“My name is Cole” “And long story short the Vampire “Dylan” our leader had a daughter but this was in the war with bats and birds so he sent you away to be in the human land.”

“Oh and Dylan is not one of those ugly vampires.” “He has blonde soft hair and blue eyes in day and red in night and is very muscular.” The tiny bat says.

“Okay first off I do not need that much of a description for Dylan.” “Second off I’m a vampire princess!?” I shout.

“Yes…I’m bringing you back to field of bones palace.” The bat speaks before a couple and grey things with eye as hard as steel and has rows of pointy teeth along with muscular arms marches out of the bushes and each grab onto me and start to walk.

I thrash and scream but the things just gripped harder onto me. “What are they.” I ask the tiny bat.

“Felons.” “They are our most trusted gaurds and protectors.” The bat explains after seeing my confused expression.

“Violet I’m sorry but we’re now going through the grave passage we’re only bats and Felons can go through.”

“So since your not a bat…..yet I’ll need to knock you unconscious.” “So….bye!” The bat says not giving me a chance to reply before a Felon plunges a syringe into me neck and everything fades to black.

This is going to be on Violet’s POV and when the parentheses [example (Hi)]are happening that means Violet is saying something. ——————————————— I frantically ran through the wood trying to run from a huge bat. (Long story short) I could feel it nicking me at my legs.

But then of course being me I tripped on a root and fell on my but. The bats surrounded my and I shielded my face but there were to many.

They tore my skin and I screamed in agony. But in a second the bats flew away except for one little one who was writing on the grassy ground.

“Please…help me.” A tiny voice chirped. “Who are you?” I shout. “Down here…master wants you destroyed..your..the princess.” The tiny bat rasps.

I decided that this one was trustworthy and I picked it up and started to tend the wound on its wing thanks to my mother for training me in nursing.

Once I was done I made the bat try out its new wing and it worked perfectly. “Now..what do you mean I’m a princess and what’s your name?”

Let the wind take me, Scatter me across the earth, And fragment my mind.

Wind is power borne from nothingness From the rush of the world so eager to fill a void The abhorrent void I open my empty heart to the wind And it fills me

At the end of a long work day I relax on the sofa

Basking in the artificial glow Of my luminous TV set

I feel myself drifting off And the radiant light Becomes an ever fainter blur

The words fade into background noise Unintelligible

The room fades and all the action now Radiates from my own body

I am peering inside, as dreams approach My breathing becoming predictable, Stable and relaxed

My breath is like the wind Blowing steadily through a tropical cave Warm and breezy.

Suddenly I see a dandelion seed Float onto the warm breeze Speeding through the cavern

Whooooosh! Up and out into the rainforest

The little seed turns into a feather And is carried higher

Through trees teeming with life Swept up above them to the forest canopy

I see the feather, I am the feather Floating on the breeze

I am the breeze Blowing through the cave And up to the roof of the forest

I am also the cave, the forest and trees I am the feather that floats on the breeze

Floating above the ground, I don’t feel a thing. I am weightless. The world around me is calm and quiet, the sky is greeting and becoming dark. Just staying where I am, I know that I’ll be alright.

She felt like this quite often. Being lifted to the heavens in a controlled and calm shaft of warm air. She didn’t know how, and didn’t know where she would end up, but she did know that it felt good . All her cares and fears were lifted, and her mind was free to wander in any direction it chose. It happened very time she was able to let her mind wander freely, aimlessly and without shackles. It felt like she drifted into another realm, another world perhaps. She may even have drifted into another part of her own mind. One free of the daily life struggles that everyone has. The place that most people would want to escape to, to shut out the drama of living, and the annoyance of the human race. The world had become a rat race, an unpleasant piece of earth, on which we had no escape , unless you died. And even then there was the uncertainty of where you would end up. Heaven? Hell? Where was that even? Was it a figment of our imaginations, dreamt up by our religious fathers, and taken on by our minds in order to better deal with death as the end of our existence? Either way, this was an escape, a necessary part of her being, it allowed her to deal with life on earth everyday, as she worked her way through uncertainty along with the billions of co conspirators she called the human race. She noticed that she never seemed to reach another realm, whether in her mind or in another world. She felt that she undertook the journey, but never reached her destination. Perhaps her mind had not fashioned a destination that she could be comfortable with, or perhaps there wasn’t a world worthy of travelling to. In a sense she felt buoyed by the notion that the journey might have been her growth, her way of building a pathway to greater understanding and a greater sense of happiness. What was it they said about it not being the reaching of the destination, but the significance of the journey...! Sometimes our minds are not yet ready or mature enough for the arrival, but they can be satisfied for the time being with the passage of time, in a new and unknown direction. Whatever it was, it was different, and enough to soothe the strain of living in an evermore uncertain world. She had reached into her own consciousness and fashioned a journey which would be a solo undertaking designed to withstand the years of constant bombardment on earth, and open her mind to a different world, one where she controlled time and feeling, relationships and love. The shaft of warm air was slowing, she felt gravity returning to her relaxed body. Her mind was becoming aware again of its earthly surroundings. The light was fading and she felt herself gently become aware of the sounds of her own world again. She was back, until the next time.
