The Mental Disorder

Chapter 9

They're chasing me again. I don't know who but I know they are after me. For what? I have no idea. I'm in the woods and running for my life. Literally.

I hear whatever it is behind me. Every step it takes, I run harder and pump my arms faster.

I heard a helicopter nearby me somewhere. I couldn't outrun that. So when a dart flew down from the copter I didn't try and dodge it. They would've gotten me eventually anyways. So why not get it over with?

Everything went completely black. I saw and heard nothing.

I woke up completely and utterly dazed. I was in a room that smelled of rust and death. I was sitting on a chair with my hands and ankles tied behind it. The ropes were too tight to wiggle free so I sat there and waited.

A door suddenly opened and light streamed in.

"We need to talk." A booming voice demanded.

"You could have just called me on my phone, you know. You didn't have to capture me like some type of animal." I said smartly.

"We need your gift." The voice said ignoring my comment.

"Um. What gift? I'm a perfectly normal person."

"We have been watching you Jade Hemmingway. You have predicted every death that has happened in your town. No one listened. The next day they're dead. We don't have any concrete evidence that you're the one killing all these people, but if you are we'll catch you Jade. Though we have reason and evidence that you have some sort of gift. We can't let you spread fear in masses amount of people Jade, it will create chaos and we need power. We are the government of America. We will find a way to take your gift away from your use. We will find a way. Even if it means killing you."
***********************************

I woke up in a cold sweat. The dream, it was back, and more scarier than ever. It was 3 in the morning and I didn't have a clue of what to do.

Should I get up and get ready for school even though it's still a couple of hours till it starts? Or should I watch T.V. and entertain myself somehow.

I didn't have to make a choice because I blinked and was out again. I woke up two hours later when I heard whispering. I pulled my knife from under my pillow and grabbed my phone.

Yes, I keep a knife under my pillow, I need to defend myself somehow.

I walked up to my door and put my ear up against it. The whispering wasn't near my door at all, so I quietly pulled my door open. I followed the whispering and kept the knife close to my face. I followed it out to the front door. I looked out the peep hole and found Andrea. She was speaking to someone. I couldn't see who it was, but I opened the door and pulled her inside. I closed the door and locked it.

"What are you doing?" I asked her harshly. My heart beating crazily.

"I was talking to my friend!" She answered with tears in her eyes.

"Um I didn't know you had friends yet. Who was it?"

"Her name is Daisy." She said unlocking the door and pulling it open.

My eyes where met with darkness. No one was there. "Dree no one is there sweetheart, maybe you should go to bed because we don't do that devil shit up in here."

She looked at me like she was going to start bawling. But surprisingly she didn't and she walked to her room, giving one last glance at the darkness in the hall.

A little scared I closed and locked the door again. Then just for extra measures I kept a chair under the knob.

Maybe she has a imaginary friend? But she is such a smart girl, so someone had to have been on the other side of the door.

I looked throughout the peephole and I jumped away from the door. Someone was definitely there. I ran back to Dree's room and flipped the light switch to find her in bed.

"Who's Daisy and why are you talking to her at 5 in the morning?" I asked in a rush.

"I met her in class yesterday, she was talking to me and I think she wants to be my friend. Why an adult wants to be my friend I have no idea. She probably wants to get closer to you or uncle Raymond. But don't worry I'm smart enough not to let her. And I'm a light sleeper and she knocked on our door. So I opened it. And she started talking to me about who I lived with and personal business but I kept it very vague and didn't tell her much. She was wearing all black and she was very pale, and she looked really sweaty." She explained not taking one breath at all.

Her description matched what I saw through the peep hole exactly. Except she looked a little angry. "Um, okay Andrea let me tell you one thing. Yes, you may be wickedly smart but you are still a child and naive. And they will take advantage of that. So promise me that you'll stop talking to Daisy and be smart about what you say and do. This weekend I'm going to take you to a self defense class, but get some sleep and don't talk to anyone else. Okay? I love you." I said as I turned off the lights and walked out.

"I feel like a mom." I mumbled as my face hit my pillow. The moment my alarm blared loudly. "But I just closed my eyes." I looked at the clock.

6:20.

Well it felt like I just closed my eyes. I did my morning routine and was dropped off with Dree.

"Do you want me to take you to your class?"

"Yes please." She said in a cute voice.

I did as she said and I noticed a couple of parents where staring at me. I just ignored them and told Dree that I loved her.

I went to my class and got ready for hell to start.
