I was in a room, I didn't know where I was. I was strapped to a chair and there were 2 men, they looked tired and as if they were in their 20's.One was tall, skinny, bags under his eyes and he looked as if he hadn't slept in days. He had dirty blond hair. The other was also tall, skinny, he had brown hair and very pink lips that stood out. The room was lit with a very bright light that hurt my eyes. "Let me go!" I tried to say, but no words came out. "Danielle, how do you explain all the bodies? Why have you been killing these people if you claim you don't even know them?" the blond asked, "I told you I didn't do it. I don't think I did anyway.." my voice came out hoarse. "Then who did kill them?!" he asked.  "I'm not sure! Can I just go back to my family?! I don't even know where I am! LET ME GO!" I screamed, it hurt my throat but I wanted to leave. Suddenly everything turned black..I woke up, unstrapped, blood on my clothes. I saw the two men lying on the floor, dead. I was confused on how this had happened. I didn't remember anything at all,"Did I do this?" I thought to myself. I quickly started to think of a way to get out and saw a door. I ran to it and tried to open it but it was locked, "Fuck!" I whispered. I walked over to the men and tried to see if they had a key on them, the brown haired one did. I took it and quickly unlocked the door. There were 3 different halls, one going to the left, right, and straight ahead. I didn't know where to go. I went to the right, hoping it was the right way. It wasn't. I went left and once I got to the end, I had to turn right, where it led me to a dead end. Obviously it was straight ahead that I had to go. I went to the hall straight ahead and ran into some trouble. There was a man, kind of chubby, short, and he had red cheeks. "Haha. I've got you. Ms.Danielle, you're going back to that room. You won't be leaving anytime soon, trust me on that." he said. He grabbed me and was dragging me back to the room I woke up in. Suddenly, everything went dark again. 

I woke up in a chair in the middle of the hall. The man was gone, but there was blood everywhere. I quickly got up and noticed I was drenched in blood. I ran to the end of the corridor and saw an exit to the right. I opened it up and walked out to the hot sun beating down on what seemed like the desert. "I'm never going to get home, I'm just going to die." I said to myself as I walked. I walked for what seemed like forever until it started to get dark, I didn't know where I'd sleep. I looked around quickly before it got completely dark. I saw a cave type thing in the distance. I walked and it felt like I was walking around the world. I was tired, sore, and very thirsty. I finally got there and it was cold inside, I layed in the corner trying to ignore the cold and fall asleep. Eventually, I did. I woke up in my bed. I remembered myself being in the desert the day before, sleeping in a cave thing. I didn't understand how I got home, but I was thankful I was there. I rubbed my eyes, got my slippers on and walked downstairs. I could smell bacon, eggs, and hashbrowns. "Goodmorning mother! How are you this fine morning?" I cheerfully said to my mom. "Danielle! My lord, you've been gone for a week! Honey, where have you been? I missed you so much. I thought I'd never see you again. Thank the gods above!" my mother ran over to me and gave me a bear hug which nearly broke my ribs. "Was it really that long?" I thought. "Here, you can have 2 eggs, 5 pieces of bacon, and 3 hashbrowns! Hope you're hungry sweetie." My mom looked absolutely wonderful. She looked happy and shocked at how I was back. "Thanks mom and yes, I'm starving!" I scarfed down my breakfast and headed to the library where I had to do research on the Siberian Tiger. I walked the 5 blocks and saw my crush, Jabez Johnson. "Oh god no! I look horrible!" I whispered. I walked to the doors of the library, looking down at the pavement hoping he wouldn't notice me. "Hey, Danielle!" he said, "Fuck." I thought. "Hey, Jabez! What's up?" I asked," Ah, nothing much. You look great today by the way, not that you don't always." he smiled. I blushed and replied a simple thanks and started walking again. "Hey, wait, no," he ran over to me and grabbed my arm,"You should come over or maybe we should just go to the park.?" he asked,"Uh, I guess. Sure, why not." We walked talking about school related things when he stopped and said,"Well, this is it. My home. You wanna come in?" he asked and smiled,"Yeah, sure!" he held the door open for me and I walked in. It was a beautiful home, they had a chandelier, wooden floors, things from other places like India, Africa, Italy, New York, and Hawaii. They had a nice white couch that had pale blue pillows which had designs of random swirls on it. Their curtains were green and their walls were white. "You want to go to my room?" he asked, "Sure." We walked upstairs and the 2nd level was all carpeted. I walked into his room and he had a King size bed with white carpet. He had a desk with a laptop sitting on it. His bed had a blue blanket on it with grey sheets and a blue pillow. I sat on his bed and he sat beside me,"You know.. you're beautiful, Danielle. You're an amazing girl. I've known you for 8 years and you're a generous, sweet girl. Will-" I interrupted,"Yes." He smiled and hugged me. "Do you know how long I've wanted this to happen?" I asked him,"Guessing a long time?" he smiled. "Duh." We cuddled in bed together for what seemed like eternity, I was so happy. I had wanted this for such a long time and now that it happened I couldn't believe it. I checked my phone to see the time, it was 8:12pm. "I have to get home." I quickly said. "Aw, damn it. Well, text me babe." he said. He got up with me and walked with me all the way home. Before I walked in he kissed my cheek and said goodnight.

I instantly went to bed

I woke up the next morning, my throat was dry and I was really thirsty. I got up and once I got off my bed, I stepped in something wet. I looked down and saw a pool of blood. I looked across the room and saw a dead man. I ran over to the man and examined his lifeless body. He had jet black hair and he was scary looking. His teeth were all chipped and yellowed from most likely  cigarettes. His skin was very white, as white as a piece of paper. He was wearing a black trench coat with black pants and black rubber boots. He had a ski mask on too. I wonder what happened. I stood looking at his body before I realized I had been staring for about an hour. I got some clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Once I got out, I dried my body and dressed myself. I put makeup on, watching myself in the mirror making sure I didn't mess it up. Suddenly, I saw somebody else. It wasn't me. She looked at me with evil eyes. It was my younger sister. She had died 5 years ago in a car crash along with my father. I had missed her so much, we had this strong connection and she was my best friend- only friend. She was always there for me as all my "friends" always betrayed me. She was inside of me. All I could wonder is how long. "You know, Danielle, I'm here for you. Whenever somebody threatens you or tries to take over, I'll be there." she smiled a crooked smile and stood there, watching me. All I could do was stare at her in complete and utter shock. I ran out of the bathroom and into my room. I smashed all the mirrors in my room with my fist. My knuckles were bleeding, but I didn't care. Even though I missed her, it was scary to think of her inside me. Seeing her again after I knew she was dead. 

What did you guys think? Should I write more?
