The Last 6

Chapter 9: "Its going to be Okay"

~Serena~

"Mom...Dad..."

I can't speak, I'm numb everywhere, can't hear, cant see through the darkness of everything.

"SERENA!!!"(Amy, Knight, Katerina, Blake)

The voices in my head go unnoticed. I just want to see my mom and dad.

I keep trying to call out to my parents to no avail and the voices in my head are trying to get me to calm down.

This goes on for awhile. Me just calling into the darkness and them responding with a...

"Serena, you need to calm down."

The voices all sound the same to me. I can't distinguish them.

After a long time in this dark pit, I can feel shifts in my surroundings.

Soon a light can be seen. The hole that was made gets bigger and bigger until big enough for me to get out through.

But I can't move. I just look out into the open space.

A face comes into view, and I'm pulled out of the pit and brought over to an open space.

They pull me into their arms, and I take comfort in it. They look familiar but mind is such a jumbled mess I can't recall who they are. The only thing I hear before I fall into the abyss of sleep is.

"It's going to be Okay, Serena."

Sleep takes over and I'm brought to a place that engulfs me in peace.

I splash around in the pond for a good minute before I'm pulled out, quite forcefully I may add, into a big embrace.

The dragons holding me in a hug are crying their eyes out. I feel an urge to comfort them. So I do, and as if on instinct I call out to them.

"I'm fine Amy, Katerina."(Serena)

Names I recognise, but insticually called them. I can only assume that those are their names. The minute they pull away, and I see their faces I actually recognise them and put the name to the face.

"We're so sorry Serena."

Three more dragons, one by one start appearing in this space. And one by one I put a name to a face in recognition.

The last one to appear is Drake, and I run up to him and constantly apologize for not recognizing him before.

He just stands there holding me in his arms and whispering:

"It's going to be Okay, Serena. It's going to be Okay."

When I'm done with my rant, I still have one more thing to say.

"Where's Mom and Dad?"

All he does is hold me closer to him, and I can hear him crying by my ear.

"Dead. They're all dead. Everyone."(Katerina)

Her voice was broken. I could feel the sorrow. Everyone. Drake's grip get tighter and now I'm the one comforting him.

I just rub his back.

As I think back on his words, I realize that they were for him just as much as they were for me.

So I reiliterate them to him.

"It going to be Okay."(Serena)
