The Impossibilities of The Dark

Death, Madness, And a Little Thrown In Magic

Kyra's POV:

I cautiously stood up, the blood on me stretching thin. Then I feel the warmness of my blood start to trail down the side of my leg. The only comfort in this unforgiving cold and damp place. I listen closely, though my ears still rang. The sound of claws sounded again, and I walk slowly in the other direction. As much as I try to make my foot falls silent, there was still sound. My boots squeak against the damp floor, surely alerting my predator. I stand still as I hear the echo of the sound get closer to me. My heart pounds, it feels as if my insides were screaming. Screaming for me to run in the other direction, no matter my condition. 

Shit. Shit. Shit. I need to get out of here before the unmentionable stood over my dead body. If I could see, it might give me better chances. But with no lighting, I was blind to the darkness. 

As it gradually got nearer, I decide the best thing to do is to walk in one direction. I couldn't get on my hands and knees. For one, my knee was injured. For two, there is no way to know that this unmentionable wasn't nocturnal. And that would mean that there was nothing I could do, no matter how fast I went. I was just hoping it would make my life last a little longer. As I start to walk in one direction, the sound reverberates against the walls. My breathing got quicker, and I repeatedly tell myself, "I'm alive. I'm alive. I'm alive." 

Then it stops.

I hear it's breathing, it was so close. 

So. Damn. Close.

Icel's POV:

Her eyes were laced with fear, and her heartbeat beat loud in my ear. Her blood was matted on her auburn hair, and her face. Her lip and mouth was bleeding, and the blood from her head had dried on her cheeks. Her black fur coat and black leggings was covered with dirt and blood from various parts of her body. Her pants were ripped the most at the knee, and calf. 

I cautiously take a step towards her, the last time I saw someone of her kind, it was...a long time ago. I snarl, and a growl escaping my mouth. She looked like she was deep in thought for a moment, then as fast as she could go, she ran. 

Stupid, stupid girl.

With the eyes she had, she couldn't see anything. And she was likely to fall on her ass, or injure herself more. 

I huff, and walk in the other direction. She can handle herself, I thought. The only humans I have met have been nothing but cruel, and could definitely could deal with their own shit. The only reason I was in this place because I hated humans. Must have been why Helian trapped her in here. She must have done something to get herself in a situation like this. 

Kyra's POV:

It was right there. Right there in-front of me. I sensed the danger, and realizing I had nothing to protect myself, I ran. Self preservation. I have no idea what could of happened if I had stood there. Possibilities...ripped apart. Injured enough so I couldn't move, in turn of that, I would starve...die of thirst. It could have mutilated a part of my body, or...most of my body. 

Breathe.

Breeeaaaathe.

Don't think of the things that could of happened, and think about now. Think about how I am trapped in complete darkness, my inevitable death, and how my death will be a very painful process. No matter what happens. No matter whether it is sooner than later. 

I stop walking, and sit down on the cool, damp floor. The dew from the floor seep through my pants, and I shiver. Time has been passing so slowly, that I have no idea how long I have been in this horrid place. I used to come from a better world, even though that world still brought pain. Wait. No. Fuuuck. Don't think. Shit.

The school bell rang, and I hurry out to the front of the school, where I knew I would find Gemi. As soon as I saw her, I ran up to her, and wrapped my arms around her. 

Gemi pulls  away and says to me, "You okay? You didn't see the upside down again right?"

We both giggle, and walk off towards her car. 

As we both climb into the front seat, Gemi turns up the radio. As I saw the school get smaller, we start to sing along with the radio. 

"Havana, ooh nah nah."

She turns to me and sings, "All of my heart is in Havana."

I sing back, "My heart is in Havana."

I came back to the moment, and tears start to well up. I would never see her again. I pull my knees up to my chest, and sat there. Crying for god only knows how long, if there is still one. 

~~~~~

I feel so sorry for her. I wish I could just hold her, and tell her everything is okay and that it will get better. I promise you guys that it won't be depressing for too long. Thank you guys for not giving up on me after the first chapter. If you hoomans like it, make sure to give me a vote. And comment if you have any suggestions!! If you don't, that's okay. Just sit back and enjoy.
