Author's note: This is my first time trying to write horror and it's also my first series on here. Please let me know what you think!
I don't remember where we are.
I don't remember why we're here.
I don't remember how long we've been here.
I don't remember a damn thing.
My name is Ryan and I go by Cry. I remember that much. I'm here with Felix. I remember that too.
I also remember sparks. Blue sparks flying everywhere and screeching, but I can't remember anything else.
"Cry," Felix says to me, "are you still hanging in there?"
"Y-yeah," I mutter, "I-I'm just tired."
"Do you want to rest for a while?" Felix asks turning to me.
I shake my head, "It's ok. Let's keep going. I don't want to see them again."
I can see Felix stiffen when I just say "them." Felix is always the brave one, but he's terrified of them. I have no fucking clue what they are. They want to kill us. They have white glowing orbs for eyes and long tentacles as arms and legs. The moment they touch us we crumple in pain. We forget damn near everything once we get rid of them... They make us forget everything. They're like shadows, but darker. They don't die… Well at least not for long.
"I don't think they'll find us, we can rest for a while," Felix says, "It's ok."
"How long have we been here?" I ask.
He shakes his head, "I can't remember."
This place… This hell. Is like an endless maze. It's an endless goddamn forest. It's always dark; it always seems like night as we walk along the trees. I swear to go we're walking in fucking circles.
"We'll stay here," Felix says. He sits in a pile of dead leaves near the roots of a tree that's fallen.
"I'm fucking starving," I say collapsing into the brush.
Felix digs around in the dead wood and pulls out bugs and hands them to me, "It's fucking gross, but try to keep them down. You need to keep your strength."
I cringe and put the bugs in my mouth. If I had anything in my stomach it'd be gone. I manage to keep it down and watch as Felix downs his own.
"This is fucking disgusting," he mutters.
"Why the fuck are we here?" I ask for the millionth time.
He smirks, "Wish I could remember." We sit in silence for a moment.
"Cry, get some sleep," he says to me.
"You can sleep if you want," I reply.
"Just go to sleep," he says.
I close my eyes and drift to sleep. In my dream I had blood on my hands. Tears were running down my face and there was maniacal laughing coming at me from all angles. Blue sparks. Blue sparks everywhere. It's a nightmare, but it's not so bad. I'm already living one.
My eyes shoot open when I hear ear-splitting screams. Felix has a dark tentacle wrapped around his neck.
"Cry! Help me!" he screams in pain.
I grab a rock from the ground and throw it at the black figure holding Felix. It turns its attention to me and moves to me without letting go of Felix.
I stand in fear as it slowly creeps closer and closer to me. I can see other figures come from the trees.
"CRY!" Felix yells between his screams of pain.
I remember all the stupid times Felix and I played video games and all the times we got drunk and laughed at our own stupid jokes. I remember the times before we were here.
"HELP ME!" he screams tears running from his eyes.
Tears sting in the back of my eyes and I wrap my hand around a broken tree branch, close my eyes, and swing with all my strength.
