Be Careful When You Bite Me

I was lying in the same bed I had stayed in the last time I was here. The alarm clock beside me read 2:10 am.

Sleep was completely out of the picture and I wondered if where Damon was right now. Although I was shocked that Asia and Xavier wouldn't help Damon, I could only understand. I couldn't imagine fighting to be with the one that you love and having to fight all over again just as they were finally happy.

Was anybody ever really happy anymore? It's all temporary relief until the next wave of madness comes crashing down.

I shoved my face into the pillow but I didn't cry. I had no more tears in me and I was past wondering why I felt the way I did. It was pointless to try to pretend that I had no feelings for Damon. It was just clear as day that I was utterly and hopelessly in love with him as it was that he was going to die.

I heard the doorknob to my room turn and the door was slightly opened to reveal a small amount of light from the living-room. I could make out the tiny figure that was Asia.

"Holly, are you awake?" She whispered. I sat up and replied," what's going on?

"Get up," she said," we're going to go find Damon."

The nights' cold winds whipped past me, tossing my hair around and sending shivers down my skin. I looked around, trying to catch sight of Asia but she was nowhere to be found. I watched the large clock above the church strike three am. It was too dark to see anything, and I didn't know anything expect the fact that Asia said the Council has only one prison in New York and this was it.

It didn't look like a prison, it was merely a church, that looked like most, with a nice yard and a wooden cross that hung up at the top of the building. I waited at the steps and wondered if Asia was going to come back. I breathed in and out and watched as the smoke from the cold disappeared. I looked back up and around. The church was in the middle of nowhere, we had driven through miles of trees before finally parking the car and walking around ten minutes on foot.

I was growing more anxious as more time went by. I would have imagined that if this were the prison, it would have at least a couple of guards or maybe even a fence.

I heard the slight sound of footsteps and watched in anticipation as Asia turned the corner.

"Did you find it?" I whispered.

She shook her head," no, I can't find it."

"How could they have a church with no entrance?" I followed her this time, doing another walk around the building.

"When you don't want anyone to go inside," Asia replied.

We circled the stone building in hopes of finding a door or a window or any way that could lead us to the inside but it was as if there was no way to enter.
