The Eclipse 🐺

Chapter Forty-Three: Humanity

I jolted awake, as oxygen entered my lungs once again. I frantically look around, to see that I was no longer at Oak Creek, I was at the High School. I was in one of the classrooms, but I was up right and tied on a chair. I wiggled on the chair, but felt a burning sensation around my wrists and the rope that was tied across my chest. I took a deep sniff as I knew what the stuff was, it was making me weak, and have no energy.

"Vervain," I spoke weakly, as my gaze lifted up to see Stiles, but it wasn't really him. It was the Nogitsune wearing his face. But as I looked deep into his eyes, I remembered what happened to Allison. "Where's Allison!" I spat out trying to sound tough but I was weak with the ropes around me.

"She's dead and so are you. You're friend believe that you are anyway," Void Stiles replied, as his gaze was wicked and smug looking.

"No, you're lying," I said to his, as I held back tears in my eyes as he was lying to me, that this was another trick of his.

"Why would I lie now?" He countered back, as he moves off the teachers desk and stands, coming forward, staring at me. "I'm winning the game," he smirks devilishly as his expression told it all. My heart began to brake, shattering into pieces. Sobs escaped from my mouth, as tears rolled down my face. "Sweet little Alice, her heart is breaking all over again," he teased me, mocking the situation with the death of my family.

"Screw you!" I yelled at him as he just gives me a smirk. He had neared me and stood in front of me, leaning down to my level, staring me in the face. His expression was deadly, like he wanted me to fight him on this, to make a drama. But I had no physical nor emotional energy to do so. My best friend was dead. No, my Sister was dead, and my heart broke like it did all those centuries away. I just wanted to scream in pain and cry all my tears out...

"Night-night," Void Stiles states as his wicked smirk on his face again, and suddenly he places his hands on the side of my head and twisted, snapping my neck once again...

But the last thought on my mind, was that Allison had died for no reason, for no real reason. And if I had given her my blood, she would still be alive, and deep down that's on me. It's my fault she's dead...

................................

My eyes began to flutter open, as I was still tied down to the chair, still bound in Vervain. I felt weaker than before, but these ropes that were laced with Vervain wasn't helping me. It's been a few hours since I was last conscious. My vision began to blur as tears rolled down my cheeks again. My thoughts were all over, my heart was broken...

Just then, I began to hear grunts coming from within the school, but they were muffled and I couldn't clearly make out who it was. My energy was low, but I had to get out of these ropes. I wiggled with the last bit of energy that I had, trying so desperately to get out of these ropes, but it was no hope. I slummed back into the chair, as the burning sensation was still so strong. I took a shaky breath, I was too drained to concentrate to do a spell.

Hope was gone, my hope was gone, all these years hope was the only thing that had gotten me through the days, when I had nothing, when I was at my lowest. So hope was still in me back then, but now, it's gone....

Suddenly, a glow of pinky-coloured light had emitted from my chest around. It was dimmed due to it being under my top, I frowned as the glow began to glow brighter, and brighter. The ropes around me started to loosen, and the burning sensation began to stop. Just then, the rope had cut in half like someone had used a knife and cut it. My wrists were freed, then my ankles were also freed. Lastly, the rope around my chest were cut and the rope had fallen to the fall. I was froze to the spot for a moment, as I had no idea what the hell just happened. I've never seen my necklace do something like that before... But I didn't have time to question it right now...
