The Whisperer

Chap 1

As he was slowly lead closer to approached the black figure, he felt all his thoughts vanish.

-"Whisperer..." said the shadow..

He extended his arms and the man placed the white mask in his hands. The boy's head was filled with a searing pain right as the object touched the tip of his fingers. The figure fell onto its knees as he shouted,

-"RUN, and don't let them find you."

The tall black shadow had now completely fallen, face forward. A trail of blood was visible from behind the body.

The boy stood there as he had no clue to where he was or what had just happened ...

He found himself in a strange dim-lighted room. A man cloaked in a black robe was on his knees mumbling to himself. He lifted his head and observed the childlike figure standing in front of him.

" Kid, what is your name?" he asks.

"Boy" the child replied.

"Boy? What a strange nam..."

"Yes, i know," interrupts Boy, "everyone thinks that my name is strange..."

"Boy" ,he paused,"You are destined for greatness."

"How can you know? A sick person, as myself, can not be great..."

"I know because spe rer the yoreuawhi ......"

The words started to fade. Boy sighed as he closed his eyes. This happens all the time, he thought. He stared at the man, whose face, was now only a blur. The eerie blur smiled and looked as if it was saying something. Boy simply couldn't understand. The figure stood up and grabbed hold of a strange object. The item shone a bizarre pink light. As the man slowly walked closer to Boy, there was a knock at the door. The man swiftly looked at Boy with terror in his eyes.

"-NO. The time is not right, you must lvebe feaore thnd fiey yru, oun and i wise lle you nimt texe i cuupare on j sphape sirit ...." he spoke in a brash and incomprehensible way.

The room started to melt. The walls were dripping of blood. The door was kicked down just as that world started to vanish....

He woke up.

A shiver ran down his spine.

What a strange dream, he thought. That nightmare felt more realistic than before. Always the same room with the same man. Boy didn't understand the reasons behind the delirious dream. He looked at the alarm clock on his desk.

5:30.

He woke up an hour earlier than he was supposed to, just like the days before. Those dreams had to stop if he wanted to stay awake in class.

He got out of bed to get ready for school. He opened his closet door and stared at his awful clothing selection. He pulled a shirt from a hanger and heard a strange noise, similar to an incantation of some sort. Once again, he sighed as he put on his blue shirt with pumpkins embedded on it . He grabbed his schoolbag and headed to the kitchen...

The first thing that appeared before him was a black silhouette of a woman in a white outfit at the counter. The female shape turned around. A smile appeared on her face as she continued to make breakfast. The woman seemed to be saying something. All the boy could hear was a faint voice, like a whisper. Gibberish spout from her words. Boy could only reply with a nod. He looked to the right to see the rest of the blurs sitting down at the table. Some of them were pitch black and some of them were slightly grey. Boy placed his bag next to his chair. He sat down to have what looked like a healthy breakfast. He picked up his fork and dug down to his eggs. He skillfully took a bite out of the potatos. He gulped down his fresh orange juice and munched on his crispy toast. Boy went for another taste. He picked up a piece of fruit and placed it in his mou-

-"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING???" a voice shouted from behind.

-"Um...... Eating breakfast?" replied Boy.

-" What breakfast?" the woman exclaimed in an aggravating tone.

Boy glanced down to where his plate should be but... nothing was there. He looked at his cup. It wasn't there... He quickly looked up to the counter where the nurse was cooking. Nothing. Zip. Nada. The nurse was actually standing behind him. Boy was swallowed by confusion now that he realised that he saw the hallucinations again. The woman placed her skinny hands on her curved hips.

-"It's 5:30 in the morning, she vociferated, why would you be here at 5:30 IN THE MORNING?"

Boy didn't pay any attention to the medic. He was more worried about the menacing shadow behind her. The shadow stared into Boy's eyes. It smiled and wrapped its lurking hands around the nurse's neck. As she continued to talk, a sudden chill brushed her back.The unforeseen cold paralyzsed her entire body, causing her to stop abruptly mid-speech. She felt ominous hands grab her neck. Its freezing fingers slid up her throat and applied a week nudge below the tip of her ear, slightly lower than her jaw. In an immediate dismay, she tried to get free of the shadow's grasp but alas, her unintentional fear caused her to clutch her throat instead of pulling away. The blur slowly pressed harder as the nurse began to gag. He smiled. It presses harder. He made sure the process would be long. The nurse shed a tear. She managed to murmur a few words.

-"Boy....st-stop...." she stuttered.

Boy immediately froze. He looked at the nurse. He looked at his shaky hands. He let go of her neck and he dropped down to his knees as his attendant began to grasp for air. Terrified, she rapidly backed away. She then realised the alarming speed Boy deployed to get on his chair and choke her since he was around half her height. Scared, she then ran to the doctor's office to report the incident leaving Boy alone in the kitchen.

He got up from his chair and wandered aimlessly to the counter. From there, he could hear his nurse complaining on the phone. He passed his hands through his jet black hair and sighed. It happened again, he thought. From the sounds of footsteps, it was quite obvious that the nurse called Doctor Shiva to come take him back. Then, he felt something pierce him as he fell to the ground.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, he saw a man walk in the room wearing a long white lab coat followed by many men armed with what seemed to be tranquilizer guns.

It had never been that bad.

Damn, he assumed,

I'm in trouble now.
