The Paranormal 1

Ch.28

*Alex Pov*

I was walking in a dark forest, it didn't look like mine. It was foggy and sent a chill down my spine but the air around me was warm. Warm? How is it warm? It's winter how can it be warm? Something ran by me, I jumped and turned around looking for whatever it was.  An evil, bone chilling laugh filled the musty air. 

"Hello, you must be my host's boyfriend." said the voice, it seemed to be coming from all different directions. 

"What?" I wispier. Just then the ground under me fell. I landed In a pool of hot, sticky liquid. My nose filled with a metallic scent.  I tryed to scream for help but I couldn't.

"Well it looks like you got into a sticky situation." The voice echoed with amusement. I dropped again. I landed on hard ground. I sat up rubbing my head. There was dried, dead grass in my mouth. I looked up to see a grave stone. 

"What..." my voice trailed when I saw what my body was covered in. Blood. The pool was blood in my brain. I realise the grave stone had my name, I backed away, my breath shaky. "What is this?" I said barley audible.

"Well this is your grave."  The voice said matter or factually, like this was something that happens every day seeing your own fucking grave. I backed into something. Not something but someone. I turned to see who I bumped into and I nearly jumped out of my own skin. The thing was at least 12 feet tall, gray ashy skin that hung off of its body, hollow, and sold back eyes. Its teeth were jagged and yellow, covered in blood. And its eyes from what I could make out were staring straight at me.  I ran away. Or as fast as I could (which wasn't fast at all). I was going 1 mile per hour to give you an idea. I could hear it behind me, then its clawed hands closed around my neck. I clawed at its hands. 

I woke up with a start. I was sweaty and shaky. I calmed myself down and picked up my phone. No texts. I set my phone down and went to the kitchen. I made coffee but I was to shaken up to drink it. All I could imagine was the pool of blood I suffocated in. My hunger was nonexistent. I went to my room and replayed my dream. It was very disturbing. I wanted to go into the forest but I was scared. All the things that happened in my dream and in real life just ruined it for me. I could for the life of me step into the forest. I didn't want to be alone, I thought about asking my dad but no, not know. I thought about Taylor, no, they're hanging out with Zara. Quinn? Sure I don't think he's doing anything. I went to his house and around to his window. I knocked on it, Quinn jumped out of his bed, he looked like he just woke up. He looked over to where I was, and I waved. He walked over to the window and opened it.

"what are you doing?" He asked in a hushed voice. 

"I wanted to talk to you." I said He nodded and grabbed his boots and coat then hopped out his window.

"Watsup."

"Are you okay?" I asked touching his face. His eyes were red and puffy. Was he crying? I wondered.

"I'm fine." He said moving my hand. He had dark eye bags. 

"You sure?" I asked.

"I'm fine," He snapped. I was taken aback. "sorry, I'm just tired." he said looking down. ashamed.

"No, I pressed just I just wanted to make sure your okay."

"Well I'm fine." Quinn said his voice strangely distorted.

"Okay, just let me know if you need to talk or something." I said. I thought I was imagining stuff but it looked like a black smoke was coming off of him. 

"Okay," He said his voice was cold. We stood in silence for a while. He looked like something was bothering him. I wanted to ask but I didn't want to piss him off anymore. "so you wanted to talk about something?" he said breaking the silence.

"I don't know," I said wondering if I should tell him about my dream or not. "it might not be a good time."

"Why do you think I'm not okay?!" He said throwing his hands in the air "I'm FINE!" Then more black smoke emitted off of him. I took a step back. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" I yelled. it didn't seem like he was talking to me. But to a voice that only... he .... could hear. Shit. I thought. I slowly advanced to him. My hair blowing around wildly from the miny tornado forming around him. Their hands were over his ears. His eyes locked on me, not his normal eyes. Glowing white eyes. He fell to the ground, and slowly the tornado died down. It was now just me and Quinn, his hands buried into his eyes. I slowly advanced. I put my hand onto his back he looked up at my tears streaming down his face. His eyes were slowly turning normal. He hugged me and buried his face into my chest. I hugged him back. 

"I'm- s -s-s-sorry," He said in between sobs. I rubbed his back and told him it was going to be okay, and that he's safe for now. We stayed like that for it felt like an eternity. After word my shirt was soaked.  Quinn got up and saw the state of my shirt. "Sorry come in let me get you a new shirt." He jumped onto the window seal and slid back into his room. I did the same. and went over to where he was. He grabbed one of his shirts. A black tee with a tree on it. I put it on and sat down on his bed with him.

"Do you need to talk?" I asked him. He slowly shook his head. "let me know if you do, I'm always here for you." I said standing up and kissing his forehead.

"Do you need to go?" He asked in a small voice.

"Yeah, I have to make lunch for me and my dad. He's coming home for lunch today." I said grabbing my wet shirt. "sorry." I got onto his window seal and kissed him goodbye. then hopped out and went to my house.
