The trick.

I take yet another step back, Eyes glued on her. Hayden. Is she really dead? I still can't help my shaky hands. I try to wring them out, shaking away the needles and bees in them, but it doesn't work.

I perk up as I hear a police siren in the background as I did this. I still feel the darkness in me, but It feels like I'm shutting it out. I hear a voice in the background, but the lyrics are screaming at me in my head. I start to mumble,

" I'm bigger than my...body....I'm colder than...this h-home....I'm m-m-meaner than my....demons...I'm stronger than t-these...b-bones..." I chatter and shudder until my heart feels frozen.

I start to scream something, but just as I open my mouth, I feel five sharp stings in the back of my neck. I gasp for air, my head lifting to the black sky.

My stomach turns and my throat burns. My eyes become dry even in the rain, and I feel a sting in my limbs and my body goes numb. I feel awful, though, I feel....clean. I feel...different. I can't interpret my thoughts except for one thought from someone.
I love you back.

I then hear screaming. Scott. What is he doing?

My legs give out. My core feels sore. My throat is burning like hell. My eyes are now watering, sudden change from dryness. Right before I hit the ground, I hear him say,

"Who tricked the fox now?" They tricked me!

They tricked the trickster. Am I the trickster? Am I still the trickster? Every breath I take, it feels less and less dense, no, dark. It looks as if whenever I exhale, black, horrific smoke releases from my lungs and out into the air. I take one last dark breath and the world started to spin. I finally give up, tumbling to the cold, wet, gritty cement.

My hand hit the ground after the rest of my body. It bounced off the ground and Liam's thought still roamed my mind. He was still thinking it.

My head is throbbing and I feel like I'm in another panic attack. Everything is spinning and twitching, like it's in a warping, super speed effect. Blurs slowly leave objects as they move. I became light headed. My eyes drooped and the last thing I saw was five sets of feet in front of me.

And I was out.



I love you back.
