The Silver Alice

Chapter Two Worries

I jump upon our bed and stretch across it.
"I am so tired," I yawn
"Don't be," Akiko said, " Because we still need to preform."
"I don't have any formal attire, nor my instrument," I moaned
"Then what do we do?" Akiko asked.
"I dunno'," I yawned, "I'll lay here, you can go.. I-if you want."
"Fine, I'll stay here too," Akiko chimed, " And besides, we both know you gotta be supervised." Akiko smiled at me, I rolled my eyes and put my head in the pillow.
The lights started flickered.
"What was that?"Akiko asked looking at me.
I moaned into the pillow, "The lightbulbs need to be changed."
"Makes sense," Akiko hopped onto the bed and turned on the T.V. He was half way through watching master Chef Jr. when a loud crash came from outside the room. The crash made me jump because sudden, loud noises frighten me, but, I could tell Akiko was more scared.
"Wh-what was that?" Akiko stammered.
"I dunno, why don't you go see?" I stated raising my head out of my pillow.
"You do it," Akiko argued.
"But I don't wanna," I whined
"Your closer to the door."
Realizing arguing would never work, I moaned, "Ugh, fine"
I slid off the bed and opened the door, Which then I closed behind me. I look to my right to see a knocked over table with the remnants of an old Renaissance pot.
"Oh, someone just knocked over the table," I thought to my self.
The hallway lights flicker as I get a chill down my spine. I hear someone humming the tune of London Bridge is Falling Down. I turn try to turn around to see who is humming, but instead someone from behind grabs me and covers my mouth. I try to scream and kick and flail, but I can't move. I feel something stab my back and blood oozes out. My mouth is held tighter where I am forced to lean back to feel the cold, spine chilling breath on my neck.
