girl in the closet | tinymandyy

a new feeling

~aarla's POV~

I wake up again to the sounds of arguing and yelling. But Asha was screaming this time, screaming her lungs out. Aaron was not screaming his lungs out. He was just screaming. They were screaming about red bull. I'm pretty sure bull means cheese, so red cheese. Will it be gooey and squishy like mac and cheese but just red, or something different? I'm so glad I get to eat red bull. 

I pick up my metal toy from the Useless Dump and start making red lines on my arm again, apparently another word for red is bloody, Asha told me so. The red lines sting, making me shiver. Some red goop start leaking out of my arm. I wiped it off with my fingers. Then I liked my fingers. The taste was good, but a little too... metally. The goo stained my teeth, but Aaron wouldn't care, he never does. 

I was licking my red arm when I hear the footsteps of Asha barge in. I could hear her fumbling with the lock of the closet. 

   "Are you thirsty?", she asked through the gap, not opening the door yet.

   "Yes." I replied, not even knowing the meaning of thirsty. I think it's the same as hungry.

   "Good. Either finish this can... or I'll finish your life." she said, throwing me an unopened can. The can felt cold against my hands, it was the same coldness as my metal toy. I shook the metal cylinder, it felt as if there was liquid inside. The liquid fell from on side to the other as I shook the can again. This was fun. 

I heard Asha leave before I continued to shake the can over and over again before finally putting it down. The can has a little tab on one end. I on pulled it. The tab flew off, landing on the other side of the closet. Bubbles and fizzy liquid flooded out of the can, running down my arm and onto the floor.

I took a sip of the fizzy drink and felt a shock of energy run through my body. My arms suddenly rose up, frantically waving themselves around. My legs suddenly got a burst of energy too, causing me to jump up. I gulped down the remaining half-can of drink like it was nothing before flopping onto the floor. 

I love this feeling of feeling so energetic and ready to jump around! The closet was cramped so I just ran around a little before getting bored... I rummaged through the Useless Dump, hoping to find something fun, but all I found were large chunks of wood with my bite marks, my metal toy, some other metal shards and a cloth.

I got bored so I banged my head a few times on the wall of the closet. My head hurt so I jumped up and started banging my head on the door instead. My stupid brain thinking changing spots would make it less painful. I want to die. I bang my head on the door real hard and I suddenly fell forward... bright light blinding my eyes... fresh air stinging my wounds... the cold floor chilling my knees...
