Chapter 10: The Final Test
(I dream in the darkness)
(I sleep to die)
(erase the mistakes)
(erase the ashes)
Do you wonder why you hate?
Are you still too weak to survive your mistakes?
“Sweet Sacrafice” by Evanescence
Never has Josh been so nearvous in his life since his last math exam at school. He finally found something more scary than a math exam.
The room went dark, and he was ready for the final test. He was expecting the cave to be dark, like the other two times, but this time, it was so...Cold. He couldn’t explain it. One by one, a bright, blue flame appeared on the torches on the side of the cave.
“Life is the ultimate test,” said a voice in the dark. “Can you pass it?”
“Who’s there?” Demanded Josh.
Jake quickly grabbed a torch, trust it around, but saw nothing but the darkness and the other torches.
“We are scared of death because we have to face it alone...”
“You’re not making any sense!” Screamed Josh into the darkness, hoping the ‘voice’ would reply.
“Since when did life make sense?” The harsh voice questioned. “Did your life make sense?”
Josh paused, and chewed on the thought. “No...” He whispered.
What was he to do? You can’t fight what you can’t see, so how would Deluge help?
“To really test your soul, the last test, is to look into your own soul yourself,” the voice said.
Then Josh’s head began to hurt. He clutched his head, then screamed, “Stop it!”
“No. You must face your own soul- your conscience,” said the voice.
Memories flashed before Josh’s eyes. Him, depressed after the school bully punched him, making him black out...Being in the hospital after his sister died...Himself having a knife in his hand, crying, depressed, as he put it to his wrist...Then him being at the hospital, getting stitches.
“No...No...” muttered Josh over and over again, “it’s the past. It’s gone. It’s done. You hear me? It’s done, now fucking stop it! Please!”
“Do you surrender?” The voice asked.
“Surrender what?” Josh said between tears.
His head was now really thowbing.
THUMP. THUMP. THUMP.
“Are you willing to turn into a Bloodhound, forget everything that happened to you, just to forget the past? The pain? Surrender your pain, Josh, just for the price of your soul...”
THUMP. THUMP. THUMP.
Forget the past...Forget the pain...
THUMP. THUMP. THUMP.
Josh screamed as his head continue to thump.
THUMP.THUMP. THUMP
The pain...The pain, make it stop...
THUMP.THUMP.THUMP.
“I surrender!” Screamed Josh, “just make it stop! Please!”
THUMP-THUMP-THUMP-THUMP-THUMP...
“Okay. I will take all your pain and suffering away.
Josh screamed even harder, as everything went black...
THUMP-THUMP-THUM.....
The pain in his head finally stopped.
It’s the fear
Fear of the dark
It’s growing inside of me
They won,
They will come to life

EPILOGUE (Game Over)
Break through the surface.
Reach for my hand,
Let's show them that we can
Free our minds and find a way.
The world is in our hands,
This is not the end.
“See Who I Am” By Within Temptation
Sky waited impatiently by the mouth of the cave. Then, she heard something. It was Josh, wasn’t it?
It was Josh all right. He was smirking. Evilly. And did a mechanical laugh. His hair was now spiked, and had bags under his eyes. And on his left shoulder, carved into his shoulder by a knife, in Japanese writing, read “Bloodhound”.
“He’s one of them now...” Jake whispered. “He failed the test...”
His soul...It wasn’t pure. There was something missing. Without a pure soul, he cannot be a Chosen Child.
His light of hope went out. He gave into the pain. And now, he is suffering the consiquences.
But, who is the Chosen Child? We must find him/her...before it’s too late...
My wounds cry for the grave
My soul cries for deliverance
Will I be denied?
