Wanderlust.

Chapter 2

The next morning was awful, I woke up with a terrible headache... I was so glad it was Saturday.I slowly walked downstairs and took some headache medicine to make me feel just slightly better.After a couple hours of waiting for my headache to wear off,I added Talia on Kik and on my contacts list just in case I need to call her.My request was immediately responded to.I waited for Talia to start the convo.

KIK MESSENGER:

Talia: Hey Karolina ☻

Karolina: Hey...

*Talia has gone offline*

It was strange.Why did Talia all of a sudden go offline right after I responded to her text? that wasn't my biggest worry right now though."KAROLINA!!" screamed my mom across the house,I ran to her curious to know what was going on.Suddenly I saw the whole wall covered in rat blood and letters that spelled out "I'M COMING FOR YOU KAROLINA ALVEREZ". I fell to my knees.I thought I could have a new start,a fresh new reputation.I began to sob.The cycle has started to reset again and this "thing" or "person" was coming after me again.My mother was speechless,she had tears in her eyes and she locked herself up in a room with my Father.I knew my parents were worried about me,and my safety.I ran my fingers through the bloody words and suddenly scratched myself with sharp glass.I let the blood and open cut there,the blood came gushing out from the tiny cut.It hurt like hell but I felt like I deserved it.I took some more glass and I sliced some across my feet and ankles..it hurts.I didn't know why I was doing such a thing...I had the perfect life until something happend and now someone is coming after me..for no reason.The Police didn't believe me..they told my Parents that I belonged in the crazy house for "Troubled Minds".My Parents knew I was telling the truth,they were they only thing I had..Family.Friends didn't matter...because my life at this point is Black & White.

As the blood poured out of my cuts..I closed my eyes and layed there in the middle of the Living Room.I dreamed about swimming in a Lake and the water was so clear you could see everything! thats when the water started to turn Dark and Murky.I couldn't see a thing,I felt something tug at my flowy dress then the tug got stronger and stronger I tried to fight it but it was too strong.I looked down and it was..Talia.She had pitch black eyes and her hair was as white as snow and her skin was all bruised and beaten and bloody too.I realized she was pulling me into her problems..into her sadness...into her anger...and into her lack of support by her Family & Friends.I opened my eyes and Talia was standing over my head and yelled "KAROLINA!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! GET UP! WE HAVE TO GET YOU TO THE HOSPITAL ASAP!!" yelled Talia.My Mother was getting the keys to the car and my Father was helping Talia pick me up and put me in the car.When we pulled out of the driveway and into the road things started getting Blurry...was this the end for me? after that I blacked out and woke up in a hospital bed with my Mother & Father by my side sleeping and Talia sitting on the chair reading a Magazine."Oh...you're awake" said Talia smiling.I thought Talia was crazy....why would she smile at her Friend that almost died?....I sat up on my bed and faced Talia."Oh my Karolina..." said Talia shaking her head "How foolish of you to do such a thing" she laughed while turning the page in her Magazine.I didn't have the energy to speak so I let Talia talk the shit she wanted too."Karolina...I hope you know I was the one that wrote that on the walls" she snickered "I am the thing you're afraid of...now you know and be happy that I told you and be thankful you're still alive." she laughed and opened the door to leave..before heading out she said "Just letting you know...don't think of anything stupid because I will find a way to destroy you...Karolina Alverez..."

Then she slammed the door and my Parents woke up and sighed with relief.I was so happy to finally be alone with my Parents and without Talia being nosey and all up in my buisness.I couldn't tell my Parents though..then they would tell the Police and I don't want that again....I decided to take things into my own hands...I needed people to back me up...even in this Town so dead..I needed friends and Talia wasn't the one for me.
