Stay With Me

Chapter 2: Insanity

“Zander… It’s getting worse.” I cry into his shoulder. “Shh….” He says soothingly. “I almost…” “Don’t say a word.” He demands. It only makes me cry harder. He strokes my hair, in attempt to calm me down… But instead I flinch and walk away from him. “Luna!” He calls after me. But I don’t stop. I keep running towards the dark tree. That’s my target. I reach it and hug it for support…. Because I can’t tell myself to stop. I have no control over myself. I am damaged beyond repair.

I remember my father telling me that if he died, I would need to get Emily to safety. He told me that I live in a broken world, and If I let it get to me, I would become broken too. Zander would try and try to make me smile, But its impossible now. After what the witch of the city said to me. “Luna, you keep walking. You never stop to fight or talk.. You keep going. Say an elephant was in front of you, you would become ten times the size of it, squish it, and then keep going, Nightlock you're a hated person, someone should have killed you by now.” the thought shakes me.. and then I hear a scream. A high pitch scream, pleading for help.

i turn around, but I see nothing there. “Hello? Where are you?” I call out to the distressed person. “Help….me….please!” They plead. “Where are you?!” I call out. “HELP!” The person screeches. I run around all over the place when I realise I have become lost… lost in depths of my dark, cruel mind. I crouch down to escape the cries because I know there is nothing that I can do to help them. That’s when i join in the chorus of screams that twirl around in my head. They are all calling out to me, asking for my assistance. But then again, I am weak and helpless. Unable to help myself, nevermind the people calling out to me in my head.

I closed my eyes, my brain aching. “Zander” I mumble. and then I hear him “LUNA!” I look up at him to see his face, and my only thought was man is he beautiful! I wanted to get up and hug him, apologise for my anger and outbursts. But I felt paralyzed. Lost in space, “Zan--” I tried to say. But the words stopped coming. I’m dead aren't I? I felt blood on my chest, right near my heart and I managed to lift my head. “Luna, you’re alive….” he whispered. “How..? There is a dagger right through your heart..” and my eyes closed. I was lost in space for what felt like forever.

He offers his hand and I reach out to take it, but I hesitate. What if he was the one who stabbed me? It couldn’t have possibly been myself… right? After a moment, I reach out my hand and place it on top of his, but it falls down to my lap. I can feel my eyes almost pop out of their sockets in surprise. “You...You… You Lied to me.” I stammer. He smiles at me. But it’s not a friendly smile or even a reassuring smile, it’s a sad smile. The type of smile that breaks your heart into a million pieces within an instant. “You Lied to me.” I repeat. “Luna… I’m sorry… i really am-” he tries to cushion the blow. But nothing, can keep me calm in this event. I stand up and realize I was leaning up that dark tree the whole time, but the whole forest is covered in a dense fog. No one in sight, a halcyon type of environment. That’s when I do something I hadn’t expected myself doing in a million years. I take a step towards Zander and kiss his cheek before whispering in his ear, “Stay with me.”

I opened my eyes while sweat ran down my neck. I was in my bed, still covered in mud. Zander and Emily sat next to me, trying to stay comfortable on the stone floor. “You're awake.” Zander whispered. “Yeah” I responded carefully. He then bent down and kissed my forehead, and I relaxed. “Why..?” I mumbled. “Zander found you passed out in the woods, and I knew you were exhausted.” Emily said flatly. “I carried you back so no bears got you.” Zander added on. There were no stab wounds on my chest, my head wasn't Throbbing any more. Space was gone. I was alive. And okay, but broken. Un-fixable.. Forever lost in my mind.
