Chapter 6: In This White Wave, I Am Sinking, In This Silence
Marco sobbed into the shoulder of the person who came to comfort him. In some foggy corner of his mind, he knew it was Jake, and he didn't care. He clung tightly to him, knowing that the awful images that plagued his mind would come back twice as strong, but Jake made them go away, even if it was just for a little while. Marco's sobs subsided, but he still clung to Jake.
"You all right, Marco?"
Marco shook his head, wiped his eyes and looked Jake in the eyes, "It was awful. Mom, she was..." he bit back a sob as tears threatened to fall again.
"You don't have to tell me, Marco. But if you ever feel like it, you can hunt me down and talk to me, okay?"
"Yeah." Then they heard a scream of pain, and rage.
"That sounded like Rachel."
"Let's go see who she's trying to kill now." They, both reluctant to move of their strangely comfortable position they were in, got up and walked into the hall.
They spotted a stairway at the end of the hall and walked towards it, the screams getting louder. They were halfway down the stairs when they saw the scene.
