melissa's body shifted uncomfortably across her bed. her head shaking violently across her pillows left to right. drops of sweat trace her puckered forehead. her teeth began to grind in a stressed movement. the sound of her teeth like forks on a plate. a distraught groan escaped her body. her eyes popped open, unaware of her surroundings. she felt her mouth dry, her body having a sudden urge to consume. the hunger and thirst hit her like a train.
a light tap at the door snapped her back to reality. her eyes darted towards the door. the room began to spin as she rose from her bed. her hospital gown put at ease from the restriction between melissa and her bed. she put her left foot out further on to the carpeted floor. her aching foot interfering with the carpet. as she lifted her other foot, her body began to shake, putting her body unbalanced. her weak knees gave way to her weight. her body clashed with the ground with a thud, her body continuing to shake on the floor. she looked up at the door, again. she used both of her arms to hoist the rest of her body towards the handle. she hesitated slightly, instead, she reached for the dresser, pulling herself up to face the door. her body felt heavy, the feeling of a large weight was put on her shoulders. she scrambled to the handle, gently twisting the knob and pulling the door open. she saw nobody, nothing but rows of doors. she slammed the door and walked at a fast pace towards her bed to prevent herself from falling again.
even through joel's slumber he could still hear the loud bangs. his body rolled from left to right, his arms wrapped around him. his room felt uncomfortably hot. he snapped awake and arose from his slumber. his gaze quickly flashed from each direction of the room. he raised his hands, feeling his body, feeling no wound or anything. he looked around him, shuffling through the sheets of his bed. he let out a short sigh of relief. he swung himself around, the tips of his toes just barely touching the carpeted floor. he looked at the illuminating ceiling light, filling the room with an orange glow.
"the heck?" his strong welsh accent crowded the room of silence. he stirred questionably around the room.
his heart was racing, and his mind wasn't understanding anything. he questionably looked at his clothes. he only just realised that the hole from the gunshot was still open and bloody through his shirt. but no wound. he let out a slightly aggravated sigh. he laid back on his bed, staring at the ceiling.
he will just have to wait.
the buzz of his alarm stirred him awake from his soothing slumber. his eyes half closed, he glanced at the time. 1 0 : 4 5 AM. his eyes adjusted to the gloomy room. "crap i'm late again!" he shouted. he hurried to the small kitchen several steps from the couch. his uniform lay in a pile crinkled by the washing basket. he quickly slid his arms into each arm of his shirt and buttoned it up. his hands scrambled through the pile of blue clothing. he gripped a pair of navy blue pants, he leaned in to sniff and shrugged at the clean-ish smell. a bottle of deodorant greeted him at the door. he gave one last glance across his messy one bedroom apartment. he swiped at his keys, phone and wallet and shut the light oak door with the numbers twenty-one in a fake gold metal lined unevenly across the body.
"morning!" he rushed through the morning crowd. he didn't care about the weather or the puddles. his feet led him right to the station. he raised an arm to open the door and rushed to his office. it was a small maple wood desk with neat arrangments of pens, pencils and other stationary. a pile of paperwork stood tall on his desk. he sighed and wiped the sleep from his eyes. a slip of paper rested in front of him. he selected a black inked pen with a black cover and white body. his hand began to scribble across the page. paperwork. lots of paperwork.
stella laid on the cold surface of a leather couch placed roughly of the base, her legs climbing up an empty part of the wall. she'd only been here a couple days, and yet she was expecting more. she pushed her glasses up her nose, tracing the frame. she reached underneath her to grab a small rubber ball. she looked at its decor, abstract ribbons of multiple shades of blue wrapped their way around it. it had a rough surface, stella gripped hard. it squished with her strength. she shrugged off a cold breeze and began throwing it in the air. she caught it before it made contact with the cold ground. This beats cleaning rooms and taking out trash she thought. she stayed in the room alone. not a birds call, not a car horn.
she spun around on the couch. her legs firmly placed on the ground. she reached for her glasses again, pushing upwards closer to her blue-ish eyes. her flowing black skirt caught underneath her. she straightened her black office jacket. she reached a hand for her buttoned-up top, fixing the last 2 unhooked buttons. she stood up, a bit too quickly. everything started to spin. she shut her eyes and began to walk. after her third step, she opened her eyes. nothing changed, except the sounds. a loud roar of cars filled the silent and eerie recreational area. she gazed at a window that looked into an alleyway. she watched large metal vehicles block the entrance. angry drivers banging and striking their wheel. she leaned into the window and watch little people walk by.
rain danced across the window. she watched ladies run across the entrance to seek cover. what's so bad about it? it's water. it dries. she scoffed. she leaned into the window in boredom. do something exciting! she scolded, but as usual, nobody heard her. just like always. she watched on as people ran from right to left across the window. using jumpers, coats or another item to shield them from the heavy rain. she gazed closer into the window.
she watched as a group of strangers carried a young girl with a blue scaly tail. what the heck? that's not something you see every day. she dismissed the thought and continued watching in awe. she turned away before they exited her vision. she walked to the door of the recreation room. need something to do. she said loud enough that it echoed down the long hallway. as always, nothing.
zach's lip curled at her joke of a "mad man with a knife". well who said i could never be a psycho dude with a knife. besides if i were, i wouldn't be standing in the middle of an athletic track of a high school full of crossbreeds, now would i? he chuckled at his comment, pressing the towel against his forehead again. his hand gripped around the neck of his bottle. he squeezed lightly as water shot from the bottle into his mouth, a few drops escaping down his lip. fresh air hey? for your entertainment, i shall do zach's most famous breathing technique. he stood with his chest out with a hand over his heart. he inhaled incredibly dramatically and bowed before hailey letting his lungs deflate. thank you, thank you. i won't be here for long and i don't do autographs. he joked.
Miles walked swiftly through the high ceilings of the entrance, his eyes scanning the entire opening. His eyes set on a comfortable lounge set sitting by a large lit fire. He walked quickly towards the two armchairs that faced each other and a long antique looking couch. He admired the designs that were embroidered on each seat. He sat down, his eyes drooping as he watched the embers of the fire spark into the open clean air. Just like home. He felt at peace as he raised his feet onto the arm of the couch. He kicked each black boot off his feet, letting his feet rest easy and comfortably. He pulled out the scrunched up envelope from his pocket, unravelling the contents that it held.
A map, a key and a set of rules. He wasn't fond of the rules page, so he ripped it up and fueled the fire, not reading them. Not like I do anything anyway. He shrugged a shoulder as he watched it burn. He examined the map and sighed. I mean, my room won't be so bad. Hopefully, this lounge stays where it is. Although he loved every couch he gave this one, googly eyes as he thought. He swivelled himself upward to be sitting upright, sliding his shoes back on. He briefly ran his hands through his high volume shaggy hair. in an attempt of looking as "neat" as he could without having to do much. He stood up staring at the fire and saying his first farewell to the lounge.
Miles led himself upstairs where the dorms were held. Gripping the key in one hand and the other holding a map up to his nose. He walked past a range of dorms that varied between reds that represented his brothers. He stood out front of his where he was marked on the map. He raised a hand to grip the handle, but hesitated, standing on his own outside of his room.
