Freed

Edan

Chapter 17

Edan

I'm pretty sure no one wants to be here. It's a violation of our privacy. That's like putting a camera in your room and watching you change. Wait, they've already done that.

"Ok who will go first." Says the small woman with a brown haired bun. "I guess I will" Blaze says sitting on the chair. I roll my eyes and walk out the door.

I'm still mad at her. I sit on the chair in front of the screen and wait. The screen flashes to life and I see Blaze in a boat with fog around it. She is in the ocean.

I hear my own voice cry for help as I'm drowning. She looks at me and thinks about saving me but before she jumps in. Chrys calls for help as he is drowning.

She freaks out. Then Jade and Wendell appear on the other sides of the boat. She surrounded by cries of help.

She clearly is afraid of water she looks like she doesn't want to save any of us. She faces me as I begin to sink. She stands on the boat. The boat capsizes.

She plunges in the water and all of us disappear. The screen shuts off. I'm shocked.

Out of all of us she picked me. She comes out the door and stares at me. She is crying. I walk over and give her a hug. "I'm sorry Blaze." I say in her hair. She doesn't say a word.

"It's your turn." "Ok" I say quietly letting go. I walk in the door. I sit and she asks "What's your biggest fear or fears." "I'm claustrophobic." "Ok." She punches in buttons and gives me a red liquid. "Drink." I drink it and I feel suddenly drowsy.

I'm in a white room. It's really bright. "What's your name." I turn and see a very professional black person with blonde hair and a pan suit.

"Edan." I say. "That's a lovely name." "Thank you. Who are you?" "That is not important Edan" She walks away with her hells clopping behind her.

Suddenly I feel a buzz under my feet. I can feel the room getting smaller.

I start to run the way the woman went but I run head first into a wall. I fall on my butt and crawl to a corner.

The room is now five by five feet. I stick my arms out trying to stop it. But nothing happens. It gets smaller and smaller until I can feel the box around me.

Then I suffocate. And wake up. "Good job Edan. Who was that woman?" "I don't know." I say feeling tired. "Well you have to know her she came from your subconscious." "I honestly don't know her." She shrugs and gestures toward the door.

I walk out the door and see blaze sitting there with a blank face. "Who was she?" she asks not looking at me. "I don't know."

"Let's get out of here." "Good idea." We walk out the door and head to lunch. None of us seem very hungry. We just sit there staring at the table.

"So how were your trips to hell and back?" Wendell asks. "Awful" I answer feeling really tired. "Jade what was your test about." Wendell asks. "Eh. I said my fear was myself and when I was asleep I found a pond, a clear blue pond. It was foggy. I walked towards the pond and saw my reflection starring back. It wasn't my reflection though. It wasn't doing the same facial expression it was like doing an evil smile. I dip my hands in the cold water and my bone were the only things showing. I took them out and they were flesh. That's when I woke up."

Everyone shivers. "What about you Wendell. What was your test?" I ask. Chrys smiles and laughs. "This should be good." Wendell's eyes widen and he says. "Well...It's not always about me so um let's let Chrys go." "No man you heard the lady." Wendell gets up and walks away.

I want to follow him but I don't think that's a good idea.
