Immortal

(The text in italics are flashbacks like they were before instead of writing!)

Y/N's POV

"WHERE IS HE?!" I scream, running down the hallway. Don't stop. Don't stop. Dmitri is right behind me, struggling to keep up with me. I see Nicole at the end of the hallway and skid to a stop, her face alarmed.
"The Shadow Souls have attacked once again," she murmurs, and I grab her shoulders tightly.
"WHERE'S LAURENCE?!"
"Don't go after him."
"Make me."
"I will."
"You can't," I sprint past her and she doesn't try to stop me. Dmitri isn't following me anymore, so now it's just me running in the streets of Scaleswind alone. Once I get to the gates, I see Laurence, Aphmau, and Aaron. Laurence's eyes are aglow, and a shiver goes through me. I soon realize that I'm frozen in place until Aaron strikes Laurence with his sword, causing him to fall to the ground, crying out. I grow angered, my head burning and suddenly, I feel darkness wash over me. Eyes blistered. Fists clenched. I can't think of anything but the burning anger within me. That's when I start running, knowing that I'm in Shadow Knight form doesn't phase me any longer. Aaron turns toward me, his sword firmly in his hand. "HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO HIM!!!" Aphmau turns too, tears in her eyes. I stop running only when Aaron's sword blade is at my throat, touching the skin.
"Don't move," he commands me. I spit on him,
"You monster."
"You're the monster. If you don't stand down they're going to take over your mind."
"What did you call me?!"
"A monster." I feel my face turn emotionless and I back away slightly from the blade. Then, I open my mouth. Scoot forward. Bite down on the metal of the blade. Aaron's face shows shock but he doesn't draw the sword. Memories start flowing to my brain and suddenly, I'm not there anymore...

"Y/N!" My mom greeted me at the door when I returned, giving me a huge hug, "How was it?"
"Good! I didn't really make any friends..." I answered. She stuck up her pinky finger, glaring at me now. I wrap my pinky around hers. Promise... No one is going to find out.
>
"WHY DIDN'T YOU DIE?!" My father screamed at me, grabbing me by the arm and holding me in the air. I scream,
"PUT ME DOWN!!" Our house set aflame from the forest fire. Mom didn't make it out. But she threw me, just before the table fell on me. My face was fed to the flames. I should've died. I cry out in pain, except that I feel nothing.
>
"I want to show you something," he beckoned. I followed him, not even knowing his name. His eyes were so calming... I wished I wasn't memorized by the soft look on his face. We ended up at a cliff, looking at the sun as it set in the distance. I reached out to try and touch the light. He smiled at me, and does the same. "Wouldn't it be amazing to be able to touch the light?"
"Maybe..." I fiddled with my fingers.
"Being immortal?" He flashed me a smirk, all teeth. I gasped and fell to the ground when he pulled a dagger out of his pocket. "Lets see how amazing it is." He smacked me in the face, making my head fling backwards and bang on the ground. Then he placed his foot on my stomach, the smirk not off of his face.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" I shrieked.
"I'm going to find out if the rumors are true. If you are the immortal one," he lifted the dagger high in the air before plunging it into my chest. Here it was again; that feeling of pain, but it's not there. I screamed anyway and kicked him in the stomach, making him draw back. Standing up, I breathed heavily as I stared at him. Blood was oozing out of my chest and the dagger was in his right hand, coated in blood. "Don't fight me."
"I don't want to fight you, I want to kill you!!" I shouted at him and the smirk formed on his face once again.
"So, with your immortality, you can't die from anything, not disease or blood loss or being shot in the heart? That's quite similar to a Shadow Knight."
"I feel little pain, but I may die from old age," I answered. Suddenly, something went over my head and all I saw was darkness. "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!"
"We're taking you away. Far away."
"NO YOU'RE NOT!!!" I started to kick my legs and flail, but there was no use fighting the bag. There's no use fighting who you are.

When I escape the world of my memories, Aaron is staring at me with disbelief. I realize that the tip of his sword is gone and that it's clamped between my teeth. I tore through it with my teeth and I felt nothing. Nothing at all. I spit it out on the ground and feel tears start to fill my eyes before I run as fast as I can away from Aaron. From Aphmau. From... Laurence... I promised my mom my secret would never get out. I guess I forgot that rumors spread like butter without you even needing to say anything.
