Awakening

chapter 4

After that long and tedious conversation about my death and god knows what else, I started getting ready for school as (I was told this) it was Monday. Yay! Monday! (Ahh kill me now). I walk to school, much to my disgust, and that morning I decided to take my iPod to listen to so I didn’t have to listen to the sound of all the questions whirling around my brain. You want to know the question do you? What happened? Why are there 2 days missing from my mind? How did I nearly die by losing so much blood when I bore no marks of being cut?

Once I left the house I walked up the road then remembered something. The only way to get to school from my house was through *gulp* a…….. (Yep you guessed it) graveyard. I walked to the gates and open them as slowly as possible, walked through the gate and stood there for a minute. Then I heard it, form the church; Bells. Church bells. I fliped my phone out the pocket and checked the time. It read 7:45.  Instantly I thought of the fact that the bells shouldn’t be going at this time. They go every hour, right? Then my mind fliped back to my memory, maybe it was just a dream but still it plays back in my mind. Dead girl on the floor. Mother crying. Me in the child’s place. It flickered in my mind again and again and again until I thought 'I'm going to faint.'

Then I saw it, at the back of my mind. I looked closer and closer into my mind at the image of the women kneeling with the girl in her arms. There behind the women in the shadow of the church was another woman. This women was different though, she…she was almost ghostly. I couldn’t see her face but I could see the black clothes she wore, a long Victorian dress. Suddenly I had a headache and I felt sick. Was this just a side effect from the ‘accident’?  What did it all mean!?

To top it all off, I heard more sounds distantly backing with the bells and try to make them out. Was it Music? Yes! The tune was vivid but the words I couldn’t make out. Then It got louder and louder till the world were clear as day:

 '1,2 children in the sun

3,4 children he has a gun

5,6 children there's no where left to run

7,8 children dying one by one

9,10 children no longer having fun'

The song was just creepy! So I shoved my head phones in my ears and blasted my music full volume. My favourite song, radioactive by imagine dragons. At first it worked, I couldn't hear the song at all. But then the music stops completely. I picked up my iPod and it says the songs still playing. What? Just when I thought the situation had reached crazy central 2 things happen. 1- I hear an ear piercing scream, just like the one in the dream form the little girl. 2- The song plays through my headphones, even though my iPod has just died.

As you can imagine I screamed till my voice went hoarse. I also ran. I ran as fast as I humanly possible so if you saw me that day you probably thought I was road-runner.
