Why Me?

The Telling

Dear diary

I am Alyssa, and I had it all, a super hot boyfriend, popular group of friends, a mother who loves me to bits.  

Sure I wasn't rich and I didn't have a dad but I was happy without all of that. Being popular isn't always perfect, I mean I was popular and I lost everything that mattered most to me in one night.... The night I almost died....  After the sun sets you can never be truly safe...  Anything can change in one simple night, one night that ruined everything.  

Moving, or should I say running away from your problems is never how You should deal with your problems, however my mother thinks differently.  

My name is Alyssa Cassadee I have been cursed to never be happy...  Why me? Well I will never know, WHY?   I can only say I only know HOW.  I can't blame no-one else but my self.

I was the captain of the cheerleader squad, which was one of the things I was good at and part of the 'popular group' in school, girls wanted to be me and guy wanted to date me, but everything changed since the accident...

I had what people would call a NDE or "near death experience" and i keep reliving the experience every time i sleep and its horrific, and here's how it goes...

Me and my group friends, went out into the nearby forest, for a camping trip, girls only weekend.

All the girls were arguing about who's gonna give Emily the dare, from truth or dare. I have always felt sympathy towards Emily she was the 'innocent' one, the 'smart' one, the 'cheeky' one and the 'truthful' one in our group of friends, she rarely picked dares but everyone always pressured her to choose dare.

Whilst they were all bickering I went out to go for a toilet in a bush, it was pitch black I couldn't see a thing, luckily I had a little pocket torch.

Wandering round alone in the dark isn't the best way to keep safe, but I desperately needed to pee, whilst going around a bush I was attacked by a mysterious figure.

All my friends wandered in thought, wandering where I had gone off to and when I'll get back, I could see it in their minds as a film, that was always a strange feeling but a good strange feeling I had no idea how I could read their minds but I could and it had always freaked the hell out of me.

I was taking to long so they all decided that one of my friends would come and check on me, that friend was called Emily, that was her dare but when she screamed in horror and that startled the rest of the girls, they automatically jumped out of the tent to see my body at the bottom of the lake with my head cracked open and cuts all over my body, open deep wounds and i had a bite mark on my neck and yet Jason my boyfriend was there hugging Emily trying to comfort her, but the big question was why was he there? but I could see myself in Emily's mind the shape I was in it was horrific, the thing is, is that i can read minds, so since I was little I could read everyone's minds and I can tell how anyone is feeling if they are sad but didn't want to show It, I would know.

My friends called up the police and ambulance, as they waited in shock hugging each other staying far away from my body as possible.

I was passed out but I could see the shadow behind the tree, hiding behind the hectic scene they had just caused and I even heard Emily's scream in horror inside my own mind over and over again as if I was reliving it again and again.

The figure came closer to me, my friends didn't notice the fact that the figure was standing right there beside me, it was a man, he crouched down and rubbed my head, his hands were ice cold as he was gently rubbed my head staring straight into my deep eyes, his aura I couldn't see for some strange reason but when he touched me it felt like death, I couldn't believe this was happening to me of all people, what did I do to deserve this? I couldn't see his face only his eyes they were sea blue and mysterious. His whispered something in my ear but I only caught some of it "god is.....you....kath....? No....you have a pulse....do....look so....like...?" he looked down embarrassed, he looks lonely like he is longing to find something to live for in this cruel world or someone.

I was still looking at him as he looked up over at the trees at the ambulance sirens blared out, his eyes were red with a ring around them like he had been crying then silently out of nowhere a tear flowed gracefully down his right cheek bone in sorrow then suddenly his eyes turned black and then he bit his wrist and put it to my mouth, what was he doing to me? Making me drink his blood? I tried to resist but he was much more stronger than me especially because I was dying, I felt myself near to death, but suddenly I felt so much more better the figure had disappeared and my head really hurt, the ambulance came as quickly as they could to find I had no wounds...just a head ache and I didn't remember what had happened.

They were getting suspicious about the worrying call my friends had made, I didn't want them to get into trouble, but I also didn't want to be labeled the mental girl if I did tell the truth, I mean come on look what happened in the horror films, they say 'if you tell the truth we can help you', but they will just give me medication and say I have a extraordinary imagination and I don't want that.

They had a discussion with us about lying and how childish it was to play that trick on them. After that they called all our mums to come a pick us up Emily called me that night to make sure I was alright and she told me what had happened. I didn't believe what had happened at first...
