"All these demons we have to fight on our own"

Laurence's POV
She's okay, that's all I care about.
For some reason I keep getting these strange headaches at unusual moments. I don't know, it's weird. I video chat Melina to make sure she's okay. She is so I hang up. I go to the bathroom and open the cabinet and take out a bottle of pills, I take one of the pills and go back to my room. I grab a water bottle and swallow the pill.

"Delusional"

"Who's there?" I say. The lights go out, leaving me in pitch black. Wave my arms around trying to find a flashlight. I find the flashlight and turn it on.
On the walls was red, blood I might think.
Somehow, I am not scared. I stare at the wall. It has writing on it. It say..
"She who lurks in the darkness, she who controls the weather"

For some reason, this reminds me of something.
A legend.

"A girl that was quiet, silent, but deadly. Nightmare, was her name. Seen in the dark. She killed 36 people.
Nobody knows who she really is. She can control the weather, and she can blend in with darkness. She only kills when ordered to.

Her name is Nightmare"

My mother used to read me legends when I was a kid. I still remembered them.

"Six kids"

The lights flicker back on, I figure my mother and father were sleeping since they didn't seem to notice the lights go off. I turn off the flashlight and look at the wall.
Why am I not scared?
The writing on the wall fades away back to the original color of the wall. It was as if nothing happened.
It was as if, I am delusional.
Heh...heh...
Funny huh.
Coincidence?

I figure people think I'm okay. Not crazy, to be more specific. Just a normal kid, normal life. Ex girlfriend is crazy. Crush is depressed. Enemy likes my ex girlfriend. Crazy huh.
Really, I don't think of Max as my enemy, but because of...something, but I consider it.

People have told me I don't look the same.
I'm different.
I love how people don't ask me I'm okay, because they know I'm strong.
I love how people look up to me, yet they don't know anything about me.
I love how everyone lies to me and wants me to understand the truth.
I love how everything fine.
Everything's.
Fine.

Right?
Just like the murder of Audrey.
Just like Melina's depression.
Just like Gonzalo's strength.
Just like Max's blame.
Just like Jessicas secret.

Just like my death.

A/n: oh look I actually updated holy mother of Irene. Bless the God 707.
