I felt myself get dragged away and chained up. I heard a voice speak to me, “Yuri, control it. Now!" The voice sounded like....Dan. It was loud, like a command yet I couldn't make a thing out, but I tried to do as instructed. I once again failed, even more so than last time.

   The pain I felt when I tried excruciating. When suddenly I heard more voices, panicked and enraged ones. After a while of trying to figure the voices out, I felt a pinch in my arm and I was processing the fact I went to sleep. I couldn't make out anything but pitch black darkness. Nothing but the darkness, a dreamless sleep.

   I eventually felt something. It was warm but eventually it went cold in some places on my body too. After some time I was able to register what was going on, I was being bathed in cleansing water and wrapped in bandages. Eventually I fell asleep once again.

   Eventually though I woke up again in my bland room. My nurse was there. “Oh! You're awake now" My nurse stated rather loudly, then again I just woke up. “Yeah I guess so" I state rather bland and tired like. “You'll have to get used to that, you know" the nurse said that weirdly. It was a sweet yet dark and sad tone with a pinch of extra joy. “But I don't want to. I don't want to have to be used to it!" I shouted extremely loud. It seems I caught my nurse off guard. “I kno-" she was about to say when I interjected, “NO YOU DON'T! You DON'T know! You DON'T know what it is LIKE!" I yelled absolutely furiously. Some of the bandages became undone from me yelling at the nurse.

   After a long pause between each other my nurse finally talked, “Let's just get you cleaned and fix the bandages. It will give you more time to rest" my nurse said really bland and in a slight pity like tone. “Alright" I said plain and simple with sadness laced here and there. She took me off my bed to fix my bandages quickly and easier.

   After a long pause of no sound but bandages being  re-wrapped, we were finally done. I was carried bridal style back onto my bed and she put the blanket over me. “Thanks" I say as I get as cozy as I can get. “You're welcome, dear" My nurse replies back in a soft voice as she finishes wrapping me in blankets and leaves the room.

   As soon as I see her go I start to doze off. I immediately give in to the exhaustion and shut my eyes. Finally feeling the dull feel of pain stinging me throughout the entire dream. The dull, sad, and boring dream of fighting and running through the darkness as everyone here chases me. Everyone is either trying to catch up to me or restrain me. Either way I kept running. Not even the “slow down" and “get back here" stopping me. Eventually though, I woke up again.
