My dreams were filled of pictures of Dylan and that man. Slowly the pictures faded away and I was in a dark tunnel with a small glint of light, I moved towards it. My legs fought me and every step was agony, I pushed further down the tunnel. My dress dragged behind and I could feel a stiff, gluey substance that pulled me back, making it harder to move. My legs hurt and so did my arms, every step was like stepping on glass. The substance got deeper and harder to move through.
I heard a voice from somewhere and I stopped listening, the voice was familiar but I couldn't make out what he or she was saying. What were they saying? Maybe they were talking to me or maybe it's the death gods planning on where to put me. No! Don't think about it push on! I felt my body shake and the light seemed to be fading, a burst of energy forced me to move quicker. The glue reached my chest pulling my dress up to my hips. I didn't care I was trying to get out of this dark place.
My breathing picked up and sweat dripped down my face, I felt like resting but I can't, I have to get back to him, to Dylan. Muffled voices echoed down the tunnel.
"I'm here!" I yelled my voice sounding ruff and choked. "I'm here! Anyone! Can you hear me? Please!' I screamed tears falling down my cheek, why was I so messed up they couldn't hear me. I shook my head clearing the thoughts of me being dead and pushed on through the pain and through the glue.
My mouth was dry and the light was getting closer, I had walked for hours with the glue growing impossibly thicker. The tunnel started to grow lighter as I got closer to what I thought was death. No corners, no turns, nothing but one single pipe with nothing connecting to it. I stopped looking at the light and giving myself a break, pulling myself to the side I rested against it. My breathing heaved, my throat dry and I coughed trying to get more air into my lungs. It felt as if someone had squeezed my lungs so no air could reach me.
"Emery!" a voice called through my daze I hardly heard it but instantly I listened for more.
"Don't give up!" I felt hope, this voice must have been the same one as before because I could pick the similarities between them. I pushed myself up off the wall and continued to struggle through the glue.
Don't lose hope, I can do this. I kept saying to myself hoping I would get to the light as it started to fade. Legs burning, arms aching, back felt like it was about to break but I can't give up. I pulled myself to a stop hearing something behind me, what was it. I turned squinting my eyes scanning the darkness for the cause of the noise, nothing. I kept walking pushing the grey glue aside, the noise became louder sounding a lot like water. I spun around and looked back down the hole, a white foamy substance swashed around the hole, I panicked. Swinging my arms wildly and forcing my legs through the glue I ran towards the light fearing the water coming behind me. I heard the waves felt the breeze and forced myself to run towards the light, pain shot through my body try to make me stop. I leapt and jumped through the glue seeing the light fading. I glanced over my shoulder, the worst idea ever, a huge wave rolled through the tunnel leaving no air apart from I front of me. I yelped and struggled through the glue I was so close to the fading light, it looked 100 meters at least. The water came dangerously close and I could feel the splashes on the back of my back, the hole with the light began to shrink and I forced myself impossibly faster. No, this can't be the end I have to get back, I need to get home. The hole disappeared under the glue as I reached it, looking behind me the wave looked dangerous and dark. I sucked in a breath and forced myself under the glue and pulled myself through the hole, I was almost through then something stopped me. I looked back and my dress was caught. I yanked and pulled trying to get free and to reach the surface. I pulled with everything I had feeling my body wanting to breath, I felt my body take a breath of the grey suffocating glue just as I yanked my dress out. My vision clouded and darkness over took what I could see, it was over I had failed. Everything I had worked for is gone, my wolf, my status, my strength, my life gone in a single breath. I felt my body relax and plunge into cold, dark, pain.
