The Forgotten

Chapter 4

'Where? Where am I?' I looked around at the black box. There was another guy in here but he didn't seem to notice me. I looked down at my arms, under my sweatshirt and jeans, everything was covered with bandages. I felt around my throat, more bandages, these ones were wrapped so tightly tho. I tried to speak but nothing came out. I went over to the person and tried to shake him awake, he didn't respond so I left him. His body looked pretty beat up and he had some bandages but they were all dark. I saw a wall of weird flowing stuff, it was orange, and yellow. I placed my hand on the wall and it fell right through, I pulled it back out and saw there was no damage done. I inhaled deeply and swam through the orange and yellow stuff. I saw this smooth black rock and phased through. I fell.

I hit the ground but didn't feel anything. I stood up and looked down, I was floating over the ground slightly. I looked around me. It was green, there were these weird colorful things sprouting out of the ground. I picked a few, the red ones were the prettiest. This place seemed familiar...I had a sudden feeling and I moved away from the town, walking into the opposite direction. My feet guided me more than my head. I felt a sense of deja-vu, the path seemed to be familiar. I walked slowly, taking in my surroundings. Green trees began to merge with white snow, until there was only snow everywhere and no more green...I looked around amazed. The cold didn't bother me, I felt at peace in the winter woodland. I heard a gasp come from in front of me and I snapped my head towards the sound seeing a man who had a yellow sweater and beanie.

I felt a dizzy spell wash over me. "D-Dream?! You're a ghost!" He said surprised, I looked at him in confusion 'does he know me? Do I know him?' He approached me, I didn't feel scared, I felt like we were familiar once but I couldn't tell. "Do you not remember? Well I'm Ghostbur! This is Friend we were finding some blue! Would you like some, it helps with sadness!" Ghostbur said cheerfully. Slowly he extended his hand to show some blue gunk.

I grabbed it, I felt like some weight was taken off my shoulders, the bandages felt looser. I was watching it turn black before slowly turning to ash. I looked fearfully at where the gunk had once been and then up at Ghostbur. "It doesn't usually do that...have some more!" He passed me more blue, this time it turned a dark blue. "See!" I nodded and squished the blue in my hands watching it amazed. The bandages felt more comfortable.

My hair kept falling in front of my face annoying me but I kept trying to put it behind my ear only for it to fall again. "Can I help?" The cheerful ghost asked, I looked at him wearily but nodded, he grabbed my hair and tied it behind my head. "Perfect! Would you like to meet some friends of mine?" I felt fear coming back at the sound of friends but I also didn't want to stray off from Ghostbur. I slowly backed away, looking around with nervous gestures. "I will be there and I promise they won't hurt you!" Ghostbur extended his hand and looked at me hopeful. I slowly grabbed his hand, he shivered against my touch but didn't let go "Let's go!" I started to walk with Ghostbur and Friend deeper into the woods.
