Escape the dark ~ Book 1

Chapter 26 The Purple Fire

~Aphmau's POV~

I got a letter from Zane today... Great! I read it and wanted to run and go to O'khasis by myself... but I couldn't think so I started singing softly to clear my mind...

I can hold my breath

I can bite my tongue

I can stay awake for days

If that's what you want

Be your number one

I can fake a smile

I can force a laugh

I can dance

And play the part

If that's what you ask

Give you all I am

I can do it, I can do it

I can do it

But I'm only human

And I bleed when I fall down

I'm only human

And I crash and I break down

Your words in my head, knives in my heart

You build me up and then I fall apart

'Cause I'm only human

I can turn it on

Be a good machine

I can hold the weight of worlds

If that's what you need

Be your everything

I can do it, I can do it

I'll get through it

But I'm only human

And I bleed when I fall down

I'm only human

And I crash and I break down

Your words in my head, knives in my heart

You build me up and then I fall apart

'Cause I'm only human

I'm only human

I'm only human

Just a little human

I can take so much

'Till I've had enough

'Cause I'm only human

And I bleed when I fall down

I'm only human

And I crash and I break down

Your words in my head, knives in my heart

You build me up and then I fall apart

'Cause I'm only human

I got up and ran into Laurance right away. "Were you stalking me?" I asked, looking at him. "Of course not! I was walking by and I overheard you singing. What were you singing about anyways?" I handed him the note, and his eyes grew wide. "We need to tell the others, then leave for O'khasis right away." He said, looking at me. "Yes... I was tempted to go by myself for a bit... That's why you heard me singing... It helped me clear my mind..." I informed him. "Oh... That makes sense..." "Ya... It helped..."

~Timeskip to after they tell everyone~

"So who's all going to O'khasis?" I asked, looking around the table. "I'll go!" Laurance said. Of course. "Anyone else?" I asked. Katlyn, Aaron, and... Levin? "Levin. You can't go. You have Phoenix Drop to protect." I said slowly. Then again... I was never really at Phoenix Drop when I was lord... 

Hope you enjoyed!
