Chapter 4: Confusion

The world is shaking. Out of habit, I tense. I ball up my hand and curl onto my side. I hear an ear splitting scream.

The world isn't shaking. I'm shaking. Actually, someone is shaking me. Or WAS shaking me. I open my eyes, squinting and taking in my surroundings. The first thing I notice is my body is back to my normal, pale, squishy flesh. I sigh with relief and look over.

Laying on the floor next to me is Bianca, her hand is wrapped around my wrist and she's twitching slightly. I rip my hand away and her body relaxes.

"Bianca...?" I say, my voice breaking over the name.

"Bianca Anne Jecko. Are you okay?" I start hyperventilating, nervously weighing the options of touching her or attempting to shake her. She gasps for breath and sits up quickly.

"Scarlet. What the hell?" she demands, glaring over at me.

"What?" I asked, confused. She closes her eyes and wraps her arms around her knees.

"You shocked me," she whispers, rocking her body gently, like a child.

"So? Anyone could shock you. I didn't mean to," I whisper nervously.

"No. You shocked me like a freaking tazer would," she said angrily.

"Wait what do you mean? I just passed out! I have no idea what you're talking about," I half scream at her. All she does is get up, open the bathroom door, and walk down the hallway. I hear the door shut and I know she's gone.

I'm going crazy. That's the only way all these things could've happened in one day. I get up off the bathroom floor, and run up the stairs, taking two stairs at a time. I burst through the door of my bedroom and flop onto my bed. I grab my pillow, stuffing my face into it and scream. I grab my blankie, the blanket I've had since I was born, and twirl my fingers through it, trying to calm myself down.

Eventually, I fell asleep.
