Gain

Chapter Twenty Six

The voices swarmed around as she struggled to concentrate. They rang, deliberately, all in one long scream. Her ears felt like they were bleeding but she soon realised the wetness were her own tears. She was crying. Yes, finally something she was used to. She reached out but no one came to hold her hand. Darkness, all she knew was darkness. The voices ambushed her as she placed all her strength on blocking them out. Instead a single voice made itself clear.

"Come on now, Come" it said. She struggled to focus as she reached out. Darkness, all she knew was darkness. Come. It urged her to remember and so she did...

Bright sunlight blazed down as her mouth began to taste metallic. The skin at the bottom of her feet seemed to sear. She looked up and his silhouette refused to remain still. She reached out but he moved ten steps back. Her feet sizzled but more than anything she ached for a little bit of water.

"Focus okay, we're going to try again. I'll call your name and you come fetch the ball from me. Okay," he said losing the patience to hide his annoyance. He called for her. She didn't respond. Squinting she saw that he wiped the sweat away from his face and looked at her exasperated. He called. But she didn't even know if she could remember how to move. He yelled as he ran up to kick her.

"We've been over this countless times. For fucks sake all you need to do is remember!!!" He knelt down and grabbed her by the neck and squeezed. When he released the pressure she let out a series of coughs.

"Say it with me now!" he screamed in her face and didn't let go. He yelled continuously until she whispered along. His eyes blazed in triumph as he urged her on.

"Yes! Yes! Say it with me, what's your name?" he screamed as they said the answer in unison. Gain. Gain. Gain. Gain. Gain. Gain. Gain. Gain....

Strong arms attempted to restrain her as she felt herself swim in her own sweat. She reached, she reached for any form of light. But all she knew....

Dara yelled for Minzy to hurry up. They couldn't hold her down for long and this episode seemed really bad. Rosé kicked out a leg and it hit CL in the jaw. She didn't let go though as Dara held her arms while Bom tried to hold her head still. Minzy came with the spoon and dunked it in to her mouth. She didn't want to swallow but Minzy held her mouth shut. Her body felt weak,

"Fuck it! My jaw. Shit we need to find a way to get her use to syringes"

Her skin tingled and the darkness nearly overtook her but desperately she reached out her hand. Hoping, searching, needing....

She fell back and landed on to a soft surface and cotton like light surrounded her as she saw the sunset to her left. The ocean waves ran over each other playfully. A beach house. The breeze twirled the baby blue curtains and it seemed to enjoy the dance. Streams of orange light beamed through the room and with her hands roaming around she believed she was lying on a bed. Her head was still turned towards the sunset but butter melted fingers turned her head upwards.

She found herself looking at the most beautiful woman she's ever seen. Dandelion brunette tuffs fell down and framed her face, knowing the effort needed to emphasise such beauty. They did their job effortlessly with a few streaks falling forward. Her button nose scrunched up adorably as she moved the hair out of the way. Chae was grateful; she could admire her clearly.

The statuesque bridge of her nose rose like something yearning to be conquered. It was decorated with a face filled with...Chae lost herself, words; she didn't have the right words. The woman was all curves including the shape of her eyes which shone like crescent moons. Her lips were plump and Chae knew the taste of them would put the sweetest of fruit to shame. They curved in to a smile and the eyes tilted upwards. She wished she knew how to follow someone's lead like those eyes just followed those lips. The streams of light sparkled behind the brunette, and Chae felt that this is what it meant to be adorned.
