I climbed onto the bus in stunned silence, nervously looking from side to side as I sat at the back of the bus. The bus slowly pulled up to my stop and I walked quickly off, avoiding eye contact with the bus driver. I forced open the rotting wooden fence and ran inside to my house. My Father greeted me in his usual drunken slur and my Sister was locked away in her room as usual.
I entered my room and collapsed on the bed, instantly burying my head in my pillows and started to deny everything that happened an hour ago.
What has Violet meant by she'd been sent to protect me? Who sent her? Why would I need protecting?
I guess she'll just tell me later on I said trying not to think about it, and getting my headphones out. Just before I pressed play on my phone I heard a tap on my window... I cautiously open my window looking out upon the dull and damp view of the back garden. I went to close the window before another stone got hurled through, it barely missed my head and smashed my picture frame into tiny dangerous fragments. I went to pick up the picture, carefully brushing off any shards of glass and placing it on my bed. I heard a thud on my window sill and turned around.. a dark figure was crouching on it. It looked exactly like what the boys did as they were dissolving, but seemed to be stuck like that. A dark eerie scream emitted from the figure and after followed a scratching noise, like nails on a blackboard, as the words 'BEWARE THE SHADOWS' were engraved into the window. The lights went out in my room, and when I turned them back on.. the figure was gone, and in its place, was Violet.
