Visions

I had a what!?? (11)

Hearing the opening of a door; I put my book down and rush downstairs to find my mom putting away the groceries. "Mom, Can I ask you a weird question". She turns around and gives me a weird look. "Sure, go ahead honey", she says turning around, continuing what she was doing before.

I take a deep breath in and say it "Who is Katie?" her body stiffens and freezes in place upon hearing the question. She doesn't answer so I ask another question "Is she my sister, or should I say was my sister".

My mom faces me, sadness in her eyes, she opens her mouth to say something but I stop her by saying "Why didn't you tell me I had a sister", I feel a tear roll down my cheek. "How did you find out?" I scoff at her words.

"You wouldn't believe me even if I told you".

"I will I would believe you. I believe my children" This makes me scoff even harder.

"Well then if you say so, lets see if you believe me then.... I found out because I had a dream about it, I have been having dreams about her since the day I hit my head and moved here. In the dreams an unknown thing is tormenting her. In one of the dreams it shows you and dad arguing with her, where she tries telling all this but you don't believe her. Wait a second I thought you said you believed your children mm mm.... now what would you do if I said that EVERYTHING that happened to her, has been happening to me huh..." I show her my wrist and her face is horrified.

"Nicole, please listen. She committed suicide because she was going crazy and she couldn't take it anymore.."

"OH MY GOD, JUST STOP THERE! All you think about is having a perfect family, with nothing weird happening in them. Well guess that's not going to happen. You... you are so blind sided by what's actually happening and what has happening. Something killed Katie okay.. She didn't kill herself, and that SOMETHING is after me too, and you better accept that"

"Nicole, calm down. You are just hurt by the fact I didn't tell that you had a sister and now you are trying to make up some type of crazy story to make yourself feel better".

I have had enough; I stormed out the room and went into mine. I go into the bathroom, and wash my face. I feel something poke at my wrist; I bring up my wrist to my face. There is a black thing on it; I poke at it and start pulling at it. A long black string is being taken out of my wrist; I can feel it moving inside my skin. I throw the thing on the floor to see it start crawling away.

Was that inside me? I look at myself in the mirror, my hair is all over the place, I have bags under my eyes, my skin is pale, I look sick. I turn the tap on and splash water on my face. I dry my face with the towel and go to my room. I lie on my back on my bed facing the ceiling. I close my eyes and try and take my mind of things. I think of tomorrow's school and Hunter. I don't think I can face him, not after I told him, ugh. I rub my eyes.

The lights start flickering. I sit up and see Katie in the corner of the room, motioning me to come closer. I get up and sit next to her. I give her a hug and she hugs me back, my tears start flowing and they aren't stopping. Even if she isn't really here, I don't care. "What should I do?". I ask breaking the hug. "Get rid of Hunter, the thing will hurt everyone that's knows and believes you. Trust me I know"

I nod in response. "What's gonna happen to me?" She stays silent, which gives me an answer already. A few minutes of silence goes and she finally says something

"Nicole, you need to fight this. You need to be strong. I don't want what happened to me to happen to you. You are older and smarter, don't make the same mistakes I made". I look her in the eyes one last time before she disappears. I break down in tears. She didn't deserve this, no one does.

Its been three hours since I found out I had a sister, and my heart still hurts. My head hurts from all the crying, and honestly I just want to sleep but unfortunately I still have to finish my homework.

I'm sitting at my desk, doing my English homework. In front of me is a window, slightly opened. A small breeze escaping from it, I shiver as it hits my bare skin. I bend over the table and close it. Another breeze hits my skin, I look up and see the window is closed. Where is it coming from? I turn around and see the window behind me is open as well.

I get up and close it, returning back to what I was doing before. Another breeze hits my skin. Okay now im getting annoyed. I get up and search the room for open windows.

All of them are closed. Wait then where did it come from? I feel a rush of wind behind me I turn around. There's nothing. A resounding bang echoes through my ear as my bedroom door shuts. I spin around; starring at the door, there is a slight crack in it.

I freeze listening, it's a pin drop type silence. The lights start flickering. I look around for a place to escape but find none. I walk to the door and try and open it, it wont open. A strong forceful wind hits my back and I fly through the air and hit my head against the wall.

My ear starts ringing again; I can hear my head pounding. I take a deep breath and get up to be thrown across the room again. Tears start rolling down my cheeks, rubbing them off with the back off my hand the lights burst; glass shattering across the whole room. Someone help me please, I need someone. I start crawling away to be pulled by my feet. I scream in terror.

I struggle with all my power from the things grip. I become free and jump up and run to the nearest window, trying to open it but its locked. My whole body is pulled back, and I hit the wall landing on all fours. I get up and start pounding on the door, kicking at it. "HELP, please...". I'm lifted into the air, spun around and thrown against the mirror, the glass shattering. I lie on my back, the glass digging into my skin.

I will not give up. I get up once again to pulled away under my feet, and with a bang my head hits the ground. Darkness fills my vision...
