Chapter VII -- Mae
The blurring recedes, and my vision and hearing clears. An ache forms in the back of my head, and somehow I know -- just KNOW -- that it's a living thing.I feel like throwing up.
Which is exactly what I do as soon as someone touches me. I feel a hand firmly holding my shoulders, dragging me to my feet. The feeling reminds me of how the Thing -- whatever is inside me -- forced me to stand. Made me scream. Made me move. My stomach churns and I spit out my breakfast all over whoever it is that grabbed me. Disgusted, they let go and I sink to my knees again. I don't have the strength to stand.
yes, you do.
I blink slowly. The ache is even stronger. I swear I thought that -- but I didn't.
I shake my head. I'm playing tricks on myself. Maybe I'm crazy.
maybe. but not because of me.
No. NONONONO. I am NOT crazy. I am NOT going to hear -- or pretend to hear -- anymore voices.
do i have to take control again? it's hard work, but i will.
The ache intensifies and starts to spread to my spine, making me go rigid.
I stand faster than I've ever moved before in my entire life.
The pain pulls back to my head.
I listen for the voice again, but -- THANK GOD -- it doesn't return.
Shaking, I look up. Some new guy is standing, holding a bow covered in puke. He glares at me, but I ignore him.
Blonde Boy shakes his head at Disgusted Archer and walks over to me. Before I can move, he picks me up.
"Let's just go already!" he shouts, gesturing for Disgusted Archer to dump his bow and help Bloody Green-Eyed Boy.
I try to struggle out of Blonde Boy's arms -- I am quite capable of standing myself, thank you very much -- but my efforts are futile. It's like the dude is made out of stone. Or diamond... Isn't that the hardest substance on earth?
Then he lifts what looks like a thousand-pound hammer, starts spinning it, and literally FLIES out of my house, busting through my roof.
Not the strangest thing that I've seen all day.
