What happened to the Night? Part 2

4

I watched as all the students and teachers ran out of the building. The flames from the second floor were raging red. Bursting out of the rooms and breaking glass. It's then i realised where we were. The dorms, the girls dorms, my room! All my stuff! Monique! All the girls, my friends. Are they okay? Tears were flowing down my face as i watched all of them rush out. Soon the firefighters arrived and in seconds had started squirting water into the building. All that fire. The smoke would have already flooded the building. As soon as the fire had calmed down a few fighters ran in and in seconds were carrying girls out one by one. So many girls. People i recognised, dear friends to me. What happened?

The fire had been extinguished and everyone seemed calm. I had already mentally counted everyone before the lectures did and everyone was accounted for. I caught a glimpse of Monique and that gave me a little more comfort. I had stopped crying half an hour ago and was calm now. It was getting close to sun down and i was getting tired. Being locked up in a car all day drained me. Must have been the crying. Then suddenly the car unlocked making me jump, Night! He's here to get me! I pushed open the door ready to be held close to him.

"Night!" I shouted but instead i was met with warm brown eyes. "Josh," I whispered.

"Hey little one. You okay?" He said opening his arms out for me to fall into. In one hand he held keys. Night's keys. Where is he? I fell into his arms and he strategically pulled me to his back and gave me a piggyback ride to a group of lecturers right after he threw the keys in the car and closed the door. Where is he?

So the day after the fire we did our finals. The exam was fine. I didn't struggle. So why was i so stressed, why am i still stressed? Oh thats right, its because i haven't seen him yet. No sign of him. No Night! I've walked to his little cottage, to his office asked the lecturers and his receptionist and none of them have seen him. I've been told that he ran into the fire and nobody heard from him. No one has heard anything form him. Why is everyone so calm about it. He just disappears and it's okay! What if he's hurt. But i was told nobody was seriously hurt. Meaning he is fine, right? Then where is he! Where is my Night. Im not overreacting, it's been two weeks. Its almost report card day which is on the same night as awards night. He has to come hand out award, he's always been there to. He can't miss this one.

"Child, chill," Harry exclaimed with a sigh. Monique, Josh, Harry, Catty and i sat at a table at the mall with ice cream and chips. The two school captains, josh and I, student leaders, Catty and Harry and grade co-ordinator, Monique, seated at a table and for once we aren't talking. We talk all the time about random stuff but now theres nothing to talk about. It feels as though my hearts been ripped out. I feel lost, weak, lighter because of the hole that feels like an empty void making home in my chest.

"Why, oh why are you so upset?" Monique asked finally. They knew i was upset but no-one said anything. Until now.

"Hm...I have no idea Moni," Catty replied robotically catching my attention, i looked up. What do they know? "Might be something about Mr. Night," Catty exclaimed. I was shocked. How did, wow am i that obvious. Harry rubbed my back and gave me a warm smoke making his blue eyes shine like the sea.

"It's okay sweets. Everybody knows. I mean you did sleep at his cottage. So it became a bit obvious." Harry smiled at me sweetly.

I rested my head on Harry's shoulder and closed my eyes. Visions of the time we spent together played through my head. It feels like he is gone. Dead. He isn't by my side and I feel lost. It's only been a few days. A few days we spent together. We slept together and now I feel like he is my life line. Well he is my dominant. My master. He can't leave his submissive in the dark like this.
