Infernal Escaped Prisoner
Bzzzz. Bzzzz. BZzzz. BZZ- I slammed my hand down on that INFERNAL clock. Rolling over, I contemplated the essential question: to get up or not to get up. Hunger warred with sleepiness, but eventually hunger won out. Not a shock. Shock? Shocking.... hair?
OH ZEUS. IT WAS THE DAY.
A groan escaped my throat. Sitting up abruptly, promptly my body tumbled onto the ground, entangled in sheets and all. Well damn. What a great start to such a wonderful morning. I stumbled blearily to my bedroom door. As it hissed open, an all too familiar grin stepped out. I really hated morning people. Wait.. Was that...?
"WHAT THE HELL?!?"
"Nice to see you too, sis." She said ruefully. "You should be in JAIL!" I screeched! Athena rubbed her ears and sighed. Really, what else did she expect? Being within a 100 yard radius of me in the morning is not to be advised. After what happened last time someone pulled that stunt, I thought people would have enough common sense to stay away. Honestly. I'm not going into it now, but I can say that it involved superglue, dirty socks, and one very hairy skunk. Does she have no sense of self preservation?
"Well, you've still got the lungs of the family.... And one very loud voice to go with it." "Hey!" I
protested. "And to answer your question," She continued, "I broke out." "WHAT! YOUR GODDAMN TRIAL IS TODAY!"
"Yeah," Athena ran a hand through her shock of blue hair. "It was actually really easy. All I had to do was fight the dozen or so guards leading me to the courtroom, find the control room, hack into the mainframe, disable the alarms, deactivate my body cuff, scan my body for a tracker, break said tracker, equip myself from their weapon room, erase myself from the video feeds, bust down the triple enforced doors, and loose a few hundred police. Like I said, easy." She shrugged.
"ATHENA SCARLET MYRRDIN LE FAY!" I thundered. "YOU. DID. WHAT."
"Broke out from prison." The pile of soon-to-be snail snot shrugged, tugging on her earring. "No big deal."
"No. Big. Deal? DO YOU WANT ME TO BE CHARGED WITH HARBORING AN ESCAPED..." I struggled for the right word. "CONVICT?"
"Ah ah ah." She interrupted, holding up one hand. "I have to stop you there. I was never tried." Grinning, she continued. "Never tried equals never convicted. I am therefore not a convict. Smuggler? Yes. Thief? Yes. "Pickpocket? Yes. Assassin? Yes. Queen? Most certainly. But convict? No way in Hades." That weasel concluded, ticking off the descriptions on her fingers.
I ground my teeth. "You. Infernal. Escaped. Prisoner."
"That's me." She agreed. "Wanna go to the park?"
"GGAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"
"Is that a yes then?"
I started to bang my head against the table, not wanting to see that infuriating smirk again. If I did, I'm afraid that I would be the one shipped off to prison. Namely for murder.
I started to hear ringing. Was my head really that sensitive? I concentrated on the ringing sound, and not the voice of the imbecile babbling on next to me. Honestly, you would think she didn't have to breathe. The ringing grew louder and louder, loud enough to overpower the incessant chattering of my older sister. Until I realized she had stopped her pointless jargon, and obviously heard it too.
"Well." Athena smirked. "I fear, dear sister, that our time together has come to an end."
Giving a mocking bow, she continued.
"So, with that in mind, I bid you adieu!" as she said this, my nincompoop of a sibling jumped out the window while I stood there, stunned.
In my shock, I rolled my eyes, grinning as I did so. "That fael always did have a flair for the dramatics."
Before I was body-tackled and shoved to the floor, of course.

Life
Staring, staring with no expression in my eyes everything's a bore, a blur.
The dark purple sky with a tint of blue fades into a light blue,
into a yellow that mixes a shade of green where they touch,
then a fading red that seems like orange.
I hope it can last for long.
but it's fading.
Away.
Under the sky there's bare trees with leaves trying to hang on.
Their turning brown.
But soon they'll be back for springs about to come.
Street light guide your way.
My stomach, hungry, growling.
"A monster."
My eyes are sore from being open all day.
I want to rest them for a second.
My hands are sore from writing a few too much.
My body wants to rest.
Can you wait a while for me?
My ears hear clam and pleasant music.
Flutes.
Blinking I try not to erase,
but there's just way too much mistakes.
My mind is blank,
I don't know what I should write.
I hesitate.
I hold on tight.
I let go.
I'm free.
Now I'm trapped in a cage.
Alone.
