Soulless eyes.

Chapter 4

A cut cannot heal,
Unless you leave it alone.
I'll open mine daily,
Leaving bones exposed.

I took a deep breath as the bus pulled into the station and the automatic doors opened, welcoming me to hop on it. I just froze, undecided towards what to do. Should I get on the bus and go to that place full of strangers or skip and just go to the near by park? I chose the first option, not wanting to deal with my adoptive family that would just be bothered by the school calling and telling them I skipped. And with that thought in mind, I stepped onto the bus.

The chatter stopped and almost all eyes were on me, some of them curious and others uninterested and bored. I just stood there awkwardly, I didn't like getting this much attention so I just politely smiled at all of them and took a seat in one of the empty ones at the back of the school bus. Slowly the chatter restarted and everyone was talking and I was just silently pleading for the bus to start driving to school already.

My breathing was uneven and my heart was beating one hundred times per second. I didn't know why I was suddenly so scared and anxious, probably the number of people in a single room surrounding me and making me feel like I'm suffocating in a sea of humans or maybe the fact that I felt like everyone was talking about me which made me think they hated like me already.

All of a sudden, it was silent. It was like the time stopped and I felt everybody disappear, everybody but her.

She sat in the seat right next to me, shifting a bit before actually being comforatable in the leather covered school bus seat. I just stared at her the whole time, wondering what is she going to do now. 'Is she going to hurt me again? Here?' I thought as she found the perfect position and then fixated her gaze on me, instantly making me feel dizzy and light headed like I was falling in a never ending hole, not being able to breathe because of how fast my body was going in the void. I blinked hard a few times, trying to get my vision back to normal, but only making it worse and ending up with a headache. I looked at her in confusion and when I met her eyes again every little thing that hurt felt numb now.

"I'm Devily" she said and her eyes suddenly became somewhat human but still very dark and empty. It was the first time I was able to look at her and not explode in pain and she was absolutely gorgeous.

Her black hair fell in her left eye and she continuously put it back, her fragile flawless pale skin was so white you'd think she was dead and her lips were full, thin and had a light pink shade that every little girl loved. She had her nose pierced by a small black ring that went through her right half of the nose. Her black eyes that looked like the night starless sky very big and mysterious. Her body was very skinny and pretty, making me feel jealous of her perfection.

"I'm Angel..." I whispered shocked by her sudden friendly attitude. The demon that made my life worse every day by making me feel unbearable pain I started to love was now near me telling me her name and trying to be my friend.

"I know. Angel, do you want to be my friend?" she said smiling in my direction, our eyes breaking the stare.

"S-Sure." I tried to smile but then Devily's eyes went back to their full demon form and her ghost hand went through my body sending pain in my stomach and making me legs feel like dying and never working again.

"Don't trust people so easily if you want to survive..." she whispers in my ear before disappearing in the air and leaving me on the verge of tears because the pain was physically killing me and I couldn't bear it yet I carved it and needed it to make the emotions fade. She just left me there, trying to understand what she said...
