Painkillers

Old Memories, New Feelings

I woke up to the front door slamming.

'Mom must be returning home.'

 I stumbled out of bed and head to take a shower. Today I decide to wear a batman tee-shirt with plaid jeans and my black and red hoodie, along with my ears and bracelets. I took my backpack and packed it up with the things I put on my list. I also decide to bring a whole bunch of candles with me. And I know its cliche but I also took a thing of pepper spray, my salt, and my book.

I've had the feeling someone has been watching me since last night. Not like I'm going to need them since I walk around with two very dangerous knives on me, but I can never be to safe.

I do live in a town that has its own citizen's murder almost every day or every other day.

I told my mom I was heading out, she grunted like normal and I set off. I took the path for about half a mile then walked away from the path into the woods. I did stumble up on my new hang out. I walked in to the main room and started unpacking. I put four candles in each room and just to be safe I put a line of salt connecting each room. I also put a line of salt in front of each door of the rooms that I claimed.

I don't know if I'm worrywart or just being stupid. I plugged in my charger and placed candles on the tiny table from the other room. It's quite calming here actually.

I took my favorite book 'The Book of The Undead'. Which it has some creepy parts but the main character dude is really funny. I sat in one of the chairs I brought in from another room and started reading my book. I finished my book and got bored so I decide that I would go exploring pass my little club house.

The woods around here look like they have paths leading somewhere. I took the path closes to me and it took me to what seemed to be an abandon apartment.

'What the hell is an apartment doing out here? Maybe this use to be part of the town?
Well since I'm here I guess I'll check out what it looks like inside.'

I reach in my pocket and took out my knife. I kicked the door open. For some reason I feel like someone is watching me again. I turn around looking around the area to see if someone was near by, but there was nobody.

I guess I must be paranoid. I walked into the old apartment building. It seems like people have been in here. I walked up the first set of stairs and notice that there is blood all over the walls.

~Flash back~

"Luna get back here, you bitch!" My dad yelled chasing me up the stairs.

He's been abusive my whole life, but this was new for him. He had a broken bottle and was swinging it around.

I ran to secret stair case and he chased me down them too. He finally got me cornered in the basement hallway. I screamed and screamed but no one heard me.

I tried blocking his swinging bottle but he pinned me down and cut into my mouth, my neck and even across my stomach. I felt dizzy but when I looked at my blood something clicked inside of me. I started laughing at the pain he just caused me. I watched as my father's face twisted in confusion. I kicked him off me and stood up.

I cough and some blood came out but I laughed even harder. My father ran back and stood up holding the bottle in front of him. I noticed the steak knife sitting on the table that I left when I was opening up a box.

I picked it up and started towards my father. He started running up the stairs but didn't get very far. I caught up and slit the back of his ankle. He started crawling up the stairs and I let him get pretty far before I sliced up his back. He collapsed to the ground in pain. I kicked him.

"Come on you pussy! Get up and run!" I screamed at him.

I watched as he reached for the wall at the top of the stairs. I waited for a bit, but then decided I messed around enough. I ran up the stairs to him and grabbed him by his hair and lifted him up.

"I'm sorry but the oceans are calling for your blood. The oceans may deep but my knife can go deeper." I said before plunging the knife multiple times into my dad's chest and stomach. Shoving my hand into the hold I made and ripping my fathers heart out.

~Flash back over~

I was back in the apartment stairwell. I shook my head trying to get that memory out of my head. I started holding my stomach and my face, laughing..

'No! No not here, not now! Please I'm begging you.'

To late I stabbed my knife into the wall and dragged it cutting the bloody wall paper. I walked up the rest of the stairs laughing and dragging my knife across the ugly walls.
