The Girl With No Name (On Hold)

Chapter 5

Dear diary,                                                                                                                                                                       I haven't written in ages! Last time I wrote anything was January. Nothing exciting has happened. Everyday has been exactly the same.

It's halloween tomorrow. I'm not sure how they celebrate holloween here because I wasn't here for it last year.

Ruby's started to be really mean to me. She makes fun of me for not having a last name and not knowing who my parents are. She knows her parents, they come sometimes on saturdays to take her out. She's sitting by the window waiting for them to come, where she has been for the past 2 hours.

The other day she saw me writing in my diary for the first time. I've been trying to hide it from her because I know if she ever gets her hands on it she'll do something terrible.

Dear diary,                                                                                                                                                                 I woke up and went into the living room this morning. It was decorated with paper skeletons stuck on the wall and some tissue paper ghosts hanging from the ceiling. Honestly, Oceans bedroom was scarier than this.

We played a game where we all had to close our eyes and the care worker, Grace, would tell a 'scary' story. She would say something like; eyeballs fell everywhere, then she would pass around a bowl of grapes and we would put our hands into it and pretend it was eyeballs.

When that was finished that was the only game really planned. The kids who were over 6 were allowed to carve pumpkins but they were worried the younger kids would cut a finger off or something. 

I went to my bedroom and layed on my bed looking at my photo album. I heard a creaking noise that sounded like it came from under the bed. I shook it off until the bed started full on shaking. I heard a high pitched scream and then a face jumped out at me.

I screamed and whoever it was took off a werewolf mask. It was Ruby. She was laughing so hard and trying to say something at the same time. "Y-You should've seen your face!" She laughed harder.

Dear diary,                                                                                                                                                                 I woke up late today and everyone was downstairs. I looked for my diary but I couldn't find it anywhere. I went out into the upstairs hallway to see if I had left it out there accidently.

I saw Ruby sitting on the top step reading something. She got up and was holding my diary. "My life sucks, it just sucks." She read in a baby voice. "Give it back!" I walked towards her. "Oooh, baby's getting angry!" She laughed "Give it back!" I shouted. I ran towards her and grabbed it out of her hands.

The suddenness of it all must have made her jump.

She stepped backwards without realising what was behind her.

She tripped, and screamed.

That scream...It was the kind that stuck in your mind, echoing through your head.

She fell, I closed my eyes tight, not wanting to see what was happening before me.

I heard several bangs, sounding like her head hitting the stairs multiple times.

Then...silence.

I opened my eyes, stuck to the spot in fear.

Her lifeless body layed still.

Then, everyone came over. choruses of 'Is she dead?' and 'What happened' flyed through the air, hitting me like bricks.

I can only imagine what it must have looked like to them all. A lifeless body at the  bottom of the stairs, and me looking down at them all from the top...
