That Day In August

Chapter Eighteen: A Painters Mind

"Scarlett wake up. Come on please wake up." Psycho said, shaking me as he sounded worried.

In the background of him I heard a heart monitor beep.

I wake up slowly, opening my eyes to see Psycho holding my head tight watching me wake up and hugging me tight. "Damn it man you really had me worried this time." He said holding me close, happy to see I'm awake. I take a quick glance around the room seeing a single yellow rose in a small bottle voice with some wild flowers mixed in with it.

"Psycho? Where am I?" I ask him holding his hand, looking around the room seeing it was already starting to snow outside. "Why is it snowing?" I ask him sounding a bit concerned. Psycho holds my hand tight and takes a breath before telling me

"You went into a coma, you hit your head pretty hard on the side of your night glass night stand." Psycho said "you've been put for three months and 8 days. I'll be right back, I'm getting the doctors."

He said getting up then gave me a quick pat on my arm before he ran out of the room to go and get the doctors. I didn't really say anything to the doctors about what I experienced. They told me it was a coma.

"But if it was a coma then how did it feel so real to me?" I ask myself every time it comes across my mind I watch life outside of the hospital. Everyone was just living their normal daily routine lives.

I heard my room door creak open as I heard footsteps come up behind me then felt some whisper in my ear. "Told you you can never escape me like rabbit." The voice sounded familiar. I turned around and saw I was the only one in my room.

The room showed no sign of another entering the room. Everything was just how I had it.

I walked over to my bed to lay down. Once I had got myself settled in I noticed a book appeared on my lap called "Tales Of The blood Princess Massacre." There was no name for who the author might have been.

I turned the front cover of the book to see there was no table of context, just the first chapter of the book. The first page was written as if it was someone's diary but instead of there being dates there was a chapter already written as "chapter one: Valentine hunt."

With a small paragraph underneath it seemed like whoever wrote this didn't want nobody to find out about the things they've seen and done.

The first sentence of the paragraph started out like the writer was talking to an old friend that haven't seen in awhile by starting out and saying

"Hello my name is Kaitlyn but you can call me kitty for short. I'm honestly not really good at this but this is my story..now what I'm about to tell you may be unsettling for you or whoever found this and is reading it.

First I wanna start about by saying I'm sorry if you are reading this and you've found it in the woods or if this isn't you reading this. Just please listen and don't yell at her for this it's not her fault. I'm sorry I wasn't that great of a friend.

I'm sorry that I wasn't there all the time as well..but..please for what you're about to read in this book I hope you'll understand why I had to do it and why I went chasing that rabbit down its hole."

I closed the book deciding it was best if I didn't read any more of it. I set the book down and lay back looking out the window again watching the snowfall as a single cardinal flew by and landed outside my window and chirped.

It felt like a weight was being lifted off my shoulders as I watched the cardinal.

Then I heard psycho come back in with a coffee "here i figured you might want one." He said, setting it down on the tray table next to the bedside. "Ok so tell me everything that had happen." Psycho asks me taking a drink of his coffee.

"Ok well it started out with me walking down some train tracks on the outside of town." I said taking a pause to drink some of my coffee "and as I was walking I noticed an unusual deer. It had marble blue eyes and there was these to lady that were walking with the deer too." After that I began to tell him everything and he believed me.

A few days went by as I was sitting in a cafe waiting for psycho. Ever since that day I told him everything that had happened.

Afterwhile my life started going back to normal like nothing ever happened to me as if it was all a dream.

Me and psycho still talk about it from time to time but we do our best to not think or talk about it as much.

We both tried to pretend that the world I was in didn't exist and acted as if it was just a fairy tale.

I looked out the window waiting for him as I watched the whales in the clouds fly by. "I guess you can't change everything in your life, some things are meant to come and go." I heard Pyscho say as I went back to take a drink of my coffee then looked up at him noticing teddy was sitting up on the table beside him across from me. "I suppose your right." I said looking back out the window to watching the clouds go by.

Psycho grabbed a hold of my hand walking outside with me as I grabbed teddy quickly putting them back in my bag before following behind him. Seeing the adventure ahead of us was only just the beginning of what the world had in story for us.

THE END..?
