The third night was colder than usual, but I kept walking. I was kind of scared that if I stopped, I might freeze to death, but then it started raining.
It could be worse...
I kept walking until I found some sort of shelter. It wasn't warm, but it was dry.
It looked like some sort of cave, but as I went deeper, I found that there was a bit more to it, as if people had actually been there once. It took me a couple minutes to come across the screen. In front of it, there was a projector, covered in dust.
I brushed the webs away and pressed the play button.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1
'Please, no'
'I want you to say mom, dad'
'Mom, dad'
'I love you'
'I want to go home'
'Thats very nice, I want you to do it again'
'No'
'With more emotion, you can do it honey, come on'.
I pressed the pause button and stumbled away. I couldn't listen to it. For the last three weeks, I hadn't thought of him. I didn't want to imagine him as this person...
People change...
The worst thing was that it was right, people change and I'd have to deal with that. Aftet a few moments, something made me unpause the video. The screen came back on, starting where it left off.
'Yo Vass, that Brody boy just raped the common room of thr Medusa',
'Benny, Ben, I'm directing this film right now okay',
'You need to get out of here man, those fucking idiot cocks want you -'
'Will you please stop swearing. Okay, we are in the presence of a lady actress'
'Fuck you'
'Fuck me, hah, did you see what you just did there. You just turned my actress against me. Now get the fuck out of here, dissapear' he looked back to the girl. 'I'd like to apologise for my friend and his complete lack of tack, okay the guys a fucking arsehole, we're gonna win the oscar for this, okay'.
He was alive, or at least he had been when that Brody kid was around. Benny had been the voice of reason. He'd also been Vaas' bestfriend.
I turned the projector off as the tape restarted itself, I didn't want to watch it again.
I continued walking through the cave before I came to some beds. I dropped my backpack down on one of them. I'd already decided that everything was far too dark and dingy to have anyone actually living there.
I continued to walk until I came to the exit. The night was dark, much darker than it had been since I'd went in. I couldn't hear any signs of distress except the sound of rain hitting some water so I retreated back in to the safety of the cave.
I pulled out my sleeping bag and lied down on the matress. It didn't take long for me to fall asleep.
I was walking through some tree's, following the sound of an alarm. It didn't seem like one of my best ideas, but the darkness had become overwhelming, as if it was trying to grab me.
Suddenly, there was a light, and as I got closer, the alarms got deafening. All I could hear now was a constant ringing. I finally came to a clearing, but I kept to the bushes, hiding from the non-exisistent men that I thought would be patrolling the area.
The light was coming from a ruined temple, built in to a mountain. I'd started walking towards the stairs when I felt the knife peirce my chest before I was thrown to the ground.
I turned round to face my attacker, but my whole vision failed. All I could see was an outline.
'Don't try to fix it'
'I'm not' I spluttered as the blood started to fill my mouth,
'Get out of here' the voice was all I could hear as I lied down and looked up at the blurry blue sky.
I wasn't trying to fix anything...
What do you want? Revenge?
'Get out of here!' the voice repeated. I felt two hands grab me by the shoulders and pull me up. 'Leave, you don't belong here!'
'I do...' I felt my voice fail, but somehow, I was able to push my attacked away before I fell backwards on to something soft.
My eyes re-focused and I looked up at the cave ceiling.
Since I'd arrived, I hadn't felt right, I hadn't felt like I'd been home, but there were moments. Small little moments which told me I was. Little specks of home that was still there, that was still clinging, still fighting.
I'm going crazy...
You're talking to me? You already are..
Enjoy :)
