What Once Was

Chapter 2: Insanity

Three years have passed.

The red haired girl still sat there, at the window.

She sat, looking out, hallucinating again and again. The voices grew louder and louder. Until they were gone, pure silence. She turned to pick something up. Something.. white. Soft. Fluffy.

She held the rabbit plush gingerly in her hands. "You don't think I'm crazy, right Mae?" she asked the rabbit.

She sat there for a bit, still staring at the plush. "Good. I'm glad you don't." she told the rabbit. The girl then turned. "What about you guys? Do you agree I'm not insane..? Or have I lost it?" she asked her other stuffed animals. She once again sat there as though waiting for them to verbally reply.

A few minutes passed.

Then a few more.

"Thank you. I'm glad my friends don't think I've fallen victim to insanity." she said, smiling. She turned back and continued to stare out of her window blankly. "I wish my siblings hadn't come back. I want my 'family' dead. I want to see them feel pain. I want to cut them out of my life. I want to watch them die slowly." She proceeded to tell her so-called friends.
"They're horrible. They hate me and I hate them. My siblings are home for now, so if I wanted to, I could kill them all in one go.. but then what would I do? Where would I go? I'd most likely get caught, seeing as I'd have no place to go or do.. I would need help to pull a murder like that off. Though I doubt anyone would help me with a murder.. I wish you guys could help me. I know you would.. you'd help me find a place to hide. What to do after. Then I could kill as many people as I wanted, all the people I hate and want dead." she said with a blank expression, slowly she smiled. A wide smile. The smile of insanity.

"And I know where we could hide now too! There's a large forest behind this town. It seems to go on for quite a while. Maybe we could hide there, or in the mountains that the forest surrounds..? I think that's a good idea! What do you guys think?" Again, she turned to the stuffed animals sitting on her bed. She sat, staring into their glossy plastic eyes. She smiled again,"Then if we ever do murder my 'family', we can go into that forest for cover! Then we won't have to worry about being caught!"

The girl smiled. 

Little did she know, those glossy eyes held life behind them. They listened to her, they did agree with her..
And they were going to help her.

It wasn't just her imagination anymore.
