Marcus
The small apartment building was at the far end of town, and as i drove i worked hard to keep my mind in check. I would not think yet. I could not think. I pulled into the driveway slowly, got out, and walked up to the small apartment complex. I unlocked the door and stepped in and was met with darkness. I flipped on a small lamp and headed to couch. Kicking off my shoes, i fell into the soft, cold leather. I grabbed my IPod and turned it on.
"Dark are the streets, gloom's creeping out of the walls
Dirt comes alive and all the neon-lights call
Demons and fools and a lady of black
She's of the kind nighttime-insomniac"
Vampire by Xandria burst out and i smiled. It was one of my favorite song. I set down my IPod and leaned my head back as the song burst out of the speakers.
"She sees the pray and she's aware
The times are hard but she don't care
"She's a vampire
Desire darker than black
She's a vampire
Reach higher, no turning back
Her wings are curtains of the night
She knows no wrong or right
Dead are the places where this goddess has been
Cold is the skin that this creature has seen
Her universe is an ocean of blood
Her dining table the cradle of mud
She sees the prey and she's aware
The times are hard but she don't care
She's a vampire
Desire darker than black
She's a vampire
Reach higher, no turning back
Her wings are curtains of the night
She knows no wrong or right
The night is blind, the mistress she is calling you
To be by her side forevermore
Follow her until her thirst is sated
An immortal lie, heartblood
Can't help yourself, she's got you paralyzed
So would you kiss the sun goodbye?
And give your life to never die?
She's a vampire
Desire darker than black
She's a vampire
Reach higher, no turning back
She's a vampire
Desire darker than black
She's a vampire
Reach higher, no turning back"
My eyes had closed by the time the song had ended, and this time i let my thoughts wander. First, i thought about Althea. So beautiful and perfect. How could someone so beautiful and pure be made for someone so dark and lost? He thought about how she had looked. How amazing she was. Goddess, why her? Why her? She would surely be hurt now. His mind wandered to Anna, to how he first met her.
She stood beneath the wide oak in the forest at her first ritual. The moon hit her silver blond hair making it shimmer. She was skinny and had eyes like ice. When my eyes fell on her, my heart clenched as if i were staring at a Goddess. She turned and our eyes met, her smile lit her face. He moved close to her.
I sighed and let the night she die come crawling back to me.
As Maiden, her place was next to Miah. They danced as i bounded on a set of drums. My hands were swift as i finished the song. Anna's eyes were on me and i smiled at her. We walked towards the bonfire, hand-in-hand. When we got there, people in hoods were waiting. They ruhed towards us, grabbed Mell, dear sweet Mell, always defending everyone. They held him close to the flames. His hair caught fire and thats when we began to scatter, screaming. They let go of Mell, but he was already dead. I pushed Anna in front of me as we ran. But, someone cut us off. they grabbed her as she screamed. I grabbed for her, but tripped. I hit my head. Out of the haze, i watched as Anna caught fire, screaming at the top of her lungs.
I felt a tear fall from my eyes and i sat up.
A realization had hit me. Never once had i seen a silver cord with Anna.
Anna was never my soul mate. But i had been hers.
