The Truth Hidden Within

Two nutter alike?

Finally at school everything was okay, I could actually concentrate! Yet again, something strange happened. I was in the library reading a book about animals sat on a comfortable chair. Jake came around the corner his eyes locked on me,

"I know what’s happening,” he said in a deep, intriguing, mysterious voice.

"What’s happening?" I replied confused about what he was talking about.

" I know what your going through , you need to be told, I’ve hesitated to long and you'll get hurt" he spoke , "I’m going through the same thing as you, I guess we have the same sort of .....Power if you would say it that way" When I heard this I instantly knew what he was talking about. My heart leapt a quick beat.

"But ho...." I was interrupted.

"I followed you, I know, I’m sorry, but I’ve been going through this a lot longer than you, it seems you have only just found your power. I had to see if you had the power to see the premonitions, to see if you were the next slayer" Jake replied in a whisper hoping that nobody would hear him.

"What! , slayer , look Jake I think you got the wrong person all I know is that there is this girl called Lucy she’s missing and she’s being kept in some sort of cave in Darterson Woods and I have to save her before she gets killed by something that bites me , okay!" I replied a little too loud,  

" oh yeah and now I’m sure of it I am going mad , this is all like a nightmare or something, I need to get out of it, because a slayer is a person who slays ........ Vampires unless your suggesting something else, and they don't exist so, there, I got, my proof"!

  Luckily there was only one other person in the library who seemed too engrossed in their book to even notice our discussion.

  "Well basically I have the same premonitions by the sound of it, and yes by slayer I did mean vampires, think about it ... That’s who lives in the lair Hayley! That’s what bites you! That’s why children are going missing, the vampires are taking them and eventually going to kill everybody so they can take over our world, and I’m meant to save you!" He spoke getting higher and louder in voice, “and it seems you’re the next slayer, that happened to me about a year ago!"

"Whoa! Sorry you just invaded mythical world , I’m outta here"

I walked as quickly as I could out of the library and headed for the next lesson trying to get away from him.

"YOU GOTTA BELIE...!"

Then the door shut and I could hear him no longer. What a nutter I thought, maybe I am as well that's why I’m seeing this stuff?

 

 

     That night when I got home from school, I began to study at the kitchen table. The phone started to ring so I quickly jogged to the phone, which was placed, in our living room on the wall. I picked up the receiver.

" I know it sounds mad, I know, but it's the honest truth, you have to believe me please, I can't do it without you our world will die out and so will we" Jake said rattled down the phone.

The front door swung open and my mum walked in, I hung the phone up as quickly as possible , shaking a little from the phone call, I had just received.

The ghost had started bothering me again now , around every ten minutes so I times it and closed my ears when I knew it was coming, but I couldn't put up with it anymore , I knew it was never going to stop. I had to tell somebody, I was now thinking there was more of a chance I was going insane , along with Jake of course.

When it was teatime and we were sat at the table with dad , who had just got home from a tiring day of work , I asked a risky question.

"Do you believe in ghosts?" I asked with interest.

There was a long silence apart from the clattering of knifes and forks on plates .

"Well no Hayley we don't , why you ask?" dad replied in a soft tone.

I nodded my head

"Just wondering"

" What about if there was a ghost ... that was bothering you all day telling you to do things and not leaving you alone?"

Another long silence possibly longer than the other

"Hayley don't be stupid , stop talking nonsense and eat your dinner" Mum replied sounding a little annoyed.

"Well then how come it happens to me , huh , can you explain that ?" I answered loudly .

I stood up from the table.

Their faces did not show happiness but anger. They knew I would never act up , now I had , maybe they'd think I was telling the truth . I just needed to know if this was all fake or real.

Mum did what I knew she would , booked me in with a psychiatrist. I was about to find out the truth, was I mad or is it all real?
