Will it Hurt?
When I woke back up, all I could hear was screaming and my name being called. 'Vexen! Vexen stop!' And then finally my vision cleared. I had never been so scared. All I saw was red, and the fear in his eyes. It was Jeremy, and he had a pen in his arm! My hands were around his neck. Was I chocking him?? I yanked them back as fast as I could and I started to panick. As soon as my classmates saw that I let go, someone pulled me off of Jeremy. It was my teacher Mr. Ives. He pulled me into the hallway as I blankly stared at others helping Jeremy up. School security rushed into the classroom, while another security escorted me to the principal's office.
I sat in silence as Principal Collins yelled at me. I was trying to recall the blank space of memory in which I 'supposedly' assaulted the boy that's been bullying me since freshmen year. When I heard Collins yell my name, I snapped back to reality and said 'Huh?' "I said, what made you do such a thing? Your a high ranking student with a clean record, not even a tarty!!! So why??" All I could say was," I honestly don't know! I know that whenever I'm taunted I ignore it and just brush it off, but everything about earlier is a blur. I'm being truly honest, I promise."
After he dismissed me to the main office,I watched as Jeremy was wheeled out of the school by an ambulance. I didn't know how to feel about seeing him in pain like he deserved, so I sat in silence. The secratary came out of Mr. Collins office, then started to make an announcement on the intercom. " Will Sarah Jones come to the office? Sarah Jones." Oh, I remember she sits next to me in history, and she saw the fight. After about a minute or so, she walked into the main office. She looked to scared to even look at me. The secratary showed her to Collins' office and shut the door. I couldn't make out the words through the wall, but after about 10 minutes they called me back in.
When I sat down Mr. Collins said," Sarah here would like to to talk to you Vexen." She looked at me with hesitation. "H-hi Vexen. 'Hey Sarah' Mr. Collins told me you couldn't remember anything." "Yes could you tell me what happened before the fight." I asked. "Sure," she responded. "Jeremy was picking on you." 'As usual' I thought to myself. "And it seemed you were trying your best to ignore him, but the look on you face was strange. You just looked blank, like you were asleep and still awake. Then something strang happened." "What?" I asked eagerly. "You wispered very softly, but I heard you. You said 'I promise it will not hurt'. That's when your grabbed you pen and swung it at Jeremy." She started to speak more frantically with every breath. "Your entire mood changed! You smile devilishly and had blood lust in your eyes!!!" "That's enough Sarah!" Collins interrupted. He excused Sarah and left me on his office saying he'd return. I was left alone with my thoughts.
'What does that mean? And was I promising, Jeremy?' And then it hit me! I wasn't asleep or unconscious. I was awake, very much.
*Flashback*
"C'mon punk tell the answer!" Jeremy said thumping the back of my head. 'Just ignore him, he'll stop eventually.' I reassured myself. I closed my eyes and wished it would all stop. "Maybe I can help with that." The voice came from behind me, but didn't sound like anyone in my class. When I turned around i was terrified. I saw nothing but darkness. I was in darkness. I scrambled and looked for the source of the voice. Till finally...I saw it.
It was a boy. It was me. Same face, same clothes, even the hair! But his eyes, they weren't mine. They were yellow and the pupil was..vertical and unnatural. I didn't know what to think. All I could say was," Am I dreaming?" He smirked and laughed. "No. And before you ask, yes I am you. But not completely you. I'm your anger. I'm all the times you were bullied and wanted to fight back. All the you were annoyed by humans and wanted make them quiet. Make the world quiet. I brought you here, to you subconscious, to tell you I can help." He, I mean I was right. All I've ever wanted was quiet. "What do I have to do?" I asked. "Just go to sleep. I'll take over the vessel, I mean body and you get a long deserved sleep. Now just take my hand." I hesitated to extend my arm. " Will it hurt?" He got a sinister, ear-to-ear, smile and replied in a scary voice.
"No. I promise. It will not hurt.
