What Lurks in the Cellar

Chapter 6

Fiora 

everything had happened so fast. the bus fight, Susan coming telling me i had to follow her, Will saving me, Will and everyone else seeing her i obviously couldn't be going mad. after all i wasn't the only one. Will seemed to know her which, to me, was most odd. it isn't everyday where there is this hot Scottish boy in my closet, and frankly my parents had no clue. they usually never went into my room and it was even more odd if they were to go looking in my closet. after i had been bandaged up i was taken to Dr. J, which i found quite ironic. 

my parents told him all about what had happened and today i really didn't want to be there. i wanted to go home, curl up in my bed, ask Will questions if he knew Susan. but no, i was stuck here. 

my parents soon left me and i sat quietly in Dr. J's office. he didn't say anything, and neither did i. i can tell you that it was really awkward and he would occasionally sip his ice tea, which at this point i wanted to slap out of his hands. after a long ten minutes i sighed. 

"So you're waiting for me to make the 1st move." i asked. 

"Yes."

"Well, what do you want me to say?" i asked.

"I heard from your parents that  you saw Susan again, is it true?" he asked setting his drink down for the last time. 

"Yeah, so what?" i asked. 

"well tell me about her and not the basic tell me the real deep stuff. " he said pulling out his tiny apple computer. 

i sighed, talking about Susan is my best and worst subject. but i started anyways knowing how Mr. J, can hold up a fight. 

"I have seen her all my life. she is always in my dreams. when i was younger her name was Milly, she was just like me and i could have sworn that she spoke to me and played with me."  i said 

"Played what?" he asked.

"Dolls, duh, what do other little girls play! are you going to interrupt me every time i take a breather?" i asked. 

he shook his head and gave me a stern look but nodded for me to continue my story. \

"It is weird to say but she is like my best friend. she has always been there and the days she isn't getting mercilessly tortured i like to tell her about everything that is going on. what else is there?" i asked.

Dr. J, nodded and typed away. after a few minutes of him typing he looked up and smiled to me. 

"What about your new school? you liking it?" he asked.

"yes,  i already have new friends! Austin, Chris, and Adolf!" i said happily.

"Do they know about Susan?" he asked.

i froze. this was a dangerous question that i didn't like answering.  i started at the floor part of me wanted to lie and say they did and they supported me but i knew that if they knew i would never fit in. i already had too many experiences with people i had told them about her. i looked up at Dr. J. he could sense my tension but smiled anyways. 

i pulled a stand of my hair and twirled it around my finger, i really didn't want to answer. i looked up at him sweetly and batted my eyes.

"You really don't want me to answer that." i said.

he smiled and nodded.

"We will come back to that question."

Dr. J's visit was longer this time and i had to fake my parents calling me so that i could leave. i texted my parents telling them i was walking home. i went thinking of Susan and of Will. it was weird to hear so much about Susan in one day. i was also very sure that i wasn't the only one who had seen Susan. Will seemed to know too.
