The Demon and Me (EDITING)

Chapter 1 - Nightmares

      Same night again... My only chance is to run away. Those white demons again, never get tired of enclosing me and be chained. Torturing me every minute, not letting a second pass by without seeing me in agony.

     So I ran in the woods again, hoping that I might get away this time. . . . .

*Huff* *huff*

       My legs are aching but I need to keep running, before they could catch up and return me back inside that horrid place. . . I'm so tired and thirsty, I haven't eat nor drink for days but.... I have to ... I don't have any choice to get out. . .

   ~what I've done wrong?, I'm just a mere child. . . Innocent and young. . .

why they wanted to kill me ? WHY? Why me?~

     Tears started flowing down on my cheeks.

     I'm still running, I don't know where am I now. I just wanted to get away from that mansion. I must get away... back to my home.  . .Mom and dad. . . 

"Aaaah !" I fell. It hurts...

      Now, wounded and weak, I can no longer stand and run. Hot tears flowing from my eyes, makes my vision blurred. 

  ~at least, I out ran them.~ 

"I know I saw her ran  this way" said a voice.

~They're here?! No! They musn't find me~

    The sound of his heavy sneakers walking on the muddy leaves echoing in the dark woods. Their grunts and heavy breathing, like they were panting after a long run, were like poison in my ears. And their steps are moving closer. . . I must hide..

  I crawl behind a huge tree and hugged my legs so they couldn't see me. My hands are slowly balling into fists,shaking and my body is trembling.. Terrified to be found.

" I know she's here somewhere "  he said.

    Sitting there being quiet and still. I didn't move a finger. Trembling and cold, I feel.

Suddenly, everything went quiet. I can no longer hear the foot steps. Only the sound of the crickets cricking, the branches slowly moving because of the night breeze, and the whisper of the wind giving me the chills. I felt cold. 

~are they gone?~

    I slowly went out from my hiding place,as to my surprise that they were there, waiting for me to get out.

"Please, spare me. Please, let me go " I begged.

   They didn't answer, they just grabbed me with their tight grips. I winced.

" It hurts! Please stop !. . .  "

   They started to drag me back to the mansion... That place, those punishments, the merciless demons.

"PLEASE, please.. I don't want to go back ! ! ! "

"SHUT UP YOU PEST ! ! " then, he slapped me and punched me in the stomach.

    I gawked and spewed blood. The agonizing pain, slowly devouring me. Making me weak as I fell to the ground as they continously drag me.

"SOMEONE PLEASE, anybody help me ! ! !"

"I told you to shut up !" then he punched me again.

    I cried, feeling helpless. Then, they started to loosen their grips. It's my chance to run. Before I could stand, they already caught me, I only ended up tied in the middle of the yard in front of the mansion.

~are they going to leave me here?~

    Silence filled the air, as the other guy went inside the mansion and soon returned with a sword in hand.

    The air suddenly escaped my lungs..

~They're going to kill me ?!~

"Please I begged you, please spare me. I've done nothing wrong !" I started to beg.

"Please ! Mom ! Dad! help me !"

    The two acted like they can't hear me, laughing maniacly.

"SOMEBODY HELP ME!"

    Then, the guy raised his arm with the sword in his hands. Then he. . . .

 

"AHHHHHHH !"

    I felt the pain as I landed on the floor..

   'Shit! It's just a dream..just a nightmare..' I thought to myself as I slowly sit, feeling the hard floor of my bedroom.

'Why does these nightmares keep haunting me?.. It gives me the pain!'

   I slowly stood as I fixed myself to my bed, wincing at the pain. Morning sunlight shines bright across my room. I lie down, flooding my mind with the same thoughts and questions that would never be answered.. Mysterious nightmares haunting me every night in my sleep, making me restless. I sighed. Having these crazy thoughts about my nightmares wouldn't help.

~RIIIIIIING~

   The sound of my phone rignging snapped my thoughts. I picked it up to see my best friend is calling.

"Good morning there lazy head. Ready for the greatest day of your life?!"

"Jeez Sam! You don't have to yell, I'm not deaf you know.. And of course, I'm always ready." I smiled

"Great! I'll meet you at school. There would be a surprise!"

"Let me guess, the school is cancelled because you sabotaged it" I joked

"Oh how I wish.. But no, just get your butt up here. You're late"

"Okay Okay."

   I hung up then, glanced at my clock. Yeah, I'm late again, the usual. So I stood up then rushed myself to the bathroom.

   I smiled 'This would be a hell of a day.'
