Beyond the Last Star

Chapter 11(Part 2)- Kati

My vision blurs and I drop Andi into the crib. My arm hurts so bad... What's wron- Oh my god... Oh ouch oh oh oh no. I grab my arm as I see a blue tint, almost that of a bruise, coloring my forearm. It starts to turn purple as I see Ria run into the room. I can't take it anymore and my eyes begin to sear. I feel tears run down my cheeks though I can't see. My body feels like it's being ripped apart. My arm feels hot and cold at the same time and my chest begins to feel heavy. My stomach clenches and I feel like I'm drowning as I vomit all over myself.

My vision clears, or so I think, as I can once again see Ria. A smile appears on my lips though I didn't form it. I can hear my heartbeat in my ears and I know something is wrong. This is my Ria. Why do I feel so much hate? Why can't I love him? What- No. He's evil. He only kills.

A vision clouds my eyes. I see someone standing in front of me asking for me to follow them. I resist and pull away, suddenly out of breath though I feel better than I did moments before.

I stand up and whisper to him, "I love you Ria"

He shudders when I get so close but stands still as I walk into the hall. I enter the bathroom and stare at myself in the mirror. My clothes are a mess and I can't tell who I am. I wash the blood and vomit from my face and run my hands through my hair. I take my shirt off and change into one of Ria's trying to look decent. My arm's hue receding back to normal. I collapse onto the bathroom floor from exhaustion as I smile, thinking of how I have a wonderful boyfriend there for me.
