I walk with wary and cautious steps as I move through the dark forest of confusion and uncertainty. No sound and no light to see for miles, except for the whispers, so close yet so far. Making me walk faster into the depths of the dense and dark forest.
Then I saw something a small yet beautiful spec of light, no three floating specs the colors of pink, purple and green. I gasp in shock and awe as I slowly approach the lights.
They did not flee nor did they recoil as I approached. For they came closer as I grew near holding my hands out to them, gently floating on my rough palms.
They felt so warm and soft in my hands, I smiled as I watched them play and move in my gentle hold. Their light dancing across my face as i bring them nearer to my face, a small laugh falls from my mouth as they nuzzle so sweetly against my wet cheeks, I had yet to know that tears had started to fall from my eyes from the pure happiness and relief.
It was short lived however as the specs quivered and shook as the whispering from before had grown louder and could be heard from behind me. I quickly turn and shudder as I see emerging from the darkness in a staticy harsh mist.
The figure ridged and loose in form, whispering choking groans fell from its presumably permanently opened mouth as its pale flickering eye holes looked at me. I gasp and slowly back away as it sauntered towards me in harsh jerky movements, the small specs had fled in fear as well as I finally turned and ran through the dense forest.
Branches, thorns and twigs tore and bruised my body as I ran with battered breath, yet in every direction I could hear it, I could see IT. its ghastly face staring and whispering to me as I increased my efforts, unwilling to accept my fate to that beast, but soon the floor fell below me as I tumbled the sharp rocks and thorny hill leaving me a wincing mess.
As I gain my composure I see something that makes me still and my eyes widen as I see the lights, no, MY lights as a grinning disgusting figure as it’s long thin fingers reach for the small specs. So distracted, I could barely hear the whispers as they came to my ear, or the aching feeling of the hot mist entering my wounds, nor as my vision began to burn and strain as the mist began to corrupt my vision black icker surrounding my eyes.
I began to choke and rasp as the mist forced its way into my lungs, but soon I was falling, my breath shallow and batted with my body unable to move as I fell through the darkness, I felt so cold as I continued to fall for what felt like hours. Till I saw it, the red pulsating light below me, as I fell slowly closer and closer to it, my knuckle began to ache and twitch with the pulsing of the light.
Soon rose petals started to float past and around me in a red shining shower, each touch of the petals spread warmth around me soothing my aching knuckles, making me close my eyes in bliss and comfort. When I opened my eyes the red light was in my hands beating with uneven rhythms, but as I looked I could see black hands surrounding mine with a gentle embrace.
I lifted my head to see the eyes of the misty figure, now with a wide smile on its face yet I did not feel fear. I felt a warm and aching connection as I squeezed its hands and embraced it back, my eyes falling closed again as we held the light to each other in the silence of the darkness.
Then my knees hit the hard floor of the sidewalk with a figure with no face between my legs, my eyes bolting open to an orange sunset hue, my pupils a thin slit and what once were my hands were bloody claws. And all that could be heard around me were shrilling screams
