Nightmare. [2]
Potentially triggering stuff under cut. Tagged just in case. You have been warned.
She wasn't herself. No, she was an angel... or a ghost... people with black eyes walked past her... they picked up the pace and soon were whooshing by...
Her feet never touched the ground. She could see two in the distance... she was so cold... she could feel herself shivering, but she wasn't shivering...
Two figures were ahead. There was a pool of blood on the floor. She could hear frantic speaking, but it was muffled. A sharp pain ran through her chest and brought her to her knees... she felt even colder... like ice filled her insides. She looked up and he was looking down at her, his eyes scared... like she'd sent fire at him.
Thorn. It was Thorn.
She tired to reach for him bu her limbs were too heavy. He screamed her name. She couldn't respond.. he was screaming so loud....
"ALLIE!"
She jolted awake, half out of her blankets, the window open for some reason. The chill had blown in and Allie was shivering violently, willing herself not to be sick. She tried breathing fire into her hands but nothing came out... a pathetic wisp of smoke came out. She whimpered, curled up under her sheets, trying to stay warm...

"Can you feel it now, bitch?"
Someone spat in her face and she was on the ground. The pavement felt hard, and her head was ringing with pain. She felt like claws were tearing into her skin, pulling her apart. There was someone kicking at her leg and she screamed but no noise came out... her leg was being pushed past its limits...
"CAN YOU FEEL IT NOW, BITCH? THIS IS WHAT YOU GET! YOUR DAD'LL PAY."
Rachel spit on her face again and slapped her hard across the face. Allie's cheek stung and she yelled out, but again, there was no noise...
She saw a shadow in the corner, and everything slowed down...
She saw him.. it was Thorn. He looked at her with the most broken expression. She tried crying out for him... he didn't hear her... the bond between them... her heart ached more, and she felt as though the knife was in her chest again...
"No, please.." She finally choked out and suddenly there was a knife in her chest. Michael laughed wickedly with the others and Thorn turned away.
"NO!"
She was awake again, her body aching. She had contorted rather awkwardly in her sleep and her textbook was laying on her chest. She shoved it off, the blood rushing back into her arms and looked down at the faint scar there...
She couldn't shake the look on Thorn's face and suddenly Samael's voice echoed in her mind.
"He's finally at peace now..."
--
"Can you see the stars?"
"There's so many!"
"Try counting them."
"Don't be silly, that's impossible!"
She laughed and looked at him, and he smiled at her.
"I love you, Allie."
"I love you, Thorny."
And they kissed. But when they pulled apart, they were in his casket and he was dead. Someone closed the casket on her and she screamed. She could hear the dirt pouring onto it and someone giving a sermon.
"NO, WAIT, I'M NOT DEAD!"
"Ashes to ashes.. dust to dust..."
She was gasping, slamming on the coffin door when something wrapped tightly around her. Terrified, she looked to her side and his bloody eyes stared into hers... She screamed, slamming harder, but he wouldn't let go..
She screamed finally and someone was pinning her down. She looked up to see Alex, panting.
"C-Creator.."
"Allie, you were screaming.."
"Oh, God.." She wailed and clung to Alex. The older girl pet Allie's hair, not hesitating to hug her bag.
"It's okay... You're special..."
"W-What?" She looked up and Alex was suddenly Thorn, smiling down at her.
"You're special."
He pushed her and she could see the almost golden rope between them suddenly break and he fell into the shadows while she fell to the floor, and woke up.
