Chapter two


i ripped the paper open. She took the time to address them all and seal each one with a soft kiss. I scanned the lined paper, though hard to see the black ink then stood out with each passing second.

I can hear you screaming again. I had them build another house over the old one but leave the hole open for my letters. Each night i can hear you scream but tonight it was horrible. What keeps happening to you down there? are there bugs? or mice? i hope your still alive, some nights i bring down my blankets and pillow and sleep next to the hole and play some music and you stop screaming and its down to a soft whimper. The other night i thought about jumping in to find you but when i shine the light down there no bottom coudl be found, but you sound so close. Today is our 21st mon-aversary. Maybe by the 25 you can join me. Id really love it if you did, if i woke up on day and you where laying outside the hole waiting for me or even next to me, or making scrambled eggs and toast for the morning as you always did.

I can only wish so hard. It seems your screaming has stopped and i have to sleep.

ill write soon. Sleep well, dont let whats scaring you beat you, your stonger then that.

I love you.

The letter ended as tears whelled in my eyes. i was about to get up and go see what that damned lady wanted. what was more inmportant than reading her letters, her thoughts, knowing how she felt, it made me stronger and yet that woman. Curiosity killed me i guess.

I stood up but before i knew it she was at me, holding my body tight to hers and before i knew i was flying back to the haze and as i entered my heard wanted to implode and my ears rang with...silence.

"w..what the hell is this"i thought as i fought my way back out of the haze. I fell on the floor and caught my breath.

"its the silence that surrounds you"she said. The reason people can hear you but you cant hear anything that comes from that light. the reason if you spoke out loud nothing would come out.

"you lie, nothing can stop sound unless someone is turning it off"i snapped as i opened up my mouth to yell for her, knowing she could hear me screaming but nothing did come out. WHAT THE HELL!

"see i told you"she grinned as she tossed her hand at me and the darkness pulled me back to her. "now think"she said as she pulled me back into the darkness pressing her lips to mine and her body closer.
