The One You're Holding

" Why didn't you tell me?!"

I was having such a peaceful dream feeling like I was on clouds as my body swayed back and forth. The air was creasing through my hair and yet I didn't feel cold. I was bounced up ever so slightly and then bounced down. I felt myself come to a halt and followed by my body jolted up. I Then felt a slight touch on my back side.

I am not so sure if I am suppose to be feeling such details in a dream. Was I dead? Did we all die from being stuck in the river for too long? Was I being guided to heaven or hell? Probably Hell since I caused their death, but it was an accident! God can't be that ruthless can he? Well, besides from having a major part in their death I did sin a couple of times...damn I should have paused my Netflix series and prayed for my forgiveness..

Feeling Myself fall from the ground harshly I knew by then I was in hell. Oh god, I didn't tell my parents bye or that I didn't take the food out to thaw.

" Shit! Sorry Novy, I didn't mean to drop you like that, I tripped "

.Wait am I dead?

" Novy?...Ah you are still sleep, well come on Bobby a few more steps and you can relax"

Wait ? Is that Bobby? So he died to , eh?...wait did he just called me FAT !?

" Who are you calling fat, BOBBY!?"

I guess my thoughts couldn't stay thoughts and I had spoken out loud towards Bobby. My eyes where open and I saw  that we where in the dark, near the fucking river again. At this point I don't know what's better the River or my false alarm of me being dead.

" Sorry Nov but you gain like 30 pounds when you sleep" Bobby said stretching his back and rubbing his stomach in pain. He looked tired from the journey he had while carrying me. I looked back to see how far we were and was shock to see that he didn't even journey that far. This kid needs milk, seriously his bones are to weak... but I suppose carrying an extra person can wear you down.

" Watch yourself. Say that to any other girl and you would have been rocking a hand print"

I said to Bobby, looking at him with a playful rage. Bobby helps me up from the ground and I gained my balance. Thanking Bobby for his help I looked ahead to see a small fire in between our little camp area.

" I am pretty sure Toby and Savia started the fire for the fish and left it on for us and them." Bobby said looking straight ahead towards the fire. I was about to ask about the fish and if it was eatable, but a strange waddling appeared near the side of the river. I and Bobby looked at each other, curious what the sound was, we stayed quiet. I turned near the river and saw a small figure.

" Bobby n-not trying to alert anything bu-but is that a ghost!?" I whispered to Bobby, quite loudly seeing how I was scared. Bobby looked at me and then towards the ghost. His eyes showed fear but his body refused to express it. Bobby's head snapped near the wall were Toby and Savia were sleeping. The figures where black and pretty tall, they where also getting to close to Savia and Toby; which alarmed I and Bobby.

" what the hell? Am I seeing things or is there not Two tall black figures standing near Tob and Sav?....please say No" Bobby said, slowly but staidly walking near the figures. A loud crash was heard followed by a scream. Suddenly I spotted Toby jumping up and pushing both the figures to I and Savia's little house, they fell into the house causing it to dent in but not breaking. ( good job Savia you did an awesome job building that house) Toby then ran and stopped in his tracks looking back at Savia. He went back and shook Savia, I assume she didn't respond so Toby literally dragged her by her feet bumping into us.

" HOLY FUCK !" Toby said, nearly jumping out of his skin and holding his chest, letting go of Savia. The scene happened so quickly I nor Bobby had any time to react.
