The Sixteenth Summer

Chapter 9

A darkness swirled over me as I fell through the ink black clouds. I screamed a soundless scream as a plummetted towards the ground. I was swept up by two large winged creatures. At first I thought they were huge black and white birds, but then I realized they were people, but with huge black feathery wings. Angels.

One looked almost just like Elijah, and the other looked like a female version of him. I blinked and they were gone, the sky was cloudless, and I was no longer in the sky, I was in the grass looking up at it. Elijah was laying next to me. He smiled and leaned in...

There was a flash of light, and I was standing in the middle of the feild, alone. I was being slowly pulled towards the house by some invisiable force, and couldn't stop. Suddenly I was in the house, being pulled towards the music box. I was closed. It flew open and bats flew out of it. The tiny ceramic ballerina crawled out of the box, cracked face pulled into a ghastly smile. I turned to run, and fell through the floor. The basement of the house was full of dead bodies. One by one they crawled toward me, eyes gouged out, and soudless mouths gaping open. I tried to run but my feet felt like they were set in concrete. I screamed silently as they descended on me.
