A campfire story

"llllllllaaaaaaaaylllllllllaaaaaaa" the voice whooshed in my ears.

"w-w-w-w-h-h-h-h-o-o-o-s t-t-t-t-h-h-h-e-e-r-r-r-e?" my teeth manage to chatter out I wasn't sure if I was shivering from the cold or because I was scared. I had been hearing the voices ever since my twin brother had been murdered. Well that's when they had been too hard to ignore when my mum died I heared faint whispers in my ears then when my dad died the voices grew a little louder but as I said when my brother died the voices grew to yelling.

I was in my twentieth new house. It was midnight and it was pitch black in my new apartment. I couldn't get to sleep I could never get to sleep. My name is Layla Perryweather and I am eighteen years old I have never kissed a boy never even gone on a date with a boy. I have no friends people in all the cities or towns I move to all think i'm crazy. I used to have a life with best friends and a boyfriend that all changed when my mum died mysteriously. I stoped talking to my friends at that point. Then when my dad mysteriously disappeared I stoped talking to my boyfriend and I dropped out of school.

The only person who talked to me was Perry my twin brother. I told him about the voices he wouldn't call me crazy but he always went quiet when I mentioned them.

Then Perry got murdered the police say he killed himself they said that about my mum and dad too. I didn't believe them about my brother at least because he was in our shared room and the whispers were murmering in my ears...

"LLLLLLAAAAAAYYYYYYLLLLLLLAAAAAAAA YYYYOOOOOOUUUUUUUURRRRR

NNNNNNNNEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXXXTTTTT AAAAAFFFFTTTTEEEERRR PPPPPPPEEEERRRRRRYYYYY" they mumbled.

I ignored them as I went downstairs to get a midnight snack because I couldn't get to sleep.

Then for the First time in my life the voices sounded like they were going away but I still heared except they weren't talking to me they were to Perry. I listened.

"PPPPPPEEEEEEERRRRRRRYYYYY

it's your turn are you going to scream like your mother, are going to run like your father, we shall ssssssseeeeeee...

I heared a scream but didn't know what to make of it so I stood there listening still to the voices.

"ssssssssuuuuuccccccchhhhhh a screamer like your mother... Your sssssssister will be nexxxxxt" the voices hissed.

I heared pleading.

"p-p-p-p-lease n-n-n-not l-l-l-l-Layla"

"ooooooohhhhh ffffffoooouuuunnndd ur weak sssssspot aye" hissed the voice.

"p-p-p-p-lease not Layla" Perry's voice was fading growing quieter.

I overcame my fear and ran up the stairs threw open our rooms door.

Perry wasn't there well he's body wasn't there instead was perry's blood on the wall in writing saying...

Layla your next

And in perry's writing there was two letters...

L.P

And that is the night my brother died that's pretty much the same as how my mum and dad's crime scene turned out to be no body but blood everywhere so that's why it's a confusing sucide because how can someone kill themselves and then there body just disappears...

It had been two years since my brother had died it was hard being alone espicially at night with the voices drumming in my head...

"wwwwwwwwweeeee ttttttttttttoooooolllllllllddd yyyyyyyyouuuuuu

Ttttttthhhhhhhaaaaatttt you were nexxxxxxt" the hissed loudly in my head.

"w-w-w-ho's w-w-w-we?" I chattered.

The windows flew open and cold air rushed in.

I screamed.

The voices laughed their high pitched laughter filling my ears.

"w-w-w-who a-a-a-are y-y-y-you" I shiver from the cold.

I suddenly felt sticky substance running down my arms. I got up to switch on the light. I fumbled on the Walls until I found it I switched it and nothing. No power. I grab a flashlight from my bedtime table and flick it on. I look at myself in the mirror and see blood runing down my face. I was so scared and so sure I was going to die tonight that I was sweating blood. It was everywhere on my arms on my legs. I decided to take a shower I fumble through the darkness and find the bathroom I open it and leave the flash light on the bathroom bench so I could see. I turn on the shower but instead of water coming out of the shower blood comes pouring out. Sticky red blood covers my body with the extra blood. I screamed and dried myself off with a towel. I try the light in the bathroom it flickers on.

"thank god" I mumble to myself.

But then I see the mirror and scream from the steam in the shower there was a message:

You will die

My brothers pleads filled my ears again.

"ppplease nnnot lllllayla"

I rushed into my bed not caring to get my pyjamas on.

The next morning:

"washing please!" the maid yelled "miss washing! I need to collect it!" she yelled again. Another newbie the maid sighed they never knew the way it worked around here they always slept in.

"ok miss I'm coming in" she unlocked the door finding a horror scene...

There was blood everywhere layla's body was gone and there was a message on the wall saying.

We warned you.

No one ever slept in Layla's room again some say that they could still hear Layla's deafening screams as she vanished into thin air.

The maid was taken to court and it was decided she was crazy no one could disappear in fact the maid was charged guilty for the murder of Layla perryweather but I don't think she did it do you?
