Memories

The beginning of the nightmare

I opened my eyes

It was a wall of blurry red that I was facing, a red that turned gradually into white. Where am I?

My vision was painted with drops of blood, blood?

I removed my head from the "floor" if it was one... And took a look at my lifeless looking body, I was in a strange situation. A pitch black outfit was stuck on my skin, it didn't feel like clothes at all, I got up to figure out what was going on when it striked me... I know this place, I've been here before I'm sure of it, but... Where is this?

I did a quick turn around to see myself confront a white ball, no.. A crystal ball. Why was a  crystal ball here? It was levitating off what seemed to be a strange energy pole.  And then images, pictures started flying in the ball, pictures of... Me? I took a step closer to see more of those pictures. Memories, my memories. Me growing up, playing, walking, breathing, laughing, killing... Killing? I saw myself in the crystal with an long white dress covered in crimson blood, my older sister is behind me, knees to the ground crying out with pain and rage... Did I do this? No... It's impossible. Those aren't my memories! At the bottom of my white now almost red gown I saw Aïden, my sisters boyfriend... Dead. A devilish smile appeared on my lips as I turned around to see my sisters reaction. No, this can't be happening. I didn't do that!

I started hitting the crystal ball with my bare hands, fist clenched. My hope we're starting to loose as my energy followed it's lead, I screamed and cried and gived all my strength into a last push who unbalanced the ball out off his... Energy pole? It fell in slow motion and when it hit the ground, a high pitch glass wrecking sound was heard. Some weird smoke came of it, becoming black as it loosened into the air.

In a moment a was submerged by this black smoke who was chasing me with hunger, I ran as fast as I could to escape this nightmare but after few seconds it was grabbing my leg forcing me to come to his source. Eventually I tripped and was being dragged on the ground. In less then a flash I was being pushed inside of the wrecked ball, I tried to resit but then surprisingly the black smoke had more strength left than I had... Even if was smoke. I felt myself getting compressed on my laps, I was now inside the broken ball. The smoke started to get all the glass pieces on the floor to go put them in the right order like a time lapse. It was trying to trap me into the ball!

I tried to stop the movement of the pieces trying to trap me but it was no use, my hands were covered in bloody glass pieces that were shredding my skin apart. As all the pieces kept getting into place, my breath became heavy by the second, this was it. I felt tired, I'm falling, I think I will lose consciousness, I closed my eyes and then....
