. She's already beat me at two games and that means I only have one more try or I'll very likely lose Claire. And I can't lose Claire. The girl just sat there grinning from ear to ear, kinda like that cat. Ceaser I think it was. Creeped me out how innocent but evil that smile looks.

I tried to hide the glare I was giving her as we played the third game. Her grin only seemed to grow as time went by. I'm surprised her face hasn't split yet. Hopefully the plan I've been setting up works otherwise I'm most likely going to lose this game. I can't lose, not if it means I lose Claire.

?????? P.O.V. -

I hummed softly as I watched one of the weird men in masks put Miss Claire on a table and set her up for the process. I giggled softly as I remembered how innocent and naive she was as I talked to her. She is almost the same as she was before, but . . . there was something definitely missing and with her gaining her past memories I'll be able to figure out what it is.

I don't like it very much when I don't know something. It makes me feel left out and I don't like being left out. I then began to sing the song I was humming out loud.

"London bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down.
London bridge is falling
My fair lady where are you now
Cause London bridge is falling

Build it up with blood and guts
London bridge is falling
But blood and guts may wash away
All gone before morning

Build it up with blood and bones
London bridge is falling
But blood and bones won't last alone
They'll crumble away before morning

London bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down.
London bridge is falling
My fair lady where are you now
Cause London bridge is falling
