The Wailing

Chapter Nineteen: Awake

"Stop!". I bolted straight up out of the white bed I was laying in. Bandages covered my arms and the left one had a red line down the middle of it. My right arm had a small needle inserted into my vein. I was wearing a white dress that stopped right before my knee. It was dark, the sun was not shining through the window to my right. A small beeping sound echoed in the room breaking the silence after my scream. I was in the hospital.

I looked over to the beeping monitor and my heart rate was good, well it was normal anyways. A small light shined above my head so the room was not completely dark. A small knock came from the outside of the door and a small woman came in. She had black hair that hung to her shoulders, and she was chewing some type of gum. She had black eye liner on with some foundation. She looked like she was in her early twenties at least.

"Mr. Mack? I'm so glad you're awake". She didn't even look up at me. She just stared down at a brown clipboard she was holding and wrote down some things.

"Why am I here?". I whispered. My throat hurt a lot making my voice very weak and quiet. She stopped writing and looked up at me.

"Do you remember anything?". She asked. I tried to put my thoughts together but could only come up with one thing.

"Wet. I was really cold and wet". I replied.

"Larson, you took your own life. Your friend found you on the woods bleeding to death from self mutilation, and brought you here".

"Who?". I asked.

"I never got their name, but they seemed concerned about your well being". She smiled. She looked at my monitor and wrote some more things down. "I'll get Dr. Greene. I'll be right back sweetheart". She smiled at me again and closed the door softly behind her. Sweetheart huh? Reminded me of my mother...wait.

"Lathious!". I yelled out loud when I really didn't need to. I just acted on an impulse I couldn't get rid of.

"What". He growled. He really sounded pissed at me but for good reason.

"What happened to me?". I pleaded getting more energy back.

"You killed us you selfish mortal. I once said you die, I die. And we died".

"But why? Why did I kill myself?".

"I am not sure about your whereabouts. However when you bled out, I was forced to walk alone. I followed you. At one time, your heart failed and they believed you to be dead. The men with white coats pronounced you deceased until your heart rate spiked up too much above average. And we'll, here we are. Back inside each other".

Then it hit me. The memories of all past events exploded through my mind. Tate, Brittney, the rape, the razor, Mavious, peace. My body started to shake and I opened my eyes wide.

"What's happening?". I asked.

"I'm not sure". Lathious questioned. My body jerked sideways and I let out a small gasp. The monitor was beeping out of control now and I quickly unplugged myself from it. It flat lined, as I tore the IV out of my vein. I ran to the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror. My eyes were doing the same thing of what all the others did. They were glowing a brilliant color. The color blue.

"Lathious!". I yelled freaking out. The lights in the bathroom flickered on and off and one of them bursted and fell to the floor.

"Calm child! You must stay calm!". He warned. Another light bursted open and I looked back to my bed. The monitor was beeping out of control but nothing was attached to it. The lights in the room bursted to life, flickering like the ones in the bathroom. I ran out of the bathroom and touched to door. "Wait! There's a note beside your bed". I looked over to the small nightstand by the white bed and saw a note labeled Larson. I quickly grabbed the note and the table started shaking. The entire room started shaking.
