Beyond the Last Star

Chapter 8- Barg

My body is... FLOATING?? Wait what's going on?! I look around, seeing nothing but inky blackness. No light, yet I can see my figure perfectly fine, floating around in the empty space. Suddenly there's a light. Please come here!  Whatever or whoever you are, please come over to me! Seeing the figure turn around it's my girlfriend Em but she's not herself. She has tears in her eyes and rolling down her red cheeks. Looking terrified, the sight melts my heart. I try and run over to her but I'm suddenly bound. I can't move or speak. I'm silently screaming to her. Every attempt to get to her bounds me tighter. I have to get to her... I can't let this happen.. I... I can't...

I sit up abruptly, feeling sick and dizzy. I realize I was just screaming, the nightmare leaving me terrified. In a cold sweat, I immediately run to the bathroom, getting sick before slumping against the wall, letting the impending tears run down my cheeks. The taste of bile in my mouth and the chill of salty tears on my face, I try and calm myself. Shaking and crying, I stand up slowly and look in the mirror. Gosh I look awful... I wash my face and go back to my room where I see that I still don't have any messages from Emarke. This is strange. I have messages from Jordan... I open my phone, gaping at the messages. Hearing of a flood in her region, seeing that Jordan is worried about Emarke. Oh... great... I've left her alone for some time... And she's not okay... I sit down on my bed trying to stop shaking as I realize my cold sweat has turned to exertion of heat. Why is it so hot in here?  My mind is racing as confusion takes over my mind. It's never hot here. What in the world is happening? 

As I stand up and race down the stairs, the temperature rises and I feel the heat emanating from the front door. My head spins and I become dizzy. My vision blurs and I hear my glasses hit the floor. Completely unable to see I walk away from the door, grabbing a glass of water before sitting in the kitchen. My head aches and I can't think straight. Without any more thought I run back up the stairs and message Ria. 

Ria, we need to talk. It's important.

Hey, this is Tyler (your lovely author.) I have started writing again but the chapters won't be as long. They'll be shorter and rarer due to some things causing my writing to slow down. I hope you all (anyone who really reads this stuff) are enjoying the story. The next chapter will be text messages between Barg and Ria discussing ***************** (I can't reveal all my suprises.)

Thanks for reading ^^
