Ruby's Diary

Special Child

Ruby's POV ●○●○

This place that I'm in doesn't look like heaven at all. I don't see the light. All I see is darkness. I wish I could write in my diary. It was the only thing that could calm me. Now it's just left in that world, while I'm here in the darkness. But I am not alone in this place. Mommy is here too. I did not want to be here. I didn't want to be in the darkness. I didn't want to even leave the world. How does Mommy love this place?

"We can be together forever," she said next to me as we both peered down at the world, my dead body on the ground. It was like a box of darkness, and a little window to see the world in.

"How do you like it here? It's dark all the time. What will we do?" I asked her, tears forming in my eyes.

"We can spend all of eternity in the darkness. We have each other. You're my special little girl, you're just like me." She told me.

"What about Daddy? Where is he?" I asked while a tear strolls down my cheek. I wished everything was back to normal. I wish it didn't have to be like this.

"Daddy is not here. This place is only for the ones with power. The power that only you and I share." She whispered in my ear.

I began to cry softly. I do not want to be trapped in this dark place forever with Mommy.

I reached through the window outside of the darkness and into the world. This place separating us from the real world. I want to go back.

"Ruby, I have some things to show you. I think you might want to see." Mommy grabbed my hand, and whenever I used to feel an icy, cold sensation from her touch, I don't feel it anymore. I feel nothing at all. I guess this is what it's like being dead.

Instantly, before I could blink an eye, we were already in the real world. A rush of happiness ran through me. I'm back in the world! No more darkness! But then it came to me, we were just visitors.

"It's like moving out of a house and years later, coming back to visit. Seeing something that was once yours is now not part of you." Mommy explained to me. "This is the world we once lived in. Our home. Now it's just some place we can visit."

"Mommy, I don't want to live in that dark place anymore. I want to go back home. To this place." I said, about to start crying but tears just don't come out anymore.

"I had to save you from living a horrible life like mine. You see, we have something different. Our lives are dangerous in the real world, here. I lived a life of sadness and I know it's from my curse. The curse we both live, I gave it to you when you were born. This curse ruined everything I had in my life. I had to take you away from it all before it did the same to you." Mommy told me.

I was trying to take in my surroundings. I was at the last place I could remember. The place I died at. An ambulance was parked out front of the police station. The sirens were heard from outside. There were loads of officers and a few paramedics. My body was carried out by the men on a stretcher. All that was left was a pool of dark blood on the ground. My blood?

"How did I see you and hear you when I was alive?" I asked.

Mommy smiled. "Because you're just like me. You're my special child. You have the same abilities as me. You were born to be exactly like me. That's why I needed you to join me in the darkness, us together. I cannot have you living in this world like this. I can't have you live a life of sadness like I did." She told me.

"Why did Daddy kill you?" I asked her, even though I had a strong feeling that I knew why.

Mommy looked down at me. "Because he couldn't handle the fact that I was different. That I had powers. He didn't know you had any, but he knew I did. He suspected you were the same, and you are. And he killed me." A smile formed on her lips. "But that's okay. That's when I realized, I really didn't need to be alive. We are supposed to be dead. We have something.. different."

Suddenly, my vision went blurry and suddenly all black. I couldn't see anything. I tried to scream but I couldn't even do that. I couldn't hear my screams. Then I saw the kids who were pushed out of the bus. The kids who died violently; a murder.

"Why did you kill us? We did nothing." The voices of the kids were heard.

"I-I didn't kill you guys! It was my Mommy! And she didn't mean it, either." I told them and they didn't look moved at all.

"No. You and your mommy are the same. If she killed us, you killed us. Don't defend her." They said, and then their faces disappeared. Then my Daddy's face appeared.

"You and your mother deserve to be dead. But even that's that enough. You deserve to be in Hell for all of eternity. You are demons."

I was shocked hearing those words from my Daddy. I wanted to cry but I can't. Then the visions stopped and Mommy was in front of me.
Mommy held her hand for me to take. I was hesitant to, but I did anyway.

I am just like Mommy. Why was I so sad hearing that? Every girl wants to be just like their Mommy. And I am her special child. We have the same powers. Every else is just mad. But that's okay. I am her special child.
