Diana
I hear the soft pat of my feet against the tiles as I walk back from the bathroom, yes i finally have the strength to walk , I still feel like I was run over by a truck , but I have the strength to Express myself more now I guess .
I enter my room and shut the door with a flick of the wrist .. yes I've started using them for the little things , I slip into my pajamas as I will not be going anywhere today ! Despite it being '2' in the afternoon, yh my life sucks like that .
I call Alejandro but his phone is switched off ! They left this morning to attend classes, I indirectly sent them away , they have sacrificed so much time for me already, I wouldn't wanna hold them back too . I feel it though, a sizzling feeling along my arm trickling down my veins to my palms , i stretch my hands open and feel it ..
" Sweet Eve ! " I silently inhale as a ball of energy forms on palms .. I've never done that before , Let the energy stay in one place! It's always been more of a force , but I don't have time to process it longer as a splitting headache attacks my head .
" Bed it is then " I lay down with a sigh of frustration, as I let myself be cuddled by sleep ..
Few hours later ....
My eyes peel open staring into space ,remember when i loved to do this when i was little.. I roll over to check the time on my phone! .
" 5?! Shit how long did I sleep ? " I grumble heading to the kitchen to find something to eat ..
" Mm let's see ... " I open the fridge but I'm actually too lazy to cook anything stressful so I settle for grilled cheese sandwich ! Its like my comfort snack ! I sigh in content Just as I'm about to take another bite, a sharp knock shatters the silence, and a surge of fury flares inside me without warning. The tiles beneath my feet cracks with a loud snap, a thin web of fractures spiraling outward before I could even catch my breath." Shit ! " I inhale loking down at my feet ! " Sweet eve ! Can't it be from one angle?! " I sigh as I go to open the door ..
" Look whose up on her feet!!! " Alejandro exclaims Engulfing me with a hug ..
" You owe me new tiles " i mumur in the crook of his neck ! I drag him into the apartment locking the door behind him without using me powers.. it's already out of control already
" How do I owe you new tiles !?" He asks taking a sit on the couch opposite the Kitchen counter , I gesture towards where i was just seated with my head and watch his expression change from amusement to shock .. " how the hell is that my fault D ? " He excaims standing up to inspect the tiles
" Your knock made me angry and I accidentally did that " i grumble as i grab my sandwich and take a bite
" Well transformation's a bitch! " He chuckles in amusement
" Tell me about it !" I sigh walking over to the couch and taking a sit, waiting for him to join me
" Is this supposed to happen everytime you feel emotion ?" He asks leaning back facing me
" No idea ! " I finish my sandwich rubbing my hands on my shirt
" Any chance you made for two ? "
" Go make your own ! " I snap at him
" Tsk tsk Lazy ass " he jumps up and heads to the kitchen
" Have you heard from Damon ?" I ask him as he gets the bread out from the cupboard
" You realize there's something called a phone right ? " I narrow my eyes at him in warning " well since you are asking nicely, I have no idea " he gives me a full blown smile
" I hate you "
" No you don't D" tsk I sigh as I hear banging on the door
" Get the door Ale! " I yell at him
" Why do I have to get the door? He raises his brow at me
" Because I'm the only one in pain !
" Fair ! " He goes to open the door
" How is she " i hear Ramiro ask pushing past Alejandro to get to me ..
" Wow .. I'm fine too thanks for asking ! " Ale calls after him, leaving the door open for Stacy and Inéz to enter
" I'm okay Ramiro ! " I give him an assuring smile
" Don't let that smile fool ya Rami she had an outburst and the poor tiles suffered it .. all because I knocked " Ale informs Ramiro who in turn Accesses me from head to toe on the couch
" Thanks Alejandro! Maybe instead of the tiles next time I'll Look for a way to sew your mouth shut ! " I yell at him
" You had an outburst because Alejandro knocked ?" Rami asks me
" No because he knocked while I was EATING!!"
" Okay ! Okay " he raises his hands up in surrender! " Come here princess !" He opens his arms and I lean into the hug ... " You will tell me if something's wrong right ? "
" Of course ! " I smile at him ..
" We brought board games!!" Stacy announces raising a pack of uno cards
" I don't -"
" Yes Diana we know you don't fancy Games like these but you will love this One " Ramiro squeezes my arm in assurance before going to sit around the center table
" Common !D ! " Alejandro pats the space beside him for me to come sit .. why not ?
I watch Ramiro shuffle the cards and share them , four four , that's how he shares the cards ...
" I have useless cards .. " I hiss
" It happens D ! You can't win Everytime " Ale smirks at me after a while .. I'm down to two cards and he yells " last card " to the ears of everybody.. I hate loosing ! Especially during games , I play to win not have fun .. " yess check up !" I hear him scream in joy and all I see is red ! I feel it .. Creeping , threatening me , and then I can't breathe ! I gasp for air with blurry eyes !
" Diana " I hear Ramiro call out but I'm too far gone
" Diana ! " They all chorus as I gasp for air .. but none of them can come close to me and when I look at the table I discover why , I see My reflection on the glass table ! I see my eyes turn red and it all happens so fast . Ramiro jumps up to get to me but I hold my hand forward signalling for him to stop and then ... Boom the table explodes with glass flying towards different corners , I shut my eyes close , still feeling it ,craving destruction .. more restless more than it has ever been , slowly gasp for air this time letting the air fill my lungs before opening my eyes , I'm greeted with a blue shield around me , like a bubble ! But stronger .. Alejandro's doing .
" Are you okay D ?" He asks from the other side of the shield .. I nod and the shield disappears for me to get a proper glance of the living room now , the table is no more , glass scattered about and " no !" I whisper seeing a shard of glass embedded deep in Ramiro's skin ! Ale's shied wasn't fast enough
" I - hu-rt - you " my words break in shock with shaking hands, a tear rolls down my cheeks
" It's just a scratch princess!" He moves closer to me but I jump up and run into my room slamming the door shut !
" Common princess ! I barely feel a thing , open the door ! " He calls out from the other side of the door as I slump on my bedroom floor in a mess of tears and As I close my ears an image comes to mind .. a sigil , summoning sigil , how do I know this ? But only one answer comes to mind , "kaerith" I whisper .
I light four candle , close my eyes and a knife from my bedside appears in my hands and I make a cut ! Just deep enough to get the blood I need .. Repeating the words embedded in my mind " venirae mihi ! Venirae mihi, venirae mihi *come to me* " I feel the wind howl around me becoming more Violent!
" Diana ! What is going on ?!" I hear Alejandro call for me banging my door with force but I don't open my eyes till it's done . black sigil formed under my bare feet, drawn in dripping crimson. Thorns wove themselves into a perfect circle, enclosing a raven's broken skull. From its shattered beak, a spiral line coiled downward, ending in three ragged claw-marks. A whisper rippled through the room — Kaerith's mark had been made. Now I'm surprised it's so real since this is all a projection of my blood as I didn't have the right ingredients..
" You called pumpkin!" I raise my eyes to meet his and he narrows his eyes on me " been crying I see " he sighs sitting across me on the floor
" I hurt my brother ! Kae !"
" I did tell you not to hold it back ? Didn't I ?" I clean my eyes with the back of my hands
" Next time you wish to see me ! Just call me and I'll be there " he tells me
" Demons have phones ?"
" Even when sad you are a delight ! Of course not ! "
" So I just call your name ! "
" Yes ! "
" Get me out of here ! " I Turn my head to my door being banged down ! I think kicked down ! " Now !"
" My pleasure!" He drags me from where I'm sitted and I fall in his lap
" What -t" And we fade out of my room .
