Larissa was still unconscious when the golden mist disappeared. I sat by her and cradled her head in my lap, singing her favorite lullaby. No tears were shed, for I matured much in the last few hours, or days, or weeks. ‘Grownups don’t cry…’ I thought, but even then, I felt the sobs rising up in my throat. I gasped, just noticing the absence of Elizabeth. What terrors had Santa been doing to her?
Quickly, I cleared my throat and put that out of my mind, unaware of the growing darkness in my mind.
Playing with Larissa’s hair was so therapeutic, that I didn’t notice the edges of my vision getting cloudy. Again, I heard that hypnotizing voice, ‘Don’t you think you can do better this time?’. Finally I saw the dark clouds at the ends of my eyes, but no matter how hard I shook my head, they wouldn’t leave. They only grew.
‘You poor pitiful human, I promise happiness if you complete this task.’ The clouds grew more. All I could see was my hands braiding and unbraiding Larissa’s hair, desperately trying to stay sane. I shook my head so hard, my head began to ache. And the clouds invaded.
so i also had the weirdest dream last night in which i was in the perspective of Chase from paw patrol (my brother watches it) and it… yeah. so we’re gonna find some way to include it in my book b4 i forget!
