@Spinosaurus@FallenTrinity@DJRaVeS@Arkaotic@Doc Doctor@EmuxeIt took a moment and a wild shaking of her head before she actually paid any mind to what was happening around her. She heard yelling, she felt shaking, and then she was running. What was going on?
She thought hard, and the memories flooded her mind - it was like living two different things at the same time. She could vividly place herself where she was when she grabbed the barrette. Then, yelling? Wait, why was Sabastian on the floor? She started walking over to him and leaned over, but she didn't feel worry. She placed her hand on his shoulder, shook him a bit - she felt him start to gain consciousness - then he was upright.
Why are these feelings so... distant? Where did time go all of a sudden? She couldn't help but feel exhausted as all of a sudden, she was physically falling. There was a redness around her, and she saw everyone else falling along with her. When did she stop running?
Then, she went back to the past. It was such a surreal experience - she was hopping in and out of two different times, neither one seeming coherent. And she kept hearing this voice in the back of her mind -
You're so perfect... You're so beautiful...She remembered Jake saying something - what she heard was scattered, broken, scrambled.
"Guys--isn't--we're all--I just can't--" Everyone had this scared expression on their face. They all kept looking like a ghost to her. She looked back to Jake - she saw anger in his eyes. She glanced at Sabastian. She saw hatred. Then more shaking overtook her, and she was running.
Then, through a doorway. Free falling. Was this the present, now? She couldn't piece it together. Still, the voice persisted,
How lovely... How delicate...Then they landed. But it wasn't like before, not like when they fell into the cave. She felt an ease, a grace beneath her feet. She felt the rock and sand, deep red in color, turn into jelly. She felt the earth soften and thicken, and harden again when she had placed both feet on the ground. It was like it knew to change and prepare for her impact, loosen for her landing.
Then there was a sea of black and red among the sand and rock - moving swiftly, closer and closer to them. Then she woke up.
"Oh - oh my God!!" She shrieked - were these demons?? She saw hundreds of the disgusting beasts surround them from all sides. She heard a destruction to her left and turned to see Jake pummel several into the ground. Fear struck her, turning her pale, and time seemed to slow around her. Then the voice was back.
Careful, precious - you're too important to freeze on us. She felt a shaking, and her left arm was lifted. She looked down at her hand, watching as her fingers bent and cracked around. Suddenly, the ground directly in front of her exploded and rained rubble, and the rubble turned into a rain. The demons who ran beneath it shrieked and screeched, their flesh practically falling from their skeletons. Isabel couldn't help but watch - no matter how hard she tried to turn her head, avert her gaze, she couldn't seem to get her muscles to work for her, like they were locked in place.
"Is this hell?" Jake asked aloud. The question was almost rhetorical in tone. Isabel kept pressing against her own muscles with her mind, trying so hard to move the way she wanted to. Finally, her body was released, and she fell backwards, all of her energy that she used to move, bursting out at once, forcing her to the ground.
You understand, don't you? I couldn't just let you die. So I took control. Then, she felt a pain well up in her gut. The kind that turns your body in on itself, forces your legs close to your chest.
"Who the hell are you!?" She screamed aloud, scared beyond her wits. She felt like she was possessed - she balled up and clasped her hands behind her head, tears starting to roll from her eyes. She didn't know if she could take it anymore, this small instance was just too much. She just wanted someone to come to her rescue, but she knew that this fight - the one in her head - made her feel more alone than she had ever been.
