I woke up in the morning, feeling horrible. I felt my forehead, and it was super warm. Oh no... I have a fever... I'm sick. My nose started running, so I wanted to get rid of the dumb mucus. I got up, and felt a chill in the air. My window was open...
So my wet hair and the cool air... made me get a cold... A summer cold...
I want to go to the guild hall... but I feel super sick. I sneezed, and felt like someone shot me in the head. I rushed to close my window, and I went downstairs to the bathroom. I blowed my nose and used the bathroom. I felt so sick. Really badly. I ''wanted to cook something, but I feared getting Natsu sick. So I didn't.
"Morning Taka! What's for breakfast?" Natsu shot me with his big grin. I nodded.
"Sorry Natsu. But I seem to have caught a cold. I wont be able to cook today. I'm sorry I got sick..." I felt gloomy. Natsu sighed.
"That sucks... But its ok. Dont overwork yourself." Natsu rubbed my head, as if I was a dog. My heart raced, under his touch. Natsu... When will I be able to tell you my feelings? I walked back upstairs, and sat down, on a chair by the new desk I bought the other day. Since I'm not doing anything today, I might as well continue writing my story. What I liked to do in my spare time, was to write and read stories. But since my death is nearby, I stopped doing what I loved. But I figured to myself, Dont worry about it. Live the fullest during my ending days. So I spent the day writing a story that came into my mind just a few days ago.
~~
There is a town, deep in a forest, being hunted my monsters named Nightmares. These evil creatures fed and nourished from human blood. There is a town, surrounded my walls, and always guarded. The main characters are a boy named Josh, and a girl named Jolene. They both grew up together as childhood friends. Jolene lived with Josh and his family, for she was an orfan. Her parents were taken away by Nightmares, and she never saw them again. Both the children grew up together, before they both began developing feelings for eachother. Once they were 16, they both finally confessed their feeling towards eachother, and both began to date. They both were very happy. Until one day, Josh was kidnapped.
That night, Josh was infected. The people that kidnapped him inserted some liquid to his blood. The insertion caused so much pain, that Josh passed out. Once he awoken, he saw in the reflection of water, that he grew fangs, and small horns. He had been turned into a Nightmare. Half human, half nightmare.
Josh was afraid to go back to his hometown, to show the evil thing that he has become. But what feared him the most, was how Jolene would feel. How would she feel, seeing her beloved like this? A monster like those who took her parent? Those who she despised and feared? Could she ever possibly still love him, after he turned into a nightmare?
~~
I kept writting all day, my interesting sad love story. My mind was so focused on it. I spent maybe 2 hours writting, before I knew that I was hungry. I havent eaten breakfast. so I went downstairs, and found a bag on the table, with a note. I opened the note.
Hey Taka. I went out and grabbed you some food. I dont want you to overwork yourself while youre sick. So eat this and feel better soon. I have to go on a job, but I'll be home soon.
-Natsu
Oh Natsu. He got me this. I ate the sandwiches, and went back to my room. Yoru finally woke up, and started to take care of me. He made sure I had water and tissues. I was thinking about Josh and Jolene. About a scene when he comes back to see her, at midnight.
~~
It was around midnight, when Josh sneaked into his own house. Afraid to be seen by his family. He didnt care if the whole world hated him. He only needed her.
He stood over her sleeping form, and started at her slowly breathing. His mouth began to salvate, and he tried not to even think about it. He was starving. It was hurting him. It was like hell. Starving for a Nightmare is utter hell. He nearly almost bit her shoulder, until she woke up, She nearly screamed, when Josh quickly put his lips to her's. He kissed her to shut her.
She realized that it was Josh, and kissed back, unknown to his new form. Josh's appitite grew hungrier, as it was diffucult to control himself. She turned on a light, before she could even hear Josh telling her not to. To her shock, she saw Josh with his new horns, and Fangs. He was ashamed, and looked at her with sad eyes.
"Jolene... I've turned into this. I've turned into a nightmare, and I dont know why..." Jolene trembled, as tears filled her eyes. He felt guilty to make his beloved cry and make fear run through her veins. So Josh escaped into the moonlight, hating himself, for what he has become.
~~
"There. Thats good for now. That's one chapter." I stratched myself in my chair. "I think I'll draw now." I spent the rest of the day sketching what Josh would look like before and after the Nightmare effect. And I drew a picture of Josh and Jolene kissing in the moonlight, and Josh in his nightmare mode.
I wanted to go out and buy myself a book. I got dressed, and got some money together. I left the house with Yoru, and headed to the book store. I bought myself a book. The title of the book was Midnight Dancing. It was an interesting story that caught my attention. It was about an orfan boy falling in love with the kindest girl he has ever seen. The summary was very interesting and sucked in my curiosity.
She was pure kindness, and he doesn't know how to express his feelings. By reviews, it has alot of feels, and it punctures your heart. I bought the book, and made it back home. As soon I got home, I plopped onto the couch, and started reading the book.
I was able to get through the first chapter, feeling utter feels. It was sad how the boy boy was seperated from his family. And that they were murdered infront of him. Reminds me of my situation... I couldn't put the book down.
I fell asleep on the couch, thinking and picturing the poor boy's situation.
Poor Christian...
