Henry's Monsters

Grasp of reality

Chapter 7: Chloe P.O.V

In a sudden movement of fear I sat up and my heart was skipping so many beats. I was back up in the room and Aidan wasn't next to me. I prayed it was a bad dream and it never happened.

"Aidan?" I said and waited for an answer. Then footsteps walked up and I hide behind the bed and crawled under it. My heart was racing and I tried to maintain my breathing. The door opened and Henry stepped in only to be surprised I wasn't in there.

His eyes widened and he started to search the room. I saw blood covering his hands and all over his shirt.

"Oh God! Aidan is dead! It wasn't a dream!" I screamed in my head. Henry went running out of the room and I found my chance to escape. I slowly ran out to the stairs and saw the door way. I ran and my finger tips grazed the nob, but arms grasped around me and held me back.

I kicked and screamed. He put his hand over my mouth.

"Shut up its not like anyone can hear you!" He said and I remembered we were in the middle of no where. I stopped screaming, but continued to kick like a mule. I got lose fell to the floor turning around to nail him right it the face with a high kick.

I then kick him straight in the gut and he fell forward.

"You stay away from me!" I screamed at him and opened the door. The car was only a few feet away. I ran like there was no tomorrow and there probably wouldn't for me if I didn't take this chance.

I almost took a step off the porch when something grabbed my heel and started to pull me back into the house. I tried to grab hold of the pillar, but it broke and I was dragged into the house again.

I looked at my leg and saw a dark shadow covering it and when it vanished deep claw marks were left behind and I started bleeding. Then a sharp pain ran up my leg and it hurt so bad. I grabbed hold of my leg and Henry tried to stand up. I saw his nose was bleeding and he held his gut.

He looked at my leg and looked shocked then ran to another room. He came back with rubbing alcohol and cotton swabs. I pulled away from him and tried to get away.

"Stop moving or it will kill you!" He said and grabbed hold of my leg. He pour the alcohol on my leg and it burned, I screamed he took a cotton swab and cleaned up the blood around the open wound. The alcohol bubbled and black substance almost like dirt escaped the wound.

He cleaned it up and wrapped my leg in a huge bandage.

"Don't ever try that again!" He said and stood up.

"You can't keep me here!" I yelled.

"It's either that or death by a demon!"

"What?" I said confused.

"This house is haunted! Okay! Anyone who enters it's walls can't leave or it will pull them back and infect them" He said and I looked away.

I don't believe a word he says at all. Then I saw a shadow pass the fire place. I shuttered and stood up.

This is not reality I want to wake up home in the arms of Aidan he can't be dead. He just can't be it all happened to quickly.

Henry sat down on the couch.

I opened the door only to see a empty abyss.

"What the hell is that?" I said and saw a dark entity standing before me.
