KALOPSIA LATIBULE (originally monochrome madness)

CHAPTER TWO

The walls were white, like the floors, like well everything. Wait a minute,The hospital?.
I mean this is a dream of course it is. I can see myself standing in the hallway. I can only see a blurry vision of the scene though. Wait what was that?
Laughter?.
"Whos there?" the familiar voice called, and soon Zoe appeared from behind a wall."nobody special hahahahaha"the laughter sounded like a train-horn, and if this was real my ears would've been bleeding. A gasp escaped Zoes lips as her scared expression starred at something...someone.
I turned around, looking at a dark figure plasstered against a wall like some shadow.
A sudden noise went off behind me and zoes body was stiff. "Zo?" I asked but blood was already pouring out of her mouth. I tried to run over to her but my feet was already stuck to the floor, covered in vines.
Once she fell to the floor the dark shaped figure stood up, it moved into the light I saw what it...he? was.
Zoe's blood was dripping from his dark painted sharp nails. His hair was black, teased up like a bed of knives, his outfit matched with a sharp cone nose, a...a clown?.
I could hear small mumbles of songs which didn't come from the clowns lips. The figure bent over Zoe's body tracing the blood from her chest.
"All around the Mulberry bush the monkey chased the weasel all thought twas was fun" he sang along to a tone, a old nursey rhyme to be more exact.
He looked up to me, staring into my eyes. A small smile tucked on his lips before that chilling laughter escaped his throat showing his sharp razor-like teeth.
"Pop goes the weasel"he whispered in my ear, before I could see him rip open Zoe's ribcage, my screams started  to erupt through the room.

I woke up sweat covering my skin. I pulled my shaky hand through my knotted sweat of curls. It's just a nightmare, I repeated to myself trying to form any sort of calming cycle. I breathed out falling back onto my bed. I pushed myself off from my bed my feet almost caving in from under my weight. Once I got to the front door I opened it to find my neighbours daughter Lilona standing in front of my door.
"Morning miss Veils"she said her stuffed toy dangling from it's arm because her lazy yet tight grip on the creature.
"Morning Lilona" I said before she ran off to her apartment next to mine.
"Alrighty then" I laughed closing the door again after I got the newspaper from the porch.
I threw it down on the counter walking into the bathroom, grabbing a pair of sweatpants and a black tanktop from my closet in the process.
After scrubbing my skin to a tender layer, and washing my hair to its old color in the shower, I got dressed and pulled on my dark blue running shoes, getting ready to go jog before my shift started once again.
After about an hour of running I decided to drive to the hospital only to find about ten police vehicles surrounding the hospital.
"Frank!" I yelled running over to the sheriff, only to be held back by a couple of other police officers."No boys let her through" he yelled and they did as they were told lifting up the yellow crime tape.

"What happened?" I asked once i stood next to him. "Its gruesome Ryan, eight patients,six of them children and an unidentified victim was murdered last night." my breath caught in my throat the exact same feeling I got last night during my nightmare.
"We dont expect you to come look but if your willi..." he began but I was already half way through the doors.
It all seemed to move slow motion the bright flashes and the people surrounding the body moved with my anxiousness.
"Let her take a look" Frank yelled behind me. They moved to the side and I got a great big look. Ribcage pulled apart, what was left of the face scratched into a smile ,carvings made into the victims arms. There was no hair, no scalp for the matter. How can I identify the body. I moved my gaze over to the chain hanging from the neck almost diving into the bloodly mess where the heart would've been.
I felt the sickness move up and down my body as I walked over to Zoe's desk taking her nameboard and holding onto it tightly.
I walked over to Frank and pushed the nameboard tightly to his chest.
I didn't say a word just left the hospital again, bursting into tears as soon as I was out of sight.
"Ryan!"a man who I haven't seen yet before yelled running up to me.
I stopped quickly, wiping away some of the tears that was traced down my cheeks.
