Twisted

Really?!

Valerio's POV;

I hadn't bothered to fall asleep. I've heard a lot from this place. Like in the middle of the night they drag random kids out of their rooms and torture them. I also saw Karen's hand. Her wrist is basically done for. As a fallen angel, it'll heal but still, its in pretty bad shape.

''Who are you?'' The spirit wisperer sounded alarmed.

''Its okay, calm down i'm Karen's,'' I hesitate at first, ''friend.''

She nods, still unsure, but lays down anyways. After a few minutes she falls asleep. I don't know why but I just sense these things. Like the different types of breathing to ensure that you're awake or asleep. I know its weird but I can't explain it.

I sigh and stare at the clock. It was only 3:58. Damn. I did not want to stay here. Today was the wrong day to not bring me phone. All I had was my iPod mini.

I put in my earbuds and let my hair droops over both eyes. I could care less, it's how I like it anyways.

Karen's POV;

''I'm going to catch you.'' A shadow wispers from the fog.

I turn around breathless. I had been running.

''The door opens inward. Both of them do.'' The shadow gets closer but nowhere to be seen.

I couldn't manage to say a word.

''Get him to help you. All three can help. They're your ticket out.''

I look out behind me. Nothing. Not one sound, well except the pounding in my head. Almost like a beat. It was so unnatural that it got me paranoid.

I turn around in the opposite direction. A tall black shadow was standing over me. It was weird. A shadow with no body to exist.

Something shiny peeks out of its back. A knife. My eyes widen and I turn to run again. It was too late, the shadow engulfed me and struck me in the neck.

I remember screaming and sitting up in pain.

''Shit what happened?!'' Valerio took out an earbud.

''Nightmare.'' I touch my neck and feel the pain. It must have been the razorblade.

''Crap you're bleeding.'' He helps me up.

''I'm okay.'' I wisper.

I sit on the counter part of the bathroom and just stare at my bleeding neck.

Valerio passes me a rag for me to wet. I wipe off the blood til it stops.

''Are you okay?'' He whispers back.

I nod.

''Not about the blood, I meant about your nightmare.''

''I'll be fine. It was just a dream.'' Lies.

The thing that I didn't understand was about the doors. They open inward? Also, I need help? This was just messing up my head even more.

''You know you can talk to me.''

''I-I wouldn't know what to say.''

''Its okay. I'm not going to force you to say something that you aren't ready to say. Just settle down and tell me what you're feeling when you're ready.''

I smile for once, ''Thanks.''

He nods and smiles back.

Valerio surprised me, ''I haven't seen you smile in a long time.''

''Well there hasn't been much to smile about.'' He sighs and lets his hair fall over his eyes again.

''Valerio. Come on, you gotta go.'' A voice came from the terrace.

''Halie?!'' He gets up and opens the curtain.

A girl with milk white wings was standing on the edge of the railing, ''Perché si sono appesi fuori con questo mostro mentale strano?''

She talks Italian. Wow, thats a little pathetic. ''Um, yea I know Italian.''

''Sorry about that, Halie can be a real pain.'' Valerio laughs awkwardly.

''Watever. Valerio, we have to go now.''

''I'm okay, i'll wait for Jason.'' He then sits next to me.

''Jason sent me. He's not coming back.''

''I don't care. Either he comes, or i'm the new patient here.''

''I hate it when you're stuborn.'' She sighs, ''I'll get him down here.''

''Thank you. Bye.'' Valerio closed the curtain and sat next to me.

''Why would you do that?! Are you crazy?!'' I almost scream, ''I would have left in a heartbeat..''

''I know, but Jason and you have to work all this crap out. We don't need you to push anymore people away. '' He was right. I always do.

I nod in response and get up for a shower.

''Are you serious?'' he almost gas. ''You're taking a shower add 5 in the morning? Well I shouldn't be surprised you always did crazy things, like sneaking into the principle's office and stealing his keys to his cars.'' He mutters softly.

I can't believe that he remembers. To tell you the truth I was starstruck, which was a bad thing in this situation. It made me shiver, to think that he could remember anything that happened between us, that he could still have feelings for me. I didn't want this to happen again.. Not like last time. I was scared.

''I was crazy.'' I manage a fake smile.

He nods and laughs out of no where.

''What?'' I ask.

''I remember that day when you got your hair dyed blue from the top. and your parents flipped you off in front of me.'' He smiles and stops the music.

''I stayed in the woods for three days and snuck back in at night.''
