Slowly, we walk over to the place where I woke up, I didn't know that at first or else I wouldn't of came along... I feel my lungs contract quickly as soon a they expand, loud hiccuping breaths slip from my firm lips, my vision begins to darken around the edges and I feel my hand start to squeeze Aidan's. I keep squeezing and feel his bones start to bend, I don't want to feel like Peter, I want to let go. Though, I know that if I let go I couldn't handle it, I can't handle it by myself. Aidan doesn't respond to the pain, is he worried too? Or am I making him go numb, I keep squeezing his wrist, I want to stop. I can't stop.
"Damn, MJ, are you okay?" He asks glancing down at my eyes~that stand only a few inches below his~ then at his wrist, and back up to my eyes again. I just shake my head, not trusting my fragile voice. I'm really not okay, why should I pretend that I am when I am really not. "It's going to be okay, MJ, I promise you. Lucas just needs to talk with all new Campers..." He states, his voice falling off into a dark abyss. I look up into his once bright eyes and see them darken with an emotion that I know all too well, Fear.
He stands there for a few moments lost inside of fear, I want him to come out~I really do~ I don't act though, Fear starts to creep up behind my back rendering me useless as Aidan faces his own personal Fear with a bending hand. He eventually snaps back into the present as if a loud noise occurred, Fear must be done for now... I want to let go of his hand to give him some resolve, but I'm just too selfish. I do lighten my grip though, just by a little bit; enough so I am not bending his bones anymore, but so that I still have a death grip on him.
"Come on, MJ, Lucas must be waiting," he says shaking his head as if he can shake away the remains that Fear left behind. I nod my head, still too scared to trust my voice. We begin to walk closer and closer to the wooden lodge. With each step I feel my knees start to shake, my legs go numb, my breathing becomes ragged, and my vision starts to blacken. I keep walking, I can feel Fear's presence lurking beside me, waiting for me to crack...
Only a few more feet...
My knees are now shaking visibly
A few more feet...
I can't see anymore, Lucifer has found me!
Calm down freak, you are just not getting enough oxygen to your brain.
Now is not the time, Flow!
Well then, I will just leave you alone to deal with Fear and Lucifer...
FLOW! YOU JUST SAID THAT THEY WEREN'T HERE!!
Oh my gosh Rosemary, calm down I'm only kidding...
"Why hello, Aidan! What a surprise that you are here this early, I thought for sure that you wouldn't be in until 1:06... wait forgive me! Time seems to have screwed me again, oh that slut! Any who, please come in!" I hear a strange voice say, I can't quite catch his face as my vision slowly returns with the normality of my breathing and heart rate. I catch his hair as he turns around quickly~almost like a fluffy creature that I saw scurry off this morning on our way here, through the woods, of course... What did Aidan call it? Oh! A rabbit?~ it is an odd color, I don't really know how to place it... like a mix of all of the colors of hair? Aidan seems to find him and his sketchy behavior normal, for he follows 'Lucas' without a second thought. I still have a death grip on his wrist~he either doesn't seem to mind or he can't feel it...~ as he leads me through many winding tunnels and halls throughout the wooden dungeon.
We finally reach a room with its door wide open, the first that I have seem yet, only closed sealed doors that look like even a bolt of lightning could strike it down. Aidan walks in the dark green room dragging me behind him, I could very easily let go and stay behind, safety in the hallway, but I can't... I physically cannot let go, my hand is starting to hurt~I cannot even imagine how his wrist must feel~ I can't move it, I can't let go and I can't squeeze any tighter. I'm stuck... So into the room I am pulled. Glancing up through my eye lashes I see Lucas, really see him. His hair~I still have no idea how to describe it~ covers his forehead and has a little flip at the end of all of the pieces, that flip shows off his black eyes, they almost match his pupils perfectly, in the right lighting you can see that they are just a really dark navy blue.
"So you are the famous MJ?" his intimidating voice declares. His voice doesnt seem to match the insanity and mindlessness trapped inside of his dark eyes. I nod my head, i could say yes, I just dont trust him enough to know my voice. He seems familiar somehow... "Well take a seat MJ, we can settle you in soon, I hope" He states matter of factly~getting on my nerves~ with a gestering hand to the open seat in which I stand behind, only because Aidan sat down right away~Without a 2nd thought~ and I still have his wrist contained in my grasp. I stand there for a few more moments staring deep into his sketchy eyes, waiting for them to show me something specifically guarded. They don't budge, try stare back into me with the same intensity. Surprisingly I guard my secrets and just when I am about to break through his wall, the moron blinks and turns towards Aidan with his forehead crinkled.
"Thank you for the offer, but I would prefer to remain standing," I state, speaking for the first time in his presence. What a way to remember me!
"Very well, then." he says to himself, but loud enough that I can hear him and Aidan can probably too. "So, do you know your Element yet, MJ?"
"Sir, she hasn't exhibited any certain Element, I found her out in the woods protected by leaves, but she smelled like wind and sunshine..." Aidan says drowning off.
"Now, that is unusual..." Lucas mutters to himself, beginning to think. I can just see the gears in his head turning like a White Coat's. That's it! Aidan's head whips around to mine, and Lucas's snaps up. Did I say that out loud?
No, smart one, they read your mind.
SHUT IT FLOW! NO ONE ASKED YOU...
"MJ, what is it'" Aidan questions staring straight into my blue orbs of light... Blue, Green, Black... We are all different Elements, I don't know what they are I just know that I can control something that is unusual. I decide to state that to them rather than my suspicion that Lucas is a White Coat, I thought that his dark blue eyes seemed familiar, they are the ones haunting my dreams. The eyes that Fear takes hold.

Hey guys! I enjoyed writing this chapter and giving Fear a face, did you expect it? (Probably, I'm awful at suspense...) Well I hoped that everyone enjoyed this chapter! I will post the next one ASAP! (Sorry for the long waits... I have been so busy with school and marching band. But know that band is over (except for playoffs) I will be able to write more. I bet that you all needed to know that... Oh well!)
