Behind Amber Eyes

Harley

Harley lie sprawled on the floor, drained from all energy. That was the most painful sex she had with Korse so far. He really didn’t see the mercy in her eyes, and he didn’t care about all the blood that came out. He had cut her this time, all over her wrists and face, marking her as his. She could barely move, her muscles were so sore. She just wanted to get out of this hell.

She tried sitting up. With all of her efforts, she finally moved her body into an upright position. She let out a gasp when she rested her hand on the ground. There was a very deep gash, about half an inch, through her hand. She didn’t remember Korse giving her that. She usually remembered everything so vividly, but she must’ve forgotten this one.

Harley then felt the urge to cry. She let salty tears slip down her face. She would do anything to escape her prison.

The room suddenly filled with a familiar voice.

“Ghoul?” She asked, barely getting the name out.

“Yeah, it’s me,” he said. She was warmed by his presence, and she let his smooth words comfort her. “I’m going to let you down now,”

“No!” Harley yelled. She couldn’t be let down. Korse would just use her body to kill everyone

“Why not?’ He asked.

“She can’t see you.” Party

“She’s blind?” Harley could hear the shock in Ghoul’s voice.

“No,” whimpered Harley.

“She’s stuck inside of her own mind,” said Party.

Harley winced at the hatred in his voice. It was almost like he didn’t believe her.

“If you let me down,” she cried, “Korse will kill you all.” Tears fell down her face at an unreasonable pace.

“Aww, don’t cry,” comforted Ghoul. She could almost fell him there, wrapping his arms around her.

“Sha has every reason to cry,” spat Party. Was he mad at her? She had no idea what was going on.

“What do you mean-“ Someone tapped Harley on the shoulder. She whipped her head around to see who it was. Korse

“HE’S BACK!” She screeched, trying to escape his death grasp.

“Why are you so afraid, Ellie,” he said, spit flying from his mouth.

“Leave me alone,” she whimpered, trying to kick him off of her.

“I heard you talking to someone,” he said, pinning her down, “who was it?”

“No one,” she spat, wriggling under Korse’s frail body. He seemed weaker than before. His skin was paler and his eyes were more bloodshot.

“Tell me,” he said, grasping her neck. Harley could tell something was wrong. He wasn’t as strong as before. He was dying fro spending too much time in her head and not enough time in the real world. Even with her wounds, she would easily be able to take him down.

"You're dying," she said, spitting in his eye. In that split second, she flung herself upwards and rolled over so she was on top of him.

"Very goo, Ellie," he said with a smirk, "but I'm in control of you now."

Harley's body was flung off of Korse's in a heartbeat and against the wall. He stomped over to her and slammed his fist into her face. Blood poured from her nose.

"SHOCK!" She heard Party cry.

"I'm not afraid, Party," she said with a grin. "It's all in my head."

"That's my girl," said Korse, punching her again, all around her body. Harley let out a laugh.

"Punch me all you want, It's just in my head."

"How about now," said Korse with a sneer.

The space around her changed, and she saw something else. There they were, cowering across from her: Party, Ghoul, and Luke.

"I can see," she whispered, "I CAN FUCKING SEE YOU GUYS!" She was ecstatic. There were her friends, alive and well.

"Shock!" Yelled Ghoul, running and giving her a hug. She winced at the pain in her ribs. Surely the physical strain in her mind hadn't carried over to her actual body.

"Ghoul, let go of her!" Yelled Luke. Ghoul let go and stood back.

"What did he do to you?" Asked Party in disbelief. Harley was confused. Why weren't they happy to see her. Harley looked down at herself. All of the cuts and punches that Korse gave her were transferring to her body. Blood slowly seeped from her wounds. She felt the blows hit her in real life.

Harley started laughing, hysterically. The was laughing as her ribs started to break. Blood flowed into her eyes as she smiled in content. She didn't care about the pain, she was back to normal.

"You call this normal?" It was Korse again, only she couldn't see him.

"Where are you?" She asked, her voice brimming with fear.

"I'm still here," he cooed, "I will always be here."

"What are you talking about. I'm alive, I'm not scared anymore."

"The transformation is complete," he said, "I am a part of you now, Ellie. Forever."

Notes

Hey!

Sorry for the long wait. I just started school and I got new meds that make me really tired and drowsy so I hadn't had the time to update. I do think that the updates will be irregular since I'm going on a dumb school trip next week (bleh) and then I'm going to Riot Fest to see Frankie in concert (I'm so excited!).

Enough of my blabbering. Comment/rate/subscribe and I will see you next time.
