Chapter 6

"Sit here" Arizel said. She summoned me to her room.
"..and don't move"

I probably just smirked a little.

"What did you do?", "You have no idea as to what had happened to your mother" She sat at the rump of the bed and bit her nails in fear.

"How am I suppose to protect you" she was literally disappointed with what I had just done.
    But I didn't mean to disappoint her. She was the only person that I had a connection with.
   
"I barely let my mother out. She was trapped in that box,  for, I don't know for how many years" I shouted and fidgeted anxiously.

"You are too child to child to understand","how am I suppose to make you understand"  She uttered softly.

It was almost early in the dawning, but our rage was not over yet. I had finally found the right place for the keys to fit it, any nobody around me was enthusiastic about it.

Arizel didn't even allow me to look at what was inside of the box.

"I want to see what's inside that box, the one that mommy left me" I began babbling once again. Hoping she would Understand me, correctly this time.

Abruptly the doorknob of Arizel's room rattled. It made a churning sound.

Arizel stopped and proceeded away from the door. She looked absolutely devastated.

The door slightly slit open, just letting a narrow space for the breeze to draw in.

"She's here" Arizel whispered into my ears.

This time I was scared too. I gulped a blob of saliva and I cuddle around Arizel.

    She seized hold of me tight enough know that there was no air in between. He tuck he hair behind her ears and searched for a way to escape.
     She looked around to every corner of her room.
    Arizel slightly let loose of me and quietly moved two steps to turn off the radio.
   "Do you hear anything now?' She asked.

    "No nothing" I tried to deepen my voice as I spoke.

"Hush.. hush" she told her hands to my mouth.

  She tried to concentrate on the slightest source of sound.
   She let her ears stick out a bit more close to the door.

"Ah. huh" Arizel pulled herself in.

She moved a little and turned back the radio once again.

"She's breathing." she said.

****
The door opened a little more this time. It was almost half way open, easily for a human figure to move in and out.

"Quickly move inside the closet" she grabbed my hands tightly. Her hands were way too sweaty.
     I let go of her had once and swiped my wet hands in my dress.
    She held me once again and came down to my ears and whispered -

"Run"

She pushed me inside the closet and stuck in with me

"No..no, please" Arizel pleaded as she kneeled down to the floor. She looked even more horrified.
       She shut her eyes close and tightened the grip even more. It was hard for me to  even breathe.

I twisted my head around to look over my shoulder.

She was getting closer now.

I heard my mom calling out my name from downstairs. So I good up started to head down.
    Arizel pull me in from the room and said.
  "I heard that too."
