The Darkness crept in on Heather once again, but in sleep this time. The dingy sheets lay across her still body as the night had drawn deeper into the early morning. The vibrations in the wall just over her head never ceased. Heather, on the other hand, had grown accustomed to it and had finally fallen asleep. The room was a black that could only be levitated by the small switch that was the source of light on the wall. Heather awoke and ended her session of dreams through the cancellation of the banging.
She awoke surprised and curious at what could have possibly ended the rough even in the room next door. She was still reclined in her bed as she leaned her head until her ear met the wall. She then heard a slight huffing as though someone had just battled and was dying of suffocation. A creaking could be heard moments later and heather quickly slammed her head back into the pillow she rested on. She heard footsteps move past her door and a sigh of relief came from her mouth as she began to sweat in fear. Her relief was hampered by the sound of approaching unsteady footsteps in the darkness outside of her room.
Heather quickly leaped from her bed, eyes still weary from rest. She began feeling around the room for a place to position herself for her intruder. Her door slowly creaked open and her fear grew as she heard soft whimpering emitting from the deeper blackness of the outside halls. Her door had been fully opened and in stumbled a figure that had been hunched and stammering over its own feet. Heather, in fear, ran past the figure that had already fallen to the ground. She slashed the switch up and the room illuminated with a brilliant white that blinded the two residents. Heather’s vision returned and the figure was then revealed. Heather stood in worry and anguish over the hunched and whimpering Cross Deity. Her white dress that had gone to her knees had been scuffed with one of the sleeves completely destroyed. Her hair was mangled and frizzy. Heather noticed that both of her wrists and her neck had been circled in red and black marks.
Heather rushed to her roommate and grabbed her by the side and staggered her over to her bed by the window. Cross Deity gave no leeway, she was still, she would not move a muscle, and Heather had to carry her to whole way. Heather quickly slung her heavy and limp body on her bed and stood over her concerned. “Cross, are you okay?” she got no reply, just dead crimson and sapphire eyes. Heather asked again and this time all she received were half conscious sobs from her friend. Her eyes filled with water as she lay face up on the bed, they streamed down the sides of her face and she harshly turned from Heather and continued to audibly sob. “What happened?” Heather asked as gently as she could.
