The Four

9

Inside my closet is Ember wearing a killer clown mask. She scared the shit out of me. She takes of the mask and doubles over with laughter. Scarlet opens the door and starts laughing herself, I guess I do look ridiculous. I am standing on my bed with a baseball bat held over my head. 

"Ebony what is going on here? You look terrified by the way."

"Oh you know Ember just scared the ever living hell out of me. Clowns have always scared me to death. How long have you been in there?"

"Maybe an hour give or take."

"Okay well I am going to go to sleep now, so get out."

They both leave, still laughing their asses off. Shitheads. I crawl back into bed and get comfortable once again. Great now I'm not tired. I guess I could take Keahi for a run. Eh why not? I get up and turn the light back on. I take off my shirt and put on an Under Armour tank top and a pair of yoga pants. I put on my running shoes and grab Keahi's leash. I find him under the table chewing on a towel. I attach his leash and tell Jaxson that I am going for a run with Keahi. He tells me to be careful and to watch where I am going. Which way are we going to go? Left or right? Lets go left this time. I start off at a slow jog and build up speed as I go on. I can't go at my full speed because I don't want to tire Keahi out to fast, I am hoping this will tire me out instead. I take a path that goes somewhere off to the right, I don't think I have been down this way before. Time for an adventure. I see a path and go down it. About ten feet away is a dead end, haha just kidding not going this way. I turn back around and continue down the original road. 

All of a sudden Keahi stops dead in his tracks and begins to growl. I glance around trying to figure out what he is growling at. So far I don't see anything. I really hope he is growling at an animal or something like that. I turn back around and start running towards the house. I really really hope it is nothing bad. I run as fast as I can with Keahi running right along beside me. He is a lot faster than what I expected. I stop in front of my house and look around once more. I see nothing but I can feel that something is wrong, something is off. Keahi is still in defensive mode  and looking around. I look around and internally scream, I can't see anything it is to dark. I go inside and lock the door. I let Keahi off his leash and set it down. I have a really bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. It kind of feels like something is trying to emerge from within me. It is different than the time my demon was trying to take control. I can't really explain it, it just feels wrong in a way.

 After a few minutes Keahi calms down and falls asleep. I am assuming everybody else is asleep also because it is very quite and all the lights are off. I kick off my shoes and set them by the door. I think I twisted my ankle the wrong way, it is a little sore. Might as well ice it and see how it feels tomorrow. I go to the freezer and get out some ice. I wrap it up in a wash cloth and sit down to ice it. I still have the worst feeling in the pit of my stomach. I am sure Sophia will know what is going on with me, I need to call her tomorrow. I take the ice off my ankle and wiggle it, it feels fine. I throw the ice in the sink and the washcloth in the laundry basket. I go to my room and get changed back into my night clothes. I try to shake off the bad feeling but I just can't. I climb into bed beside Jaxson and get comfortable. After a few minutes I fall asleep.

Everything is dark. Why is everything so dark? I stand up and stick my arms out in front of me. All of a sudden lights come on. In front of me is a chair, I think there is somebody in it. They turn around and stare at me. I know I have seen that face before. Why do I recognize her so much? She puts her hands out in front of her. In her left hand she has a knife in her right hand she has a flower. What am I supposed to do. I walk up to her and she nods her head at the items. Oh I am supposed to choose one of them, that makes a bit more sense. I can't really do much with a flower so I grab the knife instead. As soon as I touch the knife the air around me picks up. The girl in front of me starts to fade away.
