Henry's Monsters

Words from Shadows

Chapter 8: Henry P.O.V

I put away the alcohol and cotton swabs and then watched Chloe stare at nothing for almost half an hour before I decided to wave my hand in front of her and she looked at me scared. Any time I got near her she would tremble and crawl away. I tried to make things a little less, never mind things could and always will be untrustworthy because I murdered her boyfriend.

One time I was sitting on the couch and she was leaning against the wall starring at me.

"Why did you do it?" She asked I looked over at her gave a weak shoulder lift then faced the fire again. "Tell me! Why did you do it?" She said almost in tears.

"I can't trust anyone anymore" I answered she gave gave a pathetic laugh as tho she couldn't believe it. "So murder is the best option!" She yelled at me. "My sister was murdered in this house by a guy we thought we could trust!" I yelled at her and her smile faded she looked up at me I held back the sore filled tears.

Gracie entered the room and smiled at me.

"What a beautiful fire Henry, I love you" Gracie said and fell to the floor. I looked away from her and screamed holding the back of my head and tried to pull my hair out. Chloe watched me scream and she grew scared.

"Henry? what's wrong!" She said and stood up. I glared at her.

"Everything! This fucking curse! My sister! Me! Even you Chloe! that's what's wrong I constantly see my sister die before my eyes every single day and that will get to people sometimes! I see the people I murdered 24/7!" I yelled at her and stood up and backed her into the wall. Her heart was racing her eyes starred at me. "I want to die!" The last words left my mouth and she pushed me away.

"Then kill yourself!" She screamed in tears. But the way she said it was not like she meant it more like a suggestion.

"I tried!" I said and showed her the cuts on my arms and legs one on my thy. "I tried but every time I don't bleed! it's almost like I'm already dead!" I said and fell to the floor on my knees.

Chloe stood in front of me her eyes of pain and sorrow filled with tears. "What now you're trying to make me feel sorry for you! I will never forgive you for what you did! Never and this game you're playing needs to stop!" she said and ran back up to her room.

Ashley appeared with a smile on her stitched face.

"You mad me a monster. But you're the monster at heart Henry" Ashley said I turned around to face her.

"You shut up you whore! I saw the true nature of you when I saw you that day so shut up!" I said to her and she screamed at me.

"I'm not a whore! I had done nothing! You murdered me in cold blood! All because of a curse you claim to be under. If Chloe really knew what you are or why you murder people she could never trust you!" Ashley said and vanished.

I could hear Chloe pacing back and forth up stairs.

Then I heard a voice speak off in the darkness of the hallway.

"You can't let her leave! You can't let her leave! You can't let her leave!" It repeated over and over and over again.
