Magma P.O.V.
Pain, Like needles, Hundreds of thousands of them, drilling into your skull, pulling out the memories, bringing them back to your conciousness. I must of screamed once or twice. Maybe more. I don't know. Time seemed to slow to a crawl, nothing but emptiness, and pain.
Suddenly I'm reliving my past. Getting attacked by gorgons, meeting chaos, the army, some of our battles, then one that horrified me.
For years I'd pushed this memory away, trying hard not to remember it. Finally I'd suceeded.
And now its back.

A boy with blond hair and blue eyes looks up at me. He's only a few centimeters shorter, but I'm always teasing him about it.
The wind blows my skirt around, while I'm trying to hold it down. We're both laughing at a joke he'd just said. Suddenly his voice grows serious.
"Whats going to happen next year? You're a year above me in school, so you will go to college, while I'll be stuck at primary, for another four terms. How will we keep in contact?" I frowned. The only college was about an hour away. I was going to live on campus with some of my friends, but sadly, leaving one behind.
"I don't know Ben, I really don't know. I'll skype you when I can. It will be hard, but we've survived worse." He's my best friend. We had been since toddlers. Living at eachothers house's during the holidays, walking to the bus together everyday. One of the benifits of living near eachother. I pull my red hair back into a ponytail, trying to keep it off my face.
We walk down the sidewalk, heading towards home. Holidays were finishing tomorrow, then we were on our last term of school. We finally reached my driveway. "See you tomorrow?" Ben asks, glancing at my house.
"Of course!" I laugh. "It's tennis sunday tomorrow! How could we miss it?" WE had set out one day a week, where we would go down to the tennis courts and talk, or play around. I always looksed forward to it. "See you tomorrow!" I gave him a hug and started walking down the drive, when I heard the squeak of tires and a scream.
I turned and watched as a car hit Ben straight on. I screamed his name in shock and raced towards him. I watched as the man drove away. Then I realised who he looked like. Chaos, the only thing different was his percing red eyes. He smiled as he drove away.
I nelt down beside the broken boy. His eyes looking up at the sky, clear and unseeing. I hugged him, knowing he was gone, I would never hear him laugh again. He was gone.
I don't remember how long I sat there hugging his lifeless body, but I remember the sound of yelling then someone came over and hugged me, they were crying too, I could feel their tears on my shoulder. I remember the sound of a siren peircing through my thoughts, pulling me back to reality. Someone edging me away from him. The cops taking his body away, and then me running down the streets down to the tennis courts, tears flowing down my cheeks.
I walked over to the shed where we sheltered if it rained. Inside it smelt of meldew and dust. I looked up at the wall, where we had once carved our names. I grabbed a rock and started writing.
R.I.P. Ben 2001-2012. I will miss you forever.
After that I barely talked. For years I would live in my own world. Barely living, only part there. I went to his funeral, barely able to contain my sadness. Finally mum decided we had to move. Move away from the pain, from the past. I made a friend, Helena, who slowly edged me out of my head and back into reality. I would talk more, eat more, smile more. But the pain never went away.

She screams again. I just want to wrap my arms around her and tell her it will be over soon. But Chaos warned me not to. So I'm just sitting here watching Magma twist and turn in pain. Suddenly she stops, lying compleyely still.
"No, no, no. Stop, please, stop." She murmurs. She starts to shake. "STOP!" She yells again. I look at Chaos, and he nods. I try to stop her shaking, but as I touch her, I'm pulled into her mind.
Her and a boy walk down the sidewalk. We finally reach a driveway then stop. "See you tomorrow?" The boy asks, glancing at a house.
"Of course!" She laughs. "It's tennis sunday tomorrow! How could we miss it? See you tomorrow!" She gives him a hug and starts walking down the drive, when I heard the squeak of tires and a scream.
I turn and watch as a car hits the boy straight on. I stand in shock and stare as Magma races towards him. I watched as the car drives away.
I neel down beside Magma. Her eyes looking down at the lifeless boy. She hugs him. I can tell he's gone. So does she.
She sits there for about five minutes before the yelling begins, people race out the door and over towards the scene. Someone comes and hugs Magma, tears wetting her shoulder. A siren rings down the road, pulling her back to reality. Someone edging her away from him, letting the cops taking his body away, and then Magma starts running down the streets, I follow, down to the tennis courts, tears flowing down her cheeks.
She walks over to a shed. Inside it smelt of meldew and dust. I looked up at the wall Rose,and Ben were carved into the wall. She grabs a rock and starts writing.
'R.I.P. Ben 2001-2012. I will miss you forever.'
After she finishes she just sits there in her own thoughts. Finally after about an hour someone comes and takes her away. Suddenly the memory fades.
I'm back beside her, back in reality. Chaos, who seems to be in shock, nods his head, to tell me its all over. I just stare at her. Tears escape my eyes, one landing on her forehead. She eyes flutter open, pain and loss present in them. She just hugs me and starts crying. We stay like this for a while before she pulls off me, fast asleep.

Wow, honestly? That was deeper than I've written before. But still hope you enjoyed it!
Dedicating to a friend who I based Ben and Magma's relationship off! (Haha, even the tennis sunday is real!)
