Setting
Ari was sitting on the ledge when she felt a warm wind against her neck, almost a human's breath? Ari turned to the left and then to the right when her eyes met his. Jacob. Ari gasped and squirmed backwards. But it was no use. He grabbed her and shoved her closer against him. Her heart was beating rapidly. "Let go off me Jacob!" Ari whispered swiftly. "I've been searching for you for a while now... You never technically broke up with me so were still dating..." Jacob grinned and squeezed harder causing spots to rise on her arm. Ari's vision was becoming blurry, dotted with dots of red. She was gonna pass out. "I hate you. Its over. Go now!! Please!!!" Ari pleaded as the pain got harder and instinctively she moved forward. Falling into the lake with Jacob tumbling in after. Jacob flailed around, swishing the water, making it murky. Ari felt him try to grab her multiple times but she wriggled out of his grip. She swam to the other end of the lake where it was shallower. She ran when it was shallow enough and heard the thumps and splashes of Jacob a little ways behind her. Ari ran, ignoring that her clothes were drenched. She had to escape. She ran to the forest's edge and spun around, sneaking a glance. But he was gone? Had he actually been there? Or was it an imagination.. The falling in the lake part was real but... Had Jacob been there? The coldness was taking over now. Ari shivered and sprinted towards the house... Ari bolted into the house and thundered towards her room. She didnt need people seeing her soaking wet and asking her what happened. She didn't want to tell them it was her imagination. She didn't want to be the vampire girl who was also known as the mental freak. Ari wasnt mental, but she didn't want to acknowledge the fact that Jacob may have also found her.
Tears poured from Lanuya’s eyes. Some how the wrath of at least one person was gone, and that had helped, calming her enough to begin to breath again. But now... may God save her soul... it was not only the bitter thoughts from it others, it was those of everyone else she had ever heard. She had ever ignored. She had ever helped. She had ever changed. She had ever known, all coming back to kill her mentally and cause her to kill another. The girl she had complemented earlier that week, the boy who she had encouraged and the other girl who she'd turned from suicide as well as the other people through her lifetime. Her breathing was labored and her body shook violently as if she was being electrocuted. The entire floating sphere around her was vibrating, making a humming noise that was driving the birds near it to dive towards the ground in a suicidal manner. It echoed a whistling of Lanuya’s banshee scream as the creator curled up inside, sick and suffering from this talent she had the odasity to call a 'gift'.
It had never been this bad, and the only reasons it was this awful were probably because: 1) Lanuya had been caught off guard, letting through a sudden rush of the other’s emotions. As one person can handle their own emotions with difficulty, try to imagine hold one person would cope with over ten separate profiles with their own personalities and emotions. And 2) The anguish that was created was not by normal people; instead it was all created by supernormal beings. Then multiply that by about 15 and shove all that velocity into the head of a young girl. It was understandable why Lanuya’s ability to control herself had suddenly shattered and left chaos and destruction in her wake. And her sanity, which was held in her two litle kittens, was dying already, Sugar had ceased to move and was slowly sufficating as Velvet now was a foaming crazed animal in the hallway.
Slowly, though none could see, Lanuya's eyes began to beome completely gold: a signal that her limit had been reached and now was a ticking time bomb. Softly, the voice of the man who had first caused this eruption of power spoke to her, mocking, taunting, chanting, whispering, offensing, cursing and driving Lanuya to... to... kill. Kill the nonexistant cause of the voice. Kill the speaker. Kill anyone. Lanuya pulled her hair, sobbed and screamed; merciless as the voice that now grew louder, the last shreds of her sanity that had been the only wall between her mental catastrophie and normal were being eaten away. And it was killing her as there was nothing she could do but vaugely hope that no one was near enough for her to kill.
Surely Lanuya would grieve for them and for the destruction she had caused, but for now she was unconscious and exhausted, her chest barely rising and falling in a breathing motion. Her heart beat softly and her skin was abnormally warm to the touch, bordering on hot as if she had a fever. There were few but reassuring motions that claimed Lanuya to still be alive, despite her current state. In fact, the others who had not died we're probably in worse shape. Coma, paralysis and at minimum a throbbing head were all easily know conditions of her little show. In fact, out of everyone in her general vicinity, she was comparatively in the best heath regardless that she had blacked out from exhaustion and her body temperature was far above normal.
This didn't stop her however and Lanuya's eyes, once the glowing had faded completely away, opened slowly as if she had just open from a long sleep. But the moment her eyes opened and she saw the death around her Lanuya's heart missed a beat. Immediately she looked at the one, an actually dragon, who had caught her. She gasped and knelt beside him. "Oh no... Oh no! I am so sorry! Please, I'm begging you, tell you you're okay! I'm so sorry!" This dragon was obviously the second presence she had felt and she prayed she had not broken him like she had the elderly man from before.
But if this was the second... Who was the first? Lanuya's heart stopped. There was only one who could have felt so comforting or been caring enough to risk so much at the same time. David. "David-" Lanuya called tearfully, standing and running towards a shape not far from the dragon or herself. "David!" Lanuya tried to run to him, but was too weak and fragile, instead collapsing halfway between the two who lay on opposite sides of the clearing. Sobbing, she tried to crawl to him, but like before her body ceased to response to her commands and her vision began to flicker again as she pushed herself to move. "How could I have done this...? I am a monster... a murderer!" Lanuya's voice echoed though out the clearing, as her thoughts were spoke aloud. The power had not quite yet faded from her vicinity, making her thoughts like voices and saying what ran through her head outloud. "What have I done?! Please! Please forgive me! Please... don't die like the others!"
