Chapter 221: River can you hear me?

River POV

I click on accept and hit speaker "What the fuck are you doing?" The mans voice says. Kraizen squeezes his eyes closed.

"Who is this?" I say. No one talks again, all I can hear is heaving breathing now "Who is this?" I say again.

"He knows who it is?" The voice says. Kraizen reaches for my hand but I pull the phone away "He's asleep, it's pretty late." I say in a kinda of snoty voice.

"So you want to talk to me when I call his phone but not when I call yours." I start to shake "Who is this?" I ask again.

Kraizen grabs the phone "I told you to stop calling me!" He slurs hanging up.

"That weirdo calls you too?" I ask "Who is it?" He shrugs. "It's just some weirdo like you said. Let's go to bed." He slurs.

Who the fuck is that? Why is he calling both of us? That was the weirdest ten minutes of my life. What the fuck is going on?

Crash and Mia are in Chailor and Lincoln's living room bed next to mine. Carter is on the air mattress on the other side of mine.

"Where are you sleeping?" I ask Kraizen.

"With Carter or on the couch in the hallway." He says laughing. I shake my head. I pat on the bed "I can't sleep alone and it's big enough for both of us." He looks at the bed and then he looks around the room. He puts his finger up then he disappears around the corner to the hallway.

I lay down and get under my blanket. He comes back in blue checkered pajama pants, kinda like the matching ones we have and a plain black t-shirt. He laughs as he dives in the bed, saying "Shhhh!" As loud as he can. I laugh smacking him.

He finally gets settled in, he lays on his side looking at me. We both laugh at each other.

"Goodnight you nerd." I say pushing his head away.

"Goodnight Blondie" he says yawning.

Lucky POV

Around five I get up to get Carter, Pickle got up after a mild- ish nightmare saying his chest really hurts.

I'm glad it was me in there and not her cause he hit me hard when he was flinging around the bed.

I'm just standing there looking down at River sleeping, she looks so peaceful but the thing I want to know is, why is Kraizen the one who's in the bed with her? It's a huge bed and they're not touching or anything but It hits my jealously button hard and I want to punch him. He likes her and I'm not okay with this at all.

I know it's not a relationship like ours at least for her it's not but I've seen how he looks at her. He's a good kid and I know he's only wanting to fit in, he's told me before he doesn't really have friends. She's a enchantress though, she's can't help it she just has this pull. It will be good for him to have her as a friend as long as that's all he's after. I look at her again for a minute then I head back to her room to be there for my brother.

I come in and closes the door "How you doing brother?" I ask Pickle when he looks up at me. I give him a water bottle. "Drink a little."

He nods but doesn't speak, he has tears in his eyes.

"Okay I'm going to give you some meds they will help with the pain. If you can't get back to sleep let me know." He nods as Carter gives him the shot. "Is she okay?" He asks still looking at me.

I nod and he laughs "What?" I say looking at him.

"That look on your face says something different so I'll ask you again brother, Is she okay?"

I laugh forgetting even in this state of mind he can read me like a book. He's laid down again and his eyes are getting heavy. I smile at him "Pickle she's fine, I just needed to see her I guess" he nods as his eyes close and don't reopen.

I lay back next to him, fixing his pillow for him to rest against. I have to get my jealously in check or I'm not going to be able to be with her. I think about her as I close my eyes.

River POV

I sit up breathing heavy and shaking. I jump as a hand touches my arm "Don't touch me" I say almost jumping into the bed next to me. Where am I? I'm home but not in my room. Why is it so dark.

"River?" I hear a voice say and I jump. It's too dark, I don't like the dark, am I still asleep?

I start breathing heavier, why is it so dark? I can't breath. I can feel someone behind me, I shake harder.

I scream as a hand touches me again. It's him I'm trapped here. He's touching me and he has me trapped in the darkness! I can't breath. I can't feel Pickle or hear him breathing. I can feel a warm breath on me and hear the echo of Stan's voice in my head telling me I'm his forever.

"River can you hear me?" I hear a voice far away say but It's not Pickle or Lucky.

I feel arms wrap around me and I scream. They tighten around me "No please! No more please just let me die."

"River" The voice says again a little shaky this time.

"Please don't hurt me anymore" I'm curled in a ball knees to my chest now. "This isn't real, your dead and I lived." I say not sure if it's out loud or in my head.

"Shit River! Fuck why is it so dark? She can't be in the dark." A voice yells. I feel more hands on me.

I can see now. It's a low light but I can see now.  I take a deep breath. It's getting confusing, I'm not sure what's real and what's not. They keep telling me that this world isn't real. So if this isn't real then what are they doing to me in the real world.

"River sweetie, it's Carter can you hear me?"

"Carter?" I say "No please!" I say shaking my head "Your not real, he's hurting me and that's why I'm back here."

I feel a hand on my shoulder and jump.

"River it's Kraizen, can you feel my hand on your shoulder" he asks.

"I'm going to get Lucky or Chailor." A small female voice says.

"Just give her a minute." Carter says looking at me.

I shake my head "No this isn't real. He'll hurt them if they come back. I don't want to go back to him please. Just let me stay dead so I can be here with my boys, please just leave me. I can't wake up to him hurting me again please."
