[PRP] A Not So Frendly Family Encounter [Sting and Barren]

[Dresdon Highsmith]

Blinded By Silence

"Awaken" the voice rang inside his head. Opening his eyes to a long forgotten sunlight. To long had he laid in pain of his own mind, thinking of nothing but the death and terror of his family. Shredded and desecrated it fell, his world, crumbled. The sun seemed to cause his head to hurt more then it has, the sour taste of pollen in the air. His mood was cold with thoughts of his family, he wished to see them. He must start from the begging, he must start with his brother, Sting. Not knowing how to find him or how to even look. He wonder east towards the rising sun, not to look back until he finds his brother.

This can't be happening. This could never be. This isn't real. I am not real.

It was thoughts like these that had stalked his shattered mind as he fled his swamp. Bleeding and panicked, he had ran on forever so it seemed, all while his world crumbled and peeled away like the bark on a rotting tree. Underneath, a truth revealed. Or was it? How could he even know? This was his swamp, there was no other.

But it was that other that had shaken him from his nightmares that night. Something was happening. Someone was looking for him. His mother to finish what she started? His father, risen from the dead to seek revenge? He didn't know which was worse. Fear had The Salt In Your Wounds shaking like a little filly. His white eyes so wide it hurt. His breath rattling in his broken throat, the buck began to scream. A terrified, blood curdling sound. And it was in the echo of that scream that he heard the other speak.

Run.

And so he did. The orb of the sun staring at him like the eyes of his mother, Sting fled once more, running away from the light with so much fear in his heart it could kill him.
