Where am I? Mama! Papa! Auntie!
I screamed out into the darkness, utterly surrounded by the dark.
Mama! Papa!
I aimlessly ran forward. The sharp inhale and exhale of a girl in distress echoed in my ears with my heartbeat.
Auntie!
I cried out.
Somebody, anybody!
I was afraid and wanted dearly to see any familiar face I could call out to in this sudden darkness.
Mama- ah?
I stumbled as I attempted to stop, my chest still heaving in a panic. What stopped me was a sudden face coming from the dark.
Papa!
He stood in front of me, looking away as I slowly approached now.
Papa?
My little girl, won't you join us?
?
I was confused as he remained unmoving. I continued walking to his side and then to his front only to be tossed to the ground in fear.
Won't you join us?
His voice took a guttural tone now, wet and gurgling.
That's not-
The man that slowly knelt towards me wasn't Papa, but a beast that looked as if it morphed from him. A monstrosity of flesh and blood. Its head looked like that of the monster Papa and Sarah fought before.
Join us Ki-ki.
Another voice spoke out as a hand grabbed my shoulder from behind.
Sis?
Another.
Join us.
Auntie Sarah?!
Each figure slowly emerged from the darkness as if it were a strange black fluid whilst a strange sharp scent filled the air.
Join us. Join us. Join us. Are you not alone? Alone. Alone. Us- Join us- Join us-
My family members, the retainers of the family, the guards. A hoard of ghoulish clones of all who'd died engulfed me.
No! Nooo! Mama! Papa! Sis! Goro!-
My screams pierced out into the air, echoing off of the inky borders of reality. They were bloodcurdling screams no child should ever have to emit, the same I heard that night. And right now, in fear, in the face of what I thought was a horrifying death as hand after hand dragged me under the inky black floor of this dream.
Aunty- Bjorn- anybody!
GASP
I quickly sat up, the height of the tree roots around me just short enough to see over.
Ha- ha-
I gulped.
ha
I was panting heavily, my spine tingling and my heart racing from the nightmare I had just escaped.
"Where- How did I- ah."
It took a moment for the sound of flowing air and birds to remind me what exactly I was doing until late in the night.
