Misfits

Chapter 5

Peridot's Pov...

I was walking through a dark alley, what was I doing here? I have no clue.

I just feel... Drawn to it.

I put up my defence so I could be prepared for what was happening. The sound of cars zooming into the evening as people who work at night came bustling and about.

I tried picking up a scent, or tried to hear something out of the ordinary but there was nothing.

My head suddenly perks up to a scent, a scent of blood. My eyes dilated as my wolf peered around, looking through my eyes.

A gasp escapes my throat as I throw my body against another one that sat limp on the cold, concrete floor.

Tears brimmed my eyes, as I saw Lapis, my friend lying limp at the corner. I couldn't lose her, she's one of the many people who made me see that the world was not such a bad place.

As my lip quivered, a whimper escaped my mouth as I pulled her broken and bloodied body to me.

My wolf was thrashing around my head, whimpering and growling, wanting to lash out at the person who did this to Lapis.

Her cheek getting wet from the tears dripping from my face. My wolf howled in pain as Lapis' last breath left her body.

I screamed in agony.

~End~

I jolted awake, cold sweat covering my body as I frantically looked around the room. Seeing Lapis' body made me calm down, heaving a sigh as I sat right up. Wiping off the sweat off my brow, I went to our minifridge and took the soda that I bought yesterday.

I gulped all of it in an instant and threw it in the trash bin.

I sighed and went for my phone that was on my nightstand. I started to distract myself by playing my phone but the disturbing images from my dream-

No, I meant Nightmare...

It keeps me awake until morning and I feel so dizzy and tired from the fatigue.

I heard yawning from my left amd saw Lapis stretching her arms.

"Hey, why are you up so early..." She said while rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.

I didn't want to tell her about the nightmare, she'll get worked up about it.

"It's nothing, just woke up from a nightmare that's all..."
I said, letting my head plop on the soft pillow.

I could feel her eyes watching me, waiting if I would say something more.

"Must've been a really bad dream if you didn't get to sleep." She said, her voice low.

"I told you, I'll be fine. Don't die of worry just because of me. It's only a bad dream Lapis." I said while rubbing my forehead.

She just looked at me a little longer and she looked away.

"I'm gonna get ready, if you want we could go out, talk maybe?" She said. It was still dark out so maybe it wouldn't hurt Lapis.

I nodded and she turned away from me and went to the bathroom. As I hear the water running, I changed out of my clothes and wore a dark green sweatshirt and black short shorts.

I realized that some of my pants were with Jasper and I haven't taken them from her, me being too caught up with my other friend.

I brushed my hair as it was always styled and I added some gel/wax to keep them in that shape.
