I was losing my mind.
Jack growled in frustration at this.
“Look, I’m glad I had you guys and all, but it’s time I accept the truth.”
Jack grunted again, and held out his clawed hand.
“What?” I muttered, raising an eyebrow at his hand.
He just grunted, stretching his hand out more, like he wanted me to take it.
“You’ll burn me,” I stated, but then sighed. No. Just another figment of my mind. Might as well see this through then. What was the worst that could happen?
I took his outstretched hand, gasping as his body exploded in a cloud of black smoke that swirled around me. I couldn’t move, and Jack still stood before me, those glowing red eyes boring into mine as the shadowy wisps blackened out everything around us.
I heard it whipping around me wildly, not just smoke, it was something solid now, and I couldn’t see my crummy room now, just darkness.
And Jack’s glowing eyes, burning with an inner fire as he held my hand tight.
His grip didn’t burn me.
I just stared at him, frozen inside the tornado of darkness, the sound reminding me of both fluttering wings and something slithering.
But I wasn’t afraid.
I was never afraid with my monsters.
