Ryan's Downfall: The Story – Chapter Two

I am here again

The reason I do not know

I look around me

I see Ryan here but why?

I looked all around me. I was here once again. The Dark Ocean. I walked on the sandy beach. In front of me the waves of the Dark Ocean pounded furiously. My mind must have been more disturbed than I thought.

I was dreaming. I had laid my head on my pillow shortly before this occurred. So this is a dream. It had to be one.

Still I could not help thinking that the Dark Ocean had summoned mentally to this place. I thought about Ryan and his drawing. There was no doubt in my mind that it was the Dark Ocean that he drew. I sat down on the sand. I wonder about him. Is Ryan fighting it? Or is he succumbing to it? And what would happen to him if he were?

My answer was close by. I saw Ryan there by the shore looking down into the water. The wind was blowing against his hair. I stood up and walked to him. He did not move.

"Ryan?" I said. He did not respond to me. He must be more focused than I thought. But what in the waters is Ryan so focused on?

I looked down into the waters. The waters were pounding madly like a storm was brewing inside it. Ryan kneeled down putting his hands onto the sand. I tried to focus more into the waters.

A shape came into my mind. A feeling of evil and power came into me. I concentrated on the shape. It soon formed into the shape of a bracelet.

A bracelet? It was a black bracelet actually. It looked like a black ring but bigger. It glowed now, being filled with dark power. I looked away. I did not want to succumb to its power.

But Ryan was still looking. I could not help staring at him. Then the bracelet went out of the waters. Ryan stood up. The bracelet hovered in the air. He then stretched out his right hand. The black bracelet went straight to his hand-

"NO RYAN! STAY AWAY FROM IT! IT'S EVIL!" I yelled. I tried to push him away but instead of pushing him, I went through him.

This was getting too weird. I got up out of the sand only to gasp when I saw the bracelet in his hand. His body glowed with the same dark power. He smiled.

"Ryan! Take it off! It has dark power in it!" I said in a loud voice. But he did not appear to have heard me.

Ryan felt the bracelet with his other hand. He did not stop smiling. I wished he would stop it. Then he walked away from the ocean and vanished.

I was bewildered. I ran to the spot where I last saw him. I looked all around.

"Ryan?" I said in a low voice. It was useless. He was gone.

The wind had picked up and I felt the dark powers rising in me once again. I had to get out. So I ran and I ran and I ran-

I then woke up. I felt sweat coming out of me. I wiped my face. I got my writing binder and I wrote another poem.

The Dark Ocean had me

I saw Ryan by the shore

A bracelet glowing dark

Got Ryan in his right hand.

I read the poem. I knew the truth now. Ryan could not have heard me because he wasn't really in my dream. The Dark Ocean caused me to witness an event that happened earlier. I wasn't there so Ryan of course couldn't have respond to me.

The bracelet. Was it real? Did he really have it? A bad feeling went down my back. I could not think about it right now. I decided to write down about my dream before I would forget it. I had two things to think about for tomorrow: Ryan and his connection with the Dark Ocean and the black bracelet. I went back to bed, praying that the Dark Ocean would not get me again that night.
