The sound of dripping water echoed off the walls as her quick footsteps splashed into the damp stone floor beneath her feet. It was after her again, the dark monster. The one that looked like shadows. This time however she ran into a dead end as she was met with a wall touching her shaking hands. A horrifying chill ran up her spine as Sky turned around and looked at the creature. Red eyes pierced into her soul. The brave hearted ginger was locked dead where she stood as she watched the creature raise its clawed hand. Sky swallowed hard, [color=7bcdc8]"I don't want to die."[/color] She whispered before the clawed hand came down and she readied herself for death. The next moment she was staring up at Joanne sweat making her clammy. "Sky what the hell is going on? I come home and find you screaming in your sleep. You look like you've just seen a ghost." Sky didn't know what to tell her roommate, how could she tell her that a dream has been haunting her, and driving her slightly insane? That just made absolutely no sense and she didn't want to worry her. [color=7bcdc8]"I'm fine, just an awful dream."[/color] She stated and then noticed the clock. [color=7bcdc8]"Fuck! I'm late for work!"[/color] The ginger sprinted up form the couch towards her bedroom and proceeded to get dressed in the button down top and tight fitting black jeans that she wore for her uniform. Running into the bathroom she fixed her hair and did her make up quickly before running out the door, only pausing to put on her shoes. Since the bar was within walking distance for the apartment she started to run as fast as possible without pulling something. Sky got to the bar in a few minutes and opened the door quickly putting her stuff under the bar before clocking in. With that she went to her station and relieved the person there before turning to Ilia. [color=7bcdc8]"I overslept,"[/color] She stated simply. [color=7bcdc8]"Stupid nightmares,"[/color] She mumbled under her breath as she started to arrange the glasses and supplies the way she wanted them to be laid out. There was a certain efficiency to her madness and she needed it to be that way. [i]Like the lament of a siren's longing, a ghostly echo seeped softly into the room through the band's speakers. The bar's lights dimmed and piano keys occasionally danced inbetween the notes. The tune made one feel lonely beyond all measure. It made the world feel inconsequential before it plunged one into a feeling of lingering desperation, of loss and scarring heartbreak from times past. The melody continued for a minute, driving home the point of a muted world. Of grey and black. Where footsteps were not even heard. Of a world where our tragedies are nothing but radio static to a divine ear. This is the reality we live in.[/i] [i]But suddenly, out of nowhere, the slow racing of drums began, bringing a [b]spark of hope[/b] ...and a voice. [/i] [color=0072bc]Is our secret safe tonight?[/color] [i]*takes a deep breath*[/i] [color=0072bc]And are we out of sight~[/color] [color=0054a6]Will our world come crashing dowwwnnnn?! [/color] ------------------------------------ [color=0072bc]Will they find our hiding place?[/color] [color=0072bc]Is this our last embrace~[/color] [i]*cries out*[/i] [color=0072bc]Will the world start caving iiiiinnnn~~~[/color] ------------------------------------- [i][color=808080]ItcouldbewrongCouldbewrong[/color][/i] - [color=0072bc][u][b]But it should have been right!![/b][/u]~[/color] [i][color=808080]ItcouldbewrongCouldbewrong[/color][/i] - [color=0072bc][u][b]Let our hearts ignite.[/b][/u]~[/color] Skylar could feel a pair of eyes watching her. [b][color=0054a6][color=0054a6]This is our Resistance~~~ [/color][/color][/b] [b][color=0072bc]They'll keep us apart and THEY WON'T STOP breaking us dowwwnnnn~~~[/color][/b] It was at this time that she looked up at the stage only to lock eyes with the singer. He was staring at her in almost shocked confusion it seemed, but he`d never met her before. [i]Did her make up smear on the way here?[/i] She`d done stupider things in the past. There was something about his eyes though, it felt strange, like she knew him even though she knew she didn`t. There were certain people that you kind of clicked with like that for some reason. Whatever the case was she noticed how his singing was getting softer and softer and she smirked in amusement before mouthing, [color=7bcdc8]'forgotten how to [b]sing[/b] pretty boy?'.[/color] Amusement lit up her face making her grey eyes almost seem like roughly polished stone.
