I was walking down the empty snow-ridden road. The chill night had fallen around me and I was the only person out on the darkened streets at this hour. I was walking sullenly, my head down and eyes to the ground. I had no where to go, no place waiting for me, no reason to rush. I sigh. What was even worse was the ideas in my ever-waking mind had grown silent, retreating into themselves, and locking me out. My stories and writing had dried up, adding to my misery.


I waited for you, today
But you didn't show
No no no…
I needed you, today
So where did you go?
You told me to call
Said You'd be there
And though I haven't seen you
Are you still there?



The voice was singing in my mind. It was my voice, laiden with sadness. Whenever the idea stream in my mind ran dry, I would sink in mood and attitude. It felt like someone was stealing my words, and blocking my friends from me. I rolled my eyes at the irony of it, and kept walking. They're not still there. I answered myself bitterly.


I cried out with no reply
And I can't feel You by my side
So I'll hold tight to what I know
You're here and I"m never alone



I paused blinking as warmth suddenly enveloped me. I felt the barrier between me and them dissolve away and they flared forwards, filling my mind once more, taking their places in my imagination.


And though I cannot see You
And I can't explain why
Such a deep, deep reassurance
You've placed in my life




I jumped as a light flared out beside me. I turned my head, my mood still heavy and looked down as Seth held his hand out to me. I looked at him, and felt him slip his warm fingers into mine. I could feel it, in the cold night, and I looked into his glittering black eyes and smiled.

We cannot separate
'Cause You're part of me
And though You're invisible
I'll trust the unseen.



I felt my mood lifting as Seth walked beside me, leaving no tracks in the fresh snow, his leather coat billowing as he moved. He looked past me at something unseen and I turned my head. Faolan looked back. The lycan was almost invisible in the dark night atmosphere, but his emerald eyes met my grey and he grinned wolfishly, his twin swords glinting in the street lamp light. My mood lifted further.


I cried out with no reply
And I can't feel You by my side
So I'll hold tight to what I know
You're here and I"m never alone.



I felt more warmth fill me as another of my characters, my friends, appeared. Keltoi's luminous green eyes lit up some of the path ahead of me and I looked up at him, smiling gently at the demon. Seth squeezed my hand.


We cannot separate
'Cause You're part of me
And though You're invisible
I'll trust the unseen.



I looked round at them all as I walked up my drive, and they looked at me. I smiled, glad to have them back, and feeling the others in my mind, filling me wth their thoughts and comforts. All their gaze reads read as We're sorry and I forgive them. My eyes are bright but as my hand touches the door handle, they vanish from beside me. And yet,


They are still there. I know…



Cos I'm never alone
This is ACTUALLY true. It happened to me not long ago and I thought, what the hell, I should get this down. Oh and by saying it ACTUALLY happened, the characters DID appear to me...but in my head... :D

I mean c'mon. If I could summon Seth to the real world just like that, do you seriously think I would be talking to you lot?

Seth: Help?

:evillaugh: Song is (c) to Barlow Girl. Never Alone

Enjoy

P.S Writer's block SUCKS!
