Subject: The Chamber | |||||
| Arianna stepped into the dark chamber. Once she was across the threshold Tom closed the door behind her. It was so dark inside the chamber that she couldn't see where she was going. Then a light appeared before her, beginning as a tiny dot of light and growing into a memory playing in front of her. She saw herself, eight years old, sitting on the floor in her bedroom with a not-so-dead bird in her hands. Her parents stood behind her with horrified looks on their faces. They had seen the bird dead, but now it was chirping. They demanded an explanation. When she couldn't give one, they yelled at her. Then fire appeared between her and her parents. As Arianna watched the scene she shivered. She hadn't realized until then that the temperature in the room had dropped. The memory faded into black again and with the corner of her eye she saw another pinpoint of light. Arianna turned to see what memory would appear to her next. She saw herself looking out the window as the townspeople complained to her parents about her “witchcraft.” Arianna was filled with rage. She imagined the townspeople burning like they had planned to do to her, and a small fire appeared where the townspeople had been standing. However, the image of them was gone. All that remained was the small fire. She calmed herself down and it slowly died out. Arianna searched for another point of light, but for a while there was only darkness. When another light appeared before her the images that played out were not from a memory. It was Ry standing in front of her. He looked completely heart-broken and beaten up. Arianna felt the temperature in the room drop significantly. When she breathed she could see her breath in front of her. Then she saw Aly sitting behind Ry with a wicked smile on her face and a fire burned the image away. This time it took her much longer to calm the flames, but she was able. When she was able to control the flames another image appeared before her. Ry was lying on the ground, motionless. Arianna was kneeling beside him trying to heal him, but nothing was working. She couldn't do it. Tears were forming in her eyes, but freezing as they rolled down her cheeks. She shivered as she watched herself failing to bring him back to life. I failed him... she thought. It began snowing, slowly at first, but as it became clearer that Ry was dead, it turned into a terrible blizzard. She hadn't even realized that it was snowing until her clothing was soaked from the melting snow. Arianna shivered and ran in the direction of the door with the image still going strong behind her. She pounded her fists on the door shivering and crying. |
