Y/n POV

Theo stared coldly into my eyes, I gulped down the lump in my throat. I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out, we sat in silence as a tear fell from my eye.
Why am I crying?

I hugged my arms for comfort.
I just want all this to end, I'm constantly confused, you are too. I don't know who to trust, it hurts. I can't love two people if they both constantly manipulate my mind.
Theo kneeled in front of me still holding the knife, his hands sat rested on his knees. I didn't look at him, I couldn't bear it. Oceans crawled from my eyes as we sat in silence. I didn't care if Theo saw me cry, I needed to let it out.

Theo reached up to my cheek, I flinched when he set his cold, lifeless hand on my skin. I wanted nothing more than to recoil myself from his touch. It disgusted me, but why? I couldn't put my finger on it something was different about him. He dropped the knife on the floor which caused me to jump. He grabbed a handful of my hair and dragged me to a small door I hadn't seen before. He opened the door and threw me in, he then proceeded to the lock to the door from the outside. I ran to the door and tugged on the handle.
No use
No, no no not again I don't want to be locked up again! 
My breathing became frantic as I searched for possible exits, my vision had begun to go blurry and dark, I felt as if I was suffocating.

I ran to a small window in the room, the glass was solid, probably could not be broken even if I tried. The room was concreate like the one Ollie and I had been kept in at the 'hospital'. I walked back to the door and banged on it pleaded for theo to let me out. I looked to my hands and that strange red aura had come back, I flipped my hands back an forth slowly watching the red smoke flow almost perfectly with my hand movements.
A heat of anger came over me, it was like nothing I had ever felt. I touched the wooden door once again and watched as the door lay as ashes on the floor, I smirked with a sense of satisfaction. I stepped over the pile of ashes and out into the hallway of the cabin I had become familiar within the time we had stayed there. I knew what I had to do.

Theo walked out from the kitchen holding a small glass of water. My anger overtook me as I began to transform into a new body, my hands soon became a strange hoove like platform. My vision blurred and then refocused, it was a bit fuzzy but I could get over that. Theo dropped the glass and ran for the front door but struggled when it was locked, he fidgeted with the broken lock as I crept closer. I wanted nothing more than to kill him right there, I couldn't even control the urge anymore. But somehow it had felt familiar like a sweet childhood memory. An image flashed through my mind.

Small children ran through the outside grounds of the 'hospital' they played different games. In the far-right corner of the caged-in grounds, a boy sat alone. I walked to the small boy, his dirty red hair swayed in the artificial air, he looked up to me with ghost-like eyes. I knew they had once shined to be a beautiful winter breeze.

"Hello there," the boy looked at me with curiosity while twirling a blue flower in his hands "That flower, it matches your eyes." The boy nodded.
"It's pretty," he smiled softly at himself.
"Yes, I agree," I sat next to the small boy for what felt like hours.

Finally, the bell for everyone to go back inside rang, we walked in a single file line inside the building. The boy walked behind me, he tapped my shoulder slightly. I turned to him.
"Yes?" I raised my eyebrow to him, he held up the blue flower.
"Here you should have this." he shoved the flower in my hands.
"Are you sure?" He nodded and smiled slightly. We walked into the building.

sudden images of a small boys body, bloodied and broken laid on the floor in front of me, I looked down to my hands that were covered in blood and my fingers had been morphed into a sort of claw shape.

I woke up from my memory laying on the couch, I shot up in a cold sweat and began to panic.
Theo sat on the small stool in the kitchen watching his fingers intertwined back and forth.
"Theo?" I question him, He perked up right away.
"Yes?" he asked hesitantly.
"Wh-what happened?" I walked closer to him, he scooched away slowly in his chair.
"Y/n, you don't remember?" I shook my head "Y/n you attacked me." My heart dropped.
"I what?" He nodded slowly while still backing away.

A loud knock came from the front door. Theo and I shared glances back and forth, he hesitantly walked to the door before opening it a small crack. He looked puzzled for a moment before opening the door all the way and gesturing to the empty spot where someone should have been.
I shrugged, Theo shut the door once again and walked into his room. I did the same and walked inside my room shutting the door behind me. My mind raced, how could I have attacked Theo? A small whisper came from my open window. Ollie stepped into view.

"Miss me?" He hopped in the window and sat on the flat edge. I smirked.
"As a matter of fact, I did," I walked up to him slowly and hugged him tightly "But we still need to talk." He let go of the hug but still held my hands in his.

A creek came from the floor outside of my door, I turned around to the door and shushed Ollie quietly. The door handle began to wiggle slightly before shaking violently.
"Y/n open the door," Theo spoke loudly. I grabbed Ollie by the arm and shoved him into the closet before silently shutting the window, I walked over to the door and unlocked it. Theo walked in looking around again.
"Can I help you?" my voice sounded harsher than I meant it to.
"Who were you talking to?" Theo yelled in a whisper
"No one, why?"
"I heard someone else voice." Theo walked to the closet.
"No one's here I was talking to myself," Quickly I saw the closet door open and Ollie jump out and punch Theo In the jaw.
"Oh my god, Ollie what the hell!" I gasped and held my hands in front of my mouth in shock.
"Whatttt? I'm sorry okay he deserved it." Ollie picked up Theo over his shoulder and walked him out of the room. "Do you have anywhere we could put him while we talk?" I nodded slowly and showed Ollie to Theo's room.
"This has to many exits do you have anywhere more cut off?" images of that small door Theo had locked me in earlier flashed in my head.
"Y-yes we do." I led him to the small door and he threw Theo inside before locking it.
"Good now that that's been dealt with we should talk." I nodded.
