Calm as Sorrow

He's in his underwear. He's in his underwear. That's it, I need to get out of here. I scrabble around for my things as Loki watches me, clearly amused. Fabian walks into the kitchen and grabs some bacon from the fridge.

"Breakfast anyone?" He raises an eyebrow. How can they be so calm? Last night comes back to me and suddenly my head rushes with what happened.

I was attacked by Rebecca. She turned into a monster. My heartbeat thuds against my chest at the dreadful memory. Rebecca was a monster. Rebecca was a monster? Rebecca was a monster! No matter how I say it or how many times I say it, I still sound crazy. Maybe it was a dream. Maybe I'm dreaming now. I turn my back on Loki and pinch my arm. Wake up! Wake up! Nothing.
Ugh, I guess I'm not dreaming. What the hell am I doing here? I turn back around at Loki and demand answers.

"What am I doing here? Why was I asleep and where did you find me? I can't believe you slept next to me, at least you're wearing clothes cause otherwise I'd be even more freaked out-"

"Whoa, whoa, slow down." He chuckles and all I want to do is smack that grin off his face. "Sit down." He says simply. What? That's the answer I'm getting?

I go to argue but he leans back on the sofa waiting. Rolling my eyes, I take a seat. As I do he leans forward and looks into my eyes. Dear God he's got beautiful eyes. No, stay on track Ana! You can't fancy your kidnapper.

"Do you remember anything from last night?" He asks with all seriousness.

"Um.." I mumble.

He watches me closely with narrowed eyes.

"I was nearly killed if that's what you mean." I raise an eyebrow.

"So you do remember." He sighs and leans back again.

"Of course I still remember. How could someone forget something like that? She just turned into that thing. That monster and she tried to..." I can't even say it but the words echo through my head. Rebecca tried to kill me. She called me a fairy. Why? What does that mean? A fairy? Come on, I couldn't be a fairy. They are little elf looking creatures with dresses made of leaves and tiny green pointed shoes. I hardly qualify.

I'm normally the girl who sits reading a book or watching a movie, screaming at the stupid girl who doesn't realise what's happening. I normally shout at the poor girl walking toward the forbidden door in the middle of the night. I never thought that I'd be the one screaming at myself whilst I go back through my memories.

"Ana?" Loki stands next to me and I realise I've been pacing the room for the last five minutes.

"Why don't you sit down." He gestures to a window on my left with a few pillows leant up against the glass. A take a seat on the small, brown throw covering the huge window ledge.

"Look, last night you were attacked by a Demon. They aren't supposed to come into this area without us knowing, and I don't know why it was after you." His brows furrow as he takes a seat opposite me.

"A Demon?" I repeat.

"Yes."

"I don't believe you." I try to get up but he pulls me back down. Clearly he's insane.

"Ana please-" He holds into my wrist.

"You think you can tell me a Demon attacked me and I'll just believe you?" I laugh, a little frightened.

"It's true. How else do you explain last night?" He raises an eyebrow.

"I may need to get some mental treatment for hallucinations." I pull away from him and he finally let's me go.

"At least hear me out, Ana." He says simply as I turn to face him once again.

His gorgoues brown eyes and dark hair makes my knees go weak as I surrender and take a seat opposite him.

"What's a Demon then?" I ask looking out at the morning sunrise. The beautiful orange glow envelopes me as my lips curve up into a smile at the view.

"A Demon is basically what you saw. A horrible disgusting creature that normally acts in a human body. It takes them over completely so there is nothing left." He lifts my chin with his hand as I try to avoid his gaze.

"But why it went after you, I do not know." He studies me with narrowed eyes.

"So Rebecca was taken over by one of those, creatures?"

"Yes. I'm sorry, I know that you liked her." He cocks his head to the side and I nod.

"She was a really nice person." I mumble.

"She cared about you, Ana." He looks at me again with those intense brown eyes.

"How do you know?"

"She could have attacked you when the creature first entered her body but she went upstairs to get away. She tried to overcome it but the rage soon took over."

I narrow my eyes. Am I really buying this garbage?

"Look, I gotta go." I need to get away from this guy who is clearly a total nutter. Suddenly the door bursts open and Penny skips into the room.

"Ana! So glad you're here. You had a rough night, girl!" She bounces over. "Then you had to wake up with these guys, ugh. No wonder you don't look happy." She smiles innocently at Loki who stands protectively behind me.

"Penny." He mumbles, almost a growl.

"I'm taking Ana out." She grabs my hand.

"But I need to do my teeth and stuff, plus I don't have any spare clothes." I look down at my dirty ones from last night.

"Hakuna Matata, Ana! Here." She hands me bag with a spare change of clothes and a toothbrush in it.

"Thanks but how did you-"

"I always carry spares of everything, just in case." She winks at me and sends me off into the bathroom.

It's quite a spectacular sight. The shower is the size of my bedroom back home-

Home. Shit! Mum and Dad. What the hell am I going to tell them? And what about Abbie? I was supposed to go over last night. Oh god, I'm going to be in so much trouble. I quickly slide into the pair of jeans from Penny and throw on the tank top. Surprisingly it all fits perfectly as I step into my converses. As I look into the mirror I notice that my hair is a shade between purple and red. It's grown at least two inches since yesterday and now falls past my hip. I try to sort it out with my hands but the loose curls just stay as they are. As I look closer my eyes are almost glowing. Not again. If I don't look like a freak enough already my eyes will do the trick. The sparkling green that surrounds my pupils illuminates against my dark eyelids. My lips are so perfectly plump that it looks like I have got lipstick on and my eyelashes have grown longer.

I take a step back from the mirror and hold onto the sink. What's happening to me? I take deep breaths in and out until I start to calm down. Closing my eyes I push the craziness away and talk myself into seeing a doctor tomorrow. My appearance can't just suddenly change and a so called Demon suddenly attack me from nowhere. Maybe I'm seeing things. Maybe I look the same but my there is something wrong with me. Maybe I need medication. I try to pinch myself again just to make sure I'm not dreaming. Nothing. I sigh. Worth a shot.
