Sitting in my line of vision was a creature.... A winged creature. It's skin glowing black with a few heated red highlights on the cracks of shed skin. Bone wings sprawled around in a twisted way and ripped at the tips.
It was big, at least in size of a graphic drawing. The large pawns digging at the soil with long black ink demonic fingers. Then the eyes. They looked vaguely familiar. Large blood red eyes with a crumbled scar across the left one. It's mouth hung wide open showing a display of huge canines like razors ready to destroy.
We all stared at the paper. I didn't get the point Faye was trying to make by showing me this.
So...
It's a picture of a red eyed demon, probably from an old fairy tail considering how old and rusty the book was.
"Faye what does this have to do with anything? "Ming chimed.
'Oh thank God it didn't have to be me.'
"I don't know if you remember but this was the exact creature that I saw that night I swear. "she was looking at me now. "I remember how terrified I was just by looking at it but it didn't even bother me, almost like it didn't notice I was standing there at all, but it did" she went on "and the moment you stepped in that room there was this empty void and flow of darkness, that's when I blacked out." She flipped unto the next page. "look here ".
I followed my eyes to the area she was pointing at.
"Lilith. The first wife of Adam, mother of all demons and the third in line to the throne of abyss "
It's settled, Faynelle is loosing her mind. But I'm not going to tell her that.
She paused to look at me then at Ming then back at me.
"I'm not crazy Dianna. I know what I saw "it was like she could read my mind. She looked so serious, and it scared me, the Faye I know is all on fun she never really gets serious except the time her boyfriend Rick dumped her for someone else because he didn't take her seriously. Not to mention she called me by my full name.
Now I'm really worried. She's taking some fictional fairy tail into reality with too much seriousness and what hurts the most is that she had abandoned her dreams to become a graphical artist for this! And it was all my fault, if I hadn't ended up in that accident and landed my self in a coma, she wouldn't have been so depressed and started obsessing over nothing.
"Oh don't you dare give me that look Dian! "she was clearly annoyed, I could see it.
"What look? "
"The one where you start to pity someone and have a sting of guilt to it".
"I'm not giving you that look ".
"Yes you are!"
"You are probably obsessing over nothing Faye, I'm sure it was just some wolf that got lost somewhere out in the forest " Her face was red and she was trying so hard to mask her anger.
"It wasn't a wolf Dianna! For the love of God. Ming had to move out because of the damage that thing caused at her house. Have you been there since you woke up? A wolf can't have the foot print bigger than that of a papa bear!" her hands went flying in the air as she let her frustration out. "I've already been through with the cops when they were investigating your case, and then with my parents, please don't let me go through this with you too" she pleaded.
I honestly didn't know what to say. I didn't want to hurt her feelings by telling her she's walking on a load of false belief and that maybe it was the trauma after the incident that was making her act like the way she did. So I just kept shut.
