The Walls

Chapter 8: Shadows

*Brooks POV*

I swear I'm going crazy. I've been hallucinating like crazy,I've been seeing things always in the shadows. Its like thier mocking there freedom at me. Aaron has still been asking me the same question and I always reply with " I don't know what your talking about." or "Your crazy." and with those answers I always get the same, A beating. He makes them worse each time, I don't know how much longer I'm going to be able to deal with all of this. I'm growing weaker by the second.

Sometimes I don't even have enough strength to hold my own head up. It's disgusting how weak I am. I jump when I hear the door slam open.

"Wake up bitch, This is your final chance I don't want any lying now or else." Aaron said.

"Or else what. You'll hurt me don't you think you've done that enough." I spat.

After I said that he cocked me in the face, hard. I do have to say he punches hard. A little to hard because the next thing I know I'm knocked out. And guess what the shadows are mocking me again with there figures hiding within them.

But the weird thing was it looked like it whispered "Hold on its almost over." But that's all I could remember before darkness took over.

*Sam's POV*

Brooks been gone for about two months now. I've been looking for her everywhere but I just can't find her. It's killing me not knowing if she's dead or not. If there's still time to save her. Just thinking about it makes me drop a tear. We've made a search party. 15 people go west and the same for north, south, and east. So far they have not found one clue to where she is. I am bring out of my thoughts by someone barging in to my office.

"Sam! We think we found something about your sister!" My friend Joey said.

When he said that I flew out of my seat so fast the chair fell over. "Where!" I screamed.

"At the west coast, just on the edge of the valley." Joey said.

"Well the what are we waiting for, let's go!" I hollered. And with that we set off. It would take us at least 45 minutes to get there. I darted towards the forest, all my sadness washed away the closer I got to the spot the said they think they might of found. After awhile my legs started to ache and my breathe short from running for so long. When we finally got to the spot, and there was a trail of blood on the ground. What it lead to made my knees buckle and my heart almost jump out of its chest. It was a huge puddle of blood so large, if you were to lay a full grown grizzly bear to lay on its side it would be as big as that. And on the trees next to it a note was stuck to a tree using one of my sisters shivs, it read

Your to late for your sister if only she wasn't, how should I put in, Persistent

P.s Watch the people around you, they might not all me on your side.

"Why!!!" I screamed as I broke down. The tears screaming down my face like the rain on the windows. My cries and screams of pain ripping through the forest like a hurricane. I can hear the people around me leave to give me alone time. All my thoughts coming out. Why couldn't I have been the one to die not her. She was always the one that had something to fall back on if something bad happened. But me all I had to fall back on was her. No more laughing together, No more hugs. I'll never get to hold her in my arms again. We'll never get to go on those midnight adventures. Why did she have to go! Why did she ahve to drop all of this pain on me. Couldn't she see I don't have enough strength to handle this burden all on my own.

Why did she leave?! Why did she die?

She was the only one i ever had.

I have no one I'm all alone now.

All alone.

The more I think about it the more it feels like my hearts getting ripped out. All these years I've stayed strong. Just for Brook, i've always looked up to her I didn't want to seem weak. She was my rock when I needed her. And I was her rock If she needed me.

She was the peanut to my jelly. The Blue in my sky. Twinkle in my eye. When we were younger I couldnt really talk to my dad about anything neither could Brook. So we would talk to eachother for hours on end. She was like my best friend. We could tell eachother anything. When will my life get better, why couldn't I of had a normal life.

Why won't all of this pain just go and leave me alone. Just leave me alone. Just stop...
