CLOSER
It's snowing again.
Ha, I missed those old days, one of my friends told me. I giggled at her comment and asked, "Do you like snow? Why?" She gave me an astonished look, "What? You don't remember?" "Remember what?" I asked mischievously. With a smirk, she held my hand. "How I died?"
That line shook me, leaving me in terror.
I stared at the hand she held. It began to be covered with her blood. The figure began to change slowly; she jerked her head, her eyes popped out, and she coughed blood onto my face. She began to yell at me.
"IT'S YOUR FAULT...
IT'S YOUR FAULT...
YOU LET ME DIE... YOU LET ME DIE...
YOU LET HIM KILL ME..."
"NO... NO... I DIDN'T..." I told her furiously . "Listen to me, I didn't. I tried my best to find you... Save you..."
"YOU DIDN'T AND YOU WILL PAY..." Suddenly, she strangled me. The fear conquered my body. I couldn't breathe properly. I could feel my death now.
All the time, I thought my life was very peaceful. I don't have any memory of age 15. Why is it so strange? A doctor told me I had lost those memories due to something terrifying I witnessed. On that day, I was found by my foster parents. They treasure me, and I love them too. But what I loved most are my friends, the friends who gave their lives to protect me. But am I really worth that?
The friends of my life... I am really blessed. But one day, one of them was able to backstab me for revenge... So, was it worth it, that friend exchanged my life for hers?
As for love... I have one too. I gave my heart and soul to him. He loved me too. The deeper I got to know him, I began to realize I was sinking into those depths. He was loyal and beautiful, but he is not like others. He is different. The way he looks at others and me is very different. Until one day, I witnessed something horrible. In that moment, I realized it was my big mistake.
Why do I have to suffer like this?
Why is it only me?
Is it my fate?
I can't entirely blame my fate. It was my choice. The lost memories leading to this situation are my choice. I made a big mistake. I regret it...
Everyone was trying to escape from their dark paths. I tried too. But in the end, I realized it was an endless loop. That's why it's able to reach me so closely.
Still, I have to live... Why is that so? I couldn't find a proper answer.
I don't want to die...
Someone save me...
Will I save you from that?" I heard an alluring voice. The darkness reached every corner of my mind. That blurry figure came near to me. The last thing I saw was it slicing my friend's throat, then licking her blood. It then gently whispered in my ear, "YOU DON'T NEED FRIENDS. YOU NEED ME. I LOVE YOU DARLING."
