Darkness Only Brings us Fear (Monster and Blood)

[MonsterellaMarmalade]

What would you do if you had a gift you never wanted? Would you accept it, embrace it, and learn to live with it? Or would you run, hide, and convince yourself it didn't exist? Well Faye Howell decided to do the second one. Ever since she almost died in a car accident at 5, Faye has had the ability to see the dead. She never wanted to, it scared her, terrified her, so she ignored it, she forced the visions to stop. Or perhaps the spirits just stopped trying with her, either way when she was 10 they stopped. She convinced herself she'd grown out of it and moved on. Now Faye is in college, getting a great education, in a nice apartment, with a steady job, and an amazing boyfriend. She seems to have the perfect life, but lately something isn't right. Her boyfriend has been acting strange, especially around her, and people are starting to disappear. Just as Faye starts to feel something's really very wrong, a familiar face drops by. There's only one problem, he's transparent, and he's there with a dark message. Will Faye accept what she can do in time to heed the ghosts warning? Or will it be too late?

Faye had had a busy day, she'd been to class, work, and had even gone out for a drink with her friends. She unlocked her door and pushed it open. She lived by herself in the first floor of a two family home. No one lived upstairs yet, but she enjoyed the silence. She shut and locked the door behind her before she flicked on the light and yawned as she put her stuff down and headed into her kitchen looking for something to eat.

Faye walked into her kitchen, not paying attention, and walked over to her refrigerator before she froze. There was someone in the room with her. She pulled back and looked around the room before her eyes find William. "Holy Christ!" She said jumping backwards where her back slammed into the wall. Her eyes were wide as she took in who was in her room. "W...William?" she asked before her eyes rolled back into her head and she fainted.

With a groan, Faye woke up and rubbed her eyes. She was in the middle of wondering how she got to the couch when saw William and sat straight up. "I'm drunk. I'm drunk or...I've lost my mind," she said staring at him. "You're supposed to be dead. They told me you were dead. You've been missing for over 4 years. What did you just run off? Did you decide you didn't want to be with me anymore so you took off? Why are you here? Why...." She then froze as she noticed a slight glow to him. Her eyes narrowed as, with purpose, she reached out and touched him. Her hand could feel him but it was like touching a shadow. At a young age Faye had learned the differences between real people and her illusions, so she could always tell by touch which was which. But that was back when she had visions every other day when she was assaulted by her overactive imagination. "Great. I'm seeing things again. I haven't seen anything in over 10 years and I start now?" She growled and stood up, walking away from him.

Faye stopped walking when he moved in front of her. "I'll say it's inconvenient, I'm going crazy again!" Then he went to her door and spoke again. Her eyes narrowed. "My health is fine, my boyfriend is fine and....and you...you you you you aren't real," she said. "You can't be real. You don't exist. Ghosts don't exist. If you were a ghost I would have seen you earlier. You're just a figment of my imagination gone astray." She crossed her arms and walked right through him, feeling like she was tearing through the thinnest paper imaginable. She walked into her bedroom and shut the door, ignoring the fact that he could just walk through it.

((It's cool Love, I've had some successful roleplays that are built off of one liners...this was years ago but my point is it's possible to do things with much less than you're giving me now.))


Faye spun around and glared at him. "Oh come on William," she said annoyed. "There is a door there for a reason. And I'm not entirely sure how you escaped my blissfully happy fantasy world where you're still alive but please go back! I can't deal with this. I can't deal with emotional roller coaster that is seeing you. Because you're not real...even if you're real." Tears stung her eyes and she looked away. The last sentence was the main reason she'd convinced herself the things she saw were imaginary. It doesn't do to dwell on those you can't help or save. "The things I once imagined can never happen... We won't get married, buy a house, have children, or grow old together. None of this can happen. So what's the point?" With a small sob she buried her face in her hands and forced herself to shut down the overwhelming pain. With a calming breath she looked up at him. "Fine. Tell me what's so god damn important and then leave. Please."

Faye listened to him a dark look on her face. "That's bullshit. That's not what happened. You got lost in the woods after a party and got mauled by a bear. They found your clothes all torn up and bloody to prove it. Adam didn't murder you." She shook her head and turned away from him and rubbed her face. They had never found William's body and Adam had been acting a bit strange lately. But that was more proof that he was created from her fear that something was wrong and the fact that Adam had gotten angry the other day when she mentioned going to William's grave for the anniversary of his presumed death."Adam has always been sweet to me, he was there for me when you went missing, he made me feel better. He didn't even make a move on me for a year after you were reported dead. He wouldn't hurt a fly and he definitely won't hurt me." She turned back around and looked at him again. "You told me your lies, now leave."
