Hidden Identities

Chapter 5

Chapter 5 

The alarm clock woke me up at 6 so I could take a shower before everyone else, which I did. I got dressed in a white ruffled skirt and a blue tank top with a grey vest. I put on black flats, grabbed my backpack, brushed my teeth, washed my face and walked out the house without breakfast. 

 It was cold and misty outside but it was kind of nice, I started humming ' drunken whaler '. The mist started to turn into fog and I was very opaque, I could barely see my feet. But it was kind of fun in a disturbing way, I hummed even louder until I heard footsteps behind me. 

 I walked a bit faster and started singing the tone trying to drown out the footsteps, that was the only thing I could do because of the magnetic field. I turned around to see nothing, no one, not even a shadow in the fog. 

 I turned back around and kept walking with the same feeling, I started singing again 

 " ~what will we do with a drunken whaler 

what will we do with a drunken whaler 

what will we do with a drunken whaler, early in the morning~ 

 ~slit his throat with a rusty cleave~ " 

 My bag fell off my back, but I didn't drop it, I bent down to pick it up but noticed the strap was cut all the way through. I picked up my bag and lifted everything, that fell out back into it. 

 Once I had the last item in my hands I heard singing but it wasn't me, it was a guy and he was singing the same song as I was. 

 " ~what will we do with a drunken whaler 

what will we do with a drunken whaler 

what will we do with a drunken whaler, early in the morning 

 But when he sung the part I stopped at I heard a screeching sound and sparks flying from the wall. I sounded like he had a knife and he was walking along the wall with it against the smooth cement blocks. 

 " ~slit her throat with a rusty cleaver 

slit her throat with a rusty cleaver 

slit her throat with a rusty " 

 ...you get the point I didn't stick around for him to sing the next part, I picked my bag up and ran as fast as I could. He threw the knife it scaved my leg and I started bleeding, but that didn't stop me. I kept running until another one made a deep gash in my side, the knifes didn't stop there until I had a gash everywhere that was visible on my bare skin. 

 There was even one on my cheek, I tripped over a crack in the pavement and fell over. Blood poured onto the side walk, I turned over and started to try and scoot back. I could see a dark shadow appear over me and a bright smile with gleaming teeth but I couldn't see his body of face. 

 I could see the gleam of another knife in his hand, he sung 

 " ~slit her throat with a rusty cleaver early in the morning~" 

 I was truly terrified the guy stepped a bit closer but I still couldn't see anything, I couldn't stop my body from shaking. I heard my name being called from somewhere close. 

 " PHOEBE...PHOEBE...PHOEBE " 

 The guy standing over me said " next time Victoria De Antoinette " 

 He climbed over the wall and disappeared into the fog, I calmed down just a bit. Dallas ran up to me he said 

 " Phoebe, I was looking for you this whole time "
