Dark Veil (Roleplay)

I sink into my seat near the pool as I listen to my music blast into my ears from my big black headphones. Kicking up my feet and propping them up on a near by chair, I smirk at the sight of the others in the pool splashing around like little children having fun. I take out a lolly pop and snack on it, watching the others have their fun, before turning away to daydream and be at peace.
 
I reach the other side, and hold on to the edge, watching Cindra do the swim of shame. I see Raphael and Misa come into the pool area. I respond to Raphael, saying, "Well, we fought off a bunch of monsters with pinecones, and Cindra and I almost died. That pretty much sums up yesterday." I say, laughing at the pinecone part.
 
"OK," I say, and I realize that I had nearly lost my voice. It felt so much like a hangover, but so different. I nearly fall over, and I decide to go back to the Brute room just to rest. However, I have another nightmare...

I finally reach the end, gasping, and grip the edge. "Swimming...is...tiring!" I pant.
 
It seems no one heard me, so I forced myself to speak a little louder. "Um, does anyone know how long I was unconcious for?"

I was unconcious for over 14 hours then? I think to myself.
"Okay, thanks..." I murmur, thinking to myself that i probably held people back as they had to take me back inside the bus. This made me feel really abd, and I walked over to the nearest bench and just slumped down in it, not paying attention to anything else.

I start to shiver. "I'm getting a b-bit cold. I'm going to get out..." I climb the pool ladder and take a towel from a rack, then wrap myself up and sit in a chair, still shivering.
 
In my dream, I see a reenactment of the death of my 6 other colleagues before this all happened, only more haunting. Every death that happens, a heart-wrenching scream could be heard, and unlike last time, I couldn't move at all. My leg suddenly starts to move, as if I were…controlled…

I flash back into reality, and a puppeteer witch has me walking forcibly out of the room. I can't get out of it. And there's only one thing somebody like this would ever control me for. However, she has total control of every part of me, and I can't seem to break away. I cry for help, but then she closes it shut.
 
I climb up out of the pool, and sit on the pool chair next to Cindra. "Are you ok?" I ask, putting my arm around her to warm her up.
 
"I'm a failure... I just hold everyone back, people have to help me... " I start, and tears begin to fall down my cheeks. "I was the one that passed out from fatigue, I have the least energy, I made stupid risks... I'm so bad..."
 
I flush slightly. "I'm fine. Just cold."
I look towards the building. "What do you think Raphael is doing?" I mutter. "Something doesn't seem right..."
 
"Oh Misa...!" I hugged her, her cold tears sliding down her cheeks and onto my shoulders. "You're not definitely not bad. You're an amazing mage."
