Chapter I -- Mae
I'm home alone. Surfing the web. Listening to music.I don't notice the smoky black arm until it wraps around my leg.
I scream and jump up. My leg is pulled out from under me. I'm sliding. My vision blackens and blurs. The air is knocked out of my lungs. I feel a string tugging in my heart, my lungs....
I grab at anything; anything that can keep me in reality. Anything that can stop whatever this is.
My hand snags a table leg, and I grip it for all I'm worth.
I stop moving, but the black surrounds me. An involuntary whimper escapes, followed by an angry snarl.
Then blackness suffocates me.
I feel it shoving up my nose, sucking into my lungs like a vacuum. Pain spills through my blood like acid. I cough violently, unable to stop and hating every second that the blackness wriggles into me. A searing pain blasts through my head, making everything else seem dull.
A second later, it all ceases.
I'm trembling all over. I sigh heavily, panting for real air. I cough anyways, spitting up black blood and making myself shudder harder.
What the hell just happened to me?!
I slowly stand, my eyes sliding over to the mirror out of involuntary habit.
What I see makes me take several steps back, crashing into a table and making soething crash to the floor and shatter. I ignore it.
I blink and look again. Surely it wasn't real. It couldn't have been.
But when I look again, it's the same.
My eyes are pitch black.
