Let it burn

Escape

I looked at Jeff. I hoped he stayed away. Why did he search for me?

"Well, your happy to see me." He grinned.

"Your acting like its been years since we've seen each other, but it where only a few hours. And you lied to me. I hate you."

"Everyone lied to you, Raven. So why only blame me?'' Jeff said in a cocky tone. 

I crossed my arms and stamped on the ground.

"Leave me alone. Go away!" I hissed.

He started to laugh and patted my shoulder. I slapped his hand away and lifted my chin fiercely. He'd better get the fuck out right now before I made him. A pain was burning in my head. I placed my hands on my head and gritted my teeth. Breathing was getting heavier, ''What the...'' I whispered and I fell on my knees. I saw Jeff turning around towards the cave. Someone was standing there, laughing. I opened my eyes and saw Jane standing there. Blood and bite marks where all around her body. 

''I told them to bring you back!'' I snarled at her. My headache was getting worse, it was hard holding in my tears. I lifted my head and saw her holding a necklace. I placed my hand on my chest, my necklace was gone to! Jane started to laugh again. She was throwing it in the air and a it. She did this ten times. Until Jeff jumped towards her. His knife pointing to her head. The blood was still gushing out of her black eyes. Jane avoided it without any difficulties. My hand turned into a claw, I started to control myself bit by bit, and I jumped at Jane. She was too late avoiding me. She screamed as I threw her down with my weight. I landed on her, the necklace fell out of her hands, right on the ground. I gasped and reached out for it. Jane was faster this time and threw me off of her. I growled as she was throwing my necklace in the air again. Jeff spat on the ground.

''What do you want?''

Jane laughed and looked at me. A knife was pointing out her dress, she grabbed it and pointed it in my way. 

''I want her dead.'' Her eyes where shining.I sighed. Like I didn't know that yet. I looked at Jeff. He vanished. What the... Did he just leave me alone? That stupid... 

''Jane, Raven? What are you two doing?'' 

Jane turned around and put her hands on her waist. She threw the necklace on the ground, I screamed and she stamped on my necklace. My eyes widened. An awful squeaking was stuck in my head. I covered my ears. Hoping the awful sound would stop. But it didn't. I was getting headache, even worse than the sound, and fell on my knees. I looked at the mossy ground beneath me. Blood was dripping down on it, and I started to cry, what changed into an howl not long after. I slowly tilted my head to look at Jane. She was gone. My eyes where searching for her. I found her. She was laying on the ground too. Dead. The green forest floor was getting red. I could smell it. The blood. What a.... What a lovely scent! I licked my lips and stood up. I turned to see the boy. He was pushed against the tree, and Jeff was carving a smile into his cheeks. After that he stabbed him like ten times. The sound was awful, he was screaming, crying. I started to laugh. What was going on? I could not control my body. I howled, saying that my pack needed to come here. It didn't take long before the survived ones where around me. 

''Kill them. All of them. Focus on their eyes. Its their weakness. After that, go back to the clearing. I will visit your guys soon.'' I commanded. I watched they run back. I cocked my head and grinned. So brave. They where like little slaves, obeying me like I was a treatment to them. Jeff grabbed my wrist and I looked at the tree. The boy was dead. There where letters carved into his body ; Your too late. I didn't get it. I opened my mouth to talk, but I was interrupted by screams and rustling bushes. They got them! 

''Come with me.'' Jeff suggested. It was better to be friends than enemies with him. I nodded. He betrayed me, but everyone did. At least he warned me for going home. Home... The place I wanted to be right now. The place I wanted to be all the time. In the warmth of my moms caring arms. The warmth and softness of my bed. Even the awful memories. I started to shake, I was brought back into reality. What did I do? I just set off my pack to kill of my brother... I gritted my teeth and face palmed myself. What did Jane do to me? I stopped walking and the awful sound returned. 

''Not again...'' I whispered to myself. I needed to be strong. I had things ever worse than this. Don't be such a pussy, Raven! 

''Lets don't go back to the mansion. I think you might need to rest. Its not a good play to rest for you there yet.'' Jeff whispered. I didn't know how to response, but he was right. I was tired and needed to rest. But why shouldn't I go back to the mansion? 

''Fine.'' I said, trying to hide and ignore the sound in my head. That squeak... What was it? It took very long until we got at the small house. We both walked inside, and I sat down on the cough. He walked to the kitchen, and brought me some hot water. At least he took care of me. He even got upstairs to bring me a blanket! We both sat down on the cough, staring at the black television screen. It was awkwardly quiet for a minute, until I spoke. 

''Thanks for taking care of me.'' I whispered with a small smile. He crawled closer to me, wrapping his arms around me. 

''Don't ever run away again, promise? Your mine again.'' He said hoarse. 

Silence.

''Promise.'' I wanted to face palm myself so badly right now, but I was too tired. I didn't want to, why did I say that? My eyelids where getting heavier, it was hard to stay awake. It must have been 02:07 by now. After minutes of cuddling with Jeff, and fighting to keep my eyes open, I gave in. My eyes closed and I started to think about things that happened when I was still a little kid. When I was playing in the park with our dog. I was yawning. And in no-time I did fall asleep.

 I woke up by the warmth of the sunlight shining on my face. I was laying in a bed. It was pretty warm, and I opened my eyes. Where was I? I sat up and looked around. It was the old house in the forest. I yawned and stretched my body. I was still in my dirty clothes that was covered with blood. I stepped out of the bed. There was a small mirror on the wall, and I walked to it. I stared at myself. There was a trail of dried blood from my eye to my mouth. Just like I cried blood instead of tears. That must have been the blood I saw on the ground yesterday, when Jane broke my necklace. My blue eyes where red. Fire red. The same color as the marks I had. I decided to go downstairs to thank Jeff again. I walked downstairs, where I saw Jeff sleeping on the couch. He looked like a little child, curled up like an eleven years old child. I grinned and walked to the chair and sat down. He woke up because of the noise I made on the old, squeaking wooden floor.

''   W...Whoa?!'' Jeff yawned as he sat up. He was wearing a black cap on his head, so he wasn't able to see anything. I giggled and cocked my head.

''You look stupid.'' I grinned.

He teared the cap off his head and growled.

''I can't close my eyes, remember?''

''Well it isn't my fault.''

''I know. Had a nice rest?'' Jeff changed the subject. 

Actually, yes I had. I haven't slept so good like this in days. 

''Yeah, it was okay.''  

''Good.''

Jeff kicked his blanket off the couch and patted the couch, telling me to sit down next to him. I nodded and literally jumped next to him. 

''Why so happy? I don't like it when your happy.''

''And I don't like it when your grumpy.'' 

''Good for you.''

I sighed and shook my head. Idiot. A weird Idea popped into my mind. I smiled and looked at Jeff, already knowing that he would probably hate it.

''Hey Jeff?''

''Yeah?''

''Can I cut your hair?''
