Cordell's POV
I wake up to a jabbing feeling in my neck, screaming. I wake up in my bed.
Was it all just a nightmare?
It had to be.
Why did he— she? They? It do that?
I see my brother.
"Goawayyoucantseemelikethisnobodycan..." I start and just mumble to myself that everything was okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It okay.
It's okay.
?
It has to be true.
I lay on my back in my bed, staring at the ceiling. Why is my body in so much pain? It was just a dream.
So why does it still hurt?
My brain replays it.
"Shut up!" An average sized black figure yelled, their voice sounding weirdly angelic.
"Why should I?" This figure was a bit taller, and white, yet its voice was kind of just an echo.
The next thing I know, I'm in place of the white figure. I have no body, I can't control what it's saying or doing.
The black figure smiles and opens its eyes, and they're flashing a bunch of colors. I tried covering my eyes, but it wouldn't work.
I stared at them for two years.
Next thing I know, the white figure was in front of me, with a knife.
"Why are you doing this? I thought we were friends." I ask it.
"Friends? That sounds familiar."
I stare at it in confusion while it repeats the word "friend." Eventually, it just turns back to me and stabs itself, with human blood splattering onto me.
But why did I also feel it's pain?
"EDWINA BIT ME IN THE NECK" I think I scream out loud. I apparently just mumble it while my brother is here. I'm under the sheets.
He rips off the sheets, and I just now realize I'm covered in blood.
Stop it! Please!
