For your sleepless nights (Scary short stories)

Don't leave my side...

"I'm afraid... I don't know what I can do anymore, Im losing it, and there's nothing else to prove. Now I can hear the shadows talking to me, yearning to touch me, and waiting for me to join the... Maybe I should follow them.

The only thing trying to keep me sane is my best friend, and even though I don't see her often, just talking to her made me feel better, made me remember I was human. But of course the shadows didn't like that, they became louder and louder, until it was the only thing in my brain, but again she isvstill there.

why? why!? I don't want it, I don't deserve this, I want to be in the shadows, I want to be alone... I want to be a monster, I want you to consider me a monster, just like the shadows. The're now taking shape, they come from my closet, from drawers, from under my bed end finally... from my head. They welcome me, they understand me... Just like you do, but it feel wrong, you're real, you feel you're my light... but I can't have that, I shouldn't, and yet, I still find myself beggin you not to leave me alone.

Leave me alone! Your smile, your eyes, your laugh, your voice, your beauty drives me insane. By being there you make me happy, by making me happy you hurt the shadows, and by hurting the shadows you hurt me. I don't want you! but I need you, you're the closest thing to be considered my everything, but the shadows, the shadows, the shadows!

We have to put a stop to this..."

This is what the letter Snow sent me said. Worried, I drove to his house to check up on him, it's been a while since I've seen him and he's been through allot, but I just want to be there for him. I guess you could say, I've come to love him...

Walking up the stairs I felt this... disturbing feeling as I stared at the front door, as if hundreds of eyes were staring at my every move with hateful, murderous intent. I was frightened, but that wouldn't stop me from seeing him, from telling him how I felt, maybe thats what he needed.

I knocked on the door a couple of times with no answer, but I knew he was home cause his car was at the drive way, and whend I tried the door handle, it was unlocked, and I decided to enter. Once inside I shouted his name a few times without answer, and I had an ominous feeling from that place, it just felt wrong somehow.

I shocked when I found Snow, he was crouching on the living room floor like an animal, naked, with a dark mist circling him, it terrified me to the very core. After taking a few short, trembling steps, I decided to call out to him, but all I could manage was a simple wisper...

-Snow... Snow, can you hear me?- he didn't respond, but still I persisted -Snow...? come on, it's me, Minnie...- He twitched his neck, then slowly raised his head to meet my gaze, his eyes looked... wrong... he smiled and started speacking frantically, making no sense...

-You're here! You're here!- his eyes were wide open, sporting the biggest smile I had ever seen from him, as he started hopping while still crouching, repeating "you're here, you're here." I was a little creeped out by all this, but I was still glad he recognised me.

-yes Snow, it's me, I came to he...- before I could finish my sentence he lunged at me and grabbed my by the throat, and saying...

-you're here, you're here, we can finally end this, we'll finally be free, this body will finally be ours!-

I tried to talk, to beg him to stop, but I couldn't. His grip was too strong, and it was only getting tighter every time I tried to gasp for air...

Everything was starting to go dark, my body felt completly numb, but before I fell unconsious, I felt his tears fall down on my cheek, as he said...

-...Im srry... please... this isn't me... please forgive Minnie... I love you...-
