No one understands me

3. What is, what will be, is all about to change.

Daniel lead me down a small alleyway, alot like the one i walked down before i got stabbed to death. But i quickly pushed the thought from my mind away, it only made things worse by remembering. It was dark out, and the rattling of cats and strange noises filled the tiny alleyway making it have a creepy edge to it. Daniel walked in frront of me, stopping just outside a doorway. Pulling the door open i followed him inside, walking me up a flight of stairs.

The stairs took us to a corridor of rooms, appartments. He pulled out a pair of keys and walked to the second room from the right. Turning the door handle, the door slowly creeked open, making me jump. " Sorry, but im afraid your going to have to stay here for a while, give your parents some time to cool off after what happened. Eventually they will just think it was nothing, but you need to give them some time to move on from it just in case. Your safest here with me." He said walking into the dark room infront of us.

Daniel closed the door behind him, making both of us stand in the room together in pitch black for a moment. Turning the lights on, the appartment was small. Holding a small kitchen, table, cauch and tv and then another hallway that had what must have been a bathroom, laundry and his room. It was fairly small but had a relazing feel to it, which made me feel at peace for once.

Daniel walked over to me carefully, slowly, ever so slowly so that he wouldn't startle me. He looked into my eyes, tracing all my emosions and gave an apologetic look. " Im sorry, about everything. I must be hard for you." he said quietly. I shaked my head in confusion. " I dont understand whats happening to me, one minute i'm having a few drinks with friends then i wake up to find myself on the road, my parents start ignoring me and i find weird creeps like you, saying .... ugh i just want to go home." I yelled. While i said all of this Daniel didn't once brake his eyes away from mine. He looked like he felt sorry for me, they he understood my feelings.

He finally looked away and walked out of the room down the hallway. I stood there in silence as i waited for him to come back. Daniel walked back with a pillow and blanket and rested them on the arm of the cauch. " You must be stressed out, if you want you can have a lie down for a while." He said giving a stiff smile. " Thanks, but i think im good." I said slowly. What the hell was he trying to acheive? he had practicly kidnapped me from my family? who did he think he was.

" Look, wanna know why im deciding to help you, why im the only one who can see you?" He said sitting down on the cauch. I sat down next to him awkwardly. " Okay." I said. Daniel sighed and gave stressful look. " Well when i was eleven, my mother died in a car accident. I was with her...and well i survived and she didn't. Then a few weeks after her funeral i saw her appear out of know where. I ran to hug her as i'd missed her so much but i ran straight through her. She didn't say i word, just tears streaming down her eyes." He said slowly. " Im sorry, about your mum." i said resting my head. " Thankyou, but sadly it won't bring her back.. I saw her many times after that, then when i was fourteen i started seeing different spirits, iv'e seen them ever since and the story is always the same. They never remember what happened or who killed them." I started shaking again. He actually had dealed with this before?

" What did they say, did they speak to you?" I said looking at him. " I was walking home one day when i saw this little girl appear before me, she had blood covering her dress and she was very upset. She said she thought her father killed her, but she had no idea what had clearly happened. But i couldn't help her, i hadn't any idea what i was dealing with. So eventually she dissapearded and from then on i was determined to help them, give them maybe even a second chance at life if it was even possible." Daniel looked back at me, giving me a worried stare. " I don't really know what i have to do to help, but i feel like it's upto me to give them a second chance, or help them move on. And look now, here you are..." He said giving a small smile. I shivered and he leaned in closer.

" I know you don't trust me, that's okay, but if you want to somehow figure a way out of this than please let me help." He said serious. " Okay i whispered. " I'll try everything i can, i promise." He said standing back up. " Anyway, get some rest and ill see you in the morning." He said starting to walk out of the room and down the hallway to what must have been his room. " Night." i said slowly. Daniel smiled and walked out of the room.

I got up of the cauch to look at the clock hanging on the wall near the tv. It read 9 o'clock, it must have taken us at least forty minutes just to walk here from mine. I walked to the front door and turned the light off quickly walking back to the cauch. Resting my head on the pillow i shivered again and pulled the blanket over me, but suprisingly i had a full body again, just like any normal human, making the blanket sit on my skinny figure. I closed my eyes, hurting from such a long painful time of endless tears. It felt good just to sleep, thinking of nothing for several hours. No stress.

I woke up on a road, a road that looked very familliar. My vision took a while to come in and suddenly i saw him again, the boy in the hoodie, running at me. I screamed running away from him. Only this time he spoke, yelling out. " You can't escape you stupid girl." I hurried down the end of the street but it was almost impossible to outrun him. Everytime i looked back he seemed to get closer.

" Please, leave me alone." I begged, screams of terror filling the lonely street. The moon shone once again, giving the town that feeling something bigger, scarier was out there. I fell over and he jumped on me bringing the knife to my stomach. I cried in pain as cut after cut was killing me, bringing me closer to death. I knew it was coming, and he just laughed like it ment nothing to him.

" help!" i screamed but know one came. No matter how many times i yelled out nothing came, the town was dead. Warm blood oozed from my stomach, surrounding me in a pool of my own blood. I soon realised there were two other boys and an oler man in his early twenties starring at me from behind when i gave them a quick glance. Why would't they help, couldn't they see i was in pain... so much pain i was dieing. But they were also involved in this digusted scene. I screamed once more but the boy slapped my cheek.

I screamed and screamed and woke up with a jolt. Only a dream i told myself. Tears streamed down my face and Daniel was kneeling on his knees beside the cauch starring at me sadly. " What happened, you okay?" He said. " Just a dream, it will be fine.." But i couldn't stopped shaking.

Daniel slowly took my hand, my palm resting in his. " It's only a dream, try and go back to sleep okay." I nooded and leaned back down closing my eyes again.
