Bring Him Back (Book 2 of Ssundee Battle Trilogy)

Chapter 25 - Limbo

I opened my eyes, everything was dark. My whole body hurt all over. I looked around. A bright light was one one side of me. Pure darkness on the other side.

Am I dead?

I stood up, scanning the area I was in. It was illuminated by a dim light. A Tv stood under said light.

I walked up to it, curious as to what was on it. Something was playing. I recognised it too well.

My memories, all of my life up to now, all being played on a Tv, for me to witness before passing away.

I watched my life, from when I was a youngster. To my teen years. To my military years.

When I came home. Maddie. The birth of my son, and all of the fun times we spent together. Starting my YouTube channel. The divorce. New Maddie.

Meeting all of my friends, joining Team Crafted. The Times where things got better.

Then the bad memories started. The 2 weeks that destroyed my life. Our of 26 years, two weeks is all it took.

I watched through the memories. The sight of Seto, the fear on his face when he was being restrained by Derp.

Jordan's lifeless body when Derp nearly killed him, only to be saved by Seto.

Hearing the news that Jerome had died. How sad I was when I was convinced that it was all my fault

When I ran away. And Deadlox followed me, only to find out that I can actually fight him.

Being kidnapped and forced to watch Jordan being tortured.

Hearing when Mitch had sacrificed himself for me.

The funeral. Seeing Mitch and Jerome. Happy. Seeing Derp again. Haunting me for the 10 years that came along after.

Then it showed the times in between. During those 10 years.

It showed me and Jordan becoming best friends. How happy we both were when we hung around together.

When Seto was kicked from Team Crafted, I still don't know why. I thought it would be Mitch that got him kicked out, but no.

I arrived at the house one day, and Seto was packing his bags. When I asked him why, he said he had been kicked by Sky. Deadlox had tried to keep him but Sky was adamant. (Not true, but Benja and Bacca are dead so I had to improvise)

The time where I was scared to death because Seto went into hiatus, and didn't upload or put anything on YouTube or Twitter for a while. (Still going on with him now)

Then it showed the night before I was taken, how worried I was about Jordan.

I turned the Tv off. I didn't want to see the memories of the past few weeks.

I looked towards the light, then to the darkness. I knew how this worked. Walk towards the light and you survive, walk towards the darkness and you die for real.

Only a few are given this choice, so I must use it wisely.

"Do they really want me back" I said to myself. "I have put them through enough torture, they won't exactly be welcoming me with open arms."

And why would we think that?

I jumped at the sudden voice, it sounded so familiar. I turned around to find the source of the noise. Sure enough I found it.

Jordan Maron, otherwise known as Captainsparklez stood there. Concern on his face. I ran up and hugged him.

"I'm so sorry, for everything." I said into his ear. I sat down on the floor, putting my head in my hands.

There's nothing to be sorry for, you did nothing wrong

"We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for me. I wouldn't be missed if I were to die now." I said.

Why do you think I am here? I would have stayed away if I didn't care. The other Captainsparklez is giving his life so you can be alive. I don't want that to be wasted if you choose to give up now.

I look up at him. He is holding his hand out towards me.

C'mon, Seto and the others are waiting

I took his hand and stood up. I looked back to the darkness. Only to see it was coming closer.

"Run, it's coming closer!" I yelled, running for the light.

The darkness was chasing us. I could see it had taken over the spot I was in only seconds before.

Just keep running
