hand prints

david woke up to a constant knocking, she sat up, turning on his lamp; which sat next to him on a night stand.

he turned his head in confusion trying to figure out what he was seeing.

the redheaded 16 year old girl, he calls his daughter was sitting on the floor crosslegged, in front of the wall. david thought he was seeing things for a moment. he rubbed his eyes to see it was true.

sadie was constantly banging her head on the wall in front of her like she was in some sort of trans. david shook claire awake softly, pointing at the event in front of him.

claire stood up, sitting down next to sadie, just to pull her onto her feet, and away from the wall carefully without waking her up.

sadie often slept walked when she was a child, but she hadnt done it in years.

her mother guided her back to bed, where she'd sleep until she had to get up for school in the morning.

sadie really wasnt looking forward to a new school, but it was still kind of early in the year so maybe it wont be too bad.

and just as planned, she pulled herself out of bed when her alarm went off, and got ready for school. she locked ollie in her room; leaving him food ans water along with his litter box. she didn't want him getting in the way of her parents and have a reason for them to not keep him.

her hair was in messy waves, with very little make up and a simple outfit anyone could come up with and red hightop convise to match.

she got onto the bus before her parents even got up. she was very awkward in picking a seat. she ended up sitting next to a blonde girl, she lookes nice. she was very pretty.

"I'm sadie, i'm new."

"i'm lilia." sbe shrugged, awkwardly. she looked like she didn't want anything to do with sadie, and she respected that. she ignored her the whole ride to school.

she followed the rest of the teens into the school. she noticed a familiar boy, which she walked towards only because it was the only person that wasnt a complete stranger; at least she knew his name.

"sadie?" he questioned, her giving him a nod and a small smile. "you go here now?"

"yeah, and I'm kind of lost." she explained. he nodded, taking her schedule. "this is millie, gaten, jack, sophia, wyatt, iris, and noah." finn introduced, sadie waved at them.

millie was very pretty, she had shorter brown hair, and brown eyes to match. she sat next to noah, they flirted back and forth openly. sadie just assumed they were together or really close best friends.

sophia and wyatt on the other hand; were definitely more than friends. it was obvious.

finn ended up having first period with her, so he ended up walking to class with her. he still thinks shes a bit crazy, but he likes crazy.

it was a pretty average day.

"massacre at sand creek, was one of the most tragic events occurred in 1864." the teacter spoke, boring the poor redhead to death.

"most of the cheyenne, assuming they were under the protection of the U.S. government, had peacefully returned to Colorado’s Sand Creek Reserve for the winter." finn though a piece of paper at the half asleep sadie. opening it back up just to read "wanna ride home?" in which she nodded at him with a smile. she hated bus rides.

"yet General S. R. Curtis, U.S. Army commander in the West, sent a telegram to militia colonel John
Chivington that read, “i want no peace till the indians suf-
fer more.” in response, chivington and his troops descended on the cheyenne and arapaho—about 200 warriors and 500 women and children—camped at Sand Creek."

school was soon over and the boy kept his promises by taking her home. she thanked him while entering her home; only to see hand prints, red hand prints; all over the floor. sadie sighed in confusion.

she stepped deeper into her house hold, to get jump scared by a girl she once knew. sophie.

she had blood all over her hands, and clothes. sadie backed up away from her, horrified. though she kind of wanted to hug her because she missed her so much.

"you have to get out of here!" she screamed, dropping to the floor.

sadie pulled her phone out of her pocket to dial 911.

"this is 911, how can we help you?"

"i think there has been an accident, there is a girl covered in blood in my house!" she yelled into the phone, while backing into the other room.

"whats your address ma'am?" sadie shut herself in the bathroom. but before she couod answer the operator a gun shot was fired. sadie sobbed, her eyes were wide. she left like she was going to through up. "ma'am?"

"31 ash road, hurry." she said, before hanging up and opening the door.

her childhood best friend sat up against a wall. blood was written above her head; "go home."

a gun was in hand, she killed herself; and she didn't even know why, or what she meant. was this an other delusion?

finn opened the door to the house, hearing the gun shot from next door.

"whats going on? sadie are you okay?" he rushed in. she nodded, not looking at him; but staring at the body, of her once best friend. finn backed up, once he saw it too. grabbing sadie, and pulling her out of the house, where police were already arriving.
