It was almost pitch-black and I almost couldn’t see anything except for the small flickering candle in one cell. Like a moth drawn to the flame, I made my way to the cell I knew the prisoner was held. He held the candle with his hand, the wax melting on his hand. It must have stung but he showed no sign that he was in pain.

“She’s sick,” he whispered to me, his eyes focused on the cell next to him. He looked at me, the fire brightening his brown eyes and making his eyes look like they were burning. “She’s dying. She needs medical attention. What kind of sick, sick people are you to dangle an already dying girl in the pits of hell?”

His tone was accusatory and he moved the candle in front of my face, grabbing a hold of my shirt. The flame of the candle felt hot against my face. “If she dies, even if it’s because of cancer eating at her body, it’s still on you. Her blood is still on you. Remember that.”

The scene suddenly morphed into a different one. It wasn’t dark anymore but it was insanely cold, the kind of cold that leaves goosebumps on your skin and made you shiver. The type of cold that froze you within your heart and not because of chilly air. The place was damp and reeked of rotten flesh but it wasn’t the smell that bothered me. There were bodies everywhere.

And in the middle stood the same boy that talked to me in the cell, kneeling in front of a dead girl. He looked up at me, his eyes black and glassy, no longer burning because of the flame but because of cold rage. “You killed her.”

His voice echoed around the walls of the room, bouncing and rebounding, getting louder and louder each time. I backed away but tripped on something. He carried the girl in his arms, his eyes looked bloodshot and dead. “You promised you’d save us; that you would free us from this prison but look around you. This is what you’ve caused!”

I jumped when he knelt in front of me, the girl turning face up, looking at me with glassy, dead eyes. I was hyperventilating at the sight and then it was as if I was hallucinating. She moved her hand slowly, raising it to point at me. When she moved, so did the rest of the deads, slowly moving and repositioning themselves, standing up and pointing at me, looking at me with dead eyes as they moved towards me, backing me against the wall and closing me in.
