The Shawdow's Child

Chapter Six: Oh no... not again!

Natasha hanging from a rope on the ceiling. Vanessa fell onto her knees, Beatrice started vomiting, and me... I almost had a seizure. That view was DISTURBING! I started looking at the spell that I had read from the journal, and that when I realized what I had just done.

"...if you must take another soul take it now, just bring this young girl back to life somehow"

I sacrificed Natasha's life for Beatrice. After that horrific view Vanessa couldn't sleep. For hours she stayed up stares in the same position... dramatized. "Why is this all happening" Vanessa would mumble to herself repetitively, "I barely even knew Alice" and just as "Alice" came out of mouth, the shadow's child appeared next to Vanessa, holding a medal chain around her hand.

"Do you want to play a game?" Alice said playing with the chain in her hand. "I'm too old for games" Vanessa said nervously. Alice stood up, "You said you barely knew me... but all I remember is how you bullied me, don't you know how that feels? Being invisible, as your "friends" act like they never knew you, it made me so hurt that you guys thought that I was insane that I became suicidal!" Alice stopped and took a breath, "I was pushed off a bridge and nobody even thought about me, or at least said 'pray for Alice', that's what everyone does nowadays when something tragic happens!" Alice said spinning her chain around.

"Now it's payback time, Vanessa, this will only hurt... a lot" Alice smirked wrapping the chain around Vanessa's neck, choking her to death, while Beatrice and I sat down stares trying to puzzle everything together. "Na-Na-Natasha's dead Beatrice..." I said looking at the ground, "what if she turns into another Alice? Trying to get revenge?" Beatrice stayed quiet, "What's wrong Beatrice?" I said looking at her.

"My best friend is gone. She's on the opposite team now. Almost killed me. I can't think straight. Natasha's dead. My family is doing I don't know what, they wouldn't even care if I died. Did I mention, I'm losing my best friend? The one that I went through all my ups and downs with? The one I've been trying to protect from all the negative things from? I don't even know why I am still alive." Beatrice said as all the positive energy just drained from her.

I wrapped my arm around Beatrice as she began to cry a river, until Vanessa's phone fell from the second floor covered in blood. Beatrice wiped her tears and filled her gun with bullets before she got up and went to check what had fallen. "It's Vanessa's phone" she said as she picked it up and tossed it to me, "Call the police, I will go check on Vanessa." Beatrice said going upstairs. I dialed 911 and gave them the address and told them what was happening. It sounded crazy, I mean I wasn't surprised the operator said, "Do you have a mental illness". Who would believe a person that's saying "Hi the problem is, some ghost girl has killed all my friends, possessed my favorite teacher, and is now in the middle of a fight with a 13 year old that is holding a gun, this house is covered in blood by the way!" The operator told me the police were on the way and the line quickly dropped before I could answer.

A few moments later gun shots were heard from upstairs, and the body that came rolling down the stairs almost made me poop my pants.

It was Beatrice. A bullet straight through her skull.

Alice came down the steps with a smile on her face and blood all over her black dress.

"Now it's your time to be the crazy, invisible girl." She murmured, and smiled at me. Sirens were approaching, and the police opened the door to see me holding a bloody phone with a dead body at my feet.

I was accused of murder in the first degree, man slaughter, and kidnapping. I'm known for being that "violent emo" that killed her whole family, group of friends, and her teacher. I was sentenced 15 YEARS IN JUVIE & 16 YEARS IN A MENTAL HOSPITAL. But that night wasn't the last time I saw Alice, Juliet, Beatrice, Natasha, Vanessa, Ms. E, my mom, dad, sister, brothers, or the shadow figure. This... was just the beginning.
