Silver Fox

Good Nightmare

Silver's POV
I waited until the lights clicked off before I followed Otone into dreamland. I fell short. I landed myself in a nightmare instead.

Nightmare:
I was curled up in Takashies arms. He was hugging me. I felt safe. Then he was gone. Vanished as soon as he came. I called out his name. My voice echoed in the bottomless black void.

What am I doing...? Takashie is safe without me. I only bring him danger. He's better off without my. I sat down and curled my legs to my chest. If this was better what did it hurt so much? I loved him...but....he's in danger with me around. I'm only dragging him down. I'm a burden to him. Why would he want me in the first place. I wouldn't want me...

What am I doing here....? Why am I here....? How did my life come to this universal stop. What caused this pivot of my perfect life. What happened to my happy family? What happened to my warmth and happiness. I searched my body. Everywhere was ice cold. Everywhere was sad.

Suddenly the ground beneath me cracked. I fell into the canon, grabbing the ledge. I looked down to see even more darkness below. If I jumped who would catch me? If I fell who would care?

Behind my happy smile I'm broken. Behind my laugh I'm sobbing. I am not ok.

I

Let

Go

I fell into the black obis. I fell and fell. No ground in sight. I'm just free falling faster and faster into insanity and there is nothing I can do about it. What could anyone do about it?

Nothing

Nothing

Nothing

Absolutely nothing.

It's my problem. I have to deal with it alone. I have to save Otone. I have to heal myself. I have to put Watinie behind bars. I have to see Takashie again. I want to be with Takashie again. I want to lay on the couch and watch movies. I want to cook and eat with him. I want to sleep next to him a night.

I need to get to Takshie.

I grabbed the wall of the void beside me. Stopping my fall abruptly. It hurt like hell. But I need to see Takshie. I have to see Takshie. I'm going to see Takshie. I climbed no matter how hard it was. I climbed up and up. No matter how many times I slipped and fell again. No matter how set back I am. I kept climbing. No one needs to catch me. I need to catch myself for other people.

I need to do this for other people. People who depend on me. I need to protect those I love. I will get to the top of this canon. When I do, God, I will do everything I need too. I will save Otone! He will be reunited with his family!! I WILL GET OUT OF HERE AND SEE TAKSHIE AGAIN!!!!

Then I woke up in tears. I was laying down on my side. Otone climbed inside the back of my sweater. I smiled. Smart kid.

I looked at the poorly done stitches on my arm. I opened the stitches and used the blood to draw a magic circle. This one was different. It was for healing. I don't know we're I learned it, but I did it. I pressed on the centre of the circle and white light poured out of my pointer finger. I moved it along my cut and my skin sewed itself together. I did the same on my side. I did it on my knee as well but I could tell it didn't heal fully. At least I could walk again. I didn't have much magic energy left so I drew a circle on Otone's legs and healed him. Then wiped the black blood from my noise and feel asleep.

I woke up quickly. It was still dark and the air was still icy cold. I could tell it was late very late still. I grabbed Otone out of my sweater and carried him like a baby with my good arm. He was light and fragile. I was extra careful not to wake him up.

I stalked up the wooden chairs not daring to make a sound. I forced my eyes to adjust to the darkroom. Remembering the way Watinie walked up to not make any noise. The door at the top of the stairs opened without a single creak. Watinie was dumb to think I was this stupid not not even have any guards. Not a single wolf was in the building. I couldn't smell a single being in the abandoned house.

I looked out the nearest window seeing we were in the middle of nowhere surrounded by a forest. No doubt wolfs were everywhere in the forest. How the hell do I figure this one out.

When in doubt run as fast as possible and don't look back. No way we are staying in this place any longer.

I concentrated and inhaled deeply. I smelt wolfs everywhere. But where were there less. Where were there less?

I focused even more breathing again. This time there was more on my right then left. Dead centre out of the door was the weakest point. It was time to run. It was time to run fast.

I held Otone close and darted out the door. I just sprinted for freedom. None of them suspected that I could figure out how to heal myself. None of the wolfs smelt me as I ran through their imperfect barrier. As soon as the first wolf howled I was already far away. It was time to run to the Wolf-Fox border. No wolfs on the fox side. No foxes on the wolf side. The simple sacred rules.

I just need to get past then we are safe. When day break hits I will execute phase 2 of my plan. Getting Otone home. If this plan doesn't work, then maybe God really does truly hate me. Maybe I am just an outcast.
