I am nothing…

Suddenly, I am something again.

Hands are pressing into me.

Crushing.

Air forces itself into me.

I am coughing.

I am dying.

A man holds me and calls me by my name.

He kisses my neck and whispers to me.

Then something hot, thick, and heavy is in my mouth.

I don’t want it, and I want to get away.

But I am so tired, and my body hurts so much…

It starts to taste good. I give in.

Nothingness returned.

The last thing I hear… “mine.”

Floating.

I remember pain, I remember death, and I remember him.

Beyond that, there is a void. I cannot describe who I am or what I am doing out here, nothing. I only know him. The one who saved me, who brought me back. Who brought me here…

Where is here?

Here is where we become.

A voice that is like mine but isn’t, stirs in the recesses of my mind. It rasps and scratches against my thoughts, frightening me.

Do not be afraid. We are one. Join me.

I don’t want anything to do with her. No thanks.

She growls low, and I see a shape take form in my head—a woman with a severe gaze and brutal features.

We must become.

Become what? It seemed like she stalks closer to me. I pull away, avoiding her.

Become one.

Nope.

Absolutely not.

Stay far the fuck away from me.
