Eliza

I could hear voices, far away from me. I felt paralyzed. I don't know what happened. The last thing I saw was Landon's face, telling me to run. Then, it was just black, darkness. I could only feel someone's hands on my chest, pressing down hard.

I couldn't say anything, couldn't moved nor could I see. It was just black. Every time I tried to open my eyes, they shut back down with a bigger force. But somewhere around me I heard people talking.

A conversation. I could hear a familiar voice somewhere. Somewhere far away. "She's dead isn't she?" Someone asked, "unfortunately, It's okay Landon. Everything will be fine, the funeral is about to start." Someone said, "Zenthilha, will burn into ashes for this." The persons lips tightened, "shush, child." Someone took multiple steps towards me.

"Eliza, was a strong spirit. She was brave, smart and loved by many. Even if she doesn't know that. I want her to know that in the short amount of time that we knew each other, I grew strong feelings towards her, strong undeniable feelings. I-I lo-like her. Not just like, but no word can describe it. I miss her, King Zenthilha will pay." Letting out a sigh the person stepped one step closer to me. "Elizabella Anne Kwiatkowski, If you are listening to this somewhere in the world, I told you I would be there for you, but I was proven wrong." A very quiet tick fell somewhere near me, "I'm sorry," they apologized, "I remember the first words she said to me they were, 'You've been asleep for a while.' And now she's gonna be asleep for a while." Another tick came and then another. One after another, until a new voice came.

"I didn't know, Auntie Eliza very well but she's nice. And I wish I could talk to her again." The voice finished, if only Georgia could hear me right now. I'm listening somewhere near all of you.

"I tried to save you, Eliza. But Lover boy was in the way, I'm sure I could've saved you. If it wasn't for him." Snarled another voice. And then another voice spoke and then another, 6 in total. After that I couldn't hear anymore voice.

I was trapped. I tried moving my arms to feel around me but I was confined to a tight box.

"Help..." I tried to shout, coming out as a sound even quieter then a whisper. "Someone please..." I tried to yell. Nothing. I am hopeless. Hopeless again like when Jonathan took advantage of me. I could do anything. I can't not do anything! I need to do something! I CANT BE HOPELESS AND DROWNED IN DESPAIR AGAIN.

I need to beat it, I need to beat my darkness. "AHHHHH..." nothing, I tired again and against until..... the oceans are calling me. "AHHHHH!!!" I screamed, I could hear water surrounding me. The running around the small box I was contained in. I could feel power and strength grow inside of me. "Eliza?!" Someone said from outside, "AHHHHHH!" I use all of my voice, water was seeping into a box, pushing at the top of the box I burst into the light.

My lungs filling up with fresh air. "You're alive!" Landon yelled, running towards me. His warmth filling me with relief, his charismatic smile feels like a hug in itself. Wrapping his arms around me, as I wrap my arms around his rigid back.

"It's really you." I choke out, "I thought you were gone." He cried, "I was listening to every word you said." I smiled, "ahh, you two lovers back again, together, forever of course. Just like in those fairytales." George came in, "Still salty you couldn't save me?" I asked, "maybe a little." He chuckled, "everyone else is back near the waterfall." He said, "I see," giving him too a tight hug.

"I'll leave you two alone." He said as he walked off. "Sooo..." I started, "you love me?" I riled my head to the left, "I didn't say that, did I?" He said, "I supposed you didn't complete the word." I say, stroking his cheek.

"How long have I been gone?" Changing the subject, real smooth. I don't feel like kissing anyone right now, especially when I just found out my "friends" thought I was dead. "Approximately, 18 hours. It's 6 am, which means we only have two more days." "We don't have enough time." I feel my heart starting to beat faster and faster. We've lost so much time.

"If we don't have enough time then we just have to spend the rest of the days trying to relax." Landon said, "Are you kidding? How can I relax?!" I say, taking him by the collar.

"Eliza, you need to stop stressing out so badly. You can't always be stressing out over stuff when you don't even have enough fun in your life." He stared at me, "Why, just why?" I let go of him, getting teary eyed. "Don't, Eliza." He shook his head, "why?" I shook my head, looking down at the ground. "This is me and if you can't accept that then we... we can't be together."

I kept shaking my head over and over again. "We weren't ever together," he mumbled, "If we weren't together then what are we? What? Two strangers?" My eyebrows furrowed, "Two strangers? Is that what you think? You think I would kiss a stranger? If you think that then we are strangers. I don't know you, Eliza." He teared up. "I sacrificed so much! I share my darkest secrets with you! And this is what I get in return?" I shout out, "I sacrificed my privacy! My privacy that you stole from me." Landon's eyes turned hostile, cold. Not the warmness I was use to. "It's not my fault. We can't even actually be together anyways, why even try?" I sigh, walking away towards the group. "That's what I get repaid." My eyes narrowed at him, "This is stupid He yelled to me, I just ignored him. I was done, but I wasn't.

I was done with him. My brain is telling me things that I don't mean. I didn't mean anything. I'm just a stupid idiot. "I-I'm....." As I turn around, I saw Landon spit onto the ground. He already disappeared from the scene. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
