Chapter 9
Holy crap guys, I am so sorry for not updating in forever! School and Quotev have kept me busy! Hope you like this chapter! Oh, and this chapter is a little dark for you younger ones, so read at your own risk.
Darkness filled a room, encircling a blonde teen. She had rolled her knees to her chest, eyes wide and staring at the ground. Shadows reached out to her, causing her to scream and frightening the shadows along with herself. Her breaths were uneven as she attempted to think straight, but what she saw next caused her stomach to churn and her brain to stop working. Her body shook with sobs as she weakly and slowly stood up. The creature slowly lurked forward, its yellow eyes glowing in the dark. The light that seemed to encircle the girl dimmed as she ran in pure blindness, not knowing how she was going to get away from the creature that slowly advanced towards her.
"No, please, stay away! I don't want you to hurt her!" the blonde screeched, sprinting the fastest she ever had in her life. The ultralink symbol gave a gold/yellow-like glow around her chest, showing how alive the creature linked with her was.
A deep, murderous laughter was heard from the glowing eyes, fear racing through the body of the teen. She tripped and fell, only to roll on her back in an attempt to see who or what the creature was. Her whole body froze as she saw the all too familiar eyes staring down upon her. She crawled backwards, attempting to get away from the demon-possessed alien. Steel, silver-blue hands grabbed her ankle, pulling her into the darkness. Her screams echoed the room, only for…
Mary woke up, tears and sweat rolling down her face. Her breaths came out ragged and uneven. Liz floated in the room, her yellow eye shimmering in the dark.
"Mary are you alright? Did you have that…?" Liz started, but stopped when she saw the distant, fearful look in her companion's eyes.
"Liz… He-he's…." Mary whispered, zoned out. Liz started to panic, for she knew exactly what she meant to say.
"B-but….wh-what will we do?!" the female ultralink cried in dismay. The blonde came out of her trance, the fear and sadness in her eyes shining in the dark. She took a shaky breath, knowing that there was still a possibility nothing would come from that dream.
"Max destroyed him, remember? There's no need for us to panic, yet" she said, murmuring the last word. To her dismay, Liz heard her, but she said nothing about it. The alien didn't take her friend's words as comfort, but she knew that there was nothing that could be done.
Mary lied back down, attempting to fall asleep. The ultralink linked with her once again, leaving her alone with her thoughts in the dark. The shadows almost seemed to be alive, which caused her to constantly scan her own room. Wind howled outside, and the teen looked out the window, only for her heart to stop beating. There, flying outside her window, was a shadow that looked like Max's, but with the evil duplicate running around, she feared the worst.
"Goo'night, sweetheart," it said, chuckling darkly before her vision blurred. She blinked and rubbed her eyes, praying it was only her imagination. She heard a gust of wind shake the walls slightly, and when she looked outside, it, or rather he, was gone.
If he does come back, there'll be no stopping him. We HAVE to be ready for anything, she thought before letting silent tears roll down her face.
Eventually, after tossing and turning for what seemed like forever, the scarred little teen fell asleep, not knowing what was going to welcome her in the morning.
While she was sleeping, the darkness reached out and enclosed her. It caused her to go into a never-ending nightmare. It didn't let go until the sun rose above the horizon, shining in her window.
