Amnesia

When You're Gone

There I stood, flaming knife to my throat. Fear coursing through every inch of my veins.

They were threatening my life in front of everyone.

I couldn't do anything.

I stood there.

Their arms tight around my neck.

Nothing was the same.

I was too scared to even move because of the fear inside my bones.

I couldn't do anything.

I pleaded for them to leave me alone.

I knew they never would.

I knew they would kill me on sight if they wanted too.

But they wanted my powers.

They got them.

Why they're still here for me is what I'm scared about.

"Let him go, now." Xisuma growled, "He isn't your problem anymore. So leave him alone."

"Oh, but he is. We need his blood. Siphoning his powers isn't enough."

"Why do you need my blood? You can use my power without it."

Silence.

That's when I knew something wasn't right.

Something wasn't normal.

I could hear their thoughts.

I could feel their emotions.

When they went to attack Xisuma, I couldn't stop myself.

"Wait, stop! This world isn't a problem for you. Just let them live and I'll let you do with me as you please in the Watcher Realm."

"You can't save me from myself, Xisuma."
