THIS IS A HORROR CHALLENGE ENTRY.

My breath burned in my chest. I could feel it. The very thing that once gave me thoughtless sustenance is killing me. Rending my insides asunder. I can feel them melt, I can feel them turning to puddy within me.

Wheezing and gasping does me no good, yet naturally I am obligated to do so. I tried to hold my breath at first, but the pain became too great. It overwhelmed my senses like a wave. Drowning in the debilitating condition, blurry vision locks on to the figure above me.

"I wonder what you're thinking right now Able?" The voice was as cold as ice, slick and slimy as oil. Oh I knew that voice. My frazzled panicked brain tried to mash names with faces. Desperately trying to decipher the blurry vision those eyes of mine offered.

A rough scaled talon lifted my bloodied peak off the broiling ground with slight disgust, as if looking at roadkill upon the side of the road.

"Tis a shame really. You would have made a fine mate Able. If only you hadn't meddled. Why, you'd be alive right now instead of dying alone."

I could practically taste the sneer in his voice, my vision going dark, as if all the fires had been put out. A creeping cold began to settle on my toes and fingers.

Feebly I reached out. My beak and tongue moved, but for the life of me I could not hear any words come out. Instead my mind was filled with heinous laughter. Something hard struck my side, and for one blissful moment... I could no longer feel a thing.

Without warning it came rushing back, consuming me whole. Devouring my last shreds of self awareness until I was nothing but blistering white agony. Weeping in my blindness, I reached again without thought. Panic and desperation guiding my hand. And I spoke.

I want my Mom.

I want my Dad.

No one knew where I was going.

But I love them, oh God I love them

I need them.

Please someone find me. P-please... please..
