133 Pessimist stuck in the past ….

Lyla I lay sprawled on the cold floor , its chill seeping into my bones as I stared into the darkness that shrouded the room like a cloak .

I dont know how long Ive been here ; all I remember was meeting Xander in the room of my former house and then opening my eyes to this darkness .

How had I ended up here again ? How had I come back to the human world so fast ? Was this a dream ? I didnt think so , because Ive been sleeping and waking up and doing everything I would normally in real life and Xander feels so real too .

I sighed , stretching lazily , not bothering to cover up the threadbare blanket I was given .

I lay quietly , thinking about what kind of food would be served to me later tonight , my inability to do anything but just wait was making me ravenous .

Suddenly , the voice that wouldnt leave me alone filtered into my consciousness again .

Lyla .

I didnt move , I didnt react .

The voice as always would start with a low murmur that would gradually increase in volume and intensity .

It was neither male nor female , neither young nor old just a sound that seemed to come from somewhere within me .

Lyla , it said .

Then again .

Lyla .

What ? I sighed with irritation .

If someone doesnt want to answer you , you should take it as a hint and leave them alone .

Can you just leave me the fuck alone ? Please ! There was a slight pause from its end .

For a moment , I thought it had disappeared but then it came again .

I know being alone and in this void is making you irritable , so , Im going to let that slide this once .

I ignored it , turning my head slightly to the side .

The chill from the cold floor seeped into my cheek , grounding me in the emptiness I now called my existence .

Lyla , you need to listen to me , the voice insisted .

Go away , I muttered hoarsely .

No , I wont , the voice snapped .

We have to find a way out of here before its not too late .

I scoffed , my lips curling into a dry laugh .

Too late ? I repeated bitterly .

Its already too late .

Xander has me , theres nothing I can do .

There is no escape .

Dont say that ! the voice protested , sounding frustrated .

Theres always a way .

You just need to be strong .

Strong ? I let out a mirthless laugh .
