Gerard's P.O.V
Lulled by the dull roar of the car, I curled up and fell back asleep.
I was running through a burnt forest, searching, but I don't know what for.
The burnt leaves and ashes started flying and swirling like a tornado was blowng through, but there was no wind. I spun around and around, trying to find a way out. And there was Mikey floating with angel wings, white as clouds. He ghosted towards me, arms outstretched, but a rusty blade in one hand.
"Come here, Gerard, I love you, I just wanna hug you, I love you, come here." he repeated but his mouth didn't move at all.
I screamed and ran when I suddenly heard the wind shrieking around me, and I heard Mikey's wings beat as he persued me. As I ran, the trees started grabbing at me and the leaves started screaming "my heart BREAKS! My heart BREAKS!" over and over.
There was a break in the trees up ahead, where I could see Frank and Elena, with more angel wings, staring after me in horro. Just as I was about to hurl myslef in Frankie's arms, a cataclysm opened up and I fell, tumbling and screaming into the flames. The last thing I saw was Mikey, Elena, and Frank standing over the gaping hole, just staring. And right before the flames washed over me, I saw Frankie grab someone's hand and pull them forward to stare down at me. Bert.
The cataclysm shut and hte flames burned everything, but they suddenly parted like the Red Sea. The heat was making my skin literally boil and burst, and my blood poured out like a faucet turned all the way up.. It seeped around and covered the dirt ground until it was ankle deep. The sound of blood sloshing made me look up, althiguh I'm shocked I could hear it at all over the fire. Two men were walking toward a platform with a hanging from it. ONe was wearing a black mask that obscured his entire face. The other man was shorter and was wearing a burnt chain mesh hood; the kind you saw medievel warriors wearing.
The masked man hooked the hooded man to the noose and dropped the platform Noose-guy was standing on. His hood fell off and I almost vomited. Frank's eyes were gouged out and his once beautiful lips looked like someone had put their cigarettes out on them. And the heat of the Flames had made his skin on his face crack and peel away from the bone.
That's right about when the masked man notcied me staring. He waltzed over in an almost graceful way. He stood about 5 feet from me and bent down to dip two fingers in the blood, only to wipe them right where his mouth should be. The blood lips smiled at me ad he removed his mask. This time I screamed rather than vomited.
My dad was grinning as big as Jack Skellington, with a murderous gleam shining in his eyes.
His face started to morph. First t Mikey, then Bert, then Frank before fianlly stopping when I stared at a reflection of myself manically. He...I... tilted my head to an unnatural angle and casually but unnervingly stepped forward to plunge a cold blade into my stomach. I fell to the ground, and the blood washed over my head untl I was drowning in it.
"Get up get up get up!!!! Wake the fuck up!!"" Frank thrashed my shoulders nd screamed at me.
I was crying hysterically and screaming so loud it hurt my own ears.
I fell, a blubbering mess, into his arms. He just pet my hair and rubbed my back until I fell into a quiet weeping.
"Shh, baby. It's okay. Nothing but a dream. It can't hurt you now."
I sniffled a couple times before I found my voice, "you're safe. That's okay. You just need to be safe and okay."
I could hear the confusion in his voice as he whispered into my hair, " do you wanna talk about it?"
I frantically shook my head, further burying my head in his warm chest. He rubbed my back in acceptance. I lifted my head and let my bleary eyes adjust to the midday sunlight shining through the car windows. "Where are we?" I croaked.
Frank paused. "We passed the Jersey border maybe 20 minutes ago. I stopped to give her a fill," he said, patting the dashboard.
We were parked on the side of some shitty gas station across from a cornfield and a field of dirt.
I pulled him by the back of his head to kiss him tenderly.
"Just promise you'll stay with me. "
