When Insanity Takes Over

Chapter 2

I think I'm going crazy. I haven't spoken to anyone in ages, and how does someone know my name? I have never told anyone my name. My parents who were once alive were the only ones who ever knew my name. The person knocked again, resulting in me running to the corner of the house farthest away from the door, when all of a sudden, the bolts shattered and the door swung open, revealing the person in the other side. It was a girl. Average height, dirty blond hair, baby faced--but the one thing that scared me the most was her size. I had never seen anybody that wasn't as thin as me. She didn't follow the ways of society. She was a healthy weight, and her skin was full of color. I looked at myself and saw the unhealthy outlines of bones, and the ghostly whie pigment of my skin and hair. Although I am 16, I have the height of a child, and the weight of half a child. The girl that broke open my door walked into my empty house, that contained only four walls, a floor, a ceiling, no windows, and a single blanket on the floor that I sit on. She walked all the way to the back of the house, and pulled me to the door. "Come outside!" she said cheerfully, with a slight tilt of her head. She just seemed so happy. It was, well, weird. I've never seen anything like this. I just stared at her blankly, as she grabbed my arm and pulled me outside. I brought up my free arm to shield my face from the blistering sun, as she smiled and said, "My name is Eve. Come on! Let's go!" "Where?" I asked, my voice incredibly raspy from not speaking in probably years. "You'll see!" she said, looking behind herself at me, smiling the brightest smile I had ever seen.
