Heart Of Ice (On Hold)

Chapter 4

(Present Day)

I felt my body sway back and forth, but I couldn't open my eyes or move. It's like they were glued shut. I felt my body jolt and my eyes snapped open. I was in my bed, but there was a figure in my room. A shadow loomed over me and I cowered back in fear. Slowly, I pulled out the knife I kept under my pillow and held it to my chest in defense. The shadowy figure chuckled and walked towards me. It's not very tall...

I acted out of bravery, and stood up. If I'm going to fight this thing, I need to be standing, or else it will get the upper hand.

"S-stop, stop p-playing around a-and fight me!" I stuttered as I stood before the 'thing'.

"Relax, I'm not going to hurt you..." It said as it stepped forward. Out of reflex, I spring forward and dug my knife into what I thought was its arm. It screamed and thrashed as we rolled around on the ground. The thing pushed me over to where it was on top of me, and now I know that I won't live another day.

"I said that I wouldn't hurt you, but in return, you hurt me? How selfish you humans are."

"Y-you aren't h-human?" I ask breathlessly as I gasp for breaths. I feel the thing shake it's head and my breath hitches.

"Okay, I'm going to get up, turn on the lights, and you're not going to hurt me..."

I nodded and felt the weight being lifted off of me. I get up into sitting position and put my knife on the floor. Finally, I heard a click and the lights flickered on. I looked up to meet the face of a boy whom I had known when I was little.

"B-Benjamin?" I ask as I stand up. He nods and my eyes widen. "Benjamin!" I yell and run into him.

"Mmm..." He says as he winces. My eyes widen and I pull back. There's a long gash in his right arm.

"Oh god...I'm so sorry." I say and take his hand. "H-here, stop the bleeding." I say as I hand him a white t-shirt from my dresser. He nods and puts it over his wound. I take his hand and lead him to the bathroom. Quickly, I take out my medicine kit and put a pain killer pill in his hand. After that, I put water in a cup and handed it to him.

"It's a pain killer, take it." I say as he nods and puts it in his mouth. He brings the water to his mouth, and finally takes the pill. "It'll make you a little tired, but I'll take care of you." I say and smile. I take him to my room and lay him on the Queen sized bed. Slowly, he falls asleep. Smiling, I use my first aid kit to stitch up his wound and wrap it in a syringe.

"There," I say and kiss his forehead.
