Wicked Souls

I told the voices to just shut up, but in response, they started whispering even louder. The voices seemed to be speaking all at once, whispering about different things, it was getting to a point which was too frustrating for my liking now.

I started to slowly step back, I was trying to hold a grudge against Dr Harrow however I wanted and needed his help. I walked to his office again and walked inside "The voices are getting louder, they won't stop,".

Dr Harrow looked up at me, he hadn't been expecting me to return to his office this soon after I had left it, but he had been glad to see that I had actually done so. He stood up from where he was sitting at his desk.

"They're getting more prominent and louder?" He asked softly, this was quite concerning. The voices may very well have been getting to a point where they were becoming unbearable for me to handle...

I nodded constantly.

"Alright, it seems that... this is probably getting a bit out of control for you..." He spoke softly as he walked closer to me. "And I believe I might have an idea of what might help..."

"Now..." He began to speak again as he started to walk me over to the sofa, he sat me down on it, taking a seat beside me. "Is it alright if I start trying something? To see if I can help get rid of these voices...?"

I nodded.

"Alright..." He then proceeded to lean in towards me as he gently placed his hands on either side of my head, he seemed to be trying something as he placed his hands there...

I closed my eyes tightly as I took slow breaths.

He could see that I was now starting to focus on my breath as he kept holding his hands there and continued to do so.

"Slow and deep breaths... keep focusing... you can do this..." He spoke very softly as he kept holding my head, trying to guide me through this...

I started to take deep breaths and then exhaled.

I was focusing on my breathing, keeping it slow and controlled, which was exactly what he had asked me to do beforehand...

"Good... keep going..." He continued to speak while I was focusing on taking deep breaths. This was a way to try and relax, and it seemed to be working...

He had kept his hands on my head, he was still slowly guiding and helping me at the moment. It was clear that I was relaxing now, the voices had gotten a bit quieter now...

I leaned against his body as I felt the reassurance and his help ease the stress.

He felt me lean against him slightly as he had kept his hands on my head, I was now starting to lean against him for comfort and reassurance, he didn't mind this as I was just letting myself relax. As I leaned against him, the voices had gotten a little quiet, the stress was starting to ease up a lot more now...

And this was the exact response that he had hoped for as I was relaxing more here while leaning against him. This meant that I was not under as much stress and the voices were only getting quieter and quieter. I hadn't noticed it yet, but he was slowly relieving me of the stress that the voices were causing me...

The voices were getting quieter and quieter as I was just relaxing. All that worry and stress that I had just a few seconds ago was slowly disappearing, slowly leaving my mind. All that remained was just pure, blissful happiness and calmness. It was the perfect effect...

I was feeling some strange emotions due to this moment, I never felt it before and I couldn't exactly understand what the feeling was however it felt nice.

I was feeling the effect of his calming and relaxing touch, he was slowly taking all of the stress of the voices and worries away, I was feeling a lot of things right now, I even felt a strange and new but amazing sensation here, it felted nice to feel... maybe this was what happiness felt like...?

As I felt these strange but good emotions, I felt even better as I remained against him, leaning on his body just being relaxed and enjoying this feeling. The voices kept on getting quieter and quieter too, they were barely even a mumble anymore as I continued to focus on my breathing.

Harrow finally stopped, I looked up at him then I didn't know why I did it but I kissed him gently before pulling away, and my eyes widened from my actions "I'm sorry,".

"It's..." Dr Harrow's eyes widened as he felt me suddenly kiss him all of a sudden... this was very unexpected... he wasn't expecting this at all... he was stunned, but he slowly gathered himself once more. "It's all right..." He finally responded softly, he was a bit shocked by what I had just done, but he also wasn't too mad about it either.

A sudden thought came to him, that kiss could just be a result of some of those strange emotions I was feeling due to that moment. I was leaning against him and I probably felt very comforted and relaxed right now. So it was no wonder why I had decided to do something like that and kiss him... he wasn't mad about it either, but he still felt like he should talk about it.

"So... about that... " He started as he thought of the kiss I had just given him, but he wanted to discuss it with me more, as he wasn't exactly sure if I had done this because I felt attracted to him, or if it was just an emotional response to how I was feeling at the moment. So, he decided to ask about it as soon as possible.
