The Attic

Chapter 12

      I woke up the next morning getting shook by my mom.

        "Whaaat." i asked her madly. Why did she have to wake me up?

        "What are you doing in my bed?" She looked confused.

Oh, right i forgot about last night. I scanned my whole body. No scars, no cuts, no blood. My mom gave me a puzzled look.

           "I-i must have slept-walked." I pulled the blankets over my head as she walked into the bathroom. I didn't, i mean, i want that ghost out of my life. I am desperate. I got up and walked into the bathroom. I brushed through my hair and then brushed my teeth. I wanted to hurry because i didn't want that ghost to appear in the mirror again and then come out of it and chase me. I finished and headed toward the kitchen to find my waffles sitting on the counter ready for me to eat them. I smothered butter and syrup all over the waffle. I took a bite and the taste spreaded through my whole tongue. I was enjoying every second of it. It was the best waffle i have ever had. I took another bite and it felt like it tasted even better.  I gave a relaxed look.

  As i was walking my mom interuppted me.

        "Sweet heart we are going to go camping tonight."

i was happy because i haven't gone camping in years. I was very excited. I just love being outdoors.

        We finally arrived in the middle of the woods. The veiw was absolutly georgeous. Nature is the most beautiful thing. We were in a very crowded spot, but it will do. We were only going ot be here for the night. My mind was tooken off the the ghost. I was very smiley. I loved taking trips to the woods. Spending a day in nature is lovely. I am a nature kind of person. When i grow up i want to sell flowers. That's the only thing i am really interested in. When i was about 6 i wanted to be a astronaut but, you know how that usually turns out. I don't want a job where it has to do with math. Math is my weak subject. I am strong at science and social studies.

           I pulled my hair back and put it in a pony tail. I didnt want any hair in my face because there is a lake nearby and we were going to go fishing. I grabbed my fishing pole and a bucket full of worms and headed out. The weather was chilly but it was really nice; a nice kind of chilly. We went on the dock I threw my line in the water.

          The first ten minutes i had no luck at all, yet my mom had caught about five fish already; why do i always had the worst of luck. Minutes later i left. i caught no fish at all. But my mom ended up with eleven fish total. I decided it was getting late, even though it wasnt and i tried to fall asleep when it was like seven o'clock. But i was pretty tired, i wasn't sure why i just kind of was.

          Later on i was in deep sleep. I must have been super tired to fall in deep sleep that fast!

In the middle of the night i woke up. There was really loud noises. like, unusually loud which kind of creeped me out, considering we were in the woods. Then the tent zipper unzipped. I was terrified. But thank  god my mom was sleeping next to me, but that doesnt mean she will wake up that easily. I could barely see anything, considering it was like one o'clock in the morning. But did see a little out line that traced out the ghost and it was in my tent. I heart stopped pounding I could barely breathe. It was soo creepy. I felt her get on top of me, pushing me with her incredible strength. And a saw a silver shine of a knife. I saw it get closer and closer coming to my throat. I tried to move but i wouldnt budge. I screamed to the top of my lungs to my mom. She woke up right away but when she did the ghost was gone. I didn't know how i could make her believe that i was telling the truth because i was, she just didnt see any of it. It made me feel angry. And a little upset. I just wish some how i could show her or tell her. It was so annoying. I couldnt fall asleep seeing that so i stayed up, wide awake and it wasnt that hard because i couldn't bare to fall back asleep.

          The sun was rising up and i saw the knife that the ghost had right next to me. I didn't know what i was thinking but i was going to kill myself. At least do it myself and not get scared to death. I gripped on to the knife and moved it slowly and closer to me without any regret, when, of course my mom wakes up. And stares at me speechless.
