108 Choke (1/2)
”Seems like you hear that a lot,” Ryder chuckled.
”No, I tell myself that a lot,” Regan chuckled, ”I've grown to adjust.”
”In that case then nevermind,” Ryder smirked.
Regan grinned and continued to eat. She had finished two pancakes when she set down her fork and knife and turned to Ryder.
”Why is Antonin hiding? He's obviously interacting with me so why is he going in and out like that?” Regan asked as she licked her finger.
Ryder froze for a moment before grinning, ”Let's just say, he's on lockdown.”
”Lockdown? What is this? Some attack going on in your mind?” Regan teased.
”Hmm, something like that. He's also annoying me right now since he keeps on going something I don't like so I shut him down a bit,” Ryder smugly smiled.
Regan chuckled, noticing his attempt to flex his power over their body, ”As he did to you before?”
”Wow… you did not need to bring that up….” Ryder fake sobbed, ”now I'm hurt..”
”Oh please,” Regan smirked, leaning over the table and poking her finger into his chest, ”with an ego of your size, I don't think anything can get through it.” She leaned back and began her next pancake.
”... What did I even do to deserve all of this bashing…” Ryder smirked, ”maybe I'm just too fine.”
”I think I just threw up in my mouth,”
”Ok then… geez I see someone's not a fan,”
”I don't think there are any fans, to be honest…”
Ryder leaned in and poking his finger on her plate again, swiping some whipped cream onto his finger and licking it off immediately. ”You just haven't met them yet.”
”Not that they're non-existent?”
”Nope, their as real as me finishing your pancake if u don't stop them retorts,”
”Hmm ok,”
They locked eyes and there was an exchange of laughs that almost brought Regan to choke.
”Pfft- you good?” Ryder cocked his head, rushing to Regan's side to pat her back.
”*cough* you- *cough* would like me to say that I'm not right?” Regan growled, baring the fangs she wished she had at Ryder.
He simply shrugged, to which she rolled her eyes.
He patted her back again as his eyes searched the room for something to help Regan. He stood up and went to his cart to pick up tissues then came back to her and extended his hand for her to grab the tissue.
”Here you go… be careful,” Ryder muttered as he continued to pat her back.
”*cough* I-I wanted to d-do it myself *cough*” Regan huffed, her hand reaching up to take it from him. A moment before their hand touched, her head buzzed and a loud ringing throbbed in her head, muting her hearing. Her eyes widened when she realized the words that came out of her mouth. She shivered.
”Regan?” Ryder muttered, inching closer to her.
”AHHHHHHHH!!!” Regan screamed again, her voice getting louder as she held onto her ears tightly.
”REGAN! Are you ok?!” Ryder called out, grabbing her by the shoulder. She was trembling.
”AHHHHHHHHH!!!!” Regan screeched as she began to hit her ears with her hand, an attempt to silence the ringing in her head. It was a futile attempt, she could still hear the voice.
”REGAN! ARE YOU OK?!” Ryder began to shake her, ”HELLO?! LOOK AT ME!”
”N-no…” Regan muttered, tears running down her cheeks and she began to rock forward and backward. ”Get away… g-go away…” she begged, her hands clawing at her ears, leaving scratches on them. ”D-don't come here…”
Her body began numbing and her vision blurred, tears continuously running down her cheeks. ”AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!” she yelled again, her fingers digging into her skin as she tried to get the voice out of her head.
'No I w-as s-up-pp-o-o-sed to ki-ill h-h-er m-yse-lf,' the voice muttered in an eerie sing songy voice as it rocked on its heels. The shadow loomed over her, a loaded gun in one hand and a coffee creamer in its left. It bent down and peered down at Regan, its head cocked to one side.
A long smile grew on its face, crawling up from its lips to its ears. It blew a hot breath that brushed against Regan's face. Its breath stung her eyes, she scratched her face.
