Acta Non Verba I

Dream or Flashback? With a Sorrowful Awakening.

Nothing but darkness could be seen surrounding Thaddeus. Usually darkness would be portrayed as scary and empty.
However, within this darkness, everything felt though as if it wasn't empty, it couldn't. There was no feeling of emptiness and the darkness he felt was calming and relaxing. It felt as if this could be a safe haven for Thaddeus. No more Tyson and his friends. No more cruelty from the world. Just complete darkness and quietness.

Within the twilight a bright white light could be seen emerging from the darkness. The light was beautiful and Thaddeus wasn't scared at all. Was this the way to heaven?? Was this what happened to those who die?? Was Thaddeus dead?? Was he dying?? At that very moment it didn't matter at all.

As it all went well, out of the white light came an image of what seems to be a woman. The image was blurry and it was hard to make out about what was happening. Although the numerous images that he saw of her were bright and happy, seeing her made him feel gloomy. He didn't just feel gloomy seeing her he felt a sense of pain. He felt a sense of heartache that the woman was bearing within her. Her body shivering and feet aching from what felt like the cold. Though as if right now that didn't matter.

Throughout the vivid scenes of her a painful and broken scream could be heard as it went dark. In complete darkness was the sound of a woman crying. As she's crying lights could be seen emerging from the darkness. The lights were a orange and yellow colour with a hint of red. They were flames and in the bright light of the flames you could make out that there were people. The people were roaring outrageously at her whilst throwing her with hard cold objects. Thaddeus witnessed everything through the eyes of the crying woman. The only thing that was visibly clear were two hooded figures standing in the far back of the crowd. They wore black cloaks with their faces hidden with the hoods and within minutes of noticing them they disappeared into the darkness.

Thaddeus could feel the unbearable pain the woman was feeling. The heartbreak and pain was eating her alive as she stood there unable to move. What she felt could not compare to anything that he had ever felt or experienced in his life.

And just like that everything went blank again with the single words "I love you" that was said in a low husky voice that faded away and once more a light emerged from the darkness. Moments later in the silence a gentle whispering voice could be heard calling out to him.

'Thaddeus... Thaddeus'

The voice called out numerous times before a blurry face could be seen before him looking down at him. Fluttering his orange lashes as a bright light shot into his eyes causing pain and discomfort making him groan. The light made it harder for Thaddeus to focus properly. Moments after his eyes had adjusted to the light and he could see clearer he saw that it was his worried mother, Faye Bonnie Ward, looking down at his sleepy and also confused figure. His mother had a worried expression on her face with her eyes looking sad but once Thaddeus had awoken her eyes widened as happiness radiated from her body. Which made it hard for Thaddeus to know whether or not she was sad or happy.

Faye was a short curvy woman with large bright blue eyes and beautiful long red eye lashes. She had a round face with medium length red hair that was braided into a singular braid that barely fell over her shoulder. She wore a v-neck green dress with flowers printed on it and the dress was knee high. She wore her diamond studs and she had natural pink coloured lips.

"Otis he's awake!"

She yelled out to her distressed and worrying husband, Otis Theodore Ward, who stood against Thaddeus's white bedroom door with it's silver doorknob. He then swiftly walked, practically running, to his wife and son.

Otis was an above average height male who was slim athletically built with muscles here and there, with thick caramel brown hair and beautiful emerald green eyes. He was light skinned and had a sharp jawline with thick nicely shaped eyebrows. He had a slightly large nose with strawberry pink lips. The long sleeves of his white button up shirt was rolled up exposing his vintage looking wristwatch and hairy forearms.
