Chances Given

Chapter 6

i still lay on my bed in shock of what had just happened. just then i realized that during all this the cat didnt seem to be on my bed, nor the room. i sat up out of my daze.

"c-cat?" my voice croaked.i then luckily heard a small reasurring "mew"  from the other side of the room. he probrably hid in the closet, i would too if i were him.

the cat then emerged from the closet knowing it was safe and leaped onto my, soon i heard footsteps in the hall and ashely rushed into my  room.

"mina are you- what happened your bleeding!" asheley said surprised.

it was real. this was no dream. there was no way i could tell ashely about this. shes probrably expecting the cat did it. what could i possibly say to her?

"mina?" she knew something was up. hearing me scream then comes into a room to find a girl in shock staring at the floor, blood dripping from her cheek.

"what did this?" ashely asked examaning my cheek.

"i...... i....." no words could possibly describe what just happened to me. no lie could make up for it either.

"lets just get this fixed up..." Ashely said still trying to get some sort of clue. she led me towards the bathroom and fixed up my cut. the whole time all that went through my head was that creatures voice, a voice that would never escape my mind. never ending questions as well. what was it? how did it manage to come in? why did it say for me to join them? join who? i had no answers for these questions so there was no point in even asking them. i put those thoughts out of my mind and thought of what lie would make up for this cut. maybe she would let it go.

"ok, lets just get this straight, do have any idea where this came from? why did you scream? was something in you're room?" she questioned me. there was only two answers for this. i could tell the truth, or i and just say that i didnt know what caused this.

" i.... had a... dream of mother..... and...." i choked down the word of who i didnt ever want to mention, what other lie would make up for this event. ".... malcholm. thats why i screamed. i dont... know where this cut came from, i might have scratched myself in my sleep." that wasnt a complete lie though, in the past i have had several horrible dreams of my parents and brother, so it wasnt exremely hard to believe.

" ok well...... just try to rest... the cut isnt to deep, it wont take long to heal." i got up knowing that she belived me and found my way to my room, i had to put some thought into this.

goblin, ghost, demon, devil even, i dont know. being blind was a burrden at these times, if i could have seen it, i could have got a more secure guess. i was lost. confused. even more exuasted than when i went to take a nap in the first place, i would go try to figure things out tomorrow. until then, sleep is what i needed.
