Under The Wolf Moon

Chapter eight, part one

''You've what?!'' Chloe yelled at me. Right now, I'm at Chloe's. We're sitting on her bed and I just arrived a few minutes ago. She wanted to know where I went. And yes, that's her reaction. She passed a hand through her hair and shook her head.

''I went to the mental hospital.'' I repeated for the third time.

''You're crazy.'' I opened my mouth to say something but she interrupted me. ''And why did you go there?'' She asked, raising an eyebrow. I looked down at my hands. ''No...'' I looked up at her and her face showed that she realized something. ''You thought he could help you?'' I shrugged. ''Dude, that man is crazy. He's mentally ill. He killed two people thinking that their eyes were glowing.''

I let out a sigh and let myself fall on my back, on the mattress, ''Whatever. He didn't help that much just saying to stay away from them.'' I let out a sigh through my nose. "I'm just trying to understand."

''Anyways," she began, ready to switch subjects, "about Logan, you have to tell me what you guys talked about? You haven't told me since the party which was three days ago.'' Which also mean that the 24th of December is tomorrow and I'm so excited. We usually open the gifts at midnight on the 25th.

I let out a chuckle, ''We were talking about school.'' I turned my head to look at her and she gave me a look and slightly grinned ''It doesn't mean anything, okay?'' However, I can't deny that he is attractive. Maybe I could try being his friend at school. But for the time being, I'd rather enjoy the freedom of being single and get my life straight and figure things out.

But I need to figure out what's going on with the glowing eyes. Even if Max sounds crazy, he seemed legit. He seemed to truly believe he saw glowing eyes.

But do crazy people really believe things like he does about glowing eyes? Like if they really do believe if people are evil or good.

Oh God, I sound absurd right now.

''Okay.'' She replied, placing her hands in surrender. I sat up and watched as she got out of the bed and took something from under the bed. She threw a bag of chips at me and I caught it. Doritos. I grinned. She took another one and it's the vinegar and salt one.

I looked up at her. ''And,'' I drawled, ''why do you have two bags of chips under your bed?''

Shrugging, she replied, ''Well, I've got a brother and he is always stealing the chips.'' She grabbed her laptop and installed a movie. ''I thought we could watch insidious.'' I grinned and nodded. I watched as she jumped out of her bed and closed the light then came back. I pressed my back against the wall and started to eat the chips. ''Hey! Don't eat all the chips.'' Now, the only thing that could happen to scare the shit out of me would be a ghost coming into the room. Especially, that no one's home. Her parents nor her brothers are here. The movie began and I grabbed a pillow to hold against me. My only protection. Nah, my protection would be throwing Chloe in front of me while I'm screaming. Looking at the screen, I continued to eat the chips.

******************

Okay, crazy shit is happening in the movie. Literally. I mean, there's something and---I violently turned my head towards Chloe's bedroom door as I heard the wooden floor creak. Ow, that did hurt. I rubbed the back of my neck. Her door is closed and she had already fallen asleep. The floor creaked again and I literally stopped breathing for a second.

I felt bile rise up in my throat and my heart started to beat rapidly against my ribcage.

My first thought was that it was the kidnapper from the other day. I held the pillow tightly against my chest. I watched as the doorknob slowly turned and I let out a pierced scream at what stood by the door.

Hey guys, I'll update after this chapter get three likes :) Thanks for reading :)
