Her tears made traversing in this mist incredibly difficult. Or was it something else? She felt like no matter how hard or fast she chased after Cas she was no closer to catching up to him than when she started. Quickly wiping her face as she continued, she attempted to calm herself down. She was a mess and she needed to get a grip. [break][break]
However, as time ticked forward she couldn't help but feel as though eyes were on her. A lingering sense of dread washed over her as she continued. Her footsteps slowed as she glanced behind her. Where had she come from again? Where was the way out? Turning her attention back to where she had last seen Caspurr, she sighed. She figured she might as well keep going forward since she couldn't find her way back. [break][break]
A sharp and bitter wind blew causing Serena to shiver and close her eyes. When she opened them again a loud gasp left her lips. Before her was the crumpled dead body of Caspurr. The very same as what she witnessed that fateful day. Suddenly everything around her changed and morphed into the scene of her nightmares. [break][break]
She was back in Sootopolis and Caspurr was still in a pool of his own blood. But not just him, the rest of her team her dead too. Crushed under debris, impaled on spikes, all of them on the ground lifeless. Serena heard herself before she felt her lack of breath. She clutched at her chest again as she tried her best to breathe. [break][break]
"Ser....ena...." she heard a voice call out. Whipping around she saw
DANNY HALL on the ground, coughing up blood on the ground. Her eyes widened as she stared at him. He had a hole in his chest and it was clear he was dying. She quickly rushed over to him, her hands shaking as she shook her head. What should she do?[break][break]
Right. She had to stop the bleeding right? Surely someone would come help them soon. She quickly placed her hands over his wound and added pressure.
"I-It'll be okay. Just...try to stay awake? Someone will help us..." her voice cracked at the end. Danny chuckled before coughing up more blood.
"So this is how it ends..." he said, his voice hoarse. [break][break]
"Don't say that! Just focus on staying awake." she said as tears threatened to pour down her face once more. But looking down at Danny she could see the light begin to fade from his eyes.
"I wish...." he began, his voice hoarse.
"I'd never met you. This is all your fault." Serena's body froze as she stared back at him.
"Why'd it have to be like...this..."[break][break]
Serena felt his body go limp underneath her hands and she took in a shaky breath.
"I--" she began as she stumbled backwards from him. Looking down at her hands she saw they were covered in blood and she felt a chill run down her spine.
"..so sorry..." There was a heavy pressure on Serena's chest. It was painful and unsettling and it wouldn't go away. [break][break]
She needed to get away from all of this. Forcing herself to turn away from Danny and the rest of the corpses behind her she quickly forced herself to run in a different direction. She ran as fast as she could. Even when her lungs were burning and her feet were aching she kept running. [break][break]
Before long she saw a familiar figure in the distance and suddenly the waterworks began again.
"Adi!" she cried out as she rushed towards him. She immediately embraced him and he turned around holding onto her.
"What's going on?" Adrian Malcolm asked but Serena was too busy crying to really answer. [break][break]
She felt him stiffen before awkwardly resulting to patting her back in a sad attempt to comfort her. This was familiar, this was something she knew. And somehow that brought her a small piece of comfort. Everything was so strange ever since she had walked into this mist. Were these visions of the future or the past? She had no clue, but she didn't want to deal with them anymore. [break][break]
"Sere, listen." Adrian said once her sobs had calmed down.
"You need to get out of here. It's not safe." Serena sniffed and looked up at him.
"What?" She asked, clear confusion written on her face.
"It's not--" Adrian began before his face clouded over and a deep frown formed on his features. All of a sudden his grip on her tightened and she winced.
"Ow, Adrian." she protested but the look he sent her made her stop in her tracks immediately. [break][break]
He quickly shoved her and yelled.
"GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!" stumbling backwards she hesitated for a moment. She wanted to ask him a question but the way he was acting let her know if she stayed any longer he would be furious. So she turned to leave and as she turned her back to Adrian 5 gunshots went off causing her to flinch. [break][break]
When she turned back around she saw Adrian's posture slouch and hunch over before he fell over on the ground and a pool of crimson begin to form around him.
"No." she said as she stood there with horror written all over her face. Quickly rushing over to his side she held Adrian in her arms.
"What...what happened?!" she shouted as panic settled in.
"You...gotta...leave" he said again before his body also went cold in her arms. [break][break]
"No no no no no." Serena said shaking her head.
"No no no no, you can't leave me." She said as she began rocking back and forth.
"Wh-what about mom and dad? What about Rowan Wrynn?" She no longer could keep a steady breath. Her body was trembling and all around her she began to hear whispers. Echo's of Danny's last words came back to her mind and she gripped her head that was beginning to pulse and ache.
"Stop it." she cried.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Serena screamed as hot tears streamed down her face and neck. [break][break]
She didn't want to continue. She wanted to get out of this nightmare, but how? She didn't even know where to go. Where had she even come from in the first place. She curled into a ball beside the body of her dead brother. Rocking and shaking, she was stuck here and everyone she cared about was dead. Perhaps this was punishment for all the sins she'd committed in her life. [break][break]
She was stranded here in hell, with no way out. [break][break]
