On stage, preforming once again, this time it was 'Do You Like That?' So I don't have to play much, I sang more in this song then I played guitar

As I was gliding my fingers across the fret board, I looked up at the crowd, and my eyes widened

All their faces were gone, nothing but a smudge of their skin tone, no features. Just, a plain head

I looked everywhere, but when turning my head back to the centre of the crowd a dark Figure was right in front of me

The dark cloak With the hood covering their face, and an extreme amount of shadow below it confirmed to me that it was Sleep

I let out a breath that I didn't realise I was holding and his head tilted

"Your not well, darling" he said in his sickening dark mocking voice then vanished

The crowd was back to normal, their faces returned, and Sleep was gone. Thought I felt a throbbing in my head and my stomachs felt like it was twisted in knots

I took a breath and started we had two more songs, then I could go

We got through the songs - barley - and once off stage, I went straight to the bathroom. I locked myself in a stall and I felt the burning acid come up my throat and I spat out the liquid into the toilet bowl

When I looked down, It was a dark red that almost looked black. 'Blood? What the fuck?'

I lazed over the toilet for about 10 minutes, I let it all o it before cleaning myself up

¸„.-•~¹°"ˆ˜¨˜ˆ"°¹~•-.„¸

I lazed on the couch, a bucket planted beside me and my arm dangling off the side of the couch

"Love, you alright?" Of course it was Vessel, and I smiled fakely to him and he grasped my hand in his as he kneeled down, looking into my eyes with empathy

" this is Sleeps doing, you know? I saw him on stage moments before this happened" I explained, he took a deep breath, then stood up

"I- I love you Jade... and I'm sorry, but I have to do this... otherwise- otherwise you, die" he got up off his feet, tears obviously welling in his eyes and my face turned to confusion

He stood about 3 feet away from me, his arm outstretched and his head down, then he started to chant

A tongue that I had never head before, but his hand twisted violently, his other by his side seemed to be drawing sigils and I felt a great weighing upon me

I slumped my whole body down on the couch and I felt like a pressure was weighing me down

My eyes became heavy and eventually shut, as everything became a blur and a ringing overcame my ears, and the sounds of Vessel was drowned out as the irritating sound became louder, and louder

Then it abruptly stopped. The weight felt to be lighted and I felt like I was floating

There was no sound, no feeling no everything

When I opened my eyes, it was nothing but black, though I could feel my body moving freely

"I will accept your wish to enter, if you accept the promise of Calcutta." A godlike voice sounded, it came from everywhere, in front of me, behind me, below me, above me, inside me. It was the space and time around me

"What promise? Where am i? What's happening?" I could feel no sense of Panic or fear, just curiosity and confusing that filled my mind and soul

"Do you, or do you not accept the promise of Calcutta? Devine one, If you accept you may enter Eden, if not I will have no choice but to send you back to the place where you reside " this voice was not man nor women, not child nor adult, but I mixture of life, it's distorted and unrecognisable way of talking made me slightly shiver

In a wave of confusion I opened my mouth, I didn't think before I spoke, but the words came gushing out faster then I could think "I accept the promise of Calcutta, I wish to enter Eden" I looked around and waited impatiently, I felt the tension greaten and the voice started again

"Very well, welcome, to Eden" their last words rang in my ear, then the darkness started to fade and I felt my body suddenly become burdened with weight and I felt the endless peril of falling with my sudden rush of panic tangle endlessly

Then I felt a firm feeling of ground beneath me, I saw a bright surrounding around me and the noises of calming nature made my worry fade into nothing

The sweet smell of the forest, paired with the echoing sounds coming from the Beauty from the lively trees, tall, bright grass, and lush colourful flowers and bushes that surrounding me providing me with a sense of peace

I look at my body, making sure I was really here, I noticed that I wasn't in my normal cloths, but a white, flowing light dress that would almost be a night gown.

I started to walk, unsure if where I was or how I got here. After while of walking and thinking, I decided that this must be Eden, as the mysterious voice has told me, and that must have been the gateway to get here.

Was that what Ty was doing? Was his chanting and Sigil drawing all to bring me to this place? But why? What did this have to offer?

After a while, I saw smoke pile through the top of the canopy and hoped filled my stomachs, edging my legs to carry me ever so faster to reach the place.

I came up a small hill and looked down on a clearing. There were a couple cabins, and a fire in the middle, I saw a couple figures that seemed they must be human and I headed slowly and carefully down the slope and into the camp

I walked in, passing by a couple people that were carrying things, or just walking. There wasn't much talking to one and other, and it was pretty quiet in the camp.

No one really seemed to notice me, or if they did they didn't pay attention to my appearance

I explored the camp further, until a girl bumped into me. I turned around and helped her up, she seemed in a hurry as she stood up and picked up the sack she held in her hands

"Oh im so sorry I shouldn't been watching where I was-" she started to apologise, then once she made contact her eyes widened, her face became like that of a ghost and I froze for a second

"It's- it's The girl! She had arrived!" She shouted out and a crowd started to form around us

I looked around as everyone stared at me and confusion flooded me even more

"Quickly, find one of the Vessels" one for them said and another ran off

"What going on? Where am I? What is this place?" I had so many questions and was overwhelmed by the sudden interest in me

Then the crowd start to part and a farmiliar face came out

I opened my mouth to speak? But he raised his hand to silence me " call me II here" his voice overtaking my racing thoughts

"Come with me" it came through my mine again, he didn't actually speak but I could hear his voice. He motioned me to follow and lead the way, I took after him with everyone's eyes burning as i Left the crowd

We went into one of the cabins, and he followed behind me as I stepped in

It was a cozy looking place, a fireplace, desk, lounge, table and chairs, it was nice

II pointed for me to sit one the Couch I followed his instructions then He disappeared behind a door, appearing again but another followed him out.

The two came and sat on chairs in front of me, I wanted to speak but I had no voice to portray from my mouth, I felt like my vocal chords had been silenced

There sat Vessel and II, the two most important people to me in my life, they were in their cloaks and masks, but neither of them spoke. They kept their heads down and I let my mind race with thought, beckoning any voices they may speak in my mind to come forth.
