Mine

23 - Poisened

John's menacing smile merged from the trees. He had an evil masochistic look in his dark eyes. Dark circles shaded under his pupils with bags signalling no sleep. I don't know why I can't move. I feel caged on the ground, like tight ropes were coiled around my body, pinning me in place. Hitching my breath as the forest began to grow dull around me. Like it was slowly decaying, dying away in John's presence. But I knew it wasn't John that was controlling it.

My throat felt tight and closed. I struggled to breathe as John crept closer. Choking violently, I tried to speak but no words departed my mouth. I couldn't feel my body as it fell to the ground. I'm positive that if I could feel, I'd be in intense pain as there were rocks beneath me. Sharp rocks. I looked into the sky. My visions blurred as I began to hallucinate. I saw Jake and my dad in wolf form.

I then saw my pack in the sky. It looked like a big live tv screen but what scared me was the extremely high definition in the flashing images. I wanted to scream when I saw my pack being tortured mentally, their ear piercing scream rang though the forest and bounced off the trees. My body began to jolt and shake and I could feel something. Not anything good, someone was defeating my natural elements with ice. Draining my body of all the warmth it has.

Shaking, I let the ice consume me and swallow me whole. I tried to blaze my flames to keep me warm but my powers were useless against this black ice. The sorcery was too strong to pause. The temperature became slightly warmer but I felt water dribble out of my mouth. I gasped for air but received no oxygen. Water kept choking from my mouth as I lay limp on the ground.

Water trickled all over my body, like I was drowning in a deep ocean with no light. My eyes closed and I tried shaking images of my family being stabbed. Their stomachs being impaled. Hope shattered from their lifeless eyes as their skulls whacked against the cold, hard ground. I wanted to scream but only water left my mouth. I wanted to cry but no tears would fall. I wanted to feel anger deep inside my soul but no emotions could be found. I felt like my emotional switch was on 'off'.

Tangling all my screams in my throat, the pain urged on. Trying to break me. Masses of evil black ravens complete with both sharp talons and eyes swarmed around me in circles. They mocked me. They laughed and squaked. A couple dived down and drag their claws through my skin. Blood trickled out which felt like boiling hog lava. Hot lava that was internal. Oozing out, the blood never stopped. Did I really have this much blood?

Another merciless swarm of ravens began to circle in front of me. I blinked rapidly, trying to see a figure in between the mass of birds. John was shaking with laughter and fear beside me. It was really sickening. I focussed on the middle of the ravens as a shadow began to form in front of me. All of a sudden, misty fog slowly slithered through the woods and tickled my feet. My senses hit me like a ton of bricks and the drowning stopped. All the ravens screeched before melting into cockroaches beneath my feet.

I swallowed my urge to scream and looked for John through the mist. I hated being blind. It was almost as bad as being constricted for me. I hated seeing nothing but hearing everything. It made me feel helpless but very sympathetic for the blind. The dark figure was the only thing I could see. Everything else was black. I hated the feel of the cockroaches tickling my feet and crawling up my legs. I hated the sound of the wind whipping at the trees.

John's evil, cruel laugh disturbed my panic. Thunder crashed up in the sky as a fork of lighting struck a nearby tree. A fire blazed in its path which heated up the surroundings of the forest. I could feel the warmth of the flame dancing on my cheek and I could see the fire spreading. The weather was out of control. All I could think about was Harry Potter...Don't ask. I guess sorcery has flickered across my mind more than once. I mean, that's the only logical solution I actually have to this mess.
