Our Secret House in the Woods

The Next Chapter

They were blasting music and they were dancing around. Tony was even there. He looked sad as I came down the stairs. I walked over to Lillie, Rose and Ana. All of my besties and told them what went down. Then. I remembered what happened before Sam and I.

"Guys, Can we turn off the music for a second?"

"Yeah" The music slowly turned off.

"I think someone was stalking me while I was in the woods walking around"

"Why were you in the woods?" Tony asked.

"That's not important. What's important is.. that I think it's the Hypnotizers. They we're using a chant that I've seen them use before. It catches people on fire or at least THINGS on fire"

"Why didn't you tell me this before?" Sam says.

"Because..." Sam smiles. "Oh.. yeah" Tony frowns. He knew what was up.

"Well, we have to tell Mom" David says.

I looked at him weird. "Lillie filled us in on everything basically" I gave him a more satisfying look.

"No.. I want to go back out but. I want you all to come with me and hide out so we can see everything and everyone because I know there were multiple. They don't travel just by themselves and plus.. I heard at least 4 or 5 of them" I pleaded.

"Okay but we have to be careful and make sure no one gets hurt" Tony says as he looks as me with puppy eyes.

"To think we have a fucking dance tomorrow" Rose jokes. She laughs.

"They're going to see us just walking out into the woods then you coming out 5 minutes later. They're not stupid. And if you're not stupid then you would know we have to have a back up plan" Tony says to everyone.

"THERES A SECRET TUNNEL! ITS IN THE BASEMENT! I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT LEADS BUT I HAVE A FEELING THAT ITS IN THE WOODS" Sam screams.

"What were you doing in the basement, huh?" He rolls his eyes as I say.

"Not fucking now, Alyssa. We're trying to help you" He gets a little angry.

"Fine. But we're talking about this later. Everyone change. All black" I start to walk upstairs.

As we get into the room, Sam slams the door. "I already fucking told you about Sam and Pam. Why are you still mad at this?"

"You don't think that's a little suspicious? You lurking around in the fucking basement" I scream back at him.

"If you don't trust me, then fucking break up with me.. Dump me out of your life just like you did with Tony!" I start to cry. He really went there.

I picked up a knife and slit my own throat, right then and there. I collapsed to the ground. It hurt but no blood. No death. And If i killed myself ghost wise, I would just be a Hypnotizer.

"Alyssa! Why are you so fucking stupid?" I was half naked. He had me cuddled in his arms.

"I don't want to lose you but it seems like I'm all of the problem for everyone. Hell, I have people trying to kill me. I'm on a fucking hit list for christ sake" I cry.

"No, no no no no please. Don't talk like that" He just cradles me in his arms as I cry. It hurts so badly that I end up pushing everyone away.

"All I do is push people away. I did with Tony. My parents, so they couldn't see me like this. My sister. My little brother. Everyone. Gone. Away from me so I can't break their hearts. And now, I'm pushing you away too. All I do is hurt people"
