Hush

Chapter four

It was finished with them, their corpses lay around him. Its desperate fist clenched around a dull knife its partner begged for consideration. But It's madness was beyond reason, Its anger beyond comprehension, it took a step toward me, eyes gleaming with malice its thirst for blood had not yet been quenched, though It had completed its task,  It was coming for me. 

I woke drenched in sweat, eyes dilated, gasping for breath and clenching the front of my shirt as if that might relive the tight feeling in my chest. My heart raced faster, the silence was screaming. I knew no one was speaking, but I heard voices, not my own, but theirs. Crying out with wails of agony. My heart pounded louder, a booming thunderous sound that fills the room, and my uneven gasps fail to gather oxygen. I covered my ears to block out the noise. But its all in my head. My own unfamiliar voice yelling inside my mind, desperate to be heard above the chaos. What I ask for is simple, but it is a wish that can not be granted. I know this, I have lost all control. Yet that doesn't stop me from yelling to make myself heard in my own mind.

"Make it stop!"

I only wish I had the courage to say those simple words, out loud.

The noise began to subdue, my heart still raced at an un-affective rate while I searched the bed-stand doors for pills. dumping anything and everything onto the floor my hand fumbled when I found them, to get them into my mouth, my throat begged for water as I swallowed dryly.

It was Saturday meaning every member of my family was still asleep, at nine O' clock in the morning.

My heart rate slowed to a steady pace. the noise faded to a soft back round humdrum. My head hits the pillow again  I give  sleep a second chance.

I had forgotten this was the first day of spring vacation, the day my parents were taking Sophia to the zoo for the first time. It wouldn't have realy mattered if she hadn't been exited, and when my sister is exited no body sleeps.

"Yah!" she screamed jumping on my stomach as I was about to close my eyes It had just started getting easy to breath again to.

All the careful gathered air flew out of my lungs, I sputtered

"Wha-?" 

"The zoo, the zoo. The zoo!" she chanted and screamed in surprise when I sat up suddenly, without warning. Well without warning to her, apparently she had no idea that jumping on me would cause a reaction.

She giggled ecstatically at my facial expression, her four year old mind un-able to proses empathy.

Authors note: ok this may be the shortest chapter ever so i decided to make it longer but as for now this is all i got. tell me what you think, I promise chapter four will continue later.
