You ran from the following darkness. It consumed everything in it's path, including your friends. Paul had been swallowed when it leaked out of the wall in Tord's room. It was only you, Patryk, and Tord left. But honestly, you didn't think Patryk could last any longer. He was tripping and breathing heavily, looking like he was about to pass out.
"Come on Patryk! Keep running!" You holler back to him.
"I-... I can't!" He puffed out heavily. "I'm sorry."
Tord turned his head over his shoulder and watched with you. Patryk fainted from lack of oxygen. Drammit Patryk! You wanted to be mad at Patryk for giving up and letting himself be killed, but the memory of just a few seconds ago fought down the anger. Tord pointed forward with a smile.
"Look!" He yelled, pointing towards a door with a white rim and a golden doorknob.
"Do you-... think-... we could get-... away!?" You breathed, hoping you wouldn't pass out yourself.
"I hope so!" Tord picked up the pace just a bit.
You wanted to keep up with him so you pushed yourself. The darkness roared and rumbled the ground under you. Finally, you and Tord reached the door. He grabbed the handle and rattled it, then looked up at your E/C eyes with fear and worry. No. Don't tell me it's-
"It's locked."
Crap. He grabbed your hand and pulled you behind him. The darkness used no mercy and swallowed Tord whole. You screamed his name as he was carried away. He reached his arm out for you and you grabbed it, pulling with all your strength. He started to come out. Oh my L0RD! I-I'm doing it! A piece of the black goopy darkness fell onto your hands and you lost your grip, falling back onto your butt.
"No!" You scrambled to get up, but by the time you did, Tord was gone. "TORD!"
You felt a slimy and wet substance start to encase you like a cocoon. It started by trapping your feet, then moved up.
"Get off me you stupid black ooze!" You attempted to kick it off of you, even if you knew it wouldn't work.
Before you knew it, the ooze was around your head. Your view started to fade into darkness as more and more surrounded you. It wasn't until long that it felt and looked like you were floating in space. You couldn't move, it was too sticky. There was no sound, no objects or people... nothing. You couldn't talk unless you wanted to risk it invading your lungs. In a way, it acted like water, but it was far more deadly. You couldn't breathe it in, or at least you didn't want to try to find out. You felt a sudden pain on your exposed skin. Smoke started to arise. I'm melting. You focused on your burning arm. AH! I'M MELTING! You struggled to kick your legs and wail your arms, but wouldn't get anywhere. You saw a white area ahead of you where smoke was also rising. You focused on the brown hair around the skull. You felt the tears escaping your eyes burn like paper. Another skeleton could be seen not much fatrher from you. Then, you felt something grasp your arm.
"AHHHHH!" You screamed, shooting up from the mattress.
You breathed heavily and pulled the covers up to your face, wiping the tears away.
::Tord's Pov::
I sighed as I closed the book. I looked at my watch. I should get to sleep now. I reached over and place the book on the nightstand then turned off my reading lamp. I pulled the covers up to my chest and settled in. I closed my eyes only to have them shoot open a moment later. I was startled to the point I threw my pillow at my door in defense. It was a scream that had woke me up. F/N? I rushed out of bed and pushed open her bedroom door. She hid her face in the covers. I ran over to her side and stood quietly.
"Are you okay F/N!?" I worried for her.
She pulled the covers away from her face and wrapped her arms around me tightly. She squeezed me like a kid squeezed their new teddybear. She cried into my shoulder.
"What happened?" I started to rub soothing circles on her back.
"I had a horrible dream!" She cried, tightening her grip somehow. "I thought you died but-but I'm not sure because something grabbed my arm right before the dream ended and I don't know if it was you or-or not!"
I shushed her and smiled. Her crying started to calm. I reached back and grabbed hold of her hand, squeezing it. She squeezed back and pulled away. I leaned forward and kissed away her leftover tears. A pink brushed across her cheeks.
"It's okay. I'm here F/N. I won't let anything happen to you."
"You promise?" She looked shyly into my gray eyes.
"I promise." I nodded.
She gave me a warm smile and I returned it as I hugged her again for extra assurance.
Italics is a dream now. For Ka-Chan_Come_Nutella. Hey, look what I did to my Ex.
