Next To Normal

Chapter 9

Hello Lovies! I am not giving up on this story. It one of my favorites and I love to tell it. The storyline from my original plan is....well....I dunno how it's going to work. I'll just try my best?
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

The nights cool air rushed through the small town. It was dark, yet had just enough light to see small details in little places. The smell of barbecues still lingered in the air.

Troy still had no idea what he was to do with Twila. He knew she wasn't on the list yet, but killing her didnt seem right. No matter what he chose, he still had to carry out his deed. It was a nasty deed, but he knew that he owed it to his uncle.

In the records, Sally's death was very tragic. According to the book of pasta, she had died because of her Uncle (might not be the actual story, this is just one that I heard. Not going into details much, but still TRIGGER WARNING just in case) who was terrified that Sally would tell his secret. How would Troy be the cause of her death?

Lucky for him, his uncle has many different types of potions. They come in handy when you want someone off your trail. Troy had taken a potion that blocks out any logic one might have, and make them extremely paranoid. All he had to do was sprinkle some potion on the uncle, whisper some words, and boom. Murder complete.

Troy put on his gear, and head towards the edges of the town, where it was mainly farm land and woods. He stopped just before the street Sally lived on. Her uncle was currently staying with them. Troy made sure none of the neighbors could see his truck or him. He snuck all the way up the road and into the house.

The house was pretty small for a property with a lot of land. It was white, had a small front porch with a porch swing, and a white door. There were locks on the windows that had rusted away. Anyone who really tried could easily get in.

Troy snuck next to the house. He peaked in the first window. Just his luck. He had found the uncle, sleeping like a baby. Troy opened the window as slowly and quietly as he could. Then he took out the potion and poured half of it on the uncle. The uncle woke up with a start and looked around.

"Sally is going to tell your little secret to her daddy. You must silence her." Troy whispered just loud enough for the uncle to hear. The uncle stood still, as if he was in a trance, then glared at the wall and walked out of the room. Troy hated killing little kids, so he went far away from the house to wait.

Troy found a tree barely far enough to not be seen, and sat down. Five minutes later, he saw the uncle and Sally walk out of the house, Sally holding her teddy bear. They walked off into the other tree lined. Troy didnt want to see the deed be done, so he closed his eyes tight. Ten minutes went by before he heard the scream. He didnt even jump.

Troy watched as the uncle came back into view, being severely panicked and coming to the realization of what he had done to poor Sally. Sally's parents had ran out of the house. Her dad saw the uncle and nearly tackled him. There was a lot of shouting, but Troy couldn't hear it. He had a ghost to catch.

Troy walked all the way around to the other tree line, being careful to not be spot by the others. He saw Sally's body. She was beaten in the head with a rock, her nightgown torn at the bottom. Her little teady bear was still in her hand. Troy tried his best to ignore other details that would not be ok to say. He looked for Sally's spirit when something with a whitish glow swooshed past a few trees. He ran after it.

Twenty minutes of swooshing later, Troy caught up with the bright blob. The blob slowly took form of Sally, who looked a lot less mangled then her physical form at the moment. Troy walked up to her slowly; he didnt want to frighten her.

"Sally? "He started carefully, "My name is Troy. I'm here to help you out. "

Sally looked at him sideways and smiled, "Hi Troy! What do I need help with?"

Troy sighed, "I'm going to help you function in your new form. There is a special home we can go to, where you will be safe." He held out his hand.

Sally was a little hesitant at first, but she gently grabbed Troy's hand. They ran to the truck, unseen by the group of adults arguing and fighting. Troy made sure that Sally wouldnt be bothered by them, even offering her a piggyback ride. They got to the car and drove off to the mansion. On the way, Troy and Sally talked about a lot of things. From ghost stories, to their favorite shows. It had seem to be a blossom of a very powerful friendship.

Once at the mansion, Slenderman was waiting just inside the woods. Troy put up his stuff and help Sally out of the truck. Hello, little one Slenders inner voice spoke directly to Sally, which freaked her out quiet a bit. I am slenderman. I will help you be the best Creepypasta ever.

Sally went inside and picked her room. It was two doors down the hall from Troy's room. She went in her room and fell asleep. Troy also went to his room, but he couldn't fall asleep. He was still worried sick about Twila. He saw the plans she wrote out.

Before troy had gone with his plans of murder, he checked by Twila's house. He checked the front windows of her house and then headed for the Back. He stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Twila, half on her bed, half off her bed with her glasses slowly falling. Troy had a mini heart attack, thinking that she was dead in some way, but when Twila and turned and almost fell of her bed, he was relieved.

Of course, seeing Twila and being thankful that she decided to sleep instead of play detective, Troy had many other questions. Question that couldn't be answered if he woke her up. So, before he left, Troy put Twila back on her bed properly, took off her glasses, and closed her shed doors. When he was alone in his room, he couldn't stop thinking about her. Why was she in a shed? what happened to her plans? Did she lie when she said she was too busy to hang out after school? The question drove Troy mad. He would just have to be a little more flirtatious and clingy around the stubborn girl to make sure she dosent get herself killed.

Ok Lovies! That's the end of chapter nine. I screwed up with the time of events, mainly because I changed my mind on what to do with Twila. However, it is 12:51 right now and I should probably get to bed. Hope you guys love it!
