•Mysterious Figure

The world was blank, drowned by sobbing that echoed through my mind asking to wake but I just remained still. Memories fled through my mind as I remembered the dreadful night like it just happened and never ended. Not being able to focus I fell to sleep again in a warm embrace that held me still.

•26 HOURS AGO•

My warm breath casted in front of my face as footsteps neared closer to me seeing the figure's shadow blend with mine. All hope drained from my snow like eyes as the world dimmed before me, waking in my bed dizzy, and confused. I looked across my room that stood a shattered window letting in a cool breeze in that swifted my hair to my right shoulder.

"MOTHER?!", it seemed that my worst fear was playing on repeat in my head over and over again making me insane for an answer. I stood ignoring the blood that slowly made its way down the side of my head making a dusty blonde color in my hair and stumbled over shards of glass that was scattered across my room.

The door frame just stood there seeming like it mocked me in ways I could not express but slowly wobbled closer...

The cold floor sent waves of pain up my back making me notice deep gashes in my arms that trickled with a dark snug red. My stiff fingers flew around looking for support to keep me standing only to fail at the very task. The fall shot pain in my shoulder as I heard someone screech my name in shock.

The world seemed like a blur. Niomi stood up slowly feeling the bandages that wrapped around her stiff body getting tighter the more she moved. She looked around the hospital...white, clean were the words that only remains in her head until she looked over to see a male figure crying in the right side of the room.

His sobbing was near a corner of the room, darkened by the closed drafts that hung high up against the large window. She whimpered his name only getting a familiar sound out due to the sharp pang in her stomach that made her gasp of pain. His deep blue hair settled over his puffy eyes hearing her whisper his name only made him sorrow even louder, running over to his best friend to give a hug that seemed like forever to have. Niomi favored his hugs as they were tight but caring yet this time he was only carful to watch the injuries that followed up and down her body.

"I AM SO SORRY, -I -I SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE!", he only could whisper lightly as the words sat there drifting in Niomi's head as he was still sobbing in her embrace. Confused and focused questions flew in her head for her to only come to one main one that stood out...

" How did I become like this....?"
