My Monster (Slenderman x OC) OLD

chapter five // the hospital

Finally, they all left. It was now 4 A.M. Two hours from the incident. I was ready to be faced by my sisters.

They walked up to me, then Courtney began scolding me- but before she could even say two words, My step parents said we all should go to bed.

Courtney glared at my father as she tried to straighten up, as if she was superior to anyone.

He looked at her, reminding her that he was the father here. He stared sternly into her eyes, waiting for another attempt.

"If you think you are ready, you can leave this household anytime." Dad said firmly.

"You host parties every single week, and if you want to rely on your friends for a shelter, go on ahead. You're twenty, if you want to mingle with your friends every day, then i'm not stopping you." He finished his sentence, and no one spoke.

Courtney murmured something, but it was too quiet for anyone to understand. She solemnly walked to her room.

Now, my step-parents told everyone to go to bed, everyone.. Except me.

I silently winced, I wondered if I did something wrong.

My step mom looked at me. "Could you explain what happened to you in the hallway earlier?"

Mom looked at me as if I was a see-through glass window, she knew I lied back there. But she asked maybe because she couldn't figure out why I lied, and what actually happened. I don't know for sure what she's thinking completely, Since I'm not a mindreader or anything.

I wanted to explain everything to them- but would they understand? If I told them, maybe things would be.. Normal-ish?

As I opened my mouth, I tried speaking the truth, it seemed it was so dry, as if I needed to drown myself with water.

I tried speaking up, I really tried.. But my mouth seemed as if it was flooded with glue, yet dusty as a desert at the same time.

Behind my step parents, I recognize the same silhouette that appeared two times before. I had no idea how a human could get there with a blink of an eye- But I could do nothing, no one would believe me at all, they already saw me as someone with a slightly damaged brain.

It started reaching out to my parents, I shot a look at it with agonizing fear. I have to do something..

I let out a scream mixed with many emotions, I knew deep down.. I had made a grave mistake.

The world turned pitch black with me. I had no idea what I had just experienced.

I wiggled my toes to check if I could still move them, but I did not open my eyes. I felt something on my face, something rubberish... a mask, perhaps? I groggily opened my eyes, I felt them open, but it was just black..

As if everything i've ever known was part of the void.

I blinked again, finally being able to see a bit, there were colors now. But it was just a blur.

I closed my eyes again, trying to think of the situation- Okay, I let out a scream, then I somehow passed out?

"Where even am I?" I persistently kept thinking.

As a few minutes passed, even though it felt like hours to me, I was able to open my eyes and see what was around me.

The room had bare walls, and I noticed I was on a bed with a white bed sheet. The ceiling had a square modern light that seemed to be miles away, but I knew it was just my imagination, because after my vision started going back to normal, it was just many feet away.

I saw machines around me and saw my heart rate on another side of the wall. There were also gadgets that would be in a hospital..

Then it all clicked in my mind, fact after another. I was in a hospital.

I heard the doorknob rattle, then a quick push and woosh of the sudden force.

It seemed as if their voices were muted, because for some strange reason I could not hear them.

I remembered what happened before I woke up, that was probably why I couldn't hear them. My body was maybe trying to go back to normal, but my hearing hadn't fixed yet.

Soon, I could hear again. The doctor and my parents were talking.
