Day 1: The Haunt
I'm lying in my bed while being embraced by the darkness all around me. All of a sudden, my chest tighten and my eyes watered.
"Not again! Why?!" I exclaimed while holding my head with both of my hands.
"You want answers?" A voice spoke.
I close my eyes and breathe in deeply. That voice, I'm hearing that familiar voice again everytime my depression trigger.
I sat up on my bed, and my eyes darted all around my pitch black room until a figure emerge from the shadow. The figure looks like me but with a more demonic appearance.
"You again?" I growled.
"Why yes, I just couldn't leave you alone you know?" The figure chuckled.
His heavy footsteps can be heard all around the room. When he gets closer, I sprung up from my bed and grasp his shirt tightly.
"Why aren't you dead?!" I exclaimed
"You can't kill the real you!" He replied.
"I'm a christian, a son of God! Not a de-"
I was cut off and get send flying across my room towards the drawer, knocking out my breath.
"You disappoint me, what happened to you?" He stare at me with his empty eyes.
My tears start to fall from my eyes, I feel so cold and vulnerable. I just want this haunt to be over.
"I-I don't know." I stuttered.
"You're missing something inside you heart." He replied grimly.
I just look at him silently. He walk towards me and I felt one of his hand grasp on my neck before lifting me off the ground, I keep punching and kicking but the grip didn't even loosen up a bit.
I felt his breath when he brings his face closer to my right ear.
"You need me Dave, you will always need me...You are no christian!"
I felt his grip gets tighter. My face begins to turn blue.
"How far can you fall Dave? That's the question."
I felt his grasp loosen, I fell to the ground coughing and wheezing while my vision gets blurry. When I finally recovered, I look up only to see I was all alone inside my room.
"When will this nightmare end?" I said to myself with a shaky voice.
"I've change! You hear?! I'm no longer your puppet!" I cried out.
"I met friends that I can trust! I don't need you anymore!!!"
Day 2: The Friends You've Trusted
"What did you just call them after I disappeared? Friends that you trust?!" The same dark voice last night laughed darkly.
I'm just sitting on my chair, and just staring into the nothingness with wide eyes. My whole body shakes as the atmosphere around me turns cold as ice.
"It is so satisfying to see you eating your own words!" He laughed, mocking me.
"You know? Humans are terrible creatures, more terrible than demons."
I started coughing, I gripped my chest tight until blood trickles down from my mouth.
"It hurts doesn't it?"
Breathing heavily, I just ignored him
"Emotions can be a gift, but at the same time, it can also be a curse."
"Because of this emotions and this so called friendship, you have fallen weak!"
"The Dave that I know doesn't care about people, remember when your big brother, Dale beat you up?"
"If it wasn't for me, you'll be dead by now." He shakes his head and pick me up off the ground.
"Dave look at me!"
I look into his dark hollow eyes. His clawed hands are holding me by the neck.
"W-What do you want?" I said with my weak and raspy voice.
"Do you understand the problem now?!"
"Wh-What?"
"You trust people too much! You call them friends so easily and in the end, they just turn their backs on you!"
"I can sense the hatred inside you, but you keep refusing it!"
My blood boils and I punch him in the jaw.
"Because I am not that person anymore!"
My punch didn't even faze him, he just laugh loudly.
"Yes! Yes! More! Show me more of your hatred!"
I roared loudly and begin to beat him up. But with every pain he felt, he just keeps on laughing until I stop. I breathe heavily and gasp.
"That's the Dave I know! So much hate, so much anger!"
His laugh echoed inside my room while he slowly fades away from my sight. I screamed, pouring out all my anger on my furnitures, destroying everything inside my room including the precious photo of me and my father.
I stop with my rampage when suddenly...
"ARGH!!!" I hold my head with both of my hands.
"Let me ask you once again, how far can you fall?"
Final Day: Forgive Or Fall?
"Even you cannot trust your own siblings." The familiar voice spoke up and he emerged from the dark corner of my room.
"Well, pride is really blinding them." I said with a chuckle while shaking my head in disappointment. "I feel like my last name has a sickness in it."
"What will you do now?"
"What I should have done long time ago." I approached the demon.
"I remember what you've said." I chuckled darkly. "Humans are a lot worse than demons."
"Which is true!" I growled.
I grip his shirt tightly while I look deep into his dark hollowed eyes, seeing all the souls screaming for vengeance.
"How does it feel to have all that hate inside of you?" I told him. "The hate that I've felt before, the hate that I feel right now."
"Y-You?!" He stuttered.
"You and I are the same. You need me, like I need you." I said to him. "We can't live separately from each other."
I pulled him into a bear hug as I begin to consume him.
"WE ARE ONE!!!"
With the last bit of him finally been absorbed, both of our hatred combined as I finally felt whole again. I'm no longer that weak and fragile human who can be abused by anyone.
The vengeance I've yearned for so long, I am one step closer achieving it.
