The Nyx's : Part one

I laid there on my bed, looking at the ceiling, thinking about Alex. "I love you." Were the last words he said to me before he left. Leaving me alone to face the darkness by myself.1

I missed everything about him. The look, the smell, the feeling. The way he talked when he was mad. The way he use to comfort me when I was sad.2

"Forget about me. Date other people. Act as if I never came into your life."3

How could I forget? Everything reminded me of him. My window, which he use to come in from in the middle of the night. My house, when he use to pick me up for dates. The smell that came off him, still floating in the air.4

How could you forget about somebody if everything around you reminds you of them? Was I ever going to get over him? No , I don't think I ever will.5

"Jessica," my sister Angel said, coming into my room. "You have to let him go. It's been months. He's not coming back." It was then I realized I was crying. She didn't know how much I couldn't let him go. He was my life.6

"Jes, your heart isn't in the right place. He told you to get over him. What would he think if you spent everyday crying your eyes out?" She said, wrapping her arm around me.7

"I have no heart. Not without him," I sobbed. "I can't let him go Ang. He was a part of me. I am nothing without him. I can't go back to the way my life was. I'm empty."8

Even though he wasn't human, I still had a connection with him. I was in love with him.9

"Please try, I hate seeing you like this. Your a mess. Please just try for me." She said tightening her arm around me. She had turned her face away from me. Before she did I saw a tear go down her cheek.10

I knew I was hurting her. She really did hate seeing me like this. Angel was my best friend. I hated upsetting her.11

Angel was only one year older then me. I was 16. She just turned 17. We were the only two people in our family who wasn't normal. Angel could see the future and present. I was fire and ice. I could make my body temperature go above or below average. I could also made them come out of my hands.12

Angel know what Alex was. She found out the first day I touched him. He was immortal. The most beautiful immortal I've ever seen. The only immortal I've ever seen, except his family.13

I stopped thinking about him because it was too painful seeing his perfect, flawless face again. 14

I sniffed. "I'll try for one day only. If it doesn't work out I'll die."15

She winced at the last word. "Oh come on you won't die. You'll go back to how your life was ,trust me."16

"I'll kill myself."17

She got up. "I can see you love him. I'm not going to make you get over him, Ricky is." She smiled.18

I groaned. Ricky was my crush before Alex came along. He was also a great pain. I swear if I didn't know how much his parents were going to hate me, I would have killed him. "You could bring who ever you want, but for right now I'm going to sleep." "Whatever." She said, gracefully walking out of my room.19

I curled up on the right side of the bed, still sniffing. I closed my eyes. The dream I had was weird. Ricky was taking me to a house that I didn't recognize. "Jessica. I could help you get over him. Help you forget who he is. Please let me try." He said to me. Then he disappeared and a new face appeared. A pale perfect face. I started crying. Then all of the sudden I was in my room. Had I woken up? I got off the bed, grabbed my jacket and went for a walk. 20

Outside was cold and windy, but I didn't care. I started walking. I made it all the way to the park when a figure appeared in front of me. It was so dark that I couldn't make out who it was. "Come here sweetie," The figure said. By the way it's voice sounded, I could tell it was a boy. "I won't hurt you. I'm here to comfort you." I took a step forward. I should really be scared but I wasn't. This figure had something I was attracted to.21

The figure put it's arm around me and sat down on a bench. I laid my head on it's lap. "It's ok," he whispered in my ear. "I'll make it all go away." Then he bite me.22

My eyes popped open in an instant. I was breathing heavy. I touched my neck to make such that it was just a dream. 23

I got up and looked at the window. The air was cold, but I got out and climbed up onto the roof. I sat down, wrapping my arms around my knees tightly. I just stared at the stars. "Look at that one over there. It's you. I'll always know where you are because it's the prettiest one there." Alex had said to me once, when we were at the park one night. 24

I woke up in my own bed. Not knowing how I got there. I thought about the dream I had last night. I couldn't make out the face, but I knew the voice. It was the Nyx's. Alex had told me that the Nyx is a creature in a human form that is designed to kill humans. "He is the most dangerous vampire out there. If he knew what kind of relationships human and immortals had then he would kill until all of us are dead. He'll do anything if it means you die."25

I wondered if that's why Alex left. If he thought that the Nyx was getting too close to us. If the Nyx is close, how am I supposed to defend myself? No I'll die for Alex.26

If that is why he left then I need to find him and fast. Even if it means I have to die. I need to let Alex know that my life means nothing to me. Only his.27
