Don't Do It

Chapter 4: This Is My Goodbye

With everyday as they grow closer I grow braver. I can actually see them now. They're not shadows any longer they're actual physical beings. Their screams, to my surprise have now somewhat become more quiet than it has been, Although I don't know for how long. I still have that feeling of malice, and I still feel like I have to run.

Finally I became so bold as I got the balls to talk to it as there is only one entity now. Its voice is surprisingly average along with its height, with it being around 5'6. I'm shocked at it being as co-operative as it is, with it answering with complete sentences. I almost felt comfortable for once if it wasn't for for the atmosphere. "What are you," I asked. "You don't know already, I'm your new owner." This shocked me til I was stiff and couldn't move. Finally I grabbed the knife my dad bought me for my 15 birthday and locked myself in the bathroom. That is where my body shutdown and I started crying, eventually I cried myself to sleep.

When I finally awoke I was horrified. Right infront of my face stood that damned thing thats been haunting me half my life. Its face was almost the mirror image of my face. In the blink of an eye I jabbed my knife through the bottom of his jaw, opened the door and ran. Ran like I've been warned to. Quite literally my life depended on it.

I never saw it again, but the feeling that i needed to run was still there. So I know that It is still after me. It will return and soon. I cant sleep at all anymore. Everytime I close my eyes I see its wicked smile as I awoke, forcing any urge to sleep right out of my tired body. I can still hear a voice as well. A very loud, and booming voice. I can hear what it saying. It unnerved me as to why it returned, and why it will always return. Its saying "you've always belonged to me, and I'll always return to one day claim my property back." I now know why I felt a need to run. I'm like a pet to him, a pet that escaped from him. He's just bringing me back. He is saying something different as i type this. "Come back little one, come back to your only owner." If i don't add anything new, know that its better you forgot me, because if you don't he'll  add you to his new list of pets. This is forever my goodbye.
