Chapter 2- Darkness

It drew closer to me, i felt its presence growing nearer, i heard its footsteps quicken and agitated like a hungry beast circling over its prey.

It was pitch-dark here yet, i could see the eyes clearly— it was bright red, They were searching for something. 'Could it be me?' blinding me in that pitch-dark room.

Its sharp metal limbs clamped around my arm forcefully dragging my limp body across the abrasive floor. My eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness, then i caught a glimpse of it.

Its body was made of metal, flakes of rust falling from it as though it were decaying every second, foul smells that slowly filled the room, making it difficult to breathe.

A pair of massive skeletal wings that grew out of its metal body, tearing through the white coat that draped over it.

its eyes were bulging in different directions. My body was covered with abrasions, after being hauled over the surface.

'just lift a finger come on.'

'tell me it was just a bad dream.'

'legs move please move'

I had tried countless times before; I knew it was pointless. My finger wouldn't budge, my legs wouldn't obey. I could only lie there, helplessly.

"Us5el3sS, y0u c4n't 3v3n m0v3 y0ur oWn BoDy Y3t y0u c4ll3d yoUrS3lf aN Arb1t3r? HOw PaTh37ic." -???

The voice was static, i couldn't really make out was what it was saying.

'what is this thing? why did it feel familiar? why did i feel like i have seen this thing multiple times before?'

' is it mocking my helplessness?'

'i tried to remember something, something that happened before i woke up, it felt like something was missing, but i don't know what.'

"Y0u Ar3 u$s3le$5"

"I w4n'7 To F1x YoU."

It grabbed my shoulder, forcing me to sit upright.

"W3ren'7 yOu w3rE 4ct1nG So C0lD, AnD Al00f B3FoR3?"

"Th3n WhY d1d Y0u sT4r3 aT mE lIkE tH@t?"

"YoU RuInEd M3! Ye7 YoU sIt h3r3 m4k1nG m3 que7Ion1nG 1f I m4k3 7hE r1ghT cHoic3."

"YoUr MinD k3p7 scr3Am1ng 'WHY's?' BuT hAve YoU loOk a7 Th3 Mirr0r?"

I wanted to scream, but i couldn't. My mouth was slowly being sewed closed. intense pain spread across my lips, but i couldn't even feel my lips anymore.

It pulled the string to close the gaps completely, just to cut the string again, then repeat the same thing

Again,

Again,

and Again

Until it felt satisfied. But it never did.

The worst feeling wasn't the agonizing pain slowly spreading all throughout my body, but something that i should remember, but the door to my memories that refused to budge no matter how hard i pulled.The harder i tried to remember the more distant it became. Its like someone had ripped that memory out of me, locking away the supposed truth i could never unlock, only leaving me an unfamiliar familiar feeling in me.

"you have known too much." -????
