Mist Falls

Chapter 16 : I'm I Dead Yet

I wake up and inwardly groan every part of my body hurts including my feet why do my feet hurt and what the hell happened last night, I remember making it to bed, what happened after that, the nightmare, walking into the hall hearing the creepy voice, I was dreaming right I must have been dreaming.

I feel like I'm almost lying to myself but the only other explanation is I really have lost my mind hearing voices, seeing girls in my mind, trying to take me away from the dark man, her father that's what she said her father.

Don't listen to them, you really have lost it this time there going to lock you up and throw away the key, I won't survive being locked up for the rest of my life its bad enough some days just being alive today may be one of those days.

I hear a soft snore and my eyes fly open my head spins and I blink a few times until it doesn't feel like the world is trying to kill me, I'm shocked to see a sleeping Phoenix in the chair next to me sleeping peacefully his eyes move behind his eye lids.

My stomach grumbles but I ignore it as I watch the guy in front of me, his long blond hair has fallen over his eyes, and my hand twitches and stings I look down to see a fresh white bandaged on my hand why is it there, what the hell happened last night.

"Morning," a sleepy ruff very sexy voice says next to me making me jump, wait sexy what.

"Morning what happened last night?" I ask looking over his tired blood shot eyes I guess sleeping in that chair wasn't to comfortable, why is he asleep there.

"You where sleep walking we think," Phoenix states as he stretches his green shirt tank rides up a little and I can just see the hint of a six pack as well as a brown snail trial disappearing into his pants, a cough, bring my eyes up to his and I feel my face got hot he just smiles.

"Sleep walking," I mummer my brain kicking in after the hormone overload it just had.

"Yea you cut your hand in the garden do you remember being out there little bug?" he says looking into my eyes so many question in those ice blue eyes that are so like my own.

"No, I don't remember," I say looking in his eyes he waits searching for the truth he nods letting me know he found whatever he was looking for my tummy groans loudly and he laughs.

"Well I guess its time to get some food in there before the monster in your belly decides to eat me," he winks as he stands and heads to the bathroom while I sit there with my mouth wide open, he didn't mean what I think he meant did he?

After a few minutes the door opens to a fresher looking Phoenix as he smiles brightly at me his eyes have shadows under that where not there yesterday did I put them there?

"Where is my brother?" I ask, wondering why he isn't here and yet Phoenix is, what happened last night after he took off where did he go.

"Well, he stayed with a friend last night, he knew you would be safe with us," He smiles but I can see the lie playing in his eyes there something he is not telling me.

"Ok," I say trying to keep a small smile plastered on my lips I hate being fake, but this is how I spend my life now, "Ok I'm gonna take a shower and get changed."

"You will come down right?" he says like he knows I'm full of it, which I am again I don't need them and they don't need me waying them down, I'm a bad penny, one that my very well be losing her tiny mind, "Winter?"

"Ermm, yea in a bit," I say with a shrug, he frowns and looks a little disappointed, I hate that I did that but its better this way in year I will be gone and a week after there lives will go back to normal.

"Fine, please come and eat with us when your ready," he says a slight twitch in his light eyebrow, I guess he is pissed good it better this way.

I nod my head and he sighs before leaving the room, I take stock of how my mental walls are doing sounds weird right but I just imagine a place inside of me somewhere safe, I see a big old tree it used to be alive but now its like all the colour has gone, dead leaves litter the ground and black oozes from the bark of the tree.
