The Chosen

Eliana's Perspective: Long night

I went into my room and just sat there for a while. He is such an ass! The first guy I kissed in years and it had to be jerk like him. Poor judgment call, I guess. I ran my hands through my now clean hair. At least he made it back safely, not that I should care.. but that kiss. I never felt something so intense. So primal. But not just primal.. I didn't absorb what he was thinking or feeling. I was able to enjoy just the moment. It has been so long since I could actually be with someone. And then he had to go and ruin it. Fuck.

I stood up numbly and walked to my bed. I glanced around to check if I had any "Visitors" but thankfully the room was clean. I laid down and relaxed. My body felt as if it were floating. The light in my room became dark and unrecognizable. Shadows circled around my body as I lowered down back onto the floor. I could hear voices talking somewhere in the darkness.. I walked into the clouds of black.. slowly getting closer.. Two figures darkened by shadows, "She is like a beacon. Her soul or.. something inside her attracts different entities to her." They're talking about me.. about my beacon. My light.. The vision was like static. Everything was broken and hazed.. the other one spoke, "Yes.. as I traveled here, I nearly was derailed because I saw this light.. this ethereal light.. it beckoned me.. drew me in." I tried getting closer. As I did, a being of luminescence came from the shadows and walked in front of me.. Its wings were outstretched. Its eyes were completely white.. and its features were hidden by the bright light that surrounded it. It spoke.. its voice had so many layers and octaves. I clutched my head in pain, "You shouldn't be here little one. If they see you.. or hear you.. your life could be in danger." I looked at it as it outstretched its hand then continued, "They see you not... But the light that tethers you in undeniably bright and it's only a matter of time that they'll find you." I lowered my voice, "But they are talking about me." It turned its head toward the shadows then looked back at me, "Come." Without me being able to stop myself, my hand reached for that beings. In a bright flash, a burst of light.. I was back inside my room..

And I wasn't able to move. Again.

Fuck.

In the corner of my room was that figure again.. one white eye.. one red.. two horns that resembled one of a rams. I tried to move.. my body refused. Silent tears fell from my face. It edged closer. Softly it said, "Dont cry." Its voice was deep. It looks almost concerned. My heart raced.. It took my whole strength to speak, "Why.." My muscle ached from the tension.. "Why are you here?" I could see in the darkness, the light of the moon reflected off its teeth as it gave a weak smile, "To protect.. you." I fought my body.. it got weaker and weaker. My eyes began to close. It spoke once more, "Sleep now, Eliana. No harm will come to you." My eyes shut. The blackness welcomed me..  To protect you..

I awoke to the sun warming my body. I looked to the corner.. its gone. It came to protect me? Is it possible for a demon to have good intentions? It could be a ploy.. to get my guard down. And with those other beings.. talking about my.. about me. It seems all too suspicious.

I shook my head. Spirit world aside, I still have to deal with the realm Im in now. I couldn't help but smile to myself as I got ready. As much as I am furious with Dametrious, I wanted to look attractive. To tempt him then refuse him. Let him feel the sting that I felt last night. I scoffed. I wore my brown high waisted skirt, with a black shirt tucked in, and black thigh high boots. I brushed out my brown hair and put a black hairband on. I decided to put black eyeliner and mascara on. I rarely dress up let alone dress up for class. I bit my lip as I looked in the mirror. I do.. look attractive. I shook my head then grabbed a long dark cardigan and walked out.

I hated drawing attention to myself. It's bad enough having people naturally drawn to me.. I dont need any more attention then I already get. I like being nonexistent. It's easier to ignore people when they arent trying to talk to me. I laughed to myself as I walked into class.

The looks from the other students naturally followed me. It is as if I put my beacon on full blast and said look at me, look at me. Ugh. I didnt look at anyone.. I didnt speak to anyone. I went straight to my seat. Dametri isnt here yet. I glanced at his empty seat and sighed then put my head in my hands. I swear to God.. if I got all dressed up for nothing..

"Ahem.." I glanced up.. A guy with dark brown hair and green eyes stood in front of me. He wore a navy blue jean jacket, red shirt, and black jeans. His hair was messy and he has gauges in both ears. He smiled then said, "Your name is Eliana, right?" I couldn't help but laugh. Mr. Roberts greets me nearly every day, I'm surprised he needed to ask, "Yes. That's my name. Yours is Tyler, right?" His smile widened as he spoke, "Yes it is. I was wondering.." As he began to ask me a question Dametri shoulders him and walks past, taking his seat next to me. Tyler's eyes go wide as his brows furrowed, "What the fuck! Didn't you see me standing there?" Dametri gave him a cocky smile then said, "I saw you. I just didnt care." Dametri's eyes sparked with anger and warning. A look that said, I dare you to say something else. Watch what will happen. Tyler went quiet for a moment as he stepped back. I swear I could hear a low growl come from Dameri's chest. Tyler shook his head then looked back at me. Emotions vibrated off of him. Making me slightly disoriented. Lust. Desire. Need... and fear. Most of all fear. Tyler spoke cutting off my thoughts,  "If you have time later, I'd like to talk.. talk to you." As I began to speak, Demetri interrupted, "She doesn't." I turned to glare at Dametri but his face was still and unwavering. I almost hesitated before speaking, "You dont speak for me Dametri." Dametri's lethal stare was final in contrast to his light tone, "I'm just saving him the embarrassment of being let down.. considering you're always busy and all." I tried hide the fact that I was turning all shades of scarlet. Tyler gave me a weak smile then said, "Maybe another time." I smiled in return. As I shifted my gaze I could see most of the class was watching the exchange. Dametri looked pompous as ever. I gripped my bag.. who the fuck does he think he is? I glanced at him as he pulled out his book as he smirked. It took all of me not to punch him. It felt like I couldn't breathe.. I've never been so angry. I pushed my chair back and ripped my bag off of my desk then stormed out. I knew everyone was watching but I honestly didnt care.
