Shadows

Monsters you know

Zombies slam into the doors, making the locks on the handles rattle. They curl their broken fingers into fists and punch into glass windows. Their bones shatter underneath their skin as the windows stand tall in there frames, undamaged. Reanna lays in her bed staring at the door with wide eyes. Tears stream down her face falling to the sheets beheath her.

Are they going to get in? How can anyone sleep with these monsters slamming against the castle?

As the night continues the zombies give up their attempts to enter the castle and waunder the island. Wailing and screaming to the only person who would listen, the sky. They limp and cry until the night comes to an end, preparing for the rise of the sun.

Maybe the monsters are finally gone?

Flipping around, Reanna faces the sun's soft glow that shines in her room. It casts purgatory in a pink and orange haze, that slowly heal the land. Zombies crawl their way back to their graves, becoming a fundamental part of the soil once agiain. Sinking into the earth and aiding in returning life to purgatory, until night comes and they rise again. Lush grass covers their nameless graves with wild flowers and mushrooms. Tree's grow their sheilds once again, as the sun looks down upon them. Flowers shed their grey skin, reaching towards the sky with vibrant colours and petals. Nightmare flowers hiss and crawl in the shadows. In minutes all trace of the night before was gone,

How can they live like this, knowing that monsters parade around the castle when night falls? Not knowing if they'll live or die?

Reanna throws the covers off and pulls her eyes away from the magic outside. Opening the closet next to her bed she gasped at the full closet.

Whoever lived here had good style.

Taking out a black jumpsuit out with off the shoulder staps she puts it on and slips her feet into some short boots. Taking her hair out of the braid she uncurls it and runs her fingers through her hair.

Where could Bellator be?

A soft knock echoes in the room.

What if it's a monster from outside of the castle? Did they finally get inside? Is that why it's quiet?

Who is it?" She glances at the door's lock.

"Olivia and Emma,"

She let's out a sight and unlocks the door. Olivia and Emma await on the other side. Olivia had the same mask on but wore a formal purple dress that was sequined with tiny gems, that looks like stars. Beside her, Emma wore the same outfit from yesterday with a different mask that covered that covered all of there face. Silver wires wrap around, acting as a bench for the painted blue butterflies that were dripping on their mask.

"Bellator requests your presence in the dinning hall,"

"Just give me a minue I need to brush my teeth," Reanna hands towards the bathroom.

"There is no need for that,"

Reanna freezes and snaps her head around. "What?"

"You do not need to eat, sleep or brush your teeth. Those tasks and many more, are for the living not the dead. We do not require them to survive," Olivia explains.

Really? Than how do you eat your favrite food? Does it taste like nothing?
Nah, she has to be lying. That would only be true in Heaven.

"If you want you can brush your teeth, you may. It will feel and taste the same as if you were still alive." Olivia offers her a smile.

That will waste time that I need to help Liam.
