Diana
It doesn't feel so bad ! Apart from the fact that I can't open my eyes for a long period of time ... Before I collapse into sleep again ..
" Are you okay Diana ? " I hear Stacy ask !
" Mhm "
" Your brothers went to get Something for you to eat ! "
" Mmnot hu-ngry " ..
" You have to eat something! I'll be back " I hear her retreating foot steps ... I sigh as I lay on my back ! And take a moment to stare at the ceiling ,
" Diana! " Inéz whispers poking my waist ! " Diana !? Are you awake ? "
" Mm why are you whispering ? "
" I didn't wanna wake you "
" Yet you poke me "
" Better than tapping you "
" What do - you want inéz?"
" How you feeling ?" .
" Like I got runned over by a truck !"
" Isn't the pendant helping ?"
" I think the pain is meant to be so much worse.. so it is "
" I'm sorry " I turn my neck to the side to look at her but her eyes are on the ground
" Eyes up when you are apologizing " she slowly looks at me " why are you apologizing? "
" I just can't shake off the feeling that this is my fault ! "
" Well shake it off ! Because it's not ! "
" But if I had-"
" If you hadn't.. nothing! I'm not having this conversation with you ! You have nothing to be sorry for "
" Okay .. can I stay with you? " .
" Define stay !? " I watch her cheeks turn red in awe .
" Watch over you by your side ! "
" Then you can stay inéz .. I can't keep my eyes open anymore " My eye lids give way
" It's okay ! " She strokes the hair from my head carefully, I hear footsteps approaching us , but can't open my eyes ! What's the difference with blindness ? .
" Is she okay ?" Ramiro asks inéz , I feel the edge of the bed deep to the side
" Yes " inéz replies him , but still not satisfied I guess , he starts to check my temperature with the back of his hands ..
"I'm fine Ramiro ! Just Dizzy .."
" Okay ! You need to eat !"
" I'm not hungry .." I grumble
" It's just soup Diana !"
" Can't - open - eyes "
" I'll feed you , you are going to need your strength" he Doesn't wait for a reply a he sits me up " common princess! , it's warm "
" I don't fancy soup ! "
" Uh uh , say Ahh" I open my mouth for him to feed me .
" I can't -" I collapse back on the bed !
" At least you are almost done with it , Let's hope this pendant is helping " it is. .. I can feel it helping
" Where's Damon ? " I slowly Take note of my surroundings
" He had to meet Dante! " .
" Dante's back ?I thought he was out of town ?" Ugh I feel horrible
" He's back ! And he had to see him "
" Okay I need to rest now " I squeeze his hand lightly before letting the darkness take over ..
Thirty minutes later ....
" Hello Diana !" I would recognize that voice anywhere
" Kae !"
" I see we are on Nickname bases now "
" Forgive me but your name is quite hard to pronounce, what am I doing here ?"
" Where do you think you are ?"
" My personal hell ?" .
" Take it as you may , It's your mind after all "
" What is it with you and my head ? "
" Trust me darling I don't need head from you ..yet "
" Perverted Demon tsk !"
" Why are you still laying down ? "
" Because I'm we-"
" You are in your mind ! Weakness isn't a possibility for you " he signals for me to stand up and I do ! Feeling better than I've ever felt actually
" How ? " .
" We might be in your mind .. but you are with me " .
" Aren't you meant to make my mind painfull, a living hell ? Isn't that what demons do?"
" Well darling .. " he drawls walking closer to me " let's say I don't bite my toys .. "
" I'm not your freaking toy ! "
" Oh no ? Then leave .. Take the reigns."
" You know I can't .. " I huff
" You can ! But you don't want to !"
" Maybe I just don't want to go back to being weak in my own body "
" Or maybe you missed me .. I have that effect on people "
" Or maybe you hit your head before creeping into my mind "
" So feisty !! We will be the best of friends! "
" Why do you love mind games.. why not just come to see me ?"
" Not everyone has the Chance and opportunity to behold my presence " .
" Should I feel special ?" .
" You already do "
" Where you spoon fed with audacity?"
" No I was fed with a golden spoon .. "
" Pride much ?"
" Yes it's one of the many perks of being me "
" You are infuriating! "
" And you are beautiful " what ?! I stare with wide eyes taken aback by the compliment
"..."
" Was I expected to throw an insult back ?! Oh no darling .. I speak facts "
" When will it end ?" I ask changing the topic of Discussion
" When you want it to "
" I want it to end now Kae !"
" Then why are still here ?"
" Shouldn't I be asking you that ?"
" You should ?"
" Yess! You created this "
" But I handed the reigns to you , you will leave when you want to , so why don't you want to leave ?hm? " Even my own mind betrays me ... Should I run ? But sweet eve ! Where will I run to in my own mind
" Running will get you nowhere Pumpkin ! "
" Get out of my head !!! And I'm not your pumpkin"
" We are literally in your head ! And no "
" When will it end ?" I sit back down on the bed , hugging my knees to myself , hoping he knows what I mean .
" The pain pumpkin?" I don't even care about the nickname
" The pain , the feeling .. sometimes it's like I'm being run over by a truck ! And then I feel like a bomb about to go off ! Then when I hold it back ! I go back to feeling run over "
" You have to stop holding back !" He climbs the bed and sits beside me ..
" I'll destroy things .. I know it ."
" You will destroy lots of things .. So much things , you might even hurt people "
" Then why ?! " I question in defeat
" In life .. For beings like you and I , we aren't meant to save people ! Because even if we should automatically decide to become heroes , to become good ... The lives we take will always be more than those we save ! .." he pins my hair behind my ears with a smile ..
" That's not a good thing ! .. " I tell him
" No pumpkin it's not ! But being a demon isn't too , and being an offspring of Vhoramir too isn't ! But whose checking ?"
" No one " no one's checking
" Exactly! Sometimes It's best to just yell ! Scream "
" Yh but then I'd be yelling and screaming at my family! "
" Then come with me ! I'll take you to a place you can yell as much as you want ! And then see the power of your voice "
" Where ? " I turn sitting opposite him now !
" Tell me you will go and Tomorrow I'll take you there ! And you will feel better.."
" Will i be able to return?"
" Smart girl ! It's always good to know the twists of a deal .. most fail to see this , and yes nothing will happen to you , and you will return to your family without a scratch "
" I'm not scared of you scratching me ! If anything you should be scared "
" Aren't you a feisty kitten ? Planning on scratching me ? Didn't know you were into such things .. "
" Perverted demon ! "
" Perverted pumpkin!"
".." We stare at each other in the comfort of silence .. but then I break the silence first
" I have to go "
" Then go ! "
" I told you I don't know how ! "
" And I told you that you do "
" Okay !will this work ? " I whisper laying down .. with eye lids shut ! ..
" Find out "
I feel it ! Like one of those dreams you have , like your soul left your body and you fall back with a thud and your eyes open .. That's what it's like .. I open my eyes with a gasp , to four worried familiar faces around my bed .
" Are you okay? " Ramiro comes up to me..
" Yh" I whisper .. " just tired I guess .. " and I give them my back .. all of a sudden not in the mood to speak
