As I stood on that chair with a makeshift noose around my neck I repeated these three words....
"I'll wake up "
These words alone kept me from undoing the rope and stepping down to safety. Even though Vivian was a demon I trusted her with my life and if she said jump I'd do it. I knew she wouldn't say until it was safe aha who am I kidding I'm about to hang myself for god sake.
"Skylar you can do this " Vivien whispered somewhere in the back of my mind surprisingly calm seeing as we share my body
OK just one step and it's done
Just one step and...
I'm suspended. Just hanging there. I can feel the tightness of the rope and the pulsing of the blood in my brain and then... Nothing.
Darkness. No sound. No warmth. No chill either. Just nothing. I could breath or was I even breathing?
"Vivian!" I called out
No answer
OK let's not panic I'm probably just were I started. I tried to imagine the walls breaking around me but there wasn't even a sound.
"OK so that didn't work" I mutterd to myself
I continued to walk in the direction I thought was forward and came to some sort of a barrier. I placed my hand on it. The surface felt cold and solid. Like a wall of rock. Maybe I'm in hell like vivian was and she's taken over my body. I trusted her. She promised.
No that's stupid. What's good about a promise made by a demon... I'm stupid.
Only dead girls trust demons. And I.. Am now a dead girl.
"I'm fine, I'll get out of here. I know I will" I said to no one in particular
I scanned around again for any sign of light or even a sign of life.
There was none.
Oh god help me.
Is there even a god now I've bonded with vivan?
Is there anyone?
