21. More regrets?

It is the beginning of a new bright day a new day in which I have not slept I have refused to sleep, I am afraid of myself, of what I might do Jax has only gotten farther and farther away and my horse is already very tired I must find a place, a place to rest even if I don't want to.

I found a small village, the people were kind, I had no money, but they gave me some lodging and fed my horse. The bed was too small for me, so I lay on the ground, I was losing my strength not to close my eyes, I fell asleep instantly.

With every step I took in this totally black water, I sank deeper and deeper and stopped walking until half of my body was completely covered with water. This whole place was also totally dark without the characteristic of the chains and now there was water, water with infinite darkness but in the lake totally dark beings were emerging, hundreds and hundreds of them and only one of them spoke.

"Have you forgotten about us already, Camus?". His voice was static and horrible to the ear, "I don't know who you are." I replied in disbelief, "Then I'll make you remember!" His loud static voice hurt my ears, so I covered my ears, but as I covered my ears I noticed the abysmal amounts of shadows coming towards me. I ran, fell and got up, but they were still there with their hollow eyes in an infinite void "Running away is useless Camus" He laughed at me everything about him is horrible "Get away from me please". I implored, "They implored you too, but you ignored them" All the shadows grabbed me by both legs and started dragging me away like that time. "YOU MADE A PROMISE, CAMUS!" He pointed at me, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry". "Sorry, won't change anything, Camus! Keep your promise." "I... I... can't..." Those words came out in a brittle voice, though this being didn't seem to have facial expressions I felt his anger, "Now I will make you suffer, now you will understand."

The shadows with an unimaginable force dragged me to the deepest part of the sea I tried to grab myself with what I had within my reach but what could I grab if there was nothing and then a desperation that I had never felt before invaded me, "NOOOOOO! LET ME GO!" they ignored my screams as always useless and while they dragged me to the deepest part of the lake I saw the shadow making a big maniacal smile and while I was drowning in the deepest part of the lake I gave a last scream.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Someone burst open the door, "Are you ok?". I saw him for a moment it was an old man from the village"It was just a nightmare, how long have I been asleep?" my whole body was sweaty, and I gave big sighs "Three days" The old man looked at me again and asked me again "Are you really ok?". I stared at him and then looked away, "No matter how I am".
