The Dead - Chapter 4

Dax comes back with the food and water. I tried to get a glimpse of the outside world. But the portal closes as quick as it opened. Dax pulls out a light from his hoodie.

"oh I didn't realize but you look..."

"Dead? That's because I am." He stares for a while. Geez I knew I looked terrible but I didn't think it was that bad.

POV: Dax
Their hair is all matted and tangled. Their eyes are a milky white. You can barely see their irises. Their skin is pale and appears sickly. They look like they have been crying for years. There is blood coming out their mouth. Their clothes is all torned up. Their is roots and plants around their legs and arms. Buttercup flowers growing around them. I reach out and touch their hand. They feel as cold as ice.

"What are you doing?" They pull their hand away.

"sorry. I just wanted to feel your temperature."

"What's wrong with my temperature?"

"nothing. I was just curious."

"Hmm. How curious you are?" They use their determination to become a human. A living human. Their hair looks soft and fluffy. Their eyes look bright red. Full of life. Their skin fills with color and there are no signs of plant life growing.

"Much better don't you agree?" They sounded older as a human.

"your voice.. you don't sound like a child."

"Well. I guess since I died as a child, my voice sounds like one as a ghost."

"Being a ghost for so long made me wonder. Am I consider a monster? There are ghost monsters are there not? But then again I am human. But not a living one. Are you considered dead? You are a skeleton after all."

"huh. well I guess I never thought about it like that. you're strange Chara."

"You know... sometimes I wish I was dead. Like actually dead. The afterlife seems more peaceful then the life I have lived. But I assume that is not how this works. Atleast not for me."

"why do you want to be dead? you have a second chance at life again. isn't that what everyone wants?"

"I have a second chance but there has already been too much damage. Besides I don't want to be stuck here for eternity, or however long. You are the only person that has ever came here. I guess it wouldn't be bad talking to you."

"aww so you like me?"

"What! It's not like that. I need someone to talk to. Being alone for years takes a toll on a person's mentality. I want to go outside. I want to talk to people. I want a some what normal life. I never graduated high school. I never had a job. I never had pets. I want to experience all of that."

"don't worry Chara. we will figure something out."
