Oneshot - Veylian - Ghosts

I'm not dead! Yay! Anyhow here's a thing you can read if you want. Fair warning, I wrote this when I was feeling evil sooo.....

Vechs was dreaming, or, rather, he thought that he was dreaming. Turned out to be a nightmare.

It had started pleasant enough; he was standing on the top of a hill, the grass was green, the sun was shining, the world was peaceful. A road wrapped itself tight against the hill right beside a sparkling blue river, and there was sweetness of summer flowers in the air. Birds chirped. But then a cold wind kicked up. It curled around his arms and torso and grew until it howled in his ears. He shivered, but it was not because he was cold, but because he saw a familiar red car appear into view of the road. He shivered because he knew who was in that car. And because he knew exactly what was going to happen.

            He screamed but there was no sound. He tried to run down the hill but he was frozen in place, just a puppet of the terror. It started to rain. Thunderclouds crowded the sky, the world turned dark, the river was black; the grass wilted and died and the smell of flowers, once sweet and innocent, smelled sickly, like a deathbed. A blue truck came into view and was driving the opposite way as the red car.

            He closed his eyes but he could not stop himself from hearing the ear-splitting screech of tires, the quiet splash of a car falling into the river.

            He woke up.

            He was shaking. Sweat dripped down his brow.

            Lights flickered on outside of his bedroom door. The door opened and Aureylian stepped in. She sat down on the bed beside Vechs. Her hair was as red as ever, and there was worry in those bright, green eyes. She smelled of fresh picked flowers.

            “Hey.” said Aureylian

            Vechs couldn’t speak. They sat there, staring at each other for a while.

            “Are you okay?” she asked

            “Y-yeah. Just a nightmare.” Vechs finally managed.

            “What did you see?”

            “Y-you were driving in your car-” Vechs gulped. “-and there was a truck and your car fell in the river and you d-drowned.”

            Aureylian pursed her lips.

            “Well, I'm here now so there’s nothing to worry about. Why don’t I sleep beside you tonight?”

“That would be nice, thank you.”

Aureylian closed the lights and the door and crawled in beside Vechs. Vechs shifted over to give her more room. He lied there, staring at the ceiling.

“Aurey?” He said, barely a whisper.

“Yeah?”

“Don’t ever leave me, okay?”

“You know I would never, get some sleep.”

          “Alright.”

          Tiredness overtook Vechs and he fell asleep.

***

It was morning. The birds chirped happily and the sun silently streamed in from the window. Vechs woke. He rubbed his eyes and reached over to check the time.

The bed beside him was empty. The covers were undisturbed. There was the light touch of flowers in the air. 

It had been three years since the accident and her ghost still remained.

[thezombineer]

What? No....... *runs off*

[drippingneon]

BRING IT... *WRITES UP A ROCKET LAUNCHER*

That would actually be really cool. If you can write objects into existence.... THIS IS MY IDEA IF IT BECOMES A FIC.... NO STEALING

[thezombineer]

It'd be kinda similar to a fic I wrote that was basically all one of the characters complaining at me, followed by me rewriting basically the whole fic :p

[drippingneon]

:P lol

[drippingneon]

Also "all one of the characters" -Shawn 2015

[thezombineer]

Woops. That's what I get for being online at midnight.

*walks in* Ooh, are we chasing people with rocket launchers?

[drippingneon]

[thezombineer]

Call me Zombi. Or Shawn. Shawn is probably better :p

[tanadin]

Definitely doable. :3

Wow. At first, it looked/felt like one of the way-too-short and not all that well done veylain things..... And then the last paragraph happened, and it all made sense.

[drippingneon]

Yah never judge a book by its cover ;D
