Burning Darkness [ Under Heavy Construction]

Chapter 14

I was trapped inside of someone else's body. The darkness started to fill with an egg shell color, there were posters of people I didn't know everywhere. I sat on a red rug with a toy train in my hand.

I turned around and the bed had luggage on it. We are we going?

I got up and walked to the closet, only thing left was hangers. The TV wouldn't turn on.

There was a scream and a loud bang outside of the door. "Stop it!" Stop what? I couldn't move my feet. Don't you dare touch him!"

My child like body didn't react to what was said, but I was scared. Who am I? Who is this boy?

"No!" Seconds later another loud bang. Next thing I knew, a shadowy figure burst through the door. "Come on, we're leaving."

I wanted to run away, but I held my arms open to be picked up. "Who are you?" "Let me go! Put me down!" I shouted, but the boy was quiet as a mouse.

The dream turned black again. "Devin?" Devonte's voice chimed in. "Devin?" Rachel's voice rang in my head.

I tried my best to follow the sound. "Get up bro" said Devonte.
"Devin wake up" said Rachel.

I woke up gasping for air. Rachel patted my back, while I caught my breath. "Mike said we can get anything from the store" Devonte said.

"Then we meet him and his friend outside, they're gonna take us to the CTS."

I rubbed my eyes. "That must've been some dream then." I looked at Rachel and she was smirking. "Yeah well, I don't wanna talk about it."

I threw the blanket off me and walked out of the shack. The sun was beaming, nice and hot.

I yawned and stretched. I pushed the thought of what I dreamt out of my mind.

I looked at my clothes. Ugh, I thought to myself. Devonte said we can get anything from the store.

Mike turned around just in time, to see me walk through the door. "Good you're up, grab anything you like" he said.

Customers were busy shopping as always. I went into the storage for some fresh clothes.

I looked on every isle. Since its so hot, pants and a collar shirt won't do. I stumbled over a orange and black muscle shirt, with a flame design.

I picked up a pair of red cargo shorts and changed as fast as I could. I threw my old clothes in the trash on the way back to the shack.

When I arrived Devonte and Rachel were gone. I must've missed them on the way out.

I picked up an old watch from the bookshelf and sat down, 7am. I put the watch in my pocket, we'll need to know the time wherever we are.

I sat down and the dream snuck into my mind yet again. I put my hands on my face and slumped over in the chair.

Was that....me? I didn't even recognize that voice. Was I suppose to? The boy didn't really look like me.

I leaned back and slammed my hand on the arm of the chair. Is someone trying to show me something? UGH!

My hand caught fire. The more I thought about it, the bigger the flame grew.

I tried clearing my head. I opened my eyes and the flame was turning purple.

I tried putting it out, when I heard an erie and sinister laugh. "Ha ha ha, Deeeeeviiiin....."

I looked around frantically. "Deeeeeviiiin..." "WHAT?!"
I started sweating and my heart was beating out of my chest.

I sat still and waited.... My vision started to blur and the shack shifted into a dark throne room.
