I feel myself running.
Running.
Running somewhere.
Who am I running from?
What am I running to?
Where am I running?
When will I stop running?
Will I stop running?
Why am I running?
I just run though.
Then I see my shadow in front of me, running too. I don't stop though, just watch it as I run, shocked I haven't fallen from looking at my feet and not ahead of me. My shadow gets darker as I realize a light behind me is getting closer.
Why am I running?
Will I stop running?
When will I stop running?
Where am I running?
What am I running to?
Who am I running from?
I start to slow down, not wanting to run in this black nothingness.
Black nothingness, why does that sound and look familiar? I speed back up as I wonder this new thought.
The light behind me dimming as I get farther away.
I remember seeing myself-no, not myself, Sophia Levant-standing in nothingness and leading me down a hallway. Her hair was red like mine is usually, is now since I haven't dyed it lately.
The light dimming more.
I keep running, gaining speed.
I get mad because my hair is red like my bitch of a mom's, like Jewel's. Jewel who didn't send any birthday or Christmas cards over the years she was gone, Jewel who broke my dad's heart, Jewel who gave birth to me, Jewel who gave me life and my Gift, Jewel who left me and Al. Wait Al, my little brother. Something is nagging at me about him. What's wrong with Albert?
The light dims to a fain glow behind me.
I remember his cold limp body on the ground, he was dying. Why? I need to find him! What happened!? Mister? Misty? Missy? Missy! That bitch is a Succubus-no, she's being forced to become one because of her mom. Her mom was attacking Jared-wait Jare? Me and him are changing, not just best friends anymore. What are we though? Did I call him mine?
The light vanishes, leaving me alone in the dark nothingness, running.
Jare is mine, and I think I'm his. We kissed, didn't we? What are we? He's a werewolf, I'm a human. No, I'm an oracle. Isn't that what people have been calling me? The monsters anyway. But to Jare I'm just Sophie like he's just Jared to me.
But what about Lucas?
Hell, he doesn't matter does he?
I mean me and Jared are...what are we?
Is there a we, or is it me and him?
But wait, where is he?
Where am I?
Why am I still running?
Where is everything?
Wasn't I in a factory?
