JORDAN
I can't really explain it, I guess it's just like looking through someone else's eyes, only darker and full of hate, and there's nothing I can do about it, my body moved by its own accord slowly walking towards Max and watched as blood drained away from his face, his arms flailing around trying to find something to hold to whilst gasping for breath. I raised my arm and quickly lowered it causing him to crash down to the floor at an alarming speed, his body thumped against the wooden floorboards and was unconscious. I felt pleased, but they weren't my thoughts none of this was me. I turned to Dylan who now had black veins surfacing on his face, his eyes widened with pain and choking.
"Stop! Stop!" I screamed, my voice had bellowed out but my body had stayed out of control "please just stop!" I lowered Dylan so I was face to face with him and peered into his eyes, I think he understood that I was still conscious; that this wasn't me by the way he just looked at me. I raised my hand again to strike a finishing blow, but I couldn't lower my hand, it was almost as if as force was working against it. I craned my neck around to see Sarah standing in the doorway with her arm outstretched towards me.
"Now Max!" she shouted, I was tackled from behind and fell to the floor face first, Max's body weight was now pressed against my back, my body attempted to fight back but could only effect things in eye-shot. "Got him?" she asked as she stepped closer.
"Yup, he's not going anywhere" Max answered as he wrestled with me though he was much stronger so I couldn't do much about it.
"Just calm down Jordan" she said as she gingerly walked towards me making sure she was out of my eyes reach, I angrily hissed in response to Sarah's finger tips connecting with my forehead. "Calm down!" she ordered, my body flailed beneath Max's trying to break free,
"What are you doing?" I heard Dylan say as he stood up and brushed himself of "He's one of them now isn't he? Fuck we were too late" he continued as he paced back and force behind me.
"Just wait" Sarah said as she pressed onto my forehead a lot harder, a strange tingling sensation pulsated through me like a small electric shock which had the most amazing effect, I felt myself being pushed back into my own body, I was seeing normally again and could feel pain resurfacing, oh god, Max's body weight was pressed up against several bruises and cuts located on my back I let out a little wheezy cough in response to the throbbing pain.
"Jordan?" Sarah said as I heard her lean a little closer, wanting to look at my eyes but trying to avoid my sight.
"Yup" I breathlessly groaned "It's me" all three of them let out a sigh of relief and Max's grip loosened but still was led on top of me holding my arms. Then all that followed was silence, they subtly whispered behind me, it sounded like they were trying to get someone to check my eyes, the sound of footsteps came toward me in a cautiously fashion and Dylan slowly crept into my viewpoint, our eyes locked and a unconfident smile stretched over his face.
"His eyes are fine" Dylan announced as his look switched from me and the other two for information on what to do next. Everything that happened in the cave and now this, it was too much, I locked my eyes shut and began to weep.
"I-I'm so sorry I couldn't stop" I cried causing a small tear to roll down my face "I tried to stop I swear I tried but I couldn't feel my body" I continued trying to explain myself, I was so unsure of what was going to happen now, where they going to abandon me? Imprison me? Kill me?
"It's okay" Max said as he lowered his head and buried it into my neck, I felt his breath on my me as the words flowed from his mouth "you're okay" his face was now brushing against my neck, the warmth of his skin brushing against mine calmed me enough to stop crying.
"But I'm one of them now" I said resting my head in his jet-black hair "I tried to kill you all"
"That wasn't you" prompted Sarah "We know it wasn't you, and we can stop it from happening again, trust me"
"How?" I sniffled unable to look at any of them in the eye
"I can't get rid of whatever they've done to you, but I can create a wall in your mind to block it from controlling you" she said as she sat crossed legged in front of me.
"You can do that?" I asked as I raised my head in optimism
"I can" she smiled "There's honestly nothing to worry about, you're going to be fine" I couldn't help but smile back, this rollercoaster ride of good and bad things happening was exhausting I mean, can't I just get one or the other and be done with it?
"You gonna get your fat ass off of Jordan so he can breathe?" Dylan said nudging max with his foot
"He almost killed us both, I think I'm going make him enjoy my morning body odour for a little longer" he mumbled back with his head still buried in my neck"
"Oh like I don't feel bad enough about it" I said, I swear if I had the energy and I wasn't pinned to the floor I would've punched him. I tried and failed to push Max from my body – Even though I'd happily let him lay on top of me with his lips brushed up against my neck. He laughed in response to my feeble attempt and released me due to my pitifulness. I sat up and lifted up my shirt to inspect the pain, one of my previous cuts was bleeding but I didn't really care, I had worse things to worry about.
"Sarah how long do you need?" Max asked as he brushed bits of the wall off of his t-shirt
"About an hour I think" she responded whilst outstretching a hand to help me up
"Okay, so, Sarah you tend to Jordans Head, me and Dylan will go get food, and when we get back I'll get him cleaned up before we go out tonight" he said winking at me as he and Dylan stepped outside.
"Where are we going?" I asked rubbing my eyes which Sarah only cheekily smiled and looked away.
