Silver Lining: The Haunted

Ch 34 - Spirit

-Drake-

It's happening all over again isn't it? Why. Why does this have to happen. How did this happen? HE was supposed to be dead! I know I'm. It alone wherever I am. There is another presence with me wherever we are trapped by Herobrine. This is just great. Fan-freaking-tastic. He somehow survived and trapped me in what I'm guessing is my own mind so that he can possess my body again and I'm trapped in here with something else.

It is like a endless dark room. It's hard to tell which way is up or, left or right, upside down or right side up but not like I'm floating. It's just nothing. The other subconscious moves closer to me and I can feel the curiosity and fear radiating from it. If I concentrate hard enough it feels like we are both connected somehow. Like there is an invisible string that binds us as one.

A soft reddish glow creeps closer and a soft bluish glow emits from me.

"Hello?" I call out uncertainly. It inches closer and I can begin to see it take shape. It looks like an.... enderman?

"Hello?¿?¿¿" it sounds almost ghostly as it has a slight echo behind it. "Who? Who you are?"

"Who are you?" I take a few steps back. It peers closer and tilts it head in a very animal like matter. Just breathe, you got this. "Do you k ow how to get out of here. Where am I?"

"Our mind.....trapped."

"Our?

"We are one, the same, are we not?"

-Armen-

"Their gone! What do we do?!"

" I don't know but panicking will not help! So please just calm down Mia."

"I'm not panicking! I'm just worried!"

"I kno-"

I didn't bother listening to the rest. I don't know how long it's been since they disappeared. Drake took Collin and disappeared through some sort of portal to goddess knows where. I've been standing here staring at the circle of dead grass on the ground where they were standing. I feel everything, yet nothing all at once. Am I in shock? I don't know or care. Everything is numb. I don't get it. How is that wretched demon still alive. Drakes eyes very clearly glowed white and he spoke clear English in a voice that is not his. I don't know if his parting words or the white eyes scare me more. The whole situation scares me.

"Armen!" Grayson shakes me out of my spiraling thoughts.

"What!" I snapped out of it to find both of them in front of me.

"I said that we need to come up with a plan and find them." Grayson easily took charge.

"We need to also find out how Herobrine is still alive! I thought we killed him!" Mia shouted as she started digging through her backpack.

"No we need to st-"

"Ahhgckhhhhhhh!" It suddenly felt like there was lightning shooting through my head and down my spine. Every never lit up and paralyzed my body. I couldn't hear over the ringing and my vision blurred.

"I AM ETERNAL."

"YOU CANNOT KILL ME YOU FOOLISH MORTALS."

"YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD GET RID OF ME?"

"Armen! Are you o-"

"I WILL BE THE LAST THING YOU SEE BEGIRE YOUR PAINFUL AND EXCRUCIATING DEMISE"

  "Armen talk to us! What's wrong!"

"Grayson? Please it hurts..." it barley came out as a whisper. As quickly as it started it stopped. "He...he was in my head again! Everything hurts and I'm scared. Please!"

He pulled me close to his chest to calm me down. Everything was spinning and my breathing wouldn't slow. It felt like my heart would beat out of my chest. Mia came out and rested her hand on my shoulder. Time passed and we regrouped as best we could. The air had since grown still and an eerie quiet settled over everything. It seemed like the animals even went quiet and hid.

It was bright up close. We had drifted closer together to where we are standing face to face. I looked up at it and our eyes have been locked ever since. It's like a gateway opened up between both of our minds and we could instantly communicate and see one another's thoughts and memories all at once. Mirroring each other we lifted and connected our right hands together and the colors of our spirits begin to swirl around together. Blue combined with red and formed a bright purple. Memories that I did not know melded into my own as if they had been there the entire time. New instincts awakened and everything around me became much more clear.

With the renewed strength I fought. I may have almost lost to him last time, but this time I won't give him a chance to even think about winning. This was my mind and my body. My life! He doesn't belong here and I will not let him win!

I pushed back against the hold he had over me. Despite him biting back stronger, it only fueled my determination and rage to break free. The light was getting closer every second and it was mine to take. If this demon thought he could take over again, he is wrong. This time I'm going to finish him and make sure he stays gone!

"GET OUT OF MY MIND! GET OUT IF MY BODY! I AM NOT YOUR PUPPET AND I WILL NOT LET YOU CONTROL ME OR HURT ME AND MY FRIENDS EVER AGAIN!!!!"
