POSSESED

Chapter 2

        That night I slept with the heart around my neck. Lia tried to come into my room again but I just locked the door. I was too tired for this. She started banging on my door, ugggg, I just turned over and went to sleep. I woke up, the clock read 12:00 am. I heard a faint noise like someone running around in the basement. I slowly crept out my door, ran down to the basement and slipped inside. I reach for my flashlight and realize I left it in my room.

        I quickly scan the room and see a pair of glowing red eyes, Lia's. I sink down trying to not get noticed. I see Lia's eyes look around then she quickly whipped back around to continue what she was doing. I saw her grab something, It shined before she quickly slipped it into her pocket. I slid over to the right of the door as Lia came up to it. She then poked her head outside if the door and slipped away into the house. I waited until the sound of her treading up the stairs has disappeared. I slipped out into the kitchen, grabbed some water and went back upstairs. On the second story I got stopped by my mom.

        "What are you doing at 3 am?" She asked. 

        "I got some water," I said holding up the bottle.

        "Ok, go back to bed."

        "Ok,bye."

        I didn't realize it was already 3 am. Lia was in there for who knows how many hours before I came in and I was in there for 3 hours. Unbelievable. I sat there for 3 hours watching Lia look for something. I guess I have to sleep. I crawl into bed and quickly doze off.

        The next morning I hear the doorbell ring. I look at the clock 6:00 am. I run up to get the door, its Lacey. She always comes this early to help me get ready. As she picks out my outfit, I tell her about the basement. She finally picked out my outfit an I go and get changed. She picked out a purple tank top crop top and a black skater skirt. I grab my black vans and slip them on. She picked my outfit corresponding to hers, a black skirt, blue crop top and blue vans. I do her makeup and then do mine. We pack our backpacks, mine white with gold and black dots and hers gold with white and black dots. An image pops into my head, I freeze. Its Lia with something in her hand and shes going somewhere at night, I cant see the place, but its big. She enters and it has a bunch of files and books, it looks like the library. She sets the thing from her hand beside her, some scissors. She starts cutting pages from books, ripping pages from newspapers and taking pages from the files. 

        The image stops and Lacey is shaking me.

        "KAELA, KAELA!!!" She screams.

        "I-Im fine," I reply.

        "Good can I do your hair?" She says trying to change the subject.

        She brushes my mid-back length hair and pins one side loosely to the back of my head. I get up, grab some bands and braid her hair in two parts. I throw her braids on on each side of her head. We grab our backpacks and cheer leading bags. While running down stairs I slip and fall banging my back on a corner. Of course Lias here. Lacey helps me up and we continue taking the stairs two by two grabbing the keys and some toast on the way out. Lia stands at the door with the scissors in her hand. I quickly pull away, worried.
