The Game of A Life Time

Chapter 18- Exile

"I can see you standing, honey..."

"LEAVE ME ALONE!"

The darkness wraps around me, I scratch at everything in my sights to get out. The blank crisp forever walls don't falter.

I feel the cold winds speed up and I fall. My head hits the hard dark bottom and I feel like I am spinning. Pitch black seeps into my body, I choke on the air that won't come in.

Its arms around my body, I can feel the suffocation begin. It laughs in my face, this isn't funny.

The joke is not funny...

Five minutes go by and I am no closer to getting rid of the darkness. Taking the air and hope with it, I close my eyes in hopes it will let me go.

This is the most normal routine I have been in, in a while. Wake up, the darkness child my bones, it suffocates me, and I pass out. Everryother five minutes.

Stupid fucking game. I don't understand, we did everything it asked of us and more.

When I first went there, I was filled with energy. It seemed positive, but when I tried to move towards it, I couldn't move. I was stuck.

The energy blocked me from moving anywhere, I couldn't talk either. It was unbearable, I had no clue it was a trap. The mixed feelings it gave me before I went into the portal was weird.

I knew it was bad and I shouldn't have, but I felt a pull. I needed to get there- here. There was no point in fighting it, I would be here eventually.

However, while I pass out, I can see and hear things. There isn't much though, only what it allows me to.

The first time, I saw Carter and Belle sitting together in a truck. I had been here for almost an entire week at that point. What were they doing?

Doesn't he want to save me? Find me?

Another psychic comes along, I am out of the picture, and now they are best friends. I have seen this before, it does not end well for anyone.

Then after I saw them, I was pulled back to my reality. Energy swished around me like no tomorrow and I fell to the ground again.

Sometimes when I hear things, it is voices from different people or spirits. I have figured that out well.

Tightness in my chest starts again, "fuck."

My eyes shoot open and I see a white flash. The light warps to a shadow and then flattens out to line in the middle of the darkness. I look to each side and see it continues on forever and ever.
