James

I held my breath. I must be dreaming. Got too but what type of freaky dreams is this. Floating eyeballs all around my house and room is very concerning and now I'm laying under my bed.

I went to sleep n woke up to a really high pitch scream that it.

I picked up my phone carefully to text jasmine. No service??? " the hell" I covered my mouth and I saw one of the eyeballs snap towards me. Shit! SHIT SHIT!!

Ok ok.. Maybe it didn't see me-" I closed my eyes as I heard a wet plopping sound slap against the floor." Whap whap whap."splat splat." The sounds stopped n I peeked one of my eyes opened and looked in front of me seeing two goop black legs of the sort." I..see.. y-you."

The bed was yanked up and I dashed for my bead room door and I felt something graze against my back  I was ready to run down the hall when I suddenly heard a voice " James stop"  n I trusted my gut and stopped half down the hallway. I looked around for the voice desperately and wondered why it seemed so familiar.

No time to think about that anyways.

I stopped breathing,I covered my mouth. I pressed my arm against the door. The" thing"let out a horrible squeal that made me slide down to my knees and hold my ears urgh- that hurts.

I peeked one of my eyes opened n held my breath as the footsteps came pounding outside the door the same wet like sound came with it. Black foot prints followed leaving a sticky trail  as the group of creatures ran ahead of me.

I can't explain their body it was too confusing. They had arms drippy black ones but arms and legs n feet The head they had was a giant eyeballs with the cord that connects it to the socket being the torso. They did not have a body before. That is certain.I let out a breath when I was sure they was all downstairs and I slumped down a little bit.

Ok.. I need a way out of this house..but what if jasmine comes home soon. Can't reach her cell neither. I stood up quietly walking into my room. These things seem blind. That's good and ironic,to be a giant eyeball.

I'm a lil scared I got to admit that.

But I have to keep my composure.everything would be worse if I panicked. I reminded myself as I gripped my arm and I glanced behind me doing my train of thought. I reached my hand towards my window and carefully lifted it up.

I grabbed my red backpack and my phone still laying on the floor.  Often coming down this windows is something I never thought would help me.

I'm glad I'm use to getting down from this window. Glad it not jasmine, lord knows how messed up she would be. She never been the best fit person. I glanced up. "This whole situation actually fuc- I frowned thinking my thoughts before my eyes grew and I froze with my leg half way up, foot on the windows ledge.

A eye with no "body" floated past the room before squealing. It stopped in front of the door way and I felt my heart pulse against my muscle shirt. My fear and the  dread didn't last long before it started shooting black ink in my direction. I moved back and it covered the window instead .  Ew. I stayed quiet and even stopped breathing but it didn't work.

It squealed again and I dropped my bag in relaxation.

SHIIT!!

this one could fucking see.



Jasmine pov

Perl and I ran down the rode. It look like we finally got out the loop after the 20th or so repeat. "Its- crazy all this running." *Huff*

"we do,we don't have no means of transportation!!" Perl yelled nI could tell she was out of breath just as I was " TWO-MORE BLOCKS" I reminded her more like reminding my self snaps,all those days james wanted me to do cardio never would have came in more handy..

my heart hurts my lungs on fir and .." perl sighed " can't we take a bre-" "YOU DID NOT STOP FOR JAY!!" I yelled and her eyes grew wide as the wind blowed strands of her hair in front of her.  She stopped before grabbing my shirt I slapped her hands away,holding onto my knees for support.

I huffed and looked down as tears flooded in my eyes " you didn't stop for jay.. so don't gige me that shit about MY OTHER HALF!!"

we both took this moment to look at each other snd catch our breath and even tho I was tired and wanted to stay there to cry I grabbed perl pulling her up and  she hugged me and I closed my eyes and hugged her back. " you right,we got to keep moving " perl mumbled and I started running again as she followed . "We almost there " perl mumbled." After this,lets invest in scooters or something " she yelled as the wind slapped against our faces " one thing at a time." I mumbled

James..pls hold on I'm coming.

James

I ran down the steps as fast as I could. The whole area around me  turned  to like black goop and the walls started melting and the  floor because like quick sand and I found it hard to move my legs. It seemed the further I went the worse n deeper it got

. The monster was no longer behind me but my new problem was not being engulfed into this ink. I ran down the stairs as best as I could and when I reached the last step The living room was starting to move to goop as well but in the kitchen was a eyeball with the black substance connecting it to the wall.

A teeth filled smiled popped up beside it. N u gritted my teeth.

I'm completely scared,I admit that I'm only human and I'm not even 15 yet.. I always try to put on a brave face for jasmine but this time I don't even know if I can.

I breathed out you got this james,pull yourself together.. this is your home "And I'm not going to let sum goggly eyed prick take that away.

The eye ball  blink and it green pupils moved around rapidly.I could feel myself getting angry  my blood boil.  I clenched my fist as it grinned. It was toying with me, as if I'm a joke. Hm,ain't that the punch line? With my past. I got to count to ten. My therapist says that good.. I got to stay focused

I looked up at it and it laughed if that's what it could be called. That how I took it. " YOU MESSING WITH MY HEAD!!" I yelled grabbing a kitchen knife off the goop blob in the wall. 

It squealed and black tentacles dashed towards me but I moved around them and jump when one tried to wrap  around my ankle I hissed when one slammed my head into the wall and Stabbed it making it scream. I made sure my mouth was closed to not inhale any of the black ink into my mouth.

It dropped me and I wiped my mouth and cheek of the black goop. "HA" I screamed as I slammed the knife into the eye and it squealed making me  fall and hold my ears

blood oozed down the eye as it continued to scream and I closed my eyes tight only opening them when the screaming was done. I slowly peeked my eyes open. And I was sitting in my bed.

I looked around uncovering my ears and I hastily stepped off the bed walking towards the door and when I walked downstairs to the kitchen. I screamed and held my head when all the memories came flowing in and I felt the sudden slash on my back start to throb. I lifted my shirt up and felt where the pain was at but didn't feel any slash of cut.

"  what happened"

I thought long on it before I got a head ache and got a thought.

I recalled what jasmine had stressed to the group so bad and what she said to me in our own private convo and begged me to believe her. "Ok now I'm starting to think I really should have believed her." I laughed a bit clutching my side  the closet I could get to the slash on my back.
