Just confusion.
What is going on? Who is Cove? Why were we attacked? Am I really in danger?
My heart is.
Part of me wants to turn around and race back. But I can’t. He’s crazy. No, I’m crazy. I don’t even know any more. I don’t even care.
I’m so confused.
I’ve spent so long convincing myself that…what? I am crazy? I’m not? I can’t keep track any more. All I know is that whatever happened tonight, it isn’t normal. Shadowy, robed men don’t just fall from the sky and attack innocent people.
In an instant I’m transported back to before.
I’m in my room, frantically calling for help when someone, something bursts into my room. Dark shadows block the light and floor-length, hooded black cloaks obscure my monsters. One of them reaches out for me, a clawed talon attached to bare, skeletal bones where a hand should be.
The yellowed decaying clawed fingernail makes contact with my left temple, and pain unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before erupts inside my skull.
The golf cart swerves and bumps off the road. I try to right the wheel, but I can’t concentrate on anything but the pain.
Falling to my knees, I claw at my head, trying to pluck the invading sounds from my brain.I hear their voices. Their tortured promises of the suffering that’s to come.
I race across the rough terrain, the buggy moving faster than I ever thought possible. It’s completely out of control. There are flashes of eerie green light at my periphery. For a split second, I swear I see Summer’s silhouette on the roadside and I try to call out to her for help.
But the pain is becoming too much, too intense for me to bear. I slump forward over the wheel and my mouth falls open in an agonised scream.
The cart collides with the trunk of a tree, forcing the air from my lungs with a painful jolt. For a second the agony is gone. And then my lights go out.
