Heaven’s Amethyst Eyes

A/N: This just flowed onto the paper and I didn’t give much thought onto what was being put down except some old fight conversations with my friends. Mind you this people are still my friends.

Hailey stood in a corner smoking a cigarette. Her eyes skimmed the room looking for anything worth paying attention to. The din of the bar room was irritating her. Slinging her black trench coat over her shoulder she exited the building in hopes of getting away from people in general. If her job didn’t require her to react she would never come out at all. She had her heart broken before and she refused to allow it to happen again no matter what. Her vow to herself was to never trust again. Trusting others causes pain and suffering. Memories of self hatred and darkness washed over her as she walked down a dark alley. Rain began to fall.

Once she reached her door she pulled out the keys and let herself in. The small apartment was neat. It was a two bedroom apartment. One was a bedroom and the other her office. Above her black computer was a saying that she liked; ‘Keep Thy Friends Close and Keep Thy Enemies Closer’. She considered all humanity her enemy. She walked among them sure but that was as close as she wanted them. Due to her past she pushed everyone away. Leaning back in her chair in front of her computer she remembered.

Flashback

“Hailey what is wrong with you?” Cassidy screamed.

“You don’t think I know what you did?” Hailey asked in a heated tone.

“What did I do?”

“Don’t play innocent on me.”

“Hailey you’re scaring me.”

“Good. Then my point has been made.”

“What point?”

“That I can’t trust you anymore.”

“We’re friends Hailey.”

“You turned on me with the littlest hint of disagreement.”

“Nothing was wrong with what I did.”

“Keep telling yourself that one,” she huffed as she lit up a cigarette.

“Those things will kill you.”

“Big deal. It isn’t like anyone would miss me anyway.”

“You’re friend would miss you.”

“What friends last time I checked I didn’t have any. They were to busy with their respective partners to even say a few kind words to me.”

“That’s not true and you know it.”

“Keep telling yourself that one.”

“You’re just jealous of what we have.”

“I’m not jealous. I have very few emotions to waste on jealousy If I was jealous you’d know it and I would of killed him when he broke my heart.”

“This will always be about you, you, you… what about the rest of us?”

“I suggest you leave before something bad happens here.”

“Are you threatening me?”

“Take it as you will.”

She put out the cigarette and stared at her friend through the veiled smoke.

“You’ve become something that’s cold hearted.”

“I have my reasons.”

The younger girl stormed out. Hailey visibly sank into a depressed state after her friends departure. She cried into her couch pillow and then beat the crap out of it. Then the tears stopped as she sat up.

“Know this all of you I had to do it.”

End Flashback

Hailey stood in the darkness leaning against her bathroom walls. The cool tiles did little to cool the fever that had engulfed her from the rain. The group had gone their separate ways and now she only saw them a few times a year at most. The conversations only consisted of ‘hi’ and ‘how ya doin’?’ customary pleasantries like that. Then they’d part ways again.

“Great a person like me getting a fever at a time like this.”

“You’re not a person anymore you’re a monster,” her inner conscience told her bluntly.

She didn’t deny it any rate. They hadn’t realized the change in her that day. It was subdued at first but then became more intense once the others left her. If they had stayed a bit longer they could have helped her stop the change but they went their ways and the change took place. Shaking off the sickness she went out onto her balcony to stare out into space.

From across the way a dark figure sat crouched on the ledge of a building. Large dawn grey wings were fanned out. The figure crouched near to a gargoyle statue therefore was hard to distinguish where the statue ended and the figure began. The figures gleaming amethyst eyes watched the girl across the way.

“Beware girl I’m on to you fallen one.”
