Look Behind Your Back

Chapter 2: Blink

When you go in the bathroom you feel an unwelcoming presence in the room, that is when you feel weak, vulnerable and manipulated. The atmosphere feels heavy, the temperature drastically drops. Your heart pumps hard and your mind goes empty.

These are the words that describe my feelings each and every time Jaxon goes inside the Bathroom.

When the sound of water rushing covers the deadly silence, he closes his  eyes. In fear of water getting in it, he shuts it, close and tight. Although a part of him feels worried that when he opens them he will see something that is unwelcoming.

Fear gets the best out of Jaxon, but a little faith washes it off. But what if what he sees is something that can't be washed away?

He finally opened his eyes and he felt relieved that nothing appeared nor disappeared in front of his naked eyes. After what he just felt a chill rushes down to the end of his spine, a presence is getting closer behind his back.

A curious idea pops up to look, but hindrance and doubt is keeping Jaxon from doing so. He felt the wind hit the layers of his skin and footsteps slowly going to his direction. His brave soul goes to look behind and to his demise you see the lights turned off.

He said to himself

"Who couldv'e done that?!" or
"No one but me is at home this very hour?!"

He feels scared knowing that the only lights are coming from the very bathroom that he was staying in.

He finally went out to turn on the lights walking steps lighter than feathers. But a wave of confusion strikes him when he tried to turn the switch on.

 The Lights Are Turned On

He flips the switch at a fast state on an uncountable rate. At the same time the unwelcomed presence is going near you at a fast type of movement.

He ran to the door hoping to get out, but the knob is locked from the outside. And the worst part comes, the footsteps are getting louder than before.

Jaxon was at a pace showing mirror clear panic in hopes to get in his  bedroom. He was screaming in the hallways and experiencing horror movie cliches like tripping inevetably.

Then Jaxon finally got in the bedroom, and you said things like "It's fine nothing's wrong at all!, It's probably just wind or something!". Forgeting facts like the way that the lights were off even though it was clearly turned on.

Then he remembers distinct memories of fear similar to this. Like the times he played Hide and Seek with his sister.

Sadly one day while they were playing Jaxon was the "it". His sister specifically told him to not open his eyes so that he wouldn't see.

"Ten, Nine , Eight, Seven..."

He said with ease

Then a horrible thing occured, someone broke in. Luckily Jaxon acted fast and hid under his bed. Although he doubted that his sister has.

He heard them storm in the kitchen and shake the cabinets. They went in his parents' room and stole precious jewelry and a stache of bills.

A few moments later Jaxon heard them go out the house due to the loud bang created by the door.

The first thing that he did was find his sister, he was shouting for her

"Sister!! Sister!! Are you here?!!"

No reply

His parents arrived and he explain to them what broke down. They were surprisingly fast to accept what happened to his sister, as if they hated her.
