Clocks

xX-Clumsy Little Mind-Xx

-What the fuck?!- Chris yelled almost chocking on air. -I know right?- I commented.

Chris arrived a while ago, we were talking until I mentioned Malu to Chris. I sighed and looked at him -I'm worried about May-

He hugged me tightly -Relax Chris. You need to calm down-. I got butterflies in my stomach, but I'm used to it. Every time he wraps me in a warm embrace, I feel safe for some reason. I hugged him back, my mind still racing about who the fuck Malu was. Chris kissed my forehead smiling. I smiled back like an idiot.

Chris let me go -Ah well. I have to leave. But don't freak out Chris. Both of you will be fine- he said and left. He was right.

...At least I thought so

I decided to take a long shower to pass some time, so I went in the bathroom of my room. Yeah my house is kinda- well no it's big... GIGANTIC. My family has been rich through 8 generations. But enough about that.

I closed the bathroom door and stripped out of my clothes and stepped in the bathtub, filling it with cold water. My lips let out a long sigh and I laid down on the tub. Letting the ends of the water reach my chin. My head was filled with thoughts, questions, ideas and more

Who the fuck is Malu?

When is my Dad coming from his "business" trip?

Why does Mom barely looks at me and May?

Why is May acting so cheery about Malu?

I swallowed and sank underwater to wash everything away. I went back up and poured some bubble liquid. I smiled as I enjoyed my bubble bath.

I didn't know how long I was in there until I heard May talking to someone

-Yay~! Malu~!-

My eyes  widened and I immediately stood up, almost slipping. -Sh-shit!- I wrapped myself with a towel and slammed my bathroom door open. I quickly slid on random underwear and a nightdress that reached my knees. It was already 3:00 am!

How?!

Did I fall asleep with my eyes open again?!

I cursed to myself as I grabbed an oil lamp and lit it.
I shivered as I slowly creaked my bedroom door open. I looked around.

No one in sight.

I stepped out, my cold feet touching the marble tiles. -Heehee! What should we play today?- May sounded really cheery. I walked to May's room, my breath was already aching. -Oh we can't! How about we play The Bloody Tea Party?-

I stopped dead in my tracks. -WHAT THE FUCK?! BLOODY. TEA. PARTY!??!- I screamed in my head with my eyes wide. I took a step closer to her room. I heard a low creepy distorted voice coming from her room. I felt my face pale. They stopped talking, and I heard the clicking of cups and sipping. Both of them, where giggling. The oil of my lamp was already running out; I've been standing here way too long. The house felt cold. More cold than usual.

The thought that the oil was running out was driving me insane.

Then it started again. The ticks. -Fuck- I whispered barely audible. I heard a crash on my house. I jumped in fear. And me being me, I didn't move at all.

And the oil of the lamp ran out.

And the lamp's light faded away.

-Shit-

May and Malu kept their 'game' as I looked around. The ticks started going faster. I desperately looked around for a light switch. Then I remembered the light switch was where the hallway starts. I tried to walk without stepping nor tripping or anything. I walked to my room like a blind idiot. I opened the door and closed it behind me. The bed same as always, the bathroom light was on like I left it, the window was open--

Wait what?

The window was open?

I walked to it and closed it, definitely forgetting to turn on the light.

I felt breathing on my neck.

I turned around.

-Shit.-
