Chapter 244 : The fight for my soul

“Mi, Mi! Look at me baby! Look at me! It’s me, it’s Esmee. What’s the matter? Where is it hurting? What can I do? Mi please, talk to me!” I could barely make out Esmee’s voice shouting at me and her face was too blurry in front of mine to make out her features. All I knew was Sophie was somewhere inside of me tearing up my chest. She wasn’t dormant anymore, or just a half alive creature, she was fully aware and she was trying to kill me. However like before Esmee had come to save me. Came to try and protect me. She came as the light to break through the darkness that unfolded and twisted all around me. Came to protect everything I was and everything I could be. She came not as a nurse but nothing short of an Angel and right now she was going head to head with the devil.

“Esmee!” I yelled almost incoherently around my screaming “Esmee I’m scared!” I wailed, my tears coming hard and fast vibrating through my whole body before making their escape through my eyes.

“It all right Honey. I got you, you’re Ok. Emmet and I are here and you’re safe. No one can hurt you. We won’t let anyone or anything hurt you.” Esmee soothed even though her own voice seemed frantic before with no other option left she reached out and wrapped her arms around me tight. She rocked me side to side rhythmically in her arms like she was trying to sooth a baby. In a way I suppose that was what I was right then. I was as terrified as any baby, absolutely petrified at what I had witnessed and I was hurting to. Something had reached into my chest and dragged out my heart and there was nothing but the panic and fear that I would never be whole again. Sophie was destroying and leaving voids like black holes that could suck in the stars and the sky and my entire world and I knew I had to keep holding on to the only thing that couldn’t be budged by the blackness and the hatred and that was Esmee.

Esmee was everything that the black hole wasn’t. She was sweetness and warmth and light. She was kindness and she was hope and joy and comfort and I knew at that moment she was fighting Sophie for my Liberty. She was fighting for my very soul. The only issue was Sophie was as strong as any angel and Esmee had been known to fall before.
