I could see the darkness slowly receding from Evelyn's eyes.
The pressure coming out of her body was also starting to dwindle. In its place, I saw something else. Hesitation.
She was finally starting to take control of herself.
But she still needed a push.
A little push.
"I know you're aware. That something is controlling you. I didn't understand it back then, but I do now. It's trying to overwhelm you. Trying to take hold of your deepest fears and use them to control your mind. You can't let it. Not unless you want to give up on yourself."
Evelyn's breathing grew ragged, her hair falling over her face as she clutched at her shirt. Strange sounds slipped from her throat as she struggled to suppress whatever pain or voice was trying to force its way into her mind.
I couldn't see her face, but I didn't need to see her face.
The series of orbs fluctuating all over her body was enough to tell me what was happening.
Red. Purple. Red. Purple. Blue.
