Father Before The grave

The Pain Of Goodbye

i stirred from my sleep,my neck was aching,next time,remind me not to fall asleep in a brooding position.i looked out the car window,it was dark and gloomy,my favourite weather.,i love rain,ever since i was little,its why i never wore makeup,so i wouldn't have to worry about it running and making me look like a poltergeist.i always felt good in water,as o opposed to the sun,i felt somekind of special connection with it.that or i just hated being hot.twas a pity i didn't do well in water,i could hold my breath for an unbelievable amount of time but..people have tried and failed to teach me how to swim.i loved water,but it didn't seem to like me'.i thought while unconsciously running a hand across the skin on my right arm and waist,.the scar on my right arm,from above my elbow to below it wasn't that visible,as for my hips...lets just say my arm is better off.my mom and i had gotten into a fight and in a fit of rage,she tossed a canister of boiling hot water on me.it was a horrible experience,i can still remember the smell of my flesh,the stinging sensation i got when my skin would peel off me and stick to the mattress when id sleep..but what was scarier..was me not being bothered by it..liking it even..well..it wasn't like i could feel anything anymore at that point.i shuddered at the thought.'what happened to me'.she thought,folding up on the chair,she rested her head on the glass,staring at the dark sky.'whatever doesnt kill you turns you into one hell of a masochist'.she thought.but at least shed paid for it,all that insane pleasure came with twice the amount of suffering,even now she's haunted by something far more sinister,something so inescapably annoying its become unbearable,her one true curse.''that face,its remarkably similar to one tragically wounded and damaged by demons she cant escape"....speaking of curses..

''Aaaaah!''.she instinctively freaked out,scrambling towards the other side of the car,she made it swivel a little.looking up,she saw said 'demon spread out on the car seat smiling mischievously at her.it was the same girl from her room,she had her long hair in a ponytail and was sitted,legs crossed,arms folded.she pointed a shaky finger at her.''y...you..how'd you get in here''.she asked shakilly,earning an earnest chuckle from her.she furrowed her brows staring at her.''you somehow magically teleported yourself here didn't you''.she asked still pointing.she huffed flipping her hair.''youre wrong there''.she answered cheekily.''LUMINA!''.                    ''fine fine..so i jumped out your bedroom window,got into the car and hid under the seats while you were saying your heartfelt goodbyes''.she explained,a demeaning glint in her eyes.''you see i prefer actual strategy  as opposed to mind numbing labour''............''tch!''.i scowled,returning to my original position.it must be my month of misfortune.i stretched to get a look at the driver,he had is headphones on,isn't that a bit dangerous,at least he cant hear me,i don't need him giving me weird looks the whole drive through.i turned to face the object of my misfortune.''just what are you doing here anyway,its the first time I'm seeing you outside my room...guess my brain trauma has gotten even worse''.i said staring at the road...'now whats with that attitude,you know I'm as real as real gets''.lumina said looking offended......''yeah right,you're just the physical representation of my underlying need to punish myself''.kihika said.she scoffed.''says your therapist,that old pervert couldn't tell black from pink''.   ''nice analogy.''.she teased.''oh whatever..you know what i mean'.   '''yea..yea..why'd you wanna tag along anyways?''.she asked.**********************

''whyd you want to tag along anyway?''.

''why?... its the first time you're going away so long,not to mention to such a finely secluded camp..i just thought id *cough*,enhance the experience''.yeah right,more well be alone in a forest where no one can hear my screams,i wasn't buying it.i raised a brow at her,a disbelieving look on my face.she smirked then turned to face the window.''lets just say I'm sick of that damn house and you constantly denying my existence''.she turned back to her.''so in a sort of retribution,I've arranged for things to go tragically wrong..but no worries,its all in good fun,its not like I'm gonna kill you or anything,,it'll be fine kihika san''.she chuckled darkly.kihika gulped.this could not be good.she sighed,looking out the window.''whatever,just quit being so polite already,it isnt like you and its creeping me out!''.lumina smiled good naturedly.'''sure thing hiccup!.''.she chimed.i glared at her before turning back to the window,it had started raining already...it was a dark day.*******************************************************************************'''HOOOOONK!''...''Aaaaah!''.she shrieked,sitting up.whatever that loud noise was,it just ruined a very fruity dream she was having.she plastered her face to the glass.trying to get a look at where she was.she could she the ocean,and the docks ...andd...''driver!''.she screamed.''why are we at the docks,what happened to the train station?''.he gave me a confused look.''you didnt know...your mom  arranged for  this,your ship leaves in about an hour''.i stared blankly at him.this was bad,a ship meant water,and water meant the ocean,and the ocean meant creepy prehistoric undead slug monsters who melt your insides and suck them out.oh gods!.She heaved a heavy sigh as she took a step forward... After all... What's the worse that could happen.......

she opened her eyes,sitting up she grabbed her chest,gasping for air.she looked around,she was in aplace she didn't recognise.it was all white,the ground was coverd in pebbles.she shrieked,standing to her feet as a few of them turned into crabs and started walking around.''i wonder if these are all crabs''.she said warily.she paused as staring at the giant ship,it had black sails and was painted black as well.''woaaah..that couldnt be..''    ''y...you're awake''.she stutterd.i turned to face her,yea I'm awake,that a problem for..hey lumina,are you okay.her eyes were puffy and pink,like shed been crying.i didnt know ghosts could cry.i was thrown aback when she burst into tears,falling down on her knees.''i..im im sorry hika''.she sobbed.i fell to my knees holding her.''hey what happened,what happened to the cruise''.she looked up to me in suprise.''so..so you dont remember''.she asked.i shook my head.''i have no idea what you're talking about..some freaky dream this is''.i scanned my surroundings,i saw an older man,dressed in what looked like rags,stumbling around in a drunken stupor.'this was one hell of a freaky dream if that was who i thought it was'.i looked back down at her,she had a thoughtful look on her face.''ive gotta fix this..'' ''hmm?''.i asked..''im gonnA fix it..all of it''.i stared at her as she got up.she pulled out a necklace from under her dress,she held it with both hands chanting something inaudible.i looked back at the drunken old man as my vision slowly faded,'farewell captain'..
