My Shadow

Chapter 25:

I turned to see my parents coming down the stairs and Mg mother shrieked and came towards me. "What on Earth happened to your head??!!" I smirked and expalined what happened, leaving out my dream. Don't want to be sent to an asylum do we now? She took a look at my now sealed wound and thanked Zach for stitching it. Still frantic seeming she told me to go to sleep, apparently I looked as if I needed it. She added, chucking to herself, "Use your bedroom this time. maybe you wont hit your head this time." I rolled my eyes and climbed up the stairs. Not like I'm missing out on a party.

Once I crawled into bed a sudden wave of sleepiness hit me. My legs began tingling. Falling asleep, that's what that feels like. Huh.

My eyes began feeling heavy and I allowed them to close and let the wearying-ness take over. I fell into a deep sleep.

I was in a field, there was a heavy fog all around me yet I knew were I was. I smelled the air and in horror realized that it was not fog but smoke. I waved my arms around frantically trying to see what was happening.  An ear-piercing gunshot made my ears ring. I continued waving my arms and instantly regretted my decision. There before me, on the ground, were two bodies oddly positioned. With further inspection I saw they were both dead. One shot, and the other stabbed. Two males. I gasped. I took a step back and fell over something. Another body. I screamed, two bodies. The faces were so familiar. They were dead as well and the female had dirt caked on her face with a single line of might brown from were she cried. She was holding hands with a male. My head exploded with thoughts then numbness hit me. These ar- were my parents. I shakily stood and I could hear no more, the world suddenly went very slowly. I looked around and burst into tears. The ground was covered in bodies. There was blood everywhere. I could not stop shaking. The next thing I saw brought me to my knees. I saw both of Tyler's parents. They were alive. A man then came behind him with a darkness to him and then .... he stabbed them both. The faces were disoriented, so much pain and relief at once. They buckled over and landed on the ground. I couldnt breathe. The One. This day. Nonononono. The mass killing. No. I couldn't grasp the cold hard reality. My parents lying dead on the ground near were I was and watching Tyler's parents murdered. It was all to much. I heard a faint rustling behind me but couldn't find the strength to turn around. "Ah, so we meet again, young one." God I knew that voice. I'm screwed. "You shouldn't be here now should you?" All I could let out was a faint shriek. He laughed. And I heard the sound of gun loading. Oh God. I turned around to face My Shadow.
