43 - Poor Decision

"By Overthinking we often Create Problems that aren't even there"

Screaming. Explosions. Panic.

Sprinting, I was sprinting through the woods. Why? Fear overwhelmed me. It was like the trees were towering over me. It felt like they were slowly closing in on me. It felt as if their goal was to block my path or worse, like they were going to crush me. Sprinting. Fast.

Suddenly I was out. Out of the dark shrinking woods. On a dirt path. It was dark out. The stars and moon were nowhere in sight, it was just... dark. So dark. Ahead of me I could make out a familiar shape. Walking ahead, my old place slowly came to view.

Home? But why? Why the panic? It felt like I was straining my eyes as I focused on my place. Like I wasn't supposed to be there. Something felt terribly wrong. I walked towards the house, hoping to stop stressing out my eyes. But it felt like I wasn't actually moving. Was I walking in place?

Ticking caught my ear, before I could react I was suddenly blinded by a bright light quickly followed by a loud Boom. The house illuminated as it blew up. My ears rang from the deafening sound. Horror washed over me as I watched pieces of the house fly, the building almost collapsed in on itself. Smoke and ash overtook my senses as I started coughing. Shit.

Then suddenly there it was. That god awful scream. Eris' loud, terrified scream caught my ear. There were figures in the smoke. A little girl flailing in someone's arms.

I tried to scream for her, but nothing came out.

I woke in a coughing fit. It felt like smoke was still in my lungs as I sat up. Desperately I clawed at my throat trying to get rid of the feeling. Panic. Panic. My nose was stuffed up, it felt like I couldn't breathe.

Panic. Panic. Glancing around all I could see was darkness. Standing up I made my way to the bathroom door, or at least where I remembered it was. Setting my hand on the wall I followed it until I was met with a door. Entering the bathroom I threw on the lights. Without a thought I turned the sink on and splashed myself with cold water desperately trying to snap myself out of this fit. There wasn't any smoke in the house. I was choking on nothing.

Sliding down to the floor I focused on my breathing. The light was blinding but it showed proof that there was no smoke. No, smoke. No smoke.

-

Sleep didn't come to me the rest of the night. Everytime I closed my eyes all I could hear was Eris screaming. It got so bad that at one point I found myself glancing in her room to check on her.

I watched as sunlight crept through the hallway. I felt so drained. My head ached, I felt sick to my stomach. Nonetheless I pushed it off as being tired and anxious for what was planned today.

A door creaked open. Soot ran up to my feet meowing at me. I was sitting on the carpeted floor in the hallway, simply just staring at the ground. Meowing, Soot shoved his face into mine, trying to get my attention.

"Jinx?" Amoras voice caused my head to snap up. "What are you doing out here on the floor?"

Sighing I set my head onto the wall behind me. Eris bedroom door was to my right. I stared up at the ceiling not having an answer for my sister. I wanted to keep Eri safe. In case someone tried to take her again. Yeah... that's why I was sitting here.

"Jinx." Amora said, her voice was calm. Slowly I made eye contact with her as she kneeled to the ground in front of me, "How much sleep did you get?"

"An amount." I mumbled.

She glanced me over. Her eyes landed on the jacket I was wearing. Dabis jacket. I don't know when I put it on. I know I took it off before falling asleep... whenever that was. Why was I wearing it again? I couldn't recall.
