06 | woke up with a monster

the colour blue,

That same haunting blanket of mist lay down over the barren town once again. It was noiseless, a tranquil ghost crawling over her bloodied body. Circling her, it slid over the red stream trickling from her neck. Limbo was where she resided, alive yet not awake, the agony kept her consciousness at bay. Her steamy breaths blended with the fog, crying for oxygen as her heartbeat slowed.

A monster lay near, remorse bubbling in the back of his mind. Her blood painted his clothes and lips; a feeling of ambiguity clouding his head. He didn't know what had come over him, the bloodlust was stronger than the guilt, stronger than the magic, stronger than him.

A groan escaping his coated red lips, he sat up, and slipping a curse word, and turned to face the dying girl slumped against the truck. She would die and come back to life soon after, he knew that, yet the guilt he felt made him want to help her.

Another groan escaped his lips, rolling his eyes and gripping the girls wrist, he pulled her over, submitting to the guilt. 

Once again, the veins around his eyes darkened, ripping the flesh of his own wrist open, blood spilling out onto his forearm.

"Drink." He muttered, unsure if she could actually here him. A low grunt was her only rejection, and the sounds of her wounds healing was her acceptance. Kai's brows fell into a crease, why was he helping her?

Elise didn't wake up, she didn't even when he carried her to the drivers seat of her truck, even when he started driving.

[Elise's POV]

I stirred, a sharp tremor waking me up. Taking my first conscious breath, I blinked my eyes open, trying to clear the misty layer over my eyes. The air was cold in my lungs, I blinked again.

"Rise and shine sleepyhead." I hear the faint sound of a familiar chirpy voice, it almost knocks me sick.

The similarities between Kai and I scared me senseless. We were both cold blooded murderers, we where both alone, both siphons, both neglected. The list went on, yet however much I wanted to hate Kai, however much anger I felt towards the dark haired man, I couldn't help feel accepted around him. Understood.

Trees passed the open window; and as I pushed myself upright in the cold leather seat, fear sank into my chest. Where was I?

The plastic sound of tape filled my ears. Looking down I saw the flashy grey exterior of duct tape bound around my wrists. My wide eyes met Kai's and he smirked wickedly at me, as if he had completely forgotten the circumstances.

"Wh- Why am I tied up?" I tiredly mumbled, fighting the pulling sensation of sleep.

"Well I wouldn't want my only company in this god forsaken prison world running off, would I?" Kai mocked, not looking away from the road ahead.

My eye brows drew in a crease, and I leaned across the truck, gripping onto his muscular forearm with my bound hands, pulling his magic into my body.

A low grunt of pain emitted from his chest before I mumbled, "Nervorum resolutiones."

Kai's whole body froze up in my grip, then slumped as he slipped into temporary paralysis, his foot slipped off of the pedal and the car rolled to a slow stop.

Kai's eyes and chest where the only thing that could move, and they both screamed in hidden fear. Maybe he assumed I would up and leave him there like that, that I would disappear in this abandoned world for the rest of our pitiful lives.

I was a good judge of character and his actions confirmed my suspicions that was his worst fear, no matter how hard he tried to hide it.

After giving Kai a small nod and climbing out of my truck, I began to bite through the tape that bound my wrists.

I was in the middle of nowhere. A two lane road surrounded by abundances of forest trees. The clouds that would hang over us for the rest of eternity fell down into light fog. We must have fit in with the horror setting like a puzzle piece; black and bloodied clothes, darkened eyes, two labelled abominations looming over each other and a rusty old truck.

I had my back to the truck as I aimlessly trudged down the barren road, trying to figure out where I was. I clenched my teeth, hearing Kai vamp-speed and halt just behind me. I knew the paralysis wouldn't last long.

I let out a breathy laugh, then spun around to face him. "Where are we?"

"Just passing through Atlanta." He answered, rubbing his wrist as he gradually got control of his body back. My eyes widened slightly.

He had drove us all the way from the south of Florida to Atlanta while I had been unconscious. I wanted to laugh, but anger kept my face blank. Kai watched me with an amused expression.

"What why, where are we going?"

"Mystic Falls, Virginia, I already told you this." He laughed.

Of course I knew we where going to go to Mystic Falls eventually, I thought I'd have some time to grab a few of my things and maybe ransack my neighbours apartments since they aren't here to stop me, it hadn't crossed my mind that Kai would have wanted to go immediately.

I gave Kai a sarcastic smile and then walked directly up to him, then drove my fist into the soft part of his abdomen; he hunched over in pain, holding his abdomen and making a low groaning sound.

"That's for trying to kill me." I paused, "Twice." Then kneed him in the nose, causing him to lurch backwards, stumbling and grabbing ahold of his bleeding face as he fell backwards onto the floor. The sound of his face cracking was psychotically satisfying.

Then, after watching him in pain for a short second, I held my hand out for him, this took Kai by surprise, his deep blue eyes widening and a smile twitched in the corner of his lips.

His bloodied hand fit like a puzzle piece in mine, although I wouldn't admit it in that moment, I enjoyed the contact as I pulled him up.

"If we're gonna do this, you have to get your bloodlust under control." I tell him, folding my arms.

Kai smirked, "Fine."

"And you have to stop trying to kill me."

He sighs, "Fine."

I hum in approval, walking past him back to the truck and wait for him to follow.

Soon, we're back on the road, making small talk to avoid the too comfortable silence. Thousands of questions battered the inside of my head, about the dark haired man that sat next to me, about this world, about me.

Frustrated tears swarmed in my eyes but I wouldn't let them fall. The realisation that we where the only people in the world, completely alone, not able to relieve the pain of isolation.

I guessed this was going to be my life for eternity. Yet I couldn't bring myself to dislike the company I was given.
