Shattered Soul

Chapter Five

I looked at myself, then my hands and started backing up slowly. What have I done?
"Rheya?" Cora hesitantly approached me. "Everything's gonna be alright. You just need to cool down a bit. Ok? Everything is going to be alright..." She attempted to soothe me
But I felt as if I had electricity running through my veins. I've only felt like this once before and quite frankly I didn't like it.

I backed up, looking around me, at the people staring at me like I had two heads. It's like I could hear their thoughts ' she's a freak' they were probably saying. A freak. A freak. A freak. I shook my head trying to get rid of the voices saying this. They're not real, they're not real. I repeated to myself, over and over again but they wouldn't stop. "No" I whispered "NO" I screamed
"Rheya?" Cora looked at me shocked
It was happening again, and I couldn't do anything to control it.
"I can't...I'm sorry...I can't" I panicked this wasn't supposed to be happening again.

I turned and ran away from everyone. Getting as far away as possible. I pumped my legs faster and faster. Driving myself further away. I didn't look back, as the houses and trees blurred together as one image. I felt light almost like I could fly. It felt good, but the memory of Kies body stayed with me, that made me run even faster than I already was. I saw Cora's face flash through my head, and I started to feel tears burn my eyes. She was scared and hurt. I scared my best friend and hurt her, then left? What kind of friend am I?

It was getting dark outside and hard to see, I just kept thinking about Cora and that made the voices get louder. They got to the point where I ran into a tree. "Ouch!" I cried out. It didn't really hurt that much honestly. But I rubbed my head where I scratched it and looked at my surroundings. There were trees all over some tall some short. The taller trees hanged low, like they were sad and had no life in them. The shorter ones were so stiff and straight It made me cringe a little. I spun myself in a slow circle, trying to think where it was. A light bulb went off when it hit me that I was in the woods but the woods by the soccer fields. The soccer fields were at least 45 minutes away from school.

I calmed down a bit when I realized where I was. I sat down and picked at the leaves. The voices were quiet. I sighed. Maybe it was just my imagination again. Maybe I just was so worried that I pretended that they came back. I laughed at myself for having such a freak out but then froze. 'You thought I was gone?' It said, 'Ha pathetic little girl, I will never leave, I will always be somewhere around in your head, I will never leave' It hissed and repeated itself. I started to shake my head violently. Grabbing at my hair and screaming "NO, NO NO NO!!! GET OUT!" That only made the voices get louder. I fell to the ground crying in defeat, since they wouldn't go away. I wanted them to go away.  I started to shake this wasn't right...the voices were still there. I lifted up my shirt to check if my scars were still there. Nope nothing. Then checked my legs. And still there was nothing on them. I screamed" WHERE THE HELL ARE THEY" the voice in my head mocked me and mimicked me. " SHUT UP AND LEAVE ME ALONE" I shouted out loud to know one in particular. What was going on with me. Scars just don't disappear overnight or even in a few hours. They don't ever go away. They are proof that it happened. There was only one explanation for it and that is that he is back. He is the one who ruined my childhood. He is the one who I have nightmares about that day every night. He is the one that put these voices back in my head. The question is why?
What did I do to make him come back this time?
