Dark Star Survivor Chapter 193

THUD

Another thud sounded out into the empty void, disturbing the ash on the ground as the sound passed by .

THUD

THUD

The sound continued, almost rhythmic, but injected with a stubborn refusal to quit . The sound was Max, smashing his fist into the barrier that had confined him to this place .

How long had he been trapped here in this dead void? He did not remember . Days? Years? Time all seemed to blur and meld together in an indecipherable mess that got worse the longer he was here .

All Max knew was that Zoey was in danger on the other side of the barrier, and he had to get through it to help her . So no matter how long he had to smash his fists into the wall, he would never give up .

He smashed his fist into the wall again, but then realized his hand was no longer obeying him . Not even fazed, he simply switched hands and started punching the wall again, every time hitting the same spot .

The wall was already stained with his blood, his every punch splattering more across the surface until it dripped down and stained the ash below . He kept punching, ignoring the pain until his hand stopped responding, then he switched back to his other hand and kept punching some more .

He had repeated this cycle endlessly, the clothing that Zoey gifted him slowly healing the hand that was not in use while he punched the wall with the other . He barely even noticed it though, as his mind was solely focused on breaking through the wall that had trapped him here .

"-ax . . . Max… MAX!"

There it was . A voice, deep and heavy, drifting through his mind as if it came from the deepest depths of the ocean .

Max had only started to hear it since he had been trapped in this place and started working on tearing through the barrier . It seldom spoke, he did not recognize it, so he had simply ignored it . For all he knew it was a trick set upon him by this place to prevent him from leaving .

THUD

"Not a trick . If you paid attention, you'd know I've been here with you since the beginning . "

If that was true, then why had he not heard the voice before?

THUD

"Maybe you could hear me, but suppressed the thought, choosing to ignore me instead . "

Unlikely, Max could not think of a reason to ignore a voice in his head, especially if it had been there all along .

THUD

"You didn't want to know the truth . "

What truth could that be?

THUD

"Even though your mother, Naomi told you herself, you tried to block me out because remembering me brought back the memories of her death . "

Ridiculous! Max would never choose to forget anything about his mother!

THUD

"You tried to forget about me, not her . But my existence and her death are intertwined . Forgetting me, means you forget her death . "

Never! Max could never forget about her! Even the bad things!

THUD

"Then try, try to remember the moment of her death and what she told you that night!"

. . .

For the first time since he started to hit the wall, Max stopped, his arms going limp at his side . Then tears started to roll down his face as he realized that the voice was right .

He could not remember his mother's death .

That moment in his memories was shrouded in fog, suppressed and forgotten, just like the voice had said . He loved his mother, and had promised himself never to forget a single moment of her memory after she had passed .
