The shadow man

Chapter 13, "Just kill me."

I woke up, stone cold. A shiver ran down my spine. I saw dried blood on my leg. How long was I asleep? What happened? I couldn't remember that much. I sat there, waiting. Laying on my back, waiting for what was going to happen. I soon noticed that I couldn't feel my leg, and whenever I would move, there was no sharp, horrible pain. Horrible was the word. I sat there, in a horrible place. No walls, just darkness. The piece of glass was still in my leg. I didn't know why I was acting casually about the piece of glass in my leg. It was just sticking out. Out of my leg. I soon decided to take it out. I tried to move my arm, but it wouldn't move. They were tied behind my back. Why didn't I know that my hands were tied? So, I just sat there. Wondering why. Just why. Why was what I thought. Nothing else. I didn't have my bag with me anymore. If I thought the room with the light and the mat to sleep on was bad, this is way worse. Much worse. I couldn't see the end of anything. I only saw myself, in a total world of darkness.

                                                                   .  .  .

After a few hours or so, I finally heard footsteps. Something was coming for me. The footsteps became louder, and faster. Whatever was making those footsteps wanted something. Maybe me. I didn't know. I just sat, waiting for what was coming. What was going to happen next. My life was like a fairy tale. The excitement, and the scare, the adventure, all rolled into one. One massive book. I then heard the footsteps become louder and louder until I saw him. I saw Jason. Wearing a long, brown leather coat. He was wearing clothes and everything. He saw me. He gasped. I acted as nothing happened. Nothing like this happened. I sat there. He came and leaned down. "Nora, is it you?" He asked with his naturally soft voice. "Who do you think I am?" I said. "Yes! I found you!" He said. He looked at my leg and just stared. "Who did this to you?" He said. "You did." I said looking up at him. "WHAT?!" He said louder than ever. "You stabbed me with a shard of glass and then hit me with a metal bat." I said normally like it was an everyday subject. "What?!" I was at home, trying to find you!" He said trying to defend himself. "Then it probably was the shadow man." I said. "Well, i'm sorry." He said. There was then another blur, like the portals. "UGH!" I scream. "Here we go again!" Jason says. The shadow man then pops out of the blur and comes near us. "I see you have found each other." He says. "GET AWAY FROM US YOU STUPID JERK!" Jason screams. "Shut up!" The shadow man says plainly. "Coming back for more, are you?" I say. "You can't see each other." the shadow man says. Then, the shadow man moves his hands over and over in a specific pattern. Then, a big blur appears and he moves his hand kind of like he is powerfully throwing a ball in the blur. He seemed to be in contact with Jason because a big shadow like kind of bear and he threw Jason in the blur. I then screamed as loud as I could. "I'm done with you!" I screamed. He then moved his hand down and my throat hurt like hell. I couldn't speak. "What did you do?" I whispered after a long time. "What you deserved." He said. He then moved his hand up and my throat didn't hurt as much. "Now, do you want me to do something worse?" He asked. "No, Please! I'm begging!" I said. "Now that's what I want to hear!" He yelled at me. I was scared out of my wits. "Yes." I said. "He then brought his hand across and a big, shadowy ball appeared. "Look." He said firmly. I then leaned a little closer and I looked into the ball. I saw Jason, in the shadowy forest. But these type of shadowy people (sort of like shadowy zombies) were surrounding him. I then saw the zombies attack him and bring him down. They tied him up and threw him in a well. "JASON!" I screamed. I kicked and kicked until I calmed down. "What did you do to him." I said in a serious, deep voice. "He has been taken care of." He said. "Just kill me." I said. I wanted to die. Right now, Right here. I have been defeated.
