Little Fears

Chapter 3 | trusting too soon

I woke up. I was in the woods, the same place where I was with...

Mark...

I stood up and looked around. I was all alone. Until I heard a voice from behind. It was Isla. The little girl.

Why was she there?

Isla was looking at the floor until she looked at me, directly in the eyes...

Her eyes were coloured with a bloody red...

I got scared. Isla started floating and with a deep and creepy voice, she said:-You fool. You and your little friend trusted me and now I can easily kill everyone in the house... I killed your brother, don't you know? I'm the killer... I'm the antagonist in this story... Don't you know, Aimee?-.

She became the same monster as that day. I started panicking. I ran. Until, I felt nothing under my feet...

A black hole with no end was under me...

I fell and immediately woke up from the dream.

I was crying. Isla was sitting on my bed, looking at me. She said:-So... It's difficult to kill you when you're sleeping?- -W..what? Isla, what the hell are you saying?!- -Don't worry... I'm the antagonist, I'm not gonna tell you what's on my mind. Keep your mouth shut, or I'll seriously kill you. Understood?- -Yessir...!- -Good, now sleep. I promise that I'm not going to kill you this time. I'm pretty tired.- -Okay, yeah.. Good night, then...- -Night!-.

I started sleeping and now I had a peaceful sleep.

I woke up. There was Wilbur sitting on my bed. He said:-Did she do that to you too?- -Yeah. If you're talking about the devil, yeah...- -Don't worry, we'll stop her... I talked about this with Xavier this morning, she's sleeping so she can't even hear us. By the way, are you alright? You seem off...- -Can I talk to you privately, please?- -Sure. Let's go in a safe room, I don't trust the kid.- -It's about this demon here.- -Let's go.-.

We got up and went in a room. It was a safe room. Nobody was there.

I started crying...

Wilbur hugged me and he said:-Hey, calm down. What happened?- -She... She killed...- -Who?!- -My bro... My older brother... He was a best friend to me... She killed him.. It's all my fault... IT'S ALL MY FAULT..!- -Hey, hey... It isn't... It is not. Don't ever think that. Your brother would be really upset if he sees you like this... He wants you to survive and be happy.. I'm sure he thinks this as well. He's in a better place now... Don't cry.. Sh... Everything's alright..-.

We sat on the floor. I hugged him tightly. I was crying more. Why... Why him... WHY MARK.. WHY MARK AND NOT ME...!

Wilbur started stroking me slowly. He was saying comforting words...

Until we heard someone walking in...

It was Michael and Amelia.

They looked at us with a worried face. They entered the room and closed the room. Amelia sat behind me and hugged me. She said:-Dear, who's the killer..?- -Isla.- -She's just a kid?!- -She isn't... She killed Aimee's brother! She tried to kill us both in the sleep! Xavier knows. Go ask him, Michael!-.

Amelia said:-I'm sorry... Please try to forget it and live smiling, always. He doesn't want you to see you like this, Aimee. Please, stop crying and revenge him.. We'll try to talk to the others..-.

I hummed and hugged her. Her arms were comfortable. She was like a mother, even if she was 16.

Amelia got up and walked away with Michael. Wilbur said:-I hope it'll go well...- -I hope so too..- -What if she founds out about this?- -She won't, I think and hope.- -Yeah.-.

We got up and went away from the room.

Wilbur glanced at me and smiled.

We have to kill Isla as soon as possible or we'll be in danger...

Isla was really the traitor...
