Walking back up to the boy, you could see that he was still sulking, although he had stopped shaking so at least that was good.

You crouch down to his level and start to speak.

You tough love

"Alright listen up kid, I know she was pretty harsh with you right now, but you know she's right when it comes to getting out of here. We only want to help you ascend to your final rest, or peace, or whatever it is that comes next. But in order to do that you need to cooperate with me ok?" You tell him with as a hardy of a voice you could muster.

The boy nods at what you say, but he doesn't look up at you.

You coax

"Hey you know you can trust me, right kid? Helping you is my job, and I'm sure as hell going to help you get out of this place, no matter what." You say reassuringly.

The boy looks up at you but doesn't say anything, though it seems like he's thinking about something as his eye keeps looking at different things.

"Do you want to ask me anything?"You say, hoping that he would clear his mind of any worries.

"How...How are you going to help me?"

You lie about taking him into your body

"As soon as we get done with this conversation, you'll immediately ascend up to wherever your going to be placed, so please stop worrying about everything, soon enough you'll experience total piece, or get reincarnated, however, it all works." You say with a confident face.

The boy nods his face as he seems in a much more better state than the one that Ruby had left him in.

"When can you do it?" He asks you, almost a bit impatiently.

"I need you to be content, and I need you to accept the terms that I'm about to give you. So start thinking about some happy thoughts before I ask you what I need you too O.K?"

"Yeah, yeah I can do that no problem."The boy says letting out a fake laugh, as to try to build enthusiasm about what is to happen.

"Alright then, take my hand." You order, which he follows through.

You head starts to buzz as Owen disappears from view.

You on the inside

Your mind starting to get really fucking fuzzy, as if listening to a radio station that had just gone completely static. It didn't hurt your ears though, it was just a mild annoyance as you felt dizzy and your vision getting blurry. Not wanting to fall on your face, you sat yourself down on the ground and waited for this experience to pass by.

"That was pretty anticlimactic." You hear Ruby say through the static, though you don't pay her much mind as you try to concentrate on seeing if you could communicate with, Owen.

Owen can you hear me?

The static continues, and you feel your heart race a little bit. Sitting in silence for a few seconds, you start to feel the static die down a little as you're able to hear yourself think finally.

Hello?

You hear a voice call out to you, which makes your entire body jump up a bit with how it sounds directly in your mind.

Owen is that you?

Yeah. Where am I?

Owen's voice sounded frightened which made you tense up a bit.

You lied to me

"huh?"

I CAN READ YOUR THOUGHTS ASSHOLE, YOU LIED TO ME. I'M STUCK HERE.

The sudden screaming by Owen had made your head hurt as you started to cover your ears.

LIAR, LIAR YOU'RE A LIAR I TRUSTED YOU.

As Owen's screams got louder, his voice started to change, as if turning into something demonic. Moments later, you start to feel a pain in your chest.

With each passing moment it grows stronger and stronger, and before you know it you let out a yell in pain as you fall onto your back.

"Hey!" You hear Ruby shout out to you, but your ears start to ring as you wreathe around the wooden dock in pain.

It feels like something wants to burst out of your chest, and you want nothing else more but to die and get rid of the burning sensation that was cooking your heart like a cracked egg.

Something did burst from your chest, you were sure of it. You wouldn't see it though as your vision had gone out first.

Shortly afterward your senses followed with it.
