Lost Sanity

At home

The house was matt black modern house, in the forest near a beautiful lake; The tree surrounding the mansion were dried up and almost dead, yet the house kept cool since the trees were at least 8 meters tall, towering over the house as if it was a dolls house. They got into the house as Raven rushed upstairs, towards her bedroom, which was a big bedroom, with celebrity posters which hung up on a shell white wall. She had a double bed with a net on top to keep bugs and mosquitos from biting her. She swiftly made it to her desk, carefully opening her mint green laptop that had hundreds of mini stickers glued to the back of it, with hearts, fairies and other sort of fairy tale stickers. She started to search up sunbeam park and the tragedies that happened in the past. She scrolled abruptly on her mouse looking for answers. Her seven year old brain was diving into unknown, malicious websites, where people from the other side of her screen could undoubtfully see her. 

Footsteps could be heard outside Ravens room, as she rapidly closed her laptop, her heart beat racing, her forehead sweating. Her mum swung the door open to drop off some freshly washed clothes and blankets and left. Raven waited for a couple of minutes before returning to the website of Blakely Manor Park and what had happened to the forsaken building. Ravens leg shaking as she finally found some information. A picture of multiple blooded bodies lay on the checkered white and black floor, blood splashed all over the walls. As Raven nervously yet intrigued carried on looking for more answers, she scrolled further onto the website and found an article about what happened. She starting reading only the first section of the article. 

             Article says that she was brutally beaten up by her ex husband after he had kicked her pregnant womb multiple times during that day, she came to the park to finally have peace as she always loved to walk in Blakely Manor Park, she was a lovely woman who helped children get through their problems, and always wished she had a perfect family. She previously got abused by her parents at a young age, so she was never at rest of pain. The young woman around mid twenties later that day shot twelve innocent people 5 children; ages ranging between 5 and 12. and seven adults. The employee working their was injured with gun shots to the left side of the chest and her right arm, bleeding profusely bleeding, almost losing consciousness. She was the one that pressed the red alarm button to alert police officers in the area. After Shooting everyone in the café she loaded the gun one last time and aimed it at her head. Her bruises on her cheek, eye socket were black and blue, her arms were cut open, with a scar mark around her neck from previous strangulation. She pressed the trigger, the bullet going through her skull as her body flopped to the floor over a innocent member of the community.   

The people in the community loved her, no one knew she was depressed nor abused. Raven's eye were tearing up as she closed her laptop slowly and put her head on the white polished table. The pictures were to much, her legs all shaky. It was 7pm, so Raven decided to go to sleep early, hoping that she would forget about these horrific images out of her small head. She hopped into bed and closed her eyes for the morning to come. She grabbed her favourite toy and hugged it as she fell asleep. Later in the night she woke up to her laptop playing music. Raven was puzzled, as she definitely shut her laptop off. She shuffled towards her table and opened up her computer, the music suddenly stopped. She looked at it, the computer was off, but yet it somehow still played music. She closed it, with her tired arms, as she shuffled back to bed. At five o'clock in the morning her laptop made another noise, but this time it wasn't music, it was an old man talking. He sounded like he'd been a smoker all his life. His voice was deep, it was very hoarse too. She jumped out her bed, her addled mind, her eyes shifting from one side of her room to the other; she gazed outside as it was raining, the light breaking through her curtains the slight breeze, it was slightly raining too, the first time it has rained this summer. The tree definitely needed this, even if it was a tiny amount. 

Raven looked back at her computer. The hoarse voiced man was mumbling, it was heard to understand what he was saying. She came closer and the man stopped talking. Raven's mother came and opened the door, opened the curtains. "Right miss Raven, you really need to clean your room today, there's clothes all over the floor." Raven rolled her eyes, her eyes sagging from loss of sleep, and her back all achy. "Mother I'm not well, can't I do it tomorrow?" Ravens mother looked at her, she did seem pale looking and her eyes were red from lack of sleep. "Ohh okayyy dear, rest up. I'll make some hot chocolate for you." She opens the window wider to let some more cool air through the room, the air smelling fresher since a long time. Some rumbles of thunder are coming from far ahead. Raven dives back into her bed to cuddle Mr.Bear and as she closes her eyes, she hears the mans voice again. Raven got up and picked up her laptop and relocated it to her bathroom cabinet. Where she wouldn't be able to here the old man speak.

Raven had to deal with the man later, but now she has to focus on her sleep. School is coming up soon. She needs to catch up on her day of sleep fast. She goes back to sleep, after six hours later she hears the man shouting from her laptop. She goes back into her bathroom and opens the cabinet where she placed her laptop. She carefully opens it, to sneak peak on the screen, and there; on her screen was a middle aged man wearing a black hoodie, black mask, and shiny sunglasses. He was standing outside in the rain, which looked a bit like the front garden of Ravens house... Could this be because of the website, or maybe it could of been when someone overheard the conversation at the park?
