Only In Nightmares

Chapter 9

As I lay on my bed, waiting for Kellin to return, I try to avoid the thought of Mitch. I'm a prisoner held captive by his image. As my eyelids grow heavy sleep overcomes me.

In my dreams I can see a silhouette of a man and woman. With each image the woman's lower torso starts to budge out more than her previous slim figure. Nothing else is enlarging. And that's when it hits me, she's pregnant. Suddenly a white slash appears on her new large body. The slashes continued until the woman lay on the ground in a pile of white goop. Out of her slashed belly outcomes a walking creature with a pure white silky body and black eyes. it runs after the weeping shadow of the man.

And then I woke up.

My room was pitch black and all that could be heard was the faint sound of mating crickets. I then rolled over transitioning my weight to the other half of my body. My clock read 2:57 so I decided to close my eyes again and try to rest.

When I woke up again I heard a group of hushed voices downstairs. I quickly untied my morning bun and fixed it to look a little more presentable. I was coldly greeted by two cops a crying Oli and parents who tried to act like they cared. It's funny how they show up when the outside world gets involved. They want everyone else to think their the perfect parents. But it's okay, Oli and I know they are most definitely not.

As Oli rushed over to embrace me I looked at my mother, father, and then the two cops with a plain expression.

"E-E-Elizabeth I'm so happy y-your okay." He hugged tighter and then released.

"What's going on?" My voice was quiet. Not because I was a quiet person, but because I was clueless.

"Excuse me," the cop out his hand on my shoulder forcing me to face him "are you aware of Kellin Quinn's whereabouts from around 7:30 last night until early this morning around 2:00 mama'?" The stern voice intimidated me and made me tense slightly.

"No. No, sir. Can I please be notified on what is happening now?" I was getting anxious, two cops asking if I knew where he was last was freighting. Something happened to him, but I wasn't being told what exactly.

"When was the last time you talked to Mr.Quinn?"

"Last night before he left to go to his house and pack a fresh bag." I was getting annoyed now and I didn't care on choking it down. Everyone could tell because my mother gave me a look mixed with disgust and 'you better watch yourself'. My brothers sniffles and sobs were faintly heard, therefore I assumed he made his way to the bathroom for privacy.

"Do you know where he was going?"

"Jesus," I took a quick, loud sigh "no! Now can somebody please tell me what is going on here!?"

"I'm sorry to tell you, but your friend has committed suicide."
