Lost In The Darkness

CHAPTER 004- New member at the party

Dear Diary.
Sometimes word hurt more than everything else in the world. They're like bruises that leave a mark on your skin. And you try to forget them. But somehow they will always find a way to come back at your mind.

Steve's words did hurt. Mainly because... what if I actually was a problem, and they just didn't want to say it.

My dad did say I was a problem, something that needed to be fixed every time.

A burden. A lost cost. A broken girl.

What if there's a problem with me. But I couldn't be fixed, there was something inside of me  that was broken. I feel like I have been cursed and there's no way a cursed could be broken.

There wasn't a way of escaping. No this was it. This is my story. My labyrinth. What am I escaping? The living or the death? What am I running for? Who am I running for? Because if this was the finished line...he has gotten me. There's no way I'm escaping. I'm trapped. I'm lost.

I can't escape him.

No one will escape.

No one will escape his labyrinth of suffering.

'Hey. Alaska could you drop me at Mike's house...there's a new game...we wont to try.'

'Uhm sure. What kind of game is this? That you are so eager to play at seven in the morning.'

'Uh, uh... we're planning...this new game and...we won to try it...before school starts. And then I will go to school with my bike.'

Alaska could tell when her brother was lying. She knew him all to well. And he for sure wasn't going to try a new game. They were planning something.

'Youre bike isn't in my car.'
'Look Dustin. I'm sorry for... not being there with you when Will's missing. And for not hanging out with you like we used to. I'm sorry...okay. I just...I want you to talk to me about  literally anything, even for the most stupid reasons ever. Because I'm going  to be there to listen. I want to listen to every stupid idea that you have in your mind. Because you're my best friend. You're my brother. The person who I’m supposed to look after for.
And I know that you're not going to Mike's just to play games. So... please tell me what's wrong.'

After a moment of hesitating. The young Henderson finally spoked.

'Promise me. That you won't freak out. And you're not going to tell anyone. Not even Miles. Or Steve. Or Nancy.  Because this is a life or death situation. And I meant it. Because what am I about to tell you it won't make any sense.'

And that was it. It felt like my life was turned upside-down. Something I only ever heard stories off. Was real. A creature in a bord game was real. Another world existed. A girl with powers existed. Every thing you watched in cartoons was real.
But there was not a princess or a prince. A fairy, or a protector.
There's just good and evil. And a story to be written.

So here they were in mises Wheeler's basement.

'What is she doing here?'-Mike asked.

'You brought your sister here.'-Lucas said.

'Look. I din't had a choice. And maybe is better she knows.'- Dustin said.

'Better how?'- Mike asked again.

Before Dustin could respond Alaska interrupt there continue protesting.

'Okay. Listen to me you guys. If is true that girl knows when Will is, she will help us find him. And I don't if it's better that I know or not. But if this girl really has powers don't you think some people are after her. And by some people I mean the government will be looking after her. And government equals armed man and women. And if the military find us, I hardly think that 3 kids could protect her. Or themselves. So I don't care if you don't want me to know. You guys can't do this by yourself. You need help.'
'Because something tells me that the girl has suffered more than any of us.'
