it's the parasite eve
got a feeling in your stomach
cause you know that it's coming for ya
I can hear tapping.
I thought I heard it farther away, but it's closer now. At first I don't look up because I'm not sure if I can handle what sort of demons have found me here. I've already jumped at nearly every shadow (even my own). I don't trust this place and I don't think it likes me very much. It's nothing like the sea whose tides welcome me at the shores of Denocte or the flowers of Delumine that seem to smile when I go over to say hi to them.
No, this place is much, much worse. It's an undead being that's swallowed me and everything whole. I just want to get out.
Then I hear her voice and that's what makes me finally look up. My cheeks are wet from tears and there are a few drops that have fallen down to the ashes. I do not know who this is and, at first, I wonder if she's a ghost (or worse, a demon) that lives here. From the way she taps her horn, she must be real, right?
"I'm lost," I say, my voice nothing but a whisper. My throat is too sore and I have barely any energy left. "My mom and I were separated." All I can think about is how nice it would be to curl up - just me, Momma and Bram, by the fireplace in the castle and just drift off to sleep. My everything is so, so tired. I just want to sleep and lose myself to sweeter dreams instead of living nightmares.
"H-have you seen someone that looks like me at all? Older? With fire, maybe? Or a black wolf?" I ask, speaking a little louder this time as I start to hope. I hope there's a chance that someone has seen Momma or Bram so that maybe there's a chance I can find them again.
I could go home.
"Speaking."
