Sorry for not updating sooner, I've been busy with school and tests. And does that ever get annoying! So, yeah ^-^ hope you enjoy this chapter and future ones too!
...To see the most beautiful man I've ever seen
Ok let's pause in a moment of appreciation.
His unnaturally sharp facial structure should have been disturbing, but it wasn't. His Hair was streaked with red, yellow, and orange. It looked like a flurry of falling leaves that framed his dark face. And he completely towered over me. Now I'm a respectable 5'4, which is average height... for a girl. Ok, so I'm not very tall! But still, he was, like, 6'8 and definitely over a foot taller than me. I barely reached his shoulders! And he was built with lean muscles.
But the thing that was most striking about the man was his eyes. His eyes were like miniature sunsets. soft yellows, and oranges, and reds swirled around; a sea of molten flame. this beauty was so unearthly...pound, pound pound!... He's not human... Pound, Pound, Pound!... Lesser Fae maybe?... POUND, POUND, POUND!... ARGH, I can't think with all that pound-pound-pounding!
The Man-Fae-Guy-Person speaks, but I can't hear anything. He says a few more things before I realize- the poundings coming from my head. My hand goes to my head before I could stop myself. A sticky substance flows from a spot above my ear. I look down at my hand, scarlet with blood... blood... and a shadow-like darkness fills my vision.
********
When it clears, I see the most beautiful, and terrifying, sight. I am surrounded by mounds of bones and skulls that are decorated with exotic jewels fit for kings. Red grass grows from what looks like black ash; it stretches out as far as I can see. The sky is a silvery rainbow, a bit like a fish scale, you know, like a... what do you call it? Oh, a rainbow trout! That's it!
But the most terrifying thing, it was an animal that looked like it was a spirit guide straight from that movie "Coco," but much deadlier. It looked like a dragon mixed with a tiger, with green swirls running up it's leg, and talons for claws. It's torso was also feline, sort of, but had a snake-like quality to it. Purple scales and yellow furry swirls mark it, like a tiger. a serpentine head settles on a long slender neck. Everything about it screams, "I WILL EAT YOU ALIVE!!!" Oh, and did I mention, on all four legs, the beast was about 7ft tall, had a tail almost as long as it's body, and really, really, really BIG wings? I I didn't, well it does.
The creature stalks around me, sniffing here and there, it's cattish eyes freezing me in place.
A thunderous quake shakes the world. Then another. Till I count 7 total. The Dragon-Tiger stops 5 feet away. Something like triumph in it's eyes. It crouches down low into the dirt, looking ready for... the... kill. Gulp.
I shut my eyes, ready to meet my maker...
********
...And feel long slender fingers tilt my chin up. Those beautiful eyes gaze into mine; I barely see a fiery rage before a mask of cool indifference slams down.
"Who did this, Human?" His voice was like a soft Autumn breeze, soothing with a undercurrent of winter's frost. He radiated authority that made me want to roll over and beg for... Bad Brain! She said she wanted to keep this as PG-13 as possible... Huh,who-what? Caspar?
While I stare stupidly at the Fae, he seems to be getting more and more pissed at my lack of response; if the tightening of his fingers is any indication.
"I will ask you once more,Human. Who did this to you?" he softens his grip on my jaw so I may speak, but doesn't let go.
"Umm, wel, see... Uh, what ha happened was, I, uh, fell down the stairs?" I try to look anywhere but him. Let it be know, I can't lie if my life depended on it, and by the look on this guys face, it just might.
He spins me around, faster that I can blink, to face a stair-less house. Heh heh heh, oops!
"Guess again." His sensual voice sounds a breath away from my ear. I could feel every curve of his really muscular chest as he holds me closer. It's making it really hard to concentrate on my lie.
A soft breeze caresses my face. "Take all the time you need, love. I have a lot of patience," he whips me back around and presses me even closer to him. "But my temper is short, and lies, they piss me off."
His eyes burn into me, searing out all the lies in my head and leaving only the cold hart truth.
I didn't fall down the stairs...
I want to tell him everything...
I am alone...
I'm in pain...
The pain is consuming me...
So much pain...
Colin is painfully hot...
Mom is an addict...
Mom should... dump Stan...
He... did...it...
I feel the impact of the bottle before I was fully consumed by the roaring pain.
My vision flickers from darkness to a soundless film, miles away;the color slowly leeching away
A beautiful man holds my feeble body in his arms. A animalistic fury raging freely in his eyes...
Flicker
The Beautiful Man towers over a slimy looking man with a pot belly, who cowers under a chair, in fear of the Man.
Flicker
The Man is holding Slimy by the throat. He is saying something, cool precision masking his face as he commands the wind to raise a knife...
Flicker
Slimy is back on the floor, face twisted in agony, blood dripping down his face. The knife is impaled almost hilt deep in the wall; an ear is the only thing separating it from the wall. The Man looks in disgust.
flicker
slimy is thrown out of the house, the town, and the city by the autumn wind
flicker-
beautiful man is standing in front of my mom mouthing a chant... flick... her top layer of skin peels off bit by bit until the mom i use to know is in place of the shell...
flicker...
the picture is almost completely faded now, the only thing with color is my body... the beautiful man is holding me again... carrying me some...where...
flick...er...
the last of the color leaches from the image... the almost familiar shadows takes the color's place...
hello darkness my old friend... heh
fli...cker...
i let myself... be taken... by the darkness.
fli...ck...er
