"Shadows"

Chapter 11: Trapped

I knew I shouldn't have gone against the Estragination rules, but I had to get back on track. Shadows revenge.
The more I thought about it, the more fanciful it seemed however what else could it be?
Desperate to fully scrutinize this situation, I struggled to release myself from this pain. I had to control my thoughts, they could see exactly what I was thinking.
I had the creature.

"Anastasia?" Whispered a familiar voice, a low male voice, it couldn't be.

"Matt is that you?" I said.

I heard what sounded like a scoff and then a violent tug at my hair. Then a hand covered my face so that I couldn't see or breathe.
I tried not to scream but I swung my arm around and thumped the person behind me, he felt like Matt.
I knew I shouldn't feel good about punching my friend, but I did.
Why does he want to fight me?
This was definitely Matt, I remembered what he always said to me when I began to lose hope. I could follow his advice now, or I could remember that he was my friend and give up.

Then I felt a large metal thing knock against my leg.
No, I couldn't let me emotions prevail my strength, I kept going. I didn't know what I was doing but I knew I wouldn't stop.
Then the light switched on.

"You're weak," I looked up seeing Alex smirking.

"You're not Matt?"

"Are you stupid? He's dead."

" I must be missing him..."

"So you were the one I've been fighting?"

"You call that fighting? You barely touched me."

"Is that why your limping?" I couldn't resist a smile.
Maybe I was stronger than I thought.

Pain had penetrated me, I was subsisted on nothing. I remembered, the creature that was released into my mind. The creature that was scratching my heart and controlling my emotions when I was fighting. I wasn't in pain because of Alex, I was in pain because of the creature.
I was trapped forever.
