Small towns hold the most secrets, some more dangerous than others. What happens when people start to be murdered or others begin to go missing? The police don't know who or what is killing these people. Amy is just a 16 year old girl who even in he...
It had gotten dark and still I hadn't risen out of bed or done any of the work required of me. Letting out a huff of annoyance and inwardly chiding myself at my procrastination. That thought that caused be to blank out came back into my mind and buried my head in my pillow as I contemplated it.
Who was that? Maybe I have amnesia. If I ask Mom about it she won't give me any answers about it. She'd just say I was being silly or foolish. So, was I just making it all up?
My head was staring to burn, and I opted for pushing those thoughts out of the way, instead crawled under the covers of bed.
I'll just do the work in the morning.
Reaching out I shut the lamp light off.
Dream-
I can't see anything, why is it so damn dark?
I couldn't hear anything past the sound of my own breathing, just silence hung in the air, if you could call it air.
I'll just try walking then, maybe that will get me somewhere.
In the darkness I put one foot in front of the other then repeated the action, but it didn't seem like I was making progress. "Lovely. Just peachy." I mumbled in irritation.
Clink.
It was a small sound like a metal bolt dropping on a glass floor. Curious I almost turned around but the scraping sound that seemed like nails on a chalk board made me twitch and cringe.
Clink, clank, whirl.
It sounded awfully like a machine full of whirling gears, of rusting parts that clicked begging to be cleaned, and scraping claws. It felt like it was all behind me, so I wouldn't look behind be.
" Oh, hi friend!" I said with a quiver. "You want to be my friend?" The voice was raspy, rotten, and smelled dead. "That was a slip of the tongue, I really actually don't want to." I said hurriedly and with a vigorous shake of my head, even though I couldn't see. The sound of whirling gears stopped. "Um, so bye." I ran. A scream shrieked somewhere behind me.
"I'm all you have." The voice rasped, "Those aren't your friends, they hate you." I stopped sprinting in the dark. "That's not true at all."\
"really? Every else you went the kids laughed and jeered, point fingers and giggle mockingly behind covered hands." Echoing giggles of little children filled the void of darkness along with taunting whispers.
"Poppy, Evelyn, and Lily would never do that." I cried out "They'd never call me mock me."
The whispers grew louder,
"She's looks like a freak."
"She does know Halloween is over, right?"
"Witch more like it, have you seen her weird eye she'll probably put a curse on you?"
"I'm not going near her, you go and sit by her."
I slumped down to the ground. "This isn't funny, Poppy and they others wouldn't do that, they're not like that. Not at all." I clamped my hand over my ears, although it did no good to stop the taunting whispers that steadily grew louder. Except the giggling had turned to full-on laughter.
"Stop it, stop it, STOP IT!" I shrieked. Then suddenly as if I had wished for it, all was quiet, as if someone had popped me in a glass jar and sealed my off from the rest of the nightmare, leaving me in nice silence.
"What am I going to do with you Amy? I don't know who to go to, or how to keep it back?" A different voice sounded around from the void, warm yet doubled and somehow strangely similar... "What?"
"I'm sorry. Looks like I can't keep it back forever. Well at least you've stayed hidden fairly well." The voice said warmly.
"Keep what back forever?" I questioned standing up.
"I don't know what it's called, why are you asking me?" the voice replied in a 'duh' tone.
"What?! Ok, so what do you know?"
"Burritos are yummy, you should eat more of those. Oh, and so is the new boy. Being a big girl, you should know what I'm implying."
"Oh God."
"I mean have you had a wet dream yet? You know they're natural? Growing part of the body."
Sitting down I rubbed my temples "I think the whispers where easier to deal with than this."
"Would you like them back? Your nightmare is still going on, I just secluded you from it."
"NO. I'm fine." I said hurriedly. After a moment I asked, "What do you mean you don't know who to go to?" The voice replied quiet, "I don't have any known people alive or in a healthy state of ability to contact."
"I don't get it."
"I don't expect you to."
I cocked my head, "I also don't know if that was an insult or not." The voice didn't answer, instead stayed quiet for some time before speaking, "Your nightmare is over, goodbye." It said tersely. With a gut-wrenching feeling, my stomach rolled as if on a rollercoaster, and I was pulled away from the land of dreams.
39==//==//==//==
I bolted awake covered in sweat, my long hair sticking to my slick skin, and breathing heavily. My stomach still felt like it was rolling. "That was bizarre." I mumbled to myself while collecting my hair and putting it into a messy ponytail. And in an under tone I added, "'Having a wet dream' my ass. And you know what, I'm not gonna burritos, I'll eat more... Tacos." Pausing as I got of bed. "Actually, burritos are pretty good... But the Taco Sauce Packets in the cafeteria are also the bomb."
I know the YouTube comment section are meaner than my insults... T^T Also I lost an hour of sleep, spring time change... I'm so looking forwarded to it.... no..
