Chapter 243: Voices {1}
EMMA
~
It was all darkness... wasn’t that supposed to be what one sees when unconscious? But I see it all... I sense it... almost like there was a third eye somewhere and I was clearly alive to everything around me. My body, even though unmoving, could feel every single thing... the sound of the wind, I could hear it whistle in my ears, making those blowing noises. I could sense the rise and fall of the sun each passing day, and feel the cold too... It was getting colder every day and the snow was already sticking to the ground.
The presence of everyone who came into my room, leaving and staying, the smell of them too. I could hear Vanessa’s voice too, how she speaks to me, the pain, the sadness that clouded her voice and words, she would hold my hand and speak to me, in her assumption I couldn’t hear her but I did. I could feel the struggle she went through of how she couldn’t bring herself to tell my mom about my condition until she finally did.
"I called Vivian, I didn’t exactly tell her what happened to you, I just told her she really needs to come back. I don’t want her to panic on her way here, she gets like that every time"
Her words that day.
My mom came, cried, and stayed with me every single day and I really wanted to open my eyes but I couldn’t... my body was just too weak. I had no idea what Vanessa told her, how I ended up here but it seems like she was yet to know the cause of my state. She was left once again from the supernatural world and I appreciate it. It was better than knowing what really happened. I told myself...
I don’t know how long I have been in this position with only my mind roaming free. It hurts... each passing day because I knew of what Vanessa did... It hurts so much because he wasn’t allowed to see me. I could feel his pain even though it was just a faint fragment of it. I tried to sense him but I can’t... not anymore... that was when I began to move.
I was scared because I can’t sense Dace anymore. So I moved my finger.
I was angry because he was cast away because of Vanessa’s wishes. So I moved my big toe.
I was driven by a strong desire to see him again. I moved my head.
