Say My Name ➳ Isaac Lahey

fourteen

ELEANOR'S POV:

I caught my breathe whilst I was backed away from the bed. What was wrong with him? Why was Isaac under the bed?

I leaned closer to the bed once again and lifted the sheets up. Isaac seemed to be crept up into a ball and his face was buried into his knees.

"Hey Isaac," I whispered. No reply.

"Isaac focus on me okay," I whispered again.

"No, not the freezer not the freezer please," he spoke quietly with his head still buried in his knees.

"Isaac, nobody is gonna put you in the freezer," I said to him calmly and reached out my hand to stroke him.

"NO," he protested. "DON'T TOUCH ME,"

"Isaac it's me, it's me Eleanor,"

"NO,"

"Please Isaac you're scaring me, come out of there," I said with a tone of fear in my voice. I was scared, I had no idea what was going on with him.

He lifted his head up from his knees and looked at me with his big blue eyes.

"El?" he questioned.

I nodded and a small smile appeared on my lips. "Yeah, it's me,"

"What just happened?" he asked looking around at his surroundings under the bed.

"Believe me, I have no idea," I said and offered him my hand.

I pulled him from under the bed and got him up on his feet. He was still covered in the same cold sweat.

"So you don't remember what happened?" I asked him and looked around the room.

"No," he said and shook his head. "Where's Boyd?"

"Uhm, I don't know," I answered and crossed my arms in front of my chest.

"We should go find him," Isaac said and placed his hand on my shoulder.

"Yeah, we should. He seemed very weird before,"

"What do you mean by weird?"

"Well, he seemed very aggressive and it didn't really seem like Boyd was being himself,"

"What do you mean like me? Like how I was acting,"

"Yeah kinda, you definitely weren't yourself a few minutes ago,"

He grabbed my hand into his and we headed towards the door, but before we went out of the door I stopped, making Isaac stop aswell.

Suddenly I felt a huge pounding in my head, that hurt like hell. I pressed both of my hands against my ears.

"Eleanor, what's wrong?" Isaac said sounding slightly panicked.

"He is coming for you,"
"You are the one they are after, run girl run,"

I heard the voices again. This time they seemed like someone was saying something straight into my ear.

I fell to the ground onto my knees and buried my head into my hands, still pressing my hands against my ears.

Isaac got down onto the floor with me and placed his big hands onto my cheeks.

"Love, what is it? What's going on?" Isaac asked sounding even more panicked.

"Please, please make it stop," I yelled.

"Ssshh El, calm down,"

The voices kept saying the same thing over and over again, the voices getting louder and louder every time.
