15 part 2

 

"Cassie..." I whisper into her hair, the smile on my face growing bigger. I feel her shift her body, and next thing I know, she is facing me. Her brown eyes gaze into my blue ones, her pale skin glistening in the sunlight. Her eyes are full of wonder and then happiness as she realizes who she is staring at.

Cassie takes my face in her hands and brings her lips to mine. I have been longing this moment since our last kiss. As it lasted, it felt like we were the only two left. Just me and her. Alone. Her delicate fingers run through my hair, tugging slightly. 

It felt like the world had spun off its axis, until she pulled away. My heart shatters once she stops. I look into her deep brown eyes once more before her and the lads get up and run towards the lake. I quickly smile and run after them. Kyle, Woody, Will, and Cassie all jump in, but don't come up. I stand at the water's edge, scared, and unable to think. I stare into the water noticing it is black, with small stars peering up at me, just like a watery galaxy.

Then, my eyes catch a few bubbles rising towards the surface. I sigh, realived, but it is quickly torn away from me as I see all their bodies drift up to the surface of the liquid galaxy, limp, and lifeless. I let out a loud yell, tears pouring from my eyes, and down my cheeks.

Why does this always have to happen to me?!

Not thinking, I jump in with their dead bodies. Their bodies form a circle around me, and I start spinning in the milky way water, eyes shifting from one body to another. 

This can't be happening....This just cannot be happening.

I shift over to Cassie's body and lift her head up by her hair, but scream, dropping her face back in the water. She was faceless....I look at the others...they are all faceless. I swim back and away from them, starting to hyperventilating.

No...this just...this just can't be happening.

I look up from the water to see Cassie's faceless...well...face. She holds a cold, wet gun to my forehead.

"We must take a life to save a life..." I hear her voice in the distance. I freeze, chills rolling up and down my spine. I shake my head at her.

"Cassie...Cassie, babe, please don't," I grab the nose of the gun with one hand and stroke her wet cheek with the free hand, "Please...please don't pull the trigger. Listen...listen I love you, honey, please don't." Tears start to blur everything in sight. I bite my lip as I stare at her expressionless face, "Please, baby..." I watch her finger tighten on the trigger. A sigh escapes my lips, and I close my eyes, "Fine. Just let me say one thing...I love you, and I always have. Goodbye..." Next thing that came was the sound of the gun and the feeling of a cold bullet going straight through my skull.

My eyes shoot open and I notice that I am running in the dark hallways of the insane asylum once more. I look behind me to see the flames chasing after me. I turn my head looking straight ahead once more.

It was all a dream.

They were trying to show me some thing. Kyle and Woody. Both of them were sending me a message. I sigh escapes me lips as I make it into an empty elevator shaft. I press the button, closing the doors, and protecting myself from the flames.

I know what I must do.
