Silver Lining: The Haunted

Ch.11-Reversing The Past

~???~

I saw the light before. Darkness had returned. I think I'm going insane or just having a very bizarre dream or hallucination. Everything was still numb. I thought I was alone but I can feel a presence somewhere but I can't find it. Last time I came close to encountering it until I was brought into the light and saw buildings around me and I think people until I was forcibly shoved back into darkness. I'm not sure how much time I had spent fighting this other thing. Something didn't feel right. I guess what you could call conciseness kept coming and going.

~???~#2

Weak. Stupid. Human. I don't temper much about how I got into this darkness. But their is another presence here and I want out. No matter how much I growl or try to claw my way out I can't escape. Where ever I am is growing weaker. I can feel it. I've managed to find the light maybe once or twice. But it doesn't last long. Last time the other human spirit got the light and I fought him for it. He doesn't realize what's going on either. Neither do I. I want out. I want control... I'm going to have to fight for it. The fight Starts now! Stupid human.

~Armen~

What's going on?! One minute he's fine the next he's freaking out and in pain. His hands were up to his head covering his ears like he was trying to block sound out. We are close to the house. It's not far up the trail. Maybe we could make it? Please don't start panicking now I need to stay calm for Drake.

"Drake hand on! It's gonna be ok!" I bent down next to him. He was shaking and felt hot.

"Mia Grayson!!" I shored up ahead hoping they heard me.

"A-Armen it's hurts!" Drake looked up at me. I could see the pain in his eyes.

"Hold on!"

~Mia~

"Mia Grayson!" My ears twitched and my head poked up. Grayson had come back home five minutes ago and I swear I just heard Armens voice. "Mia! Please! Grayson!"

Armen!? I ran to the front door to already see Grayson doing the same.

"What's going on?"

"I'm not sure they are on the trail."

We sprinted to the source of his voice. A scream rang out and made us only run faster.

"Armen what's going on!"

"It's Drake I don't know what happens. He collapsed onto his knees. He's in pain!" Armens voice was frantic as I could see him pulling on drakes arm trying to get him to stand.

"He's not-" his words were cut off when Drake screamed louder before a purple aura surrounded him and a blast of air pushed all of us backwards and off our feet.

The aura around him started to glow brighter before a really bright light appeared and created an explosion sending dirt and dust into the air making it hard to see anything. The light had started to fade and the visibility of the area lowered.

"What the hack was that?"

"I'm not sure. Is everyone ok?" I asked as io t to my feet. The dust cloud irritated my eyes, making them water.

"Drake!?" Amend voice sounded close to me. "What ever that was it came from him! Where is he?"

"Armen? Stay where you are. That felt like some sort of energy blast. Does anyone know what happened?" Grayson stated, coughing after.

"No. Armen is that you?" I saw someone in front of me. I got slower and it was Armen. He was dozen in place and had a confused or shocked look.

"Armen?"

"Look." He painted in front of him. There was a person on the ground. I recognized the blue shirt and jeans. It was the shirt Drake had on earlier today. "Drake? Oh god is he ok?"

I was about to go to his side until Armen hand grabbed my wrist.

"Don't...something doesn't feel right. Is it just me or does he look different?"

His back was to us. There are usually pitch black patches of skin on his neck, back, arms, legs, torso and the side of his face. But the back of his neck was tan and the part of his arm visible was too.

"Guys?" Grayson had come up to us. I looked at him and he gave us both questioning glances.

"Come on." Armen slowly walked over to him with the me and Grayson behind him. I walked around him do I could see his face. His breathing sounded somewhat normal, kinda on the fast side.

"What the hell..."
