Desire
Okay so i've looked at some peoples journals on here, and a lot of people get prompts from lyrics in songs. so i decided that i'd try my hand at it. The lyric is: Hello there, the angel from my nightmare, and it's from the song "i miss you" by blink 182.
It was late, all the lights save his were out and everyone had gone. It was quite, he detested silence, but he was far to concentrated to turn on his music or let it distract him. he was bent over a steel table, vials and bottles sat over the expanse of it and what space was left was covered with copious amounts of papers.
he concentrated over a few now, looking over information, theories and conclusions; trying to figure out which were wrong, which were right and where things had gone wrong. He had made substantial progress today and it was the reason he was reluctant to leave.
the last few co-workers to leave had invited him to accompany them, they were going out partying or something, but he had refused; he was so close, too close. he had to get farther. what little noise broke the reticence was silenced as the air systems switched off, he paid it no attention it was set on a timer and would be switched back on giving him some noise in half an hour.
wait - he read a line or two up and then a paragraph down and looked over a few lines in two other papers. involuntarily he held his breath and his eyes widened slightly, was this it? the table light flickered. he paid it no attention, his eyes stayed rivited to the few papers he now held in his hands roaming over there content quickly. this was it, it had to be. the light flickered again, longer this time. his eye brows furrowed in annoyance but he ignored it. damn bulb.
he let out the breath he was holding as a smile over came his features and the light shut off, casting the lab and its lone occupant into darkness. setting down his papers he took out his phone and turned on it's light. resting his hands on the table and leaning over his papers heavily he sighed. how predictable as soon as he found it, something obviously just had -
ooooohaaaaaooooh
a soft hauntingly melodic voice sung through the darkened lab. his body went rigid and he straightened, wide eyes stared vacantly ahead as a deep voice spoke from behind him.
"Did you happen to discover something, Dear one?" lungs demanding more air reduced his breath to stuttering gasps and his once controlled pulse raced erratically. slowly he turned around to look at the figure that lived in darkness, that could appear and disappear in shadows; the angel that haunted his dreams, his nightmares.
They stood and stared at each other, cadmium red boring into emerald green. it was so quite that he could hear his heart pounding - fluttering in his chest like a bird and the way the creatures smirk grew he knew he could hear it too. What little light his phone gave off glinted off of the creatures eyes with a watery glow that seemed almost their own and his teeth - canines, reminiscent of fierce animals and - other creatures in movies, shined sliver in the light.
he swallowed heavily and the small sound seemed magnified in the silence. His eyes flicked to the creatures canines and back to its glinting eyes. this - it - seemed so surreal, he could easily believe that this was a dream, he could barely regard it as anything but; however the edge of the table top digging into his thighs as he pressed back into it told him otherwise.
He opened his mouth and for a second nothing came out but air, he could barely speak.The creature lifted its head and tilted it slightly to look down on him from its already towering height, it's lips curled in amusement.
"I am everything of darkness - and everything of light, I am dreams - and nightmares. I am the purest loves - and the darkest sins, I. Am. Life - and I am death. I am your very goals. I am desire.”
A voice in the back of his head sounding suspiciously like his older brother all but shouted for him to run. But he couldn't move, not his legs or his arms, barely the muscles in his lips; He could hardly even get the oxygen his body needed into his lungs.
"Why -- are you here?" the words were quite, airy used with what little air he could spare and push past his seemingly numb lips.
"Desire, Dear one -" and he suddenly burst into black smoke rushing forward. He gasped, body jolting as he tried to move back only to fall onto the table. The creature materialized pressed, flushed against him. one hand against the side of his face, titling it gently but firmly up to him, the other laying heavily on his chest above his heart. It's face was adjacent to his, its lips mere centimeters from his ear. He could feel it's cool breath flow over the appendage.
"I -" and it's hand reverted back into smoke forcing its way into his body, around and through his heart squeezing lightly, possessively. he gasped and his eyes rolled back into his head before closing.
"Desire you. . ."
okay, i just discovered that spell check is 'crazy'. yup. good to know for the future.
and i know that there isn't a name in there at all, i hope it wasn't too confusing? i was too lazy, couldn't think of any names, want it that way. you can pick whichever one seems most right to you! ^_^
