chapter two

Her eyes were like two blue orbs burning so brightly,her face so angelic as she looked at them begging for mercy at her feet.

Her body levitate off the ground,as the darkness intensified around her,making everything look so frighteningly beautiful.

She had the face of an angel, so pure and beautiful that seems like no sin can ever get close to her,but her eyes,they seem to tell another story altogether.

The dark cloak twisted around her ***** body as she sat onto the throne,the shiny black material bellowing around her feet as if it has a mind of it's own.

And perhaps, it did.

The light of the emerald crown in her head reflected the light as she smiled,her smile so pure and breathtaking.

Yet her eyes betrayed her purity.

As if I'm going to save them. Foolish creatures!

They pleaded with all their might,their mouth agape and face sunken as they looked at the damned.

She stood up from her throne, and walked to the man closest to her.

Grabbing him by his hair,she smiled,her tone flirtatious as she asked.

"Didn't you want to give your body to me? What,scared now?"

There was a moment of silence,when she could hear the man swallowing up his saliva,too scared to utter another word.

Beautiful.

The last thing he saw was her brilliant smile as his life faded away.

They tried their damnest to scream, to utter another world but nothing makes sense to them.

Not anymore.

Suddenly, the scene in front of her changed, as if she's looking through a kaleidoscope and what she saw made the hairs in her body stand erect as a chill passed through her whole body making her numb.

There was blood, lots of it. It was a bloodbath,and she was smiling as she crushed the countless bodies under her feet.

Ecstasy

Their maddening cry for help and her maniacal laughter made a melancholy around her.

They are damned for eternity.

"NO!" I jolted awake from the nightmare, my body feeling numb all over.

Oh shit!

I ducked my head as the teacher gave me an warning before continuing with the class.

What the **** was that all about?

I looked around me to see everyone is looking at me weirdly.

Poking at Caleb's back,I whispered, "How long was I out?"

"Not too long. Tired?"

I shook my head at him,still a bit confused about the whole thing.

It's the second time I'm having those damned nightmares. I know it's just a dream but..it somehow feels different.

Grabbing my temples which started to throb again,I closed my eyes.

Those nightmares are making me weary now.

"Hey,you okay?"

I nodded at Cal,suddenly feeling like all the strength had been sucked out of me.

"I'm fine. It's just that..I'm a bit tired."

I'm not sure why,but for some reason I didnt want him to know about these nightmares.

As soon the class ended, I made a beeline to the restrooms, feeling like I'd throw up everything I ate for breakfast.

I rushed to the sink and splashed some water in my face, in hopes of feeling a little better.

I feel breathless, and a but queasy maybe.

What the hell is wrong with me today? Am I getting sick?

I was going to splash some more water in my face but suddenly I looked into the mirror and It felt like all the blood rushed right into my head.

My hands stopped halfway to the tap. It was almost like for a moment time stopped as I stared at the reflection of myself in the mirror..

I felt a gasp leave my lips as I started at my own reflection, yet it felt so strange. Like,it wasn't mine.

She was smiling at me, and what happened the next moment would be engraved in my mind forever.

It mouthed only four words: I'm coming for you.

And then I felt my legs give away as I sank into the ground, but before my eyes could close I heard the ear piercing scream of my voice in the restroom.

Then everything went dark.

;^)

When I regained my consciousness, I was lying in the infirmary with a worried looking Cal sitting beside my bed.

"Thank heavens you woke up. I was really worried about you,Evie."

I frowned as my head started to throb again, and tried to sit upright.

But apparently, my body wasn't ready for the movement yet,I felt like the world

Was shifting off it's axis.

If it weren't for Cal who hurriedly grabbed my shoulder to and stopped me from tumbling down,I'd probably have another concussion too.

"Would you stop being so reckless all the time? You almost lost your balance again."

Damn why do I feel so weak..

"What..What happened to me?"

"Someone brought you here when you passed out. I knew you weren't feeling well,why did you have to pretend everything is fine? Now look at you,Evie."

Clearing my throat,I accepted the glass of water he gave me,I asked.

"Wasn't I..at the restroom? What..what happened there?"

I grabbed my temples as it started to throb again when I thought about the voices.

Should I tell him about it? I've never hid anything from Cal all these years..but what if he thinks I'm crazy?

I looked at his worried features and decided against it,it's better if I don't tell him. I've caused enough trouble as it is already.

"I'm not sure what happened either. I was called here by the nurse after someone dropped you off by the infirmary."

What...who could have possibly bring me here if not Cal?

Looking at him frown as he checked me over,I grinned.

Guess I'll have to solve that mystery later.

"Hey now,big boy. I'm fine,see? Don't worry too much. You're gonna miss class if ya stay here for any longer. "

I pointed my thumb at the clock and grinned.

Atleast I get to skip class for being sick today.

"You sure? I can stay here.."

I cut him off before he could complete the sentence.

"Nah, there's no need for both of us to skip classes. Besides, I'll be released once the ivy is completely empty anyway. Go attend the classes, I need your notes. "

He still didn't looked unconvinced, but thankfully, left after telling me he will pick me up after school.

Once he's gone,I sighed.

Now it's time to solve the mystery.

For some reason, I feel uneasy to know someone brought me here..

I breathed in a deep sigh,and thought.

If someone brought me here, he or she, whoever that is must know something...anything.

I don't know how and why I thought that but I was sure that the person could explain whatever the **** happened there.

And for once, I trusted my instincts.

After waiting for much long,the nurse finally started undoing my ivy and I winced as the needle was pulled out.

Miss Hannah has been in our infirmary since a long time,and being the troublesome woman I am,she and I get to interact on a daily basis.

"How are you feeling? Still weak? You should take good care of yourself, Evie."

Smiling, I waved my hand in a dismissive manner at her.

"A little. I'm a heck of a strong chick,Hannah. Don't worry"

"There's not a doubt in my mind now. But how about you stay out of trouble from now on?"

She smirked at me knowing that's impossible for me.

"Cal is going to come pick you up. Wait here till he comes, alright?"

I nodded vehemently,and leaned my hip against the bed

Acting nonchalant, you know?

"So..do you know who brought me here,miss Hannah?"

As soon as I asked the question, her easygoing attitude suddenly changed and she frowned.

She looked almost uncomfortable when she hurriedly started collecting the stuffs around, avoiding my eye.

"Who was it,Hannah?"

Her frown deepened and she looked away.

"I..don't remember. I think it was a boy. Yeah..it was a boy.. he..he..was wearing a hoodie. I really can't remember who it was.."

She almost looked lost,like she was trying to remember something that never existed..

"You know how he looks? The boy,how does he look?"

I pressed her,hoodie and a boy doesn't give me much to do with. I need more details..

"I don't know." She picked up the ivy and turned her back on me."You shouldn't try to know too much."

What?

I frowned at her retreating figure and wondered what the hell did she meant by that.
