Illusion // Jelix

Part Three

Seàn was asleep in his bed.

It's morning.

I looked around his room just to check things out.

The painting he had up.

They were certainly interesting.

Green.

Dark green.

Black.

I've never seen a pattern like this before.

I looked over at Seàn who was no longer sleeping peacefully.

He rustled and grunted.

A nightmare.

I sat down beside him and stroked his hair.

He began to calm down.

My ears began to ring loudly.

I shook my head and ignored it.

My hand drifted away from Seàn's head when I noticed a book on the counter.

Curiosity drew me to it.

I picked it up, and then realized it was Seàn's drawing book.

The one he uses to represent him and... Anti.

Go on, take a peek. He won't mind.

I heard a voice say to me.

Looking around the room, there was no other person but Seàn.

I shrugged my shoulders.

I opened the book to the first page.

There I see Seàn lay on the floor, and be kicked in the stomach by Anti.

The next page.
Anti had cut Seàn's throat.

Third page.
Anti was beating Seàn again, he was on the floor bleeding.

Seàn was causing self harm.

Seàn was being harassed by Anti.

Seàn was being beaten by Anti.

Seàn was crumbling.

My heart stopped. My breathing slowed down.

All these drawings. He drew these to show what he has done to him.

I turned to the next page.

Fearful of what I was to see next.

I saw Seàn on the bed.

A drawing of what seemed to look like me, was there too.

And Anti.

Anti was yelling and screaming at Seàn.

But around Seàn and I was a bubble, as I rubbed his back.

Anti was blocked out.

I gulped and shut the book.

My heart beat slowly.

I cannot comprehend with all of these mixed emotions.
