Trees. That's all I can make out. I'm running from something. But from what? I look behind me and all I see is darkness but I feel scared. I feel vulnerable. Out of the corner of my eye I see a shadow but it wasn't black, it was white. I turned my head and all I see are wings. Beautiful, white, but there's something wrong with it. Nothing seems right when I look at those wings. But the power they have is intoxicating and I can't seem to pull away from them. The wings start flapping and I notice that their is a single black feather. In the center of where they come from. It's a long black feather. I walk up to it and feel the feather but my hand goes straight through it and as I look up I see him.
Water. I feel wet. "WHAT THE HELL??" I yell when I see my brother standing over me with an empty bucket. "You weren't waking up so mom sent me, luckily I found this bucket in the garage tucked deep in dad's old stuff." I can tell he felt bad as soon as he mentioned our father. Dad. It sounds so foreign on my tongue, like I haven't said that word before. Dad. "I'm sorry." He says. "Its fine, don't make a big deal out of it." I tell him while walking out and back to my room. Not forgetting to lock the door behind me.
I made sure the water was steaming hot and got in the shower. I haven't thought about my dad in a while, I guess because everything just seemed so far away. I remember the last time I spoke to him before he died.
*flashback*
"Hey honey, I'm going to bed. Are you really gonna stay up reading that book?" My father asks while peeking into my room. "Yea, I'm almost finished with it anyways. Might as well finish it now. But goodnight, see you in the morning." I told him. He kissed my cheek and left the room. But he left the door open. I sighed and walked up to close the door when I heard talking in the living room. It sounded like my father but he was talking to some man I've never seen before. This man wasn't old but he looked like he was in his mid-40s. I of course had to listen in on their conversation.
"Jack, just give me some time. Please I'll give it to you when I can but please don't do this right now, not when I have my wife and kids here." My father said to the man which I now know that his name is jack.
" Your a little to late, Micheal. I've given you years to give it back and now you want me to give you 'some time'? I think you're well past your limit on that one."
And without hesitation, the man had shoved his hand right through my father's chest. And pulled his heart out. I screamed my father's name and ran out to beat the monster that had just taken my father away from me. But the man had suddenly gotten behind me. He grabbed my arms and told me, " I suppose you'll miss your father deeply but he took somethung that didn't belong to him and thus, he payed for his crime. But the thing I want is still missing and so I must keep up my end."
He then scratched me with his long fingernails on my back and vanished.
