Elsie wandered the sprawling field, occasionally calling out for somebody, anybody. She started to run as she became more and more frantic, and more and more alone. And then, she nearly fell off the edge. She skid to a stop as she noticed that the land suddenly stopped existing. She peered over the edge, and saw what she could only describe as the absence of anything. She quickly moved away from the edge. She needed to find a way out of there.
-
Elsie slipped into a dream. She was alone, sitting in the middle of an empty field. It was night, and the sky was clear and full of stars. "Hello?" She called, slightly confused.
-
Elsie just kept sleeping.
-
Soon, her head flopped onto his arm. She was out like a light, and didn't seem like she'd be able to wake up for a while.
-
Elsie started snoring softly.
-
"Mhm. Did. But... In safe place... With... With safe people..." She completely lost consciousness, and started snoring.
-
"I... Would've snapped... Eventually..." She mumbled.
-
Elsie shook her head. "It's not your fault. I'm just a bit of a mess right now." She said. Now that the adrenaline had worn off, her panic had obviously worn her out. She tried to keep her eyes open, but quickly failed, and drifted off to sleep.
-
She didn't respond to that.
-
"I don't want that to happen ever again. I thought I'd died."
-
Elsie just sat there in silence, looking slightly traumatized.
-
She looked at him, shaking. "H-hi."
-
It took a good three to five minutes, but eventually Elsie faded back into view. Her face was ashen pale, and she kinda looked like she was about to throw up, but she was visible again.
-
She paused, suddenly embarrassed at her massive overreaction. "Oh." She said, face bright red. At least no one could see it.
-
Elsie looked at him. "How is this ok?" She asked, still invisible and inaudible. "I'M FREAKING DEAD! I'M A HECKING GHOST!"
-
Elsie was too busy screaming at the top of her lungs to hear him.
-
Her eyes widened, and she went into full blown panic. "OH MY GOSH I'M DEAD-"
-
She looked up, suddenly feeling scared. She was still crying. "I'm right here." She said. But no one could hear her.
-
She just sobbed harder, assuming that was just him ignoring her more blatantly.
-
Elsie started to lose her weak grip on her emotions. She started phasing in and out of view, until eventually she just seemed to blink out of existence. Elsie felt cold as she walked back into the train car. She didn't know she was invisible, and plopped down into her seat, head buried in her hands as she sobbed quietly. No one would have been able to hear her.
-
"Don't worry about me." She said, fake smiling. She stood up, and started walking towards the train car. She gripped her arms, digging her fingernails in a bit.
-
"It's not your job to make me happy. Are we going to rejoin the group?"
-
"It's not your fault. I just gotta be less sensitive." She said. She looked at him and tried to smile.
-
Elsie just silently nodded, not looking up. "Yeah, ok." She eventually whispered.
-
She nodded. "Ok." She whispered.
