I feel so hopeless. So worthless. I'm a pile of emo scum just like she said. I'm nothing in this world. I mean nothing to everybody. I'm just a dark empty space, wasting oxygen for the ones who deserve it. My feet dragged lazily across the wet cement. I heard the sound of the rushing water below me as the rain sprinkled lightly around me. My hood up, head down, thoughts swirled around in my head and a tear threatening to swim from my eyes. I pulled out a cigarette and lit it, inhaling the smoke. A young couple walked by with a little girl skipping behind them, oblivious to my pain. I turned my head when the little girl giggled. They hadn't even noticed me. No on does. So no one will know if I'm gone.. I turned to stare into the rushing current under the bridge. I heard a stifle of giggles behind me and I slightly turned my head to meet a trio of teenage girls walking the opposite way of the couple with the child. The girl on the right caught my gaze and I held it. Then she broke the gaze and they walked away. I sighed and continued staring at the current. The water was rough and free. It rushed past all worries and scars. No problems when you're water. The grey-blue liquid pounded into the sharp rocks. Oh how I want to be like the water. I slowly climbed the short railing of the bridge and sat on the wet oakwood. Still deep in my thoughts and being drawn by the water, I slowly stood up on the slim wood railing. My body leaned forward, willing to be in the water, swimming with the schools of fish and wonders of H2O. Just as I was about to jump into it, I heard a scream. "Don't!" I turned my head to see the girl from earlier. The one who glanced at me.It was then I realized.. she saw me. I'm not alone. I'm here with a purpose. She can see me, she must care. Someone cares. Tears slipped down my cheeks as she ran towards me, her friends absent. I turned to climb down, realizing this was stupid. Then.. I slipped.

I entered the cave and saw a red crystal sealed in ice. "Woah." I whispered. The crystal glowed and the ice shattered. I jumped back and fell to the ground, watching as the ice broke completely. My eyes widened and I looked at my hands. "Did I do that?" I asked, but before I could answer, I heard a guard shout for backup as they had heard the ice shattering. I quickly jumped up and stashed the crystal in my pocket before leaving. I crept to the cave the following day, putting the crystal back into the remains of the ice pillar. As I walked away, the crystal fell, causing it to break into a million pieces. I jumped at the sudden noise and stumbled backwards, my eyes widening as a black smog formed around the crystal. "No, no, no, no! Frick." I desperately tried to grab the remains of the crystal, causing one to cut my hand. "Ow! Shit." I whispered, looking at my bleeding hand. "Tch, tch, tch, poor child." A demonic voice said. I looked up and saw that the black smog had two red eyes and a wide, sick smile that was dripping with venom. "I- who are you?" I asked, backing up. "The one who can help you out of here." It said, stretching out a hand. I looked it up and down and before I could answer, its hand plunged into my heart, causing me to scream out in pain.
