Mythical

The River

Eric POV:

I forced myself to get dressed and I decided that I needed to go somewhere.

I grabbed the keys to my new car and went outside. Sitting in the driveway was the same exact model of car that I had before. I climbed inside and tried to ignore the trembling in my fingers.

I remember crashing into the tree and being launched through the windshield of my car. I should be dead right now. I shook my head and forced myself to put the car in drive. I pulled out of the driveway and started to drive down the road.

I avoided looking where I crashed and continued waiting for the familiar turn off to appear. I pulled onto the dirt road and I reached my destination. I parked the car off to the side and got out, locking it behind me.

I took a deep breath to steady myself and walked to the willow tree.
Underneath was a headstone.

Here lies Amelia Daniels. Mother, Wife and loving friend to all.

I looked making sure no one was around.
I sat down on the soft grass and started to talk.

"Mom I don't know how much more of this I can take" I choked out. The wind started to lightly blow as if she was trying to soothe me.

"He put me in the shed last night, I've been losing control of my other side." I said.

"Mother, he's been taking full control of me."I told her.

My other side has never acted like this before, even as a child I never had to fight for control. 

"I keep having these really long blackouts and I don't remember anything." I whispered.

After a few moments of silence I decided to leave. I leaned over and plucked a small dandelion from the ground next to her and laid it on her headstone walking away.

I suddenly got a call from an unknown number as I started to pull away.

"Hey Eric" Braden said.

I narrowed my eyes pulling back onto the street, what does he want?

"Eric, don't zone out on me, your little boyfriend is here and he misses you" he said chuckling.

I froze. Is he talking about Trevor?

"What the fuck are you talking about?"I hissed. My body tensed as he casually laughed. I pulled over to the side of the street.

"Braden where the fuck is he?"I snarled gripping my phone in my hand.

I felt his grin as he responded.

"Oh we're just sitting here in the locker room, just hanging out. Why don't you come join us?" He asked.

I pulled back onto the road slamming on the gas.

"I swear Braden if you hurt him I'm gonna-." I threatened but the call dropped.

I threw my phone into the passenger seats and sped to the school. I drove into the parking lot and ran across the football field.

I ran towards the locker room and pushed open the locker room door.

Inside it was pitch black and silent. I took slow steps inside and looked around for Trevor.

"Trevor?" I whispered looking for him.

Suddenly someone took a object slamming it into my knee.

I buckled and fell to the floor as the lights came on. I saw black vans and a silver baseball bat on the floor.
