The house was silent and dark, the only light that was able to reach the dark house was that of the moonlightâs. Within the house, something seemed to be awake and alive; a small slither of light wavered across the floor, dripping down from the crack of the door. The large, open windows that highlighted a beautiful balcony spilled light in from the moon, filling the room with a pretty light.
Though, the room was not alone; a figure huddled onto the balcony, a small flashlight in her mouth. The light shined down onto the pages of the book, and it was obvious by the way her face was in the light, that a blush was formed on her face. Niah, the small girl who sat on the balcony in her long-sleeved night gown was simply reading an erotic book- one she took from the library that was nearly half way across town.
At each page she turned, her blush only grew deeper as her gasps from the naughty things she read became louder. Oh how dirty this book was! Her blue eyes traced down the page, feeling herself teeter in the chair she sat in; she wiggled her small toes as something exciting would happen, tightening and loosening them up when things got heated and unheated.
Niah couldnât help it- especially after the long talk her friends had only days before; how they lost their virginity. They even described it to Niah in full detail; and here she was, a seventeen year old that hasnât even had her first kiss! Niah couldnât help but to feel a bit pathetic; her friends where moving on in life of becoming âwomenâ while she stayed back, dancing in her childhood still.
Despite her wanting to get caught up in the moment with a man she loves, Niah knew that sheâd never do it- at least not now; the whole ordeal about sex seemed, so terrifying! Her fidgeting got a bit worse, now working the chair left and right as she continued to read- her blush becoming a dark, crimson red as it spread across her cheeks.
As she turned the next page, Niah couldnât but to release a slight giggle; one that signaled that she was embarrassed to even be reading such a book. Finally, the long awaited blood spewed from her nose; if it hadnât been from it dripping down onto her mouth, Niah wouldnât have noticed it. She licked her lips slowly, tasting the metallic taste of her own blood before she gasped slightly, shuffling out of the chair.
Her feet touched the cold concreted balcony floor, finding herself creeping back into her room. The red blood dripped into her hand, Niah so desperately trying not to get it on the carpet- remembering the last time she did, and remembering her fatherâs scolding. Her red hair fell against her shoulders as Niahâs head peered out of her door, the creaking of its hinges not helping her trying to stay quiet.
Niahâs small feet tip-toed their way across the hall way, towards her bathroom, where, sheâd hopefully find some toilet paper and her medicine. Despite the time, she was much awake. Niah really didnât like the dark and night, but it was a great reading environment; so sheâd often read her little dirty books at night and hide them between her mattresses during the day.
Once she made it to the bathroom, Niah silently closed the door, her hands softening the creaks and slams of the door; the result of the house becoming its age. Niah spun on her heels, flipping on the light as she did so. Her hands grabbed onto the mirror, opening it to find her nose bleeding medicine; she grabbed the toilet paper as well, wiping the already dried blood off of her hand- pretty much staining her hands.
She wiped her nose before tilting her head back, pouring the medicine inside her nose- to her luck, it might even stop her nose from bleeding more into the night. Once she was done, she washed her hands and decided that it might be smart to bring a roll of toilet paper to her room; just in case. Niah turned off the lights, and crept back to her room, opening the door silently before stepping inside.
The air from Lukeâs lungs completely escaped his mouth; leaving him entirely breathless. He panted violently as he kept running- refusing to give up. He had lost track of how long he has been running, but rounded it up to being about two or three hours- damn, how long where these damned hell guards going to chase him; all night? Already, Luke wanted their endurance; his greediness was the only thing that powered him now- there was no way in hell he was going to let them beat him.
Luke turned the corner, diving into a small neighborhood, his blue eyes looking back at him to see whether they were following him or not- which they still where. He cursed under his breath; he was truly irritated. Luke turned his body towards his right, just barely jumping over the fence- and to his luck, the damned people had dog! Great! Wasnât everything just going peachy for him; being chased by the hell guards, now being barked at by those blasted creatures humans call dogs!
The black and tan dog jumped up at the sight of Luke, which only caused him to stare back before the dog nearly pounced on him; Luke just barely avoiding it as he jumped another fence, his body just barely twisting it to an angle where he was able to get over. He didnât dare look back, but the yelps of the dog before silence only told him that the hell guards where still on his tale, and werenât going to ease up.
He could feel the stinging pain in his hands from jumping over the fence- though he tried to ignore it, no matter how immense the pain was becoming. Luke jumped over another fence, then another; it wasnât long before he reached a wooden fence, climbing against it before balancing himself before he nearly fell against the roof of the house. It didnât matter though- he scrambled to his feet and pulled himself up towards the roof, not caring of how much noise he was making underneath him.
Luke climbed behind the arch of where the window was, hiding himself from the hell guards; his greed coming in place once again- the greed of wanting the power of the hell guards, the greed of wanting to be free. Damn it all! Luke then, cast a slight spell, Corena, that to his hope would make him invisible as well as the house. His blue eyes watched the hell guards search for him, he held his breath as he laid low, before he watched them take off, continuing to go forward.
A great deal of relief washed over him as he released a sigh, though, still becoming quiet as he watched them disappear into the darkness and distance; heâd stayed there for quite some time, before scrambled himself off of the roof, nearly sliding off of it and hitting the ground. His body ached all over, it pounded into his head as he rested in the backyard of some unknown personsâ; trying to catch his breath.
