Humanity: The Last Hope

Chapter 1.12: The Living Death's Invasion

( Tiara )

 

I reached out at the ceiling, extending my small arms. The room is now dim, the only light that shone through my room was the moonlight that was coming from my veranda.

No matter how long i close my eyes, I can't seem to sleep. Something is preventing me from getting a wink.

  I heard from the students from my school when I passed by them, that if you can't sleep - someone is probably thinking about you. I'm not completely sure if its true though.

Who would think about me at this hour?

But I can't forget what happened today, it's freshly burned in my mind like pictures.

How i snapped at my parents, how i confessed my corrupted heart, how their expression turned from distant to temor.

These vivid images that kept playing in my mind, their expression, how i felt when i stepped on her made me intoxicated in anticipation and excitement.

Is it wrong to feel this kind of thing? Am I really, finally getting insane?

Who wouldn't though? From this kind of family that i am born into, this kind of family that uses one another as if we were a tool and how we lacked love will make someone lose their minds.

I let my arms fall down and placed it at my chest. Somehow, it's still pounding loud and fast, just like how it pounded yesterday and earlier.

I don't understand these feelings stirring up inside me, why does my heart flutters everytime I remember those times when I'm around him?

I inhaled the rose scented room from a candle and heaved a sigh. Please calm down.

I do not know how to satisfy you, my heart.

I got up from my bed and stared at my veranda, it's probably around midnight now. I guess i should have a little air for a bit.

My warm feet touched the cold floor and slightly shivered at the sudden contact, I forgot to wear my slippers.

  Gently putting my feet inside the soft slippers, i got up and started walking towards the veranda, sliding the glass door and letting the cold yet warm breeze in - letting the air flutters my hair and my thin white dress.

"It feels good..." I breathed in the smell of the wet soils and leaves coming from the trees, caused by the rain that happened earlier.

  I let my mind go blank for a while as i stare at the moon, no stars in sight. A sad smile formed on my face as I thought that the moon doesn't have any of its' companions tonight, just like how I am.

The tip of my fingers brushed through my ear and tucked the loose hair that was on my face. A distant stare was visible.

Now that I have said what i feel to them, how i felt about these entire things. What would happen next? I am sure that even if I tell them my words that was kept repressed in my heart, it simply means nothing to them.

My life, will be forever in their hands, for I am the daughter of these two heartless monsters.

I was peacefully staring at nowhere, until i heard a shrill scream from far away.

"What was that?" I whispered to myself as i looked at the direction where the scream came from, it's from the cities.

  It's not just a single scream, i hear lots of screaming and cries, and not only that - into these supposed to be quiet and peaceful night, the whole city was filled with screams and was covered in dark and huge smoke.
