Ophelia Brookshire's Story

It was winter and the storm outside was making it nearly impossible to sleep. Ophelia though could sleep, though at the moment all she wanted to do was wake up and she just couldn’t her body wouldn’t allow it, she might as well be in a comma. She had the same nightmare practically every night, you think one would be used to it by now.

She would see her sister running and then she stopped and when she turned around the whole front side of her body was mutilated. She shot straight up breathing heavily, sweat beads dripped from her forehead.

“Amery.” She whispered her sister’s name softly, she had never been the same after her sister died.

She glanced out the wind, the rain poured from the sky angrily and lightning cracked lighting up the room for a second before it went dark again. She hoped she hadn’t waken her roommate Evelyn, but she honestly didn’t know how she was asleep with the weather the way it was. She decided to head down stairs, it was a hot chocolate kind of night, she thought.

Eve awoke to her roommate, Orphelia having a night mare in the bed opposite hers. She felt bad for the redhead but there was nothing she could do for the girl. Ophelia had these nightmares so often it had become pretty much a regular occurrence. Softly closing her eyes Eve let herself drift into that place where your not quite asleep but it definitely can't be counted as being awake. Somewhere in the back of her mind she heard her roomie get up and she heard the door close gently. After a few more moment that felt like hours Eve rolled herself out of her warm, comfy bed. Looking out the window she caught a few glimpses of lightning as it lit up the sky. It seemed like forever away from where she was.

Eve stood and watched the rain a lighting a little longer. That was just one of the things she had never experienced for herself before she came here, rain. Her parents were much too afraid of her getting sick to let her go and play in the rain. She still remembered the first time she experienced rain, everyone at Club Zero had looked at her like a complete nutter. Laughing lightly Eve found a baggy jumper of hers on the ground and putting it on she left her room in search of Orphelia. It wasn't like she was going to be able to get back to sleep with the weather the way it was.

While she was looking for Orphelia though she saw Mika. He was crumpled on the floor next to a window. He just look like such a mess, Eve just wanted to ran up to him and hug him. Though she knew that would only make thing worse, she knew him well enough to know he hated any kind of physical contact. So slowly walking up to him she tried to make walk loud enough for him to hear her so ho wouldn't be surprised by her presence. Smiling sweetly, though albeit, kind of awkwardly she sat herself down next to Mika. She didn't say anything though, she didn't know what to say anyway. She just hoped her presence was comforting enough without the actual words part. Seeing the boy like this broke her heart in two and the worst part was she didn't know how to fix it.
