"I never feared the dark, until I became part of it.
My eyes fluttered open; yet nothing seemed to change. Inky blackness swirled around me. A scream rose in my throat, but I quickly swallowed it. I pressed my eyes closed, hoping that when I opened them again, I'd be able to see something, anything.
Nothing."
I read that from a book and for the first time. I knew how she felt.
I tried to shift my body so I could sit up. I couldn't move anything but my hands. I move my hands and felt silk smooth silk. Thats when I felt the wood on the sides and in front of me. I heard a scream and realized it was mine. I was panicking and knew that I needed to find a way out of here. That's when I pushed up on the wood until my hands were bleeding. Dirt came in threw the crack and on my face. I was finally able to move my legs. That's when I kicked the coffin open hoping there was not much dirt on top. I was thankful whoever had locked me in there hadn't gone so far as to bury me. I mean, I remember the time my friends had locked a sleeping boy named Dillon Read in Destiny Martin's trunk after Homecoming, but that was a joke, and someone was waiting to let him out. They'd gone too far this time.
That when I realized I was at the bottom of a grave, about six feet down. No one had bothered to leave me a rope or anything. Fear melted into anger. My breath hung in the air in front of me, yet I couldn't feel the chill. Time to do some climbing. The same dumb ass responsible for this sick joke also had the wise idea of locking me in there in nothing more than a pair of pink high heels. I kicked them off and stood on the lid of the coffin.The earthen walls were as smooth and hard as stone. My fingers searched the dirt for leverage. There were few options. With one swift motion, I slammed the pink spiked heel into the hard-packed earth. I dug my bare toes into the makeshift ladder. The shoes held my weight and after a minute I was able to pull myself over the edge.
When I got out I looked down and saw a pink sparkly dress that was covered in dirt. I hate dresses so it must of been a special accusation. I took a step and fell to the ground. I got back up and took another step knowing that I have to get to a house. I started waking fine and kept on walking towards a house. That's when I saw someone following me. I saw him running towards me. I stopped in my tracks hoping that he didn't see me just get out of a coffin and climb out of a grave.
