Cold Blue Eyes

Chapter 5: Shadow Creature

My parents are shocked when I tell them about what happened today. I have to buy Harley a new phone or else his parents might press charges. Oh, and I have to have my car repaired, but none of us has money for that. Great. Now I can't drive for a while. We already had to pay to it get towed back home, which was pointless 'cause I have to take the bus to school, now. Yay.

But not yet. 'Cause right now I'm suspended. Therefore, I mail Harley his new phone.

River is not answering my messages or calls. Those dip-shits ruined everything. Now she thinks I'm some drunk ass hole.

This internal pain pinches my heart. I long to see River's cute face with those large goregeous eyes. I imagine having her in my room. We sit on my bed together as I wrap my arms around her.

A dark figure sits in the corner of my room, but I've grown used to it. It sits there every night, but it never moves. I've decided that as long as I don't do anything to piss it off, it'll leave me alone.

I'm not gonna lie- a twisted fear still seeps into my blood every time I see the creature, but I've managed to calm down a lot within the few days that it's been here. Not sure why it's here, but it has left me alone. It's fine, I guess, as long as I keep control of my nerves.

My dreams have becom more vivd. They feel so real that I wake up feeling like I'm still inside the dream. Fortunately, I haven't been screaming, so my parents don't know... But... I don't wanna sleep ever again...

So it's one in the morning and I'm reading a gay book to distract my mind from everything. From time to time I glance at the corner at the shadowy creature. It seems to be watching me 'cause its head is facing my direction. Shuddering, I look away. I don't want to anger it.

Something falls down outside my door. I shut off my music and lay the book down. Cautiously, I turn the knob of my door and open it up. The hallway is empty.

I travel downstairs for a snack. When I open the fridge, it is empty. A single loaf of bread lays on the counter. What the hell... I swear I had food...

Something catches my eye. A door that I've never seen before stands before me. Curiosity urges me forward although the voice of fear echoes heavily in my heart. As I turn the handle, I cringe.

The door slams behind me. Terror causes me to jump. I pound on the door calling for help. "HEEEELLLLLLLP!!" I yell at the top of my lungs, but nobody hears.

A light bursts on, stinging my eyes. It is a hazy yellow color. In the corner of the room sits the shadowy creature that was in my room upstairs, so I instantly shut up. It locked me in here. If I piss it off, it'll kill me.

My whole body shivers. Presentimnt flutteres throughout my shaking body while naseau and dizziness take control of me.

A closet sits inside the room. I pull it open. I jump away with horror, for there stands the corpse of the woman that I only see in nightmares leaning against the wall as rosy liquid pours down her frozen body. Her eyes snap open and her head turns toward me. She pierces me with a frozen blue stare.

Now I can't keep calm any longer. I screech with all hell. Thick, murky liquid floods into the room from no where.

Constantly I scream and yell. But nobody comes. Alone.

I struggle to swim through the substance, but it is so thick that I can hardly move. Now I'm panicking, struggling even harder... Something grabs my legs and yanks me under. The substance flows into my throat, suffocating me.

Beep. Beep. Beep. I wake up to find myself choking on my blankets. Throwing them off, I shut off my alarm clock, wondering why I had left it on. Oh yeah. This is the day I go back to school.
