Warning: Mention of suicide and self harm

Help. Help me. I can't handle this anymore.

I would continue the messages with my friends, but it didn't help the fact that I could still see their lifeless bodies. I started to think that the messages were just my imagination. I wasn't awake yet.
What if I was stuck like this?

I would pass by a knife ever so often. Wondering if that would put me out of my misery. I felt so worthless. I couldn't even wake up. I couldn't even put a scratch on Lucifer.
But I had to stay alive.

For what? Your children are dead.
No, they're not.
They're as good as dead. You're stuck here.
No. I can get out.
No one can help you. Just end it.
N-no.
Quick and painless.
Stop it. Shut up!
Do it.
NO!
Mistake.

Stop. Please.

"Save me. Please."


"I don't get it! Why won't she wake up?"
"I don't know!"
"Mom! Wake up!"
"She needs to be here to lead!"
"Is she going to be okay?"
"EVERYONE SHUT UP!"
Chelsy looked at us.
"The spell wore off a long time ago. This is the aftereffects. Only Luna can save herself."
"But how?"

"Only I can save myself? What? No... no. I CAN'T!"
They left me. They can't save me. How can I save myself?

Get the knife.
...

"Mom? Mom. MOM!"
"What's wrong with Mom? Why is there blood?"
"I don't know! Get Aunt Chelsy! Or Uncle Dani!"
"Okay!"
"Mom... don't leave me."
