Banshee

My ears ring, and my vision comes back to me, I'm awake....Or so I thought.

I'm in the morgue......but everything's cold....everything's ice. 

I exhale, seeing the cold clouds escape my numb lips. What was happening to me?

I bawl my fist to the cold, only to fill my frozen hands with snow. I tremble in fear, and coldness. But, I force myself to get up off of the frozen floor.

When I began to rise up, I feel blood drip from my mouth and nose, excessively. I go to wip at them both when I see her......Beth.

She was lying there in a morgue freezer chamber, and her body still....

I cover my mouth in disbelief, and sadness. I reach for her cold hand, and grasp it with my shaking body.

"I-I'm sor-ry B-Beth...." I say, now coating both of our hands in my wet tears, soon to turn into ice....

But, as I lean in closer, to wipe my tears from her face, it happens.

A flashback.

I was younger, and sat in my room chatting with Jiang and Beth....

Then out of nowhere Jiang's laugh turns into a deep cough. I get up from my bed, concerned. Then suddenly Jiangs cough turns into a growl. His mouth begins to foam, and his eyes turn...yellow.

I quickly run over to him, but Beth holds my hands and says.

"He's epileptic....w-we have to go...." Her words wander, before she grabs Jiang and leaves.

They never talked about that incident again.

Another flashback comes over me

I sigh, wiping my tears from my face, being comforted by Beth.

"Nolan, your sister's going to be fine." says Beth as she pecks my cheek.

"Yeah, hearing voices, and breaking windows.....my parents said if she has another episode they're going to send her to Eichen." I say, and she looks down.

"Beth.....do you know anything about this?" I ask. She laughs, and shrugs.

"Being late to the high school recital, yeah I know so much." She says sarcastically, before pulling my hand.

"I'm serious....Do you ever hear, or see strange things in this town...like wolves?" I ask. She looks frightened for a moment before walking close to me, shaking her head.

"Nolan.....I wouldn't lie to you." She says before lightly pressing her lips against mine. I smile as she pulls me to the auditorium.

"Now, let's go watch my cousin kill his trumpet performance."  She jokes. 

"Right, Danny." I smirk, and she chuckles.

Then we hear it a wail...a scream. But, this scream was piercing, it was familiar.
