Hannah (Book One)

Chapter 56

I let Aiden inside my house.

I could tell he was looking at my drawings around the walls.

"Would you like anything to drink?" I asked.

I'm not a very good hostess.

"Uhm, water would be fine" he said.

I went to the kitchen to pour him the water when I saw Isobel getting something from the fridge.

"Hannah, something bad is going to happen" she said staring at the cup of water in my hand.

I placed the cup on the counter behind me.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Hannah, don't you feel it?" she asked.

"No? What are you talking about? Feel what?!"

"I have to get out of here! Wait until I leave!" she said disappearing.

"You okay?" Aiden asked from the living room.

"Yeah" I replied bringing him the water.

I couldn't help but think what Isobel was talking about.

What did she mean?

"Where's the bathroom?" Aiden asked interrupting my thoughts.

"Oh, uhm it's right through that door on the left" I said directing him.

He smiled and got up. To pee.

Wow that was really weird.

I was looking around when I felt a sharp pain in my stomach.

It grew worse within seconds.

Milliseconds.

I immediately dropped my cup of water on the ground.

I was forced to hold my tummy with both my hands.

I began wincing and crying.

Then, my heart began to ache.

Was I having a heart attack?

Was I going into a cardiac arrest?

No. No. It's still beating.

It grew worse.

Then, it happened.

My throat pushed on its vocal cords.

My voice was shaky.

I screamed.

I didn't mean to.

I didn't want to.

I didn't even do it.

It's like the scream screamed by itself.

It was one of those banshee screams. Oh no.

"AIDEN" I yelled rushing to the bathroom.

I saw his foot sticking out the door.

He was lying on the ground right next to the bathtub. He was bleeding.

"AIDEN!" I yelled shaking him.

"AIDEN! PLEASE ANSWER ME!" I kept yelling.

"ISOBEL!"

"ISOBEL!"

I saw her feet right before my eyes.

Her arms were crossed over her chest.

"I'm sorry, Hannah. I had too" she said.
