Why us?

The Hallucination

  That night everyone decided to sleep out in the living room in a kind of sleep over thing. Me and Venus grab our stuff as everyone else does the same. We set up our blankets and things closest to the kitchen, which is the farthest from the front door. As everyone is talking about what they did before all of this, I notice how high the roof really is. Venus sees me staring and squeezes my hand as she tells a story that I can't make out, my vision is getting blurry and everything almost looks dark and feels damp, a horrible smell of rotting flesh fills my nose. Flashing lights appear outside and everyone has disappeared except for Venus, who is sleeping ever so softly.

  Pounding at the door rings through my ears. My vision is completely black and when it returns, everything is back to normal, but the pounding is still there, Venus gets up to answer the door and I trail behind. A police officer forces his way through the door with his gun out and runs for the spot that are blankets are at. Venus suddenly pulls out a knife and stabs the officer to death, I black out...

  When I reawaken, I am in my bed, Venus is still beside me and the whole house seems peaceful. Venus' eyes open and she smiles at me, "good morning Mars" she says as she gets up and starts to get dressed. "Venus, what happened last night?" I quickly ask, the sound of fear rising through my voice. "We were having our sleepover and you started talking to yourself and then you passed out, I think you might've drunk to much" she replies and laughs. "Oh okay then..." I say, clearly still frightened. The whole day went by like normal again, Venus was gone for a few hours until I found her leaving the house through the back door, I asked her where she was going and she told me "No where, I would never leave you". Another two days went by and I think that the house is really getting to me, hallucinations started getting more and more frequent but usually going to sleep stopped them instantly.

  I also noticed that I seemed much more tired, and my arms were always super sore. Venus tried to comfort me as best she can, sometimes she left for no reason though and I'd have to go get her back, I have no idea what is happening to me.
