16.10.1973 , Monday
Ophelia woke up to the sound of singing birds and a soft wind breeze from her window.
She yawned sleepily and stretched her in scratches covered arms.
Her dark circled eyes opened, staring lifeless at the dusty ceiling.
A wet nose nudge her elbow.
"Duke", she smiled heartlessly "Aren't you a good boy?"
Her hand moved affectionately over the dogs forehead.
A familiar groan peaked her ears, her eyes glistened darkly.
"No,No,NO I AM NOT GOING TO DO THIS GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT!"
She pressed her fists against either side of her skull, hitting violently against her temples.
"Please stop these thoughts, stop screaming, STOP"
She shouted under tears.
Duke backed up against the door, scared.
"No, baby come here! I just need a tiny little-"
She jumped out of the bed with inhuman speed, shutting the door before Duke had a chance to pass the doorway.
Her hot breaths came out in strange patterns, her crying rapidly turning into sobbing.
"Help me, please" She stuttered, ramming the metal utensil into her whimpering friend's mouth.
Big tears rolled down her chin onto the carpet together with blood drops.
The last tooth was shoved into the hole.
Whimpering,sobbing,quick breaths.
The only things she heard besides the pain screaming in her head.
Why would she do something so barbaric, so terrible, so.. selfish.
Yes, selfish was the right thing to say.
It was utterly selfish.
Her body collapsed into its self.
A vigorous knock.
She looked up to where the evil began.
The hole, it was getting bigger.
"NO!"
The young girl screamed, running to the now apple sized hole, pressing her hand over it.
"NO"
Stinging pain went through her palm, she was bleeding terribly.
She hissed, holding her wrist with her clean hand.
"Y-You want something to eat? I will give you what you want, remember? I always did!"
In that moment her whole world broke down, her hands clutching the pliers lying next to her dog.
She pulled aggressively, screaming on top of her lungs from the unbearable pain shooting through her mouth.
"REMEMBER?! FUCKING TAKE IT YOU PIECE OF SHIT!"
Her blood smeared hands threw the tooth into the opening, the pliers clicked again, and again, and again, more blood dripping onto her lap, her knees slipping over the wet floor.
A scream so lurid, even Satan himself might have heard it in the depths of hell.
Ophelia coughed up the overflowing blood from her gums, her ripped tongue brushing over cut open flesh.
"ARE YOU HAPPY NOW YOU MONSTER?"
The wall cracked.
Concrete crumbled from the huge cracks.
Silence.
A hand shot through the opened wall, tightly wrapping around the girl's throat.
It's wrinkled fingers digging into the flesh of her neck, she shrieked.
"Not yet, my little tooth fairy"" the voice scraped over her ear.
It suddenly clawed at her arms and legs pulling her into it's dark cave.
The dark haired girl's desperate scream for help echoed through the never ending walls of the old house.
