BEHOLD chapter 8, sorry for the delayed update, I hope I don't get pelted with tomatos, I got major writer's block and this is all i could squeeze out. Enjoy!~
The stove growled as Rain prepared our evening meal. The light above radiated a musty white, they needed to be changed soon. I shuffled uncomfortable on the couch. I bent my legs and my feet pushed against the stiff seat, sitting "L style". The picture of the television flashing against my face, my eyes were ignoring it. Rain I thought. Who really are you? When we talk, it's always about me. Where do you come from? What joy you channel to me, whats the source of joy? I turned to Rain, a blank expression plastered over her face leaning over the colorless pan, she never smiles when she thinks I am at a gaze at something else. I turn back to the pointless TV show, playing out of the box. Remote in hand, i push my thumb over the squishy, gray button.
"Rain..." I trailed off.
"Yeah Jane?" She said taken away from the show.
"Where did you live before DWMA?"
"Colorado.."
"What did you do there?"
"Lived there." I could sense some tension in her voice. Should I go deeper into it? Should I let her be?
"Anything else? Who you lived with?"
"My parents."
"Cool... " The Tv buzzed on, going on about a hairdryer. She sighed, softly.
"I was, i was kicked out of school, teased and beat by other children because i was different, I was a weapon. After a week of struggling, being locked in my room by my parents who were fickle on the matter,lord death reached out to me, he sent Sid to take me to this school, I am happy that i can get a new start with people who understand."
As I stare at the wall in my bed room, my eyes water from the blinkless trans. I gust of wind broke my blank contseration. I turned to it source, the curtain draped hole. My hand jiggered, as I got up. I smiled as reach towards the frame, and held in firmly. I stood on it and looked down. An empty street on a dark winter night. My eyelids fell and i out spread my arms. A breeze wiped up my hair. No fear... no pain a voice whispered, in my head. What? Whats going on? I can't control myself.
"WHAT THE ~." A familiar voice shouted. I felt a smooth fabric from arms. I opened my eyes to flying by streets, and a dark cloaked figure.
"Oh hey Kid, thought I drop in." I nervously croaked, being now a wear of what I was doing.
"How did, What were you ." He baffled.
"Black Star, was, chasing me, and, kicked me in the air."
"Ok..." At lest it was good enough for now.
"Hiya Jane-chan!" Patty cheered.
"Hey." Liz added.
"I have a job to do, so can you go home?" He stopped his skateboard. I got off.
"Sure." I walked in the other direction. I looked around. Where am I? No lights were on in the windows above. I continued to walk in the direction I came. The wind brushed leaves across the street, my feet crunching on them. Sounds skirmished about. The wind stared to pick up as i closed my eyes something grabbed me.
"Hey." Kid said, carrying me.
"What had made you change your mind?" Silence settled, it joined in our conversations today, but was broken with ungallantly change of subject. His gaze refused to come close to my eyes."Kid?"
Silence didn't give up this time. It sat on my shoulders, consuming time. It was breathing, the cool fall breeze, down my spine. Finally we stopped at desolate cavern.
"What -is tthis place?" Liz instantly freaked out. "Ki-d.. Lets g-o bb-cak."
"Prosperous! We have to job to!" Kid responded.
"Come on! I wanna to take a look inside." I led the way with my sense of adventure.
"No you stay out here, we kill kisin egg, eat soul and come back, and take you home."
"But I wanna look inside..." I pouted.
"NO."
"Please?"
"no."
"PLEASE."
"no means NO."
"please, please please please please..."
He responded as i continually asked. "no non no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no."
I took a deep breath "PLE-"
"JUST LET HER GO ALREADY I WANNA GET DONE AN LEAVE." Liz enturped, covering my mouth.
"Fine..." He said adjusting his "tie".
