Cold. Chilled. She felt like she lay within a blanket of ice – her body ached form the sharp chill that pervaded her body. Her senses seemed dimmed; her hearing muffled, a scentless white enveloping her, her eyelids heavy. Heavy as stone. Heavy as the marble lids of sarcophagi that pressed down on their death filled cavities for centuries, compressing the air and trapping the decay.
A shiver coursed through her as the overwhelming sense of weight spread through her, across her, burying her. Out of the dull weight a point of pain made itself known as fiercely as a ray of light in darkened room. It stang like lemon juice on a paper cut and ached with a muted sense of itchiness that irritated the mind as much as the skin.
She felt weak. Not completely appear of her body, of her limbs that seemed so far, so distant from herself. She lurched through the inky blackness of her thoughts shedding ideas of whirlpools and waves that threatened to overtake her, diving through the blurred and hazy images in the hope of surfacing at some recognisable point. Some lifeline to hold onto, to drag her back from the endless darkness and stifled pain she was trapped in.
Her mind played tricks on her calling out to her, whispering her name around corners of her mind, through walls of her consciousness, leading her further down the rabbit hole to where sanity and insanity blurred, their colours bleeding into each other.
Blood. The word sailed past her internal eyes and an image came rushing to her. Her hand coated in a dark liquid, thick and sticky like syrup. Her fingers dripping with the wine coloured substance that caught the light from a nearby streetlamp twinkling with a sense of perverse pleasure. Sketchy memories assaulted her, vague thoughts she couldn't quite remember thinking till the realisation struck her and the name of the thick, captivating substance poured from her minds lips into the black abyss. Blood. Her blood. And with a startling clarity the images of that night which had been only an instant, a moment, an eternity ago came flooding back in a torrent of fear, pain and love. His blue eyes shining out of the darkness, being swept along with the torrent and with a gasp his name escaped past her lips to call soundlessly across the chasm.
A white horizon appeared in the midst of the darkness and grew, spreading across the black like a sunrise revealing a hazy world of grey, where shadows moved across her vision, blurred and indistinct. Hen the world disappeared for a moment to be replaced once again by the darkness till at last the white world faded into view. The shadow above her shimmered into place and his blue eyes gazed down onto her, into her and she felt at peace.
Her name poured from his lips caressing her as gently as his fingers on her cheek, as his teary smile on her soul. And with a smile she felt but didn't make she left the land of white to sleep, calm and secure in the knowledge that his blue eyes were still twinkling and that therefore, all must be well.
