"Why is this happening to me?" October asked herself.Even though she hated crying, she couldn't help her tears. With not knowing what was going on now and everything else, she felt lost and confused. No one was willing to give her any answers. She didn't know where she was and missed her family.With a new determination, October picked up her map to study it again. Knowing that it was her way out, all she had to do was make it to the outside and make a run for it. Hoping that she could escape the mad house she was in.But soon after, she gave up on her plan to escape, mostly because she knew that all the wondering eyes wouldn't allow her to.October peeked out to see that the coast was clear, before stepping out into the gray hall. She hadn't noticed it before, but the walls had several paints that depicted people in pain."What is with this guy?" She asked herself, before taking a random turn, deciding not to follow the map.After walking around for a while. Trying to get familiar w
"Would you tell me the truth if I asked you these questions?" October asked after finishing half a pancake."Of course,'' Alistair told her.She thought about what she would ask.Alistair said nothing as he waited for her to start talking."So?'' He asked, still waiting for her to say something.October sighed out. "Can I get some more food, please?"Alistair shook his head, but chuckled. His purple eyes seemed calm and welcoming. "Coming right up, young lion,"October frowned at his back. "My grandfather used to call me that."Alistair said nothing as he placed more food before her."Aren't you hungry?'' October asked, pushing the plate towards him.Alistair frowned a little, then pushed the plate back to her. "I don't eat human food.''October looked up at him. “Human food?''Alistair smiled at her. "Yes, human food."''What do you eat then, dog food?""Don't you have questions to ask?""Yes,'' October said, before stuffing more pancake in her mouth."Ok, first, who are you? Where a
''You have to escape!'' A female face rushed at October in her dream."Who are you?" October asked, trying to run after her, but found that she was stuck in one place."Leave, you have to go!" The female said.Even though she tried to hide, October could still see that she was covered in blood and crying."You have to leave, please. I'm begging you to leave. Take me with you when you do,'' She cried, holding onto October's hand.''How do I leave?'' October asked.''The gate, the gate, is the key. The key is in the rose garden. Leave the gate open when you go, they all have to escape. Help us, save us.'' The voice faded in and out.''But, I can't go there,'' October responded."Yes, you can. They aren't always watching. Escape and take me with you,'' The voice said before fading. October looked around the clouded space, not able to see an inch before her face. She spun around in a panic, wondering how she got there and how to leave. Until an almost deafening buzzing sound rang out in
Alistair made a rumbling sound. "Very well, Lore-beings have been around for a long time, some say that we were around before humans, and when the pests came into existence, they waged war on us that's when the fates decided to make the different dimensions.""Why do you hate humans so much? Wait, that means you hate me too." October sat up and backed away from him."The gods and fates forbid us from interacting with humans at first, but then a god, who plays entirely too much, made a Lorean find his other half amongst them. It is very rear though, but possible. Like with us. And it's not that I hate humans, but I just can't stand them and their 'superiority'. They have this disgusting God complex, thinking that they are smart, when really it is us that get involved with them come up with the idea they have now. We are far more advanced than them. They only have our spoils when we are done and have moved onto the next.""Wow, that's a mouth full.""You asked."October yawned, then loo
A small scream escaped October's lips while she dreamt, as she kicked her legs in her sleep, trying to fight off an invisible enemy."No, get away," she mumbled.Seeing this, Alistair got off his chair to make his way over to her. He stared down at her for a while, watching as the frowned with a deep crease between her brows."October! October, it's okay, it's okay." Alistair said, untangling her from the sheets.Her eyes sprung open, then she pulled at her clothes, feeling hot and sticky. She was drenched in sweat and breathing hard."He killed-" she sobbed, not finishing what she had to say.''It was only a dream," Alistair said softly."But... but it seemed so real, they were camping and then he... all of them are dead." October shook her head, pulling away from him. "It was real. That vampire killed them. Maybe you just don't care because we all are humans." She added."You humans or not, what you saw wasn't real.""I know what I saw in my dreams, and they never lied to me before.
"Who are they?" October tried to whisper, but it seemed as if everyone had heard her."Most of them are the vampire council, well, the new vampire council." Alistair said. His voice held something that October couldn't quite put her finger on."Vampires have councils, and what do you mean new?'' She questioned.Alistair practically snarled at her. "Just stop asking questions! You are nothing but a dumb human and won't understand, even if I break it down for you in baby talk."October frown her brows, not understanding the reason behind his sudden hostility.'Maybe I was from last night?' She questioned herself."That guy in the back is staring at me.'' October felt uncomfortable under his gaze, plus the cockily smirk he wore, set her nerves on end."Because he can. You are nothing but a human food. In fact, you are nothing to us,'' Alistair hissed.October frown deepened, causing her to step away from Alistair."You are you a-''Before she could get anything else out, Alistair had her
October breathed hard, trying to get her racing heart rate under control. She could still see the way they were looking at her, the hunger in their eyes.Out of anger, she hit her fist against the wall. Thinking that there has got to be a way out, she hated the castle more and more every day. And she was having mixed feelings towards Alistair. He hated her, but she could feel herself falling in love with him. Which was odd because of how he was treating her.Tears formed in October's eyes as a knot of homesickness twisted in her stomach. She let the tears flow at that, thinking about her life back home, wondering if anyone was looking for her.Wondering if Daniel cared that she was gone? Or how her friends felt, especially Gem, and what of her family? Did they give up on searching for her? Or maybe they are distracted, still searching?"Do any of them miss me?" October asked herself before letting her head hung, as sobs rocked her body.She missed the way Victoria used to tease her, o
After crying and pacing the room, talking to herself. October ripped the dress from her body before changing into something more comfortable. (The pair of jeans, pink blouse and black sneakers that were left out for her.) Again, it shocked her to see how well they knew her size."I need to leave," October said, then groaned because she knew that there was no way out.She sighed, then walked over to the balcony to look up at the sky, noticing that the Sun was high, which meant that it was midday."Why can't my life just be normal? Better yet, why didn't I just died that day? It would have been so much easier.'' After getting bored with standing on the balcony and just staring out, October turned away to her room, where she took up the map and stared at it. "Well, at least I can roam the place." October said to herself. Pushing the piece of paper into her back pocket, then went out of her room and down the stairs, where she found a door that led outside.October looked behind her befo
