Reality of Daydreams

I'll Come to You

Minnie stiffened a yawn, scratching the back of her neck. "Yeah, nomads. They were a major player in the Broken War. Pity." "What do you mean?" I asked as Minnie rolled onto her stomach, holding herself up with her elbows. "They were pretty much wiped out, but some of them integrated themselves into other societies. Most were caught though..." There was something dark hidden in her words that made me shiver. Were they all dead? More than five years and they're gone. I looked up at Minnie who stared blankly at her hands. We were surrounded by a sad sort of silence. I wanted to say something but didn't know what. Finally, Minnie pushed herself off the bed, "We should probably put these candles. They aren't cheap ya know." I let out a short laugh, "Why did you light them all then?" Minnie smiled awkwardly, "I wanted to show off my room a little. I never let anyone in here so, first impressions." She said before blowing out the last candle by her bed. "Night Charlie." "Night."

Her breathing was heavy and loud in the darkness. She was terrified. It's going to come back soon, it always finds me at night. Always at night. Whenever the sunset she became filled with fear of what the darkness would bring. Night after night. Morning after morning. It had been three years. Three years of living in filth and the dark. She had grown so accustomed to the constant pain that she didn't feel it anymore, which only frightened her more. She could feel it getting closer, appearing off in the distance to by her side in a frightening moment.

And how is the little Uni today?

I swallowed, knowing that soon I wouldn't be able to breathe again. I had been brave this far, why should I stop? I felt as oxygen stopped entering my lungs. It was like a snake was coiling itself around me. I kept my eyes opened trying desperately to breath. I hadn't eaten in the past two days and could feel myself succumbing to my weakness.

Come now, you know how to make it all stop... 

The voice came again, tauntingly. I knew what it wanted but also knew that it would never stop, even if I did its evil bidding. I could feel my whole body twitch as blood was being cut off to the rest of my body. I'm too weak. It's been too long. I deserve to sleep, to rest. To die. Haven't I suffered enough? 

The scene of the fire flashed before my eyes as the screams filled my ears. It's not my fault. The Wolf-Slayer then?  No, it was nobodies fault. It was an accident. No ones to blame. Not even me. It was over, I had nothing left. The willingness to suffer in an effort to punish my sins. I felt myself breath my last. I'll see them again. I thought happily, the first happy thought I've had since they died. I couldn't feel anything anymore. Feeling a strange sense of peace I smiled despite myself.

"I'll come to you," I mouthed as no longer cold darkness surrounded me.

A/N

See, I kept my promise. Not going to lie I teared up writing the last paragraph. (Maybe it's because of the music I'm listening to, Or I'm just uber emotional right now.)

Yesterday was fine, I slept through my alarm so I better not do that today. ;)

Once again see ya peeps later! <3
