Knee deep, at this point.

A mistake

"...each of eight fingers gripping what he wrote, clung on tightly... like parenthesis..."

this was a bad idea. i should have never come here.

the place was loaded with demons. hundereds.

me and kass could onky fight them off for so long, before i accidently slammed my head into a window and shattered the glass. the demon tackled me into the broken shards of it outside.

it hurt like hell. ive never felt so much pain in my life.

and then i woke up. the pain was still there, but it was like nothing happened again.

kassie immidiately looked at me, a look in her eyes told me she knew what happened.

she was there, wasnt she?

school was long and grueling. i asked all of my teachers if i could go to the office for pain killers, but none of them believed it was as bad as it was. i felt awful. i was in so much pain. i didnt know why.

i didnt have cello practice today, luckily. my aunt didnt make me dinner, which was fine. i was in too much pain to eat. i scrolled through my phone, feeding a stream of pointless brainrot into my head.

it was so tiring. i was so tired. i didnt sleep at all after my nightmare...

and i would fall asleep, in pain on my bed.

it was dark and comforting, being asleep, that is. my pain was still there, but it was so muffled by my sleeping i didnt even notice it.

until i did.

i took a deep gasp of pain. i was back. the demon was on top of me, and i was laying in broken glass again.

*all over again.*

kassie heard my screams of pain, and rushed to help. she took the demon by the throat, while i had the energy to get up and finish it off with the hammer i had.

we ran for the van. we should have never come here. i threw myself into the drivers seat, digging the glass deeper into my skin.

so much fucking pain spread like viruses across my body.

i drove, kassie in the back. i noticed how the demons melted in the headlights.

and i drove further, until i couldnt drive anymore.

i stopped in the middle of a highway. i left the engine on.

i forced myself out of the van, and with the last of my strength, crawled in front of the vehicle.

if i was in the headlights, i couldnt be hurt be the demons, right? i prayed so.

kassie. oh poor kassie.

she saw me. bleeding out there.

it happened so fast, too fast for either of us. now i had scars all over my body, leaking blood.

i was sorry. i was sorry i couldnt stay longer.

she looked at me. kassiopia, oh kassie. that guilty stare she always had.

"im sorry kass. its not your fault."

black dots appeared all over my vision, taking over.

and kass walked away. i started feeling cold.

it was dark.

i couldnt see kassie.

and it hurt.

and i was getting colder.

and it hurt so much.

and i was alone.

i was dead.
