Haunted (On Hold)

Chapter 5

They scolded me for about an hour before I could say anything. I zoomed out of their conversation with me about 2 sentences in. I wasn't going to hear their lecture.

"BROOKLYN, ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING?!?!?!"

I didn't say or do anything for awhile.

"Can I talk now?"

"Were you even listening to what we were saying?!?!"

"Yes.....no....... Does kind of count?"

Ricky and my mother both groaned.

"Fine talk."

"Well to clear things up I wasn't trying to get attention by trying to commit suicide. I was attacked. Second, I see ghost whether you believe me or not. Third.......... Third I'll be honest, I wanted you or Dad or both to put me up for adoption the moment you left. Do you even know what Dad did to me after you left?"

My mom shook her head no.

"He accused me for making you leave. He hates me. He abused me. Do you know what it's like to be abused?"

"Brooklyn don't make up these ridiculous stories. Your father would never hurt you and nobody was even attacking you."

"See? I knew you wouldn't believe me. But when the first time I've ever lied to you?"

Mom doesn't say anything. Nobody said anything. I get mad.

"NEVER!!! AND YOU KNOW IT!! I CAN'T BELIEVE........"

I see the girl looking at me right behind my mom. She slowly looks up at me. Then she disappears. I guess my family noticed. They turned to look behind. When they didn't see anything they looked back at me.

"Brooklyn go to your room."

"Fine."

I get up and go to my room. I slam the door. I turn on my light. But as soon as I did, I wished I would have never. All around me where ghosts. They all looked at me. When they did flashbacks came into my mind, overwhelming me. My head felt like it was going to explode. My head hurt like crazy. I screamed out in pain. I felt my way to my light to turn it off. I found it. After my room went dark, I felt better. But then I hear running feet on the stairs.

Oh no. This is going to be bad.

I move away from the door and go on to the balcony.  The cool air of the night soothe me. It's like I wasn't about to die a few minutes ago. I hear my door open.

"Brooklyn!!"

"Out here!"

Casper touches my shoulder.

"You alright?"

"Yeah I'm fine."

"Good. But are you sure?"

I laugh a bit.

"Yeah, I'm positive."

"OK. Well then, um good night."

"Night."

Casper leaves my room and closes the door. I breath a sigh of relief. Finally I go back into my room and count to three. After three I turned on the light and looked around my room. Nothing was there. So finally I just put my pjs on and went to sleep. But kind of wish I hadn't.

(Nightmare)

"You think you can escape so easily don't you?"

"N.....no."

"Oh yes you do. Vlad, come here boy."

I look at the door and it opens revealing that 4-headed thing I saw. That was taking me to my grave.

"That thing is yours?"

The lady gave me a very dirty look. I turned my head, trying so hard not to look at the beast. But after awhile it made me look at it. Its soulless eyes just staring at me. I wanted to scream, but knew I couldn't or she'd win. I know this isn't about winning or losing but I have a bad feeling that if I let her see fear or hear it, something terrible's going to happen. 

"Well, well, well. Not afraid of Vlad?"

"No. I'm not."

The lady gave the beast some type of signal. It started to growl at me. Then attacked! I screamed.

~~~~~~~~~(End Of Nightmare)~~~~~~~~~

I wake up breathing heavy and sweating. I get out of bed and put my jacket on. I get my ipod and drawstring bag. I put on my converses and leave the house. 

I can't believe I'm sneaking out of my mom's house.

I make sure I have my phone and I do. But as I'm walking I see the boy. Once again he's smirking at me. 

Why is he always smirking at me?

I look at him for awhile but after a little bit he disappears. That's actually kind of odd. He stayed longer than he ever has. I continue walking. I reach the cemetery where I saw that half-faced man. I look around for anyone or anything else. I don't see any shadows or people, so I sit on a bench and look up information about the couple that was burned alive.

Wait how did I know that the man was alive? Okay, this is getting even freakier!

As I'm looking up information I feel like someone's watching me. I ignore it for a bit until I feel like they're right behind me. I quickly turn and I see the girl. The flashback rushes to the front of my brain, making me see it.

~~~~~~~~~~~(Flashback)~~~~~~~~~

"Carrie, come on."

"But Mommy, there's a bad guy out there."

"Sweetie that's ridiculous. There's no bad guy out there."

"Yes there is. I saw him!! He looked like the guy you bought in a couple of weeks ago."

"Carrie, not now. Come on, we need to go."

"Fine!"

Carrie and her mom left the house and got in the car.

"Mommy look! There he is again! Aren't you par-ra-noid? He stalks the house like you said he would."

"Carrie enough! I don't want to hear it. Donald isn't around!!"

"Yes he is!!!"

"No he's......."

"MOMMY!!!! TRUCK!!!!"

~~~~~~~~~(End Of Flashback)~~~~~~~~

I open my eyes. And see that the little girl is gone.

Right now I have the names of the deceased. But now I need the name's of the one's still alive.

I close out my browser and leave the cemetery. But then I get pushed. I fell to the ground and turned myself around. I faced the face I didn't want to see until I got back home to my dad. If I get what I'm saying then I'll know that my dad was the one that pushed me.

"Brooklyn, it's so nice to see you."

"D....Dad what are you doing here?"

He laughed.

"I'm sure you know exactly why I'm here."

"But you said......"

"Shut up!!! I'm know what I said."

He stepped on my leg and put all his weight on it. I wanted to scream out. But I couldn't bring myself to do it.

"Aw, are you speechless?"

I didn't say anything. I couldn't say anything. He took his foot off my leg and then picked me up and threw me. I fell.....Hard on the cement. I started crying. I hear footsteps behind me then the world went even darker than before.
