She's an Ancient (rewriting)

Chapter 16: Abandoned

I stared silently with tears streaming down my face as I watched my life unravel before my eyes. Eyes seemed to surround me, and then all at once they became faces. Issi, my best friend, who had the prettiest face had now become someone so ugly. She stared at me with a forced smile, her glossy lips pressed together tightly while her eyes grew more and more suspicious. She inspected me carefully, as if I was a fly caught in a spiders web but she expected me to suddenly rip off my skin and become the spider itself. Between the blink of an eye she had changed and in her place was an all to familliar face, Kyoni. My solid shoulder. He glared at me with a look that seemed to sentence me to a place worse than purgatory. A blue fog surrounded him, it swirled around him in little whisps and caress him, but within that blue fog rested something created from pure evil, the dense fog opened its eyes and grinned at me. He's mine, it seemed to say. I reached out to try and free him but as I did he smacked my hand away, sending a shock through my body, this was the pain of losing someone dear.

"It's too late now." He stated icily. I shook my head and began reaching for him once more, I could fix it, I knew I could. He scoffed and turned away.

"Go be with Hayden." He whispered. I opened my mouth to yell at him, tell him to stop being stupid, but my throat burned, my muscles refused to work and all at once I was suffocating.

I shot up in bed holding my throat, my mind not fully released from the dream I was just in. Strong hands rested on my leg, the hands of someone familiar. I glanced up to see Kyoni, faded just a bit around the edges but the more I blinked, the more he faded into someone else. Hayden. Sleeping on the floor beside my bed. My eyes flitted around the room, stopping on a large, gaping hole in my wall, and though I wondered where it had come my mind was racing.

"Tear." I yelled with a raspy throat. No response. I waited for a few minutes but still nothing, not even Hayden had woken up. I carefully moved Hayden's hands and swung my feet over the side of the bed, I needed to find Kyoni. A sharp pain ran through my chest and memories of the fight came crashing back, the most noted one of the look on Kyoni's face as I headed into the forest. I tried to catch my breath as I reached out for a wall, but my hands failed to find any surface to grab onto. I stumbled back into Hayden, waking him up by mistake.

"Mara wh- what are you doing? Are you okay?" He asked, his hands fumbling to hold onto me. I nudged his hands away and sat up, doing my best to ignore the pain.

"I'm fine, wheres Tear?" I asked. Hayden had a slightly relieved look on his face, making me feel just a little better about what happened.

"He went out for a while, why?" Hayden asked. I shook my head and tried to stand.

"I need to find Kyoni." I whispered, I couldnt get his sad expression out of my mind. Hayden wrapped his hand around my arm and I spun my head to look at him.

"You need to sleep more." He objected. I pulled my arm away and shook my head.

"No, no, you didnt see the look on his face last night. I need to talk to him." I said, my voice breaking a little. Hayden's eyes looked to the floor, trying to hide a strange expression hidden behind his eyes.

"Amaranth... you've been sleeping for months. Kyoni... he moved on, he never even came by to visit you once." Hayden said quietly. A dizziness swept through me. Months?

"How could I have been asleep for so long?" I asked. Hayden's eyes met mine.

"The ice that pierced your chest, it was made from dry ice, it was too strong and in attempt to save your life, you're body went into an ice age kind of thing, a frozen state- for months. But I stayed here, everyday. I waited for you to wake up, and now that you're awake all you care about is finding Kyoni?" He asked. I bit my lip as I stared at him.

"Look- Kyoni, he's..." Hayden held a hand in front of his face, palm towards me.

"I dont want to know. Go find him... but dont say I didnt warn you." He whispered quietly. I furrowed my eyebrows together but upon reading the clock a faint light of hope flickered inside me, school was about to get out. I could meet him at the gates.
