Being blind, I know what it's like not having one of your key senses. But this? This is madness.

About the same time that I realized I wasn't with the group anymore, I also realized that I could not only not see, but I also couldn't hear, smell, taste, or feel anything.

So now I am sitting here in the dark, trying not to panic.

I'm panicking.

I thrash my arms around trying to find my bearings as best I can. I can't feel anything, no walls, no furniture. Nothing.

I try to scream until my throat feels raw, but I can't even hear that.

But then something really weird happens.

I can see.

What I see terrifies me. I'm back in my home, after my mom died. Her broken body lays in the middle of the family room floor, a puddle of blood pooling around her head and torso.

"It hurts, Kaishi."

"Who said that?" I demand, even though I know exactly where that voice came from.

"Help me," my mother's corpse moans.

"Stop. You aren't real," I command, keeping my voice even.

"Oh, you're no fun Kai," another voice breaks in, seemingly from the ceiling of my childhood home.

"Kyle, you need to stop this. This isn't like you," I say, looking around my old home for anyplace he could be hiding.

"No, it isn't like me at all, is it? Normally I'm a sniveling, cowardly little bitch, right?" Kyle says, still out of sight. "Well, I've changed."

I whip around. A thin handsome boy sits sprawled out on my couch, laying on his side with his head resting on his hand. I assume he must be Kyle. Even though I've never seen him with my own eyes, it only makes sense that he would appear here. Judging by the athletic, tactical look to his clothing, I guess he wears the uniform given to him by Mr. A, a black combat suit that clings to his slender physique, as well as a matching hooded shawl. He looks pale, almost deathly so, as if his skin were made of alabaster stone.

"Kyle, this isn't you."

"Oh, I know it's not. You could say I'm under 'new management'."

Kyle stands. I realize his almond-shaped eyes faintly glow a reddish color and his wavy brown hair and clothing blow around, as if caught in some kind of ghostly wind or like he was floating underwater.

"Why are you doing this?" I demand.

Kyle breaks into a sinister grin, his delicate lips curving up in a way that is really terrifying.

"Do you believe in possession, Kai? It's really a liberating experience. Well, for the demon at least. I'm sure Kyle is enjoying it too though, don't worry."

"Leave Kyle alone, demon!"

"You're a man of many fears Kaishi, but unfortunately for me, you're also great at suppressing them. Maybe we should delve a little deeper into your mind, shall we?"

Kyle's red eyes glow with intensity and my vision fades to black again. I'm hit with a sudden pang of nausea. I try to walk forward, but I smack into a wall. Shit. I turn around and walk less than a foot before kicking another wall. I'm in a box, trapped and unable to see. Perfect...

And now we see Kyle's fate. Kaishi shows very great self control and willpower by breaking free from Kyle's spell for even a few minutes, and I felt that was very characteristic of our blind Asian friend. So if you guys liked this chapter, review and follow! I love reading your comments and it really is a morale boost to keep writing.

On a side note, I should be posting the Zombie Apocalypse sequel some point next week, which also means... Follow Me Down is coming to a close! How will it end? Will Kyle ever come back from the void? Will our heroes break from their fear visions? Will Emma and Liam ever get together?!

Thanks for reading and God bless!
