Horryville: Book 2

Chapter 8: Nex

Months later... 

Bedroom - 6:30 am 

My alarm goes off. Every morning I prepare to battle a different creep. Sad thing is, all these attacks are not proven to be effective on them, but it's the best I got. They can be at any corner of the room. I must be prepared. 

"You're trying to hard." Meggy said. She is a spirit that died from Ben Drowned. 

"I'm with Meggy on this one." Her older brother Greg said. He died from Sally when he went to go look in her house for answers to his sisters death. Let's just say Meggy's like Sam and Greg is like me. Age and gift wise. 

"Well I need to be prepared. Who knows what could happen." 

"Look, you need a break! It's the last day of school! Have some fun for once." Greg said. 

"Easy for you to say. Your dead." 

"Maybe but I was like you once. Remember? I am able to see memories when I possess people." He taunted. 

"Yeah, possess me again and you will wish I never saved you soul." 

"Nexy, you need to calm down a bit." Meggy said in a little voice. 

"Don't call me Nexy-" 

"Who are th-th-th-those people you are t-t-alking too?" I turn around. Issac. He also has the gift to see spirits. Shit. 

"Fox! Uhh, they're  just a few friends-" 

"That ca-a-a-an fly?" 

"I am going to be doing a magic show to celebrate the last day of school. At school. Not here." 

"Aww. I w-was going to ask-k-k-k to cele-ebrate with you." I does his pouty and makes his big blue eyes water. Greg jesters me to go with it. Issac to good with messing up emotions. I make a big loud sigh. 

"Fine." 

"Yay!" 

"Just answer me one question. How are you up this early in the morning?" 

"How ar-r-r-r-re you?" Greg and Meggy held back a snicker. He got me there. 

"Let's just get this over with." 

"Yay!" He sat down with his legs out. 

"Don't tell anyone about this." 

Let the show begin.

PE - 2:12 pm

We got to play either dodge ball, basketball, or flag football outside for PE. I chose football. I was out on the field. Right now the red team has the ball. Me and the rest of the blue team is on defense so I am running toward Luke. He has the ball. I jump forward and push him to the ground. Coach blows his whistle and calls time. 

"Get off of me punk." He pushes me back so hard I land the other way. I quickly get up and me and him are staring eye to eye. 

"So, you think you can beat? Maybe I should call my beautiful ever lasting girlfriend to watch." I grind my teeth. That little son of a- 

"Hahahaha." I hear in the distance. The distance from behind Luke. I see a figure behind him. Insane eyes, messy black hair, blood at every corner of him. Jeff. He gives me the most nightmares. Every night. Every... night... 

"Nex! NEX!!!" I blink out of it. Coach has his hand on my shoulder and is shacking my to death. 

"Yes Coach!" I yell through his shaking. 

"We all thought you were having a stroke or something! Luke punched you three times in the nose and kicked you in the knees man! You didn't even flinch! Dude was even starting to get worried! You scared us!"Coach yelled. I realized everyone was looking at me with worried looks and that I wasn't even on the ground. 

"I'm fine-" 

"No you're not." 

"Coach you don't-" 

"Not another word." There goes being normal. Hopefully the same doesn't happen to Sam. If I can at least get to home with no problem, then Horryville here I come.
