Chapter 3: Is This The End?

Leslie paced back and forth, rummaging her books. She seems to be looking for something, irritation can be seen in her eyes. Leslie, stopped, face palming and letting out a deep breath. I asked her.

“You know I can help you look right?” She only glanced at me before sighing once again.

“I said, Im going to find out what’s happening with my own hands, but I cant seem to find the book I was looking for.” Leslie looked sad and devastated, she really wants to solve this mystery. I stood up from where I was sitting, Leslie looked at me with sad eyes. I patted her back,”Hey, maybe this is for the best maybe, you’re never ment to find out about this.” I tried to soothe her, Leslie bit her lip before walking away from and to the bookshelf.

“You don’t understand Dev, I have read something about this before, but weirdly I cant seem to remember what it was , I also cant find it.”Leslie said, looking at the books in the shelf, suddenly the door bell rang.

“I’ll go get it.”I was only answered by silence, I sighed walking out of the room , gong down the stairs. As I neared the front door I noticed that, all the lights from the houses are turned off once again. I was confused, I thought everyone was awake are they not confused of what’s happening right now? I shrugged off not carrying at all, but as I was about to open the door the lights suddenly turned off.

A blackout has occured, the person behind the door rang the bell a lot more impatiently than before pressing it so many times. I stood there, paralyzed shocked of the sudden blackout. The uneasy feeling was back from  before my senses became more intense, I can hear my heart beating loud, I was only brought back to reality when the person behind the door started to bang it while shouting.

“Please!Please! Open door!.”The voice was quite deep it was boy, probably my age, I shook my head getting my phone inside my pocket and turing on the flashlights. I opened the door, there appeared a young boy about my age, he was terrified, he quickly came in closing the door behind. he looked dishevelled from running there's also bruises on his body clearly from blindly looking for a way.

“Thank you!Thank you!”He muttered, he was shaking as I pointed the flashlight at him.

“Hey are you ok?”I asked but he only nodded still shaking.

“Hey,Dev there seems to be a blackout im gonna go to the basement, Im turning on the generator”Leslie suddenly appeared from the stairs going to the back of the house, but she stopped after seeing this guy infront of me. “Who’s this?”She asked pointing at the guy.

“He’s the one who rang the bell”She nodded, glancing at the boy one last time, before proceding to her way. I called her one last time “Will you be alright going on the basement alone?”She only nodded to me before walking away.

I Looked back at the boy, who is now standing there holding his head.”We need lights” I muttered, While observing him I can’t help but ask. “What happened to you?”He slowly turned his head to look at me, fear can be seen on his face.

“Death is here.”That was the only thing he said, the words he said shocked me. “Death?” I muttered still looking at the boy, the lights turned back on which made me feel alot safer now.

“Hey, can you tell me why are you so scared and terrified?”I asked him once again, sitting down the couch. The boy, didn’t answer he looked at me on the eye, his eyes was were red, so red that it looks like its going to pop. “Are you ok?”I asked, this boy was acting weird than when he first came in. He stared at me with eyes so red, he looked insane, he looks like he wants to do something sinister.

I got scared, but I didn’t show it, deciding its much better to hide your fear. I asked the boy once again  if he is ok. But….. he contineud to stare, before he suddenly screamed through his lungs.

He clawed his head..

He was screaming…

Begging someone to stop the pain..

I would have done something to help him but I was paralayzed on the spot..

Scared of moving…

I saw Leslie, she was back, I thought that she would have done somoething to the sufffering boy…. but just like me she was paralyzed from her spot. Her body was shaking just like me.

The boy kept screaming…

Begging and begging to stop the pain…

Screaming from the top of his lungss..
Pounding his head..

Like he was trying to.. break it.

I was trying to act, forcing myself to move but Leslie did it first, she ran from her spot, going to the boy asking him what was wrong I followed her forcing my body to move. Just like Leslie I asked the boy but he didn’t answer….

He just screamed and screamed..

Begging and begging…..

Until he stopped just staring into space. He stood up walking away slowly. He was going to the kitchen I glanced at Leslie, she looked at me before nodding we decided to follow the boy. As we arrived at the kitchen the boy was already rummaging to the things. He grabbed a knife pointing it at his head.

Leslie and I moved quickly, wanting to stop the boy for what he was going to, but we weren’t quick enough.

The boy stabbed his head with the knife he was holding….

Then I heared, Leslie’s screams of horror, I stood there forzen  .

............

I sat down on the floor of the kitchen, still traumatized to what I have witnessed. It was my first time seeing someone die before my eyes, and it wasn't great. I never knew that boy, but seeing him kill himself in front of me broke me.

Leslie was worse, she stayed in her room crying. She haven't gotten out for 3 hours.
We disposed the boys body outside, digging a hole for him. But when we went outside it was so quiet. The peacefulness of the sorounding  terrified me.

We haven't heard anything new from the news, but how can we when there is no news anymore, the only thing the TV is showing is static,the only thing that came to my mind.
This is the end.
