Days passing up and feels like I almost recovered, But the nightmares still keep haunting me like the black smoky clouds. At nights I used to hide under the bed sheets. But the best thing was My Dad came to home just about a week ago and he said that this time, he's going to stay with us a little longer. He wanted to spend time with us. So we have our family dinners and joyful days back on the track. I'm very glad and happy to see my parents at dinning table and there conversations mostly my dad told the things where the places he'd went to and
The people he meet and the stories of foreigners funny people he met sometimes he'd mock them in front of us.

But This Time He told us about the story of this one guy that, he'd met while he's travelling on the ship, He looks like a native African. He sat beside my dad and sometime later my dad look at his face he's like terrified. Slowly my dad started conversation, At first my dad introduced he's name as Mr. Clen and so and so then later The African guy introduced himself as Isabis. My dad observed Isabis talking low and like a very strange marks all over him. My dad didn't went on that much to ask him at that time. But later that night they both cheering a beer and Isabis told him that he and his friends started for a trip to Dominican Republic about four and half months they bought a small boat and started their journey so they came to a place the water flows down the hills so suddenly the boat hit strongly to a rock so a little wreck happened in the front side of the boat to the boat and their map was fully drowned in the water and the print was almost faded but a little lines still appearing. so they drawn the lines which are vaguely appearing and they decided to walk. While they're walking after a miles away suddenly one of his friend knocked down by the arrow and there's this people surrounded them and they blind folded their eyes and took them to their place and Isabis was just hearing the sounds of his friends scream and he can't see and later sometime they untied his blindfolded eyes. He noticed it's a tribal place they lift him and tied him naked to a tree and they started marking a tattoos like some kinda architect thing all over his body with firing arrows and Isabis friends weren't there anymore. He thought that they'd killed his friends and now it's his turn to die but they lit a fire in front of him and left alone. He's like hanging naked to the tree and He's body was like blooded sweat dropping on the ground with that fire heat he's wounds started burning and with the heavy winds the fire reaching up his kneels slowly he untied him by using that fire and ran from there like nakedly. After he ran miles and miles, some weeks later he found so many dead people he took one of their dress and things which is useful for him to survive.then he started walking again, he finally found the sea then he saw the ship and he then said now here I am. Then my dad asked so what's the tattoos about uhh I mean what they really mean.
Isabis "I dunno wholly but I know this one line in the whole it means They're giving the body to their ancestors by removing souls of existed ones" Then later they both said goodnight and went off the next morning my dad was looking up for Isabis, he's not there and my dad even ask for people they said they didn't know and the ship didn't even stopped for a bit. My dad said that Isabis was like disappeared or vanished.

I said to my Dad that's so strange. it's really terrible and later I said goodnight to my parents and went to my bed. I was thinking that may be the scratch that I'd got which is similar from my dream, is that have any sense of meaning. I was thinking by smoothly scrubbing that scratch.
The days passing and I dunno sometimes I hear the phone ringing downstairs and then the swinging of chairs sometimes moving of my bed it feels like I'm falling on the ground

But last night also I heard the phone ringing again, I first Ignored and slept but then later at night I woke up and felt so thirsty and I've got no water near me so I started walking to down stairs and I drank water then I started walk back again to the upstairs but then suddenly while I'm crossing near the phone it started to rang continuously I suddenly freaked out and moved a little away abruptly. Then slowly I hang on the phone and said "who's this ? " But there's no answer all I heard was " errr.. Brbrbrt errr" But a bit later I clearly notice there's something in the background of that noisy sounds someone like smiling and haunting sounds my heart pounds to that noise and then I started run to my bed when I put my leg at third step suddenly the hanging wall clock was fell off on the ground and the minute hand of the clock was continuously rotating anticlockwise direction and it started slower a bit later then the seconds and hour hands of the clock also started rotating and the three hands of the clock pin pointed at one point of the direction.

I woke up at the morning on my bed. My dad wake me up and greet me. He said that today is the day I need to go back to school again. Well, I'm so excited to meet my friends again after along time and there's much more hard work I need to do now. Mom and dad they both came to drop me at school. I said bye and love to them and they went off. I started walking to the hallway. I saw zach and I was like omg! He looks way more different now from the past one I'd known. He did spike his hair differently and colored a little blue and it's awesome his dressing style he's wearing a blue white coloured of jacket and a big sized rounded little dark blue coloured spectacles which it was matched with the costume and the pair of shoes. He saw me and started walking directly towards me suddenly the rushed hallway gives him the way by moving sideways like he's some kind of superhero and then I saw him holding a girl hand and it's Jessica a senior girl, I was just shocked just like that and people talking they're cute couple. He came to me and said
"Hey Clay, are you alright now. I missed you man" We hugged and I replied to him "Yeah, absolutely I'm fine ohh great"
And he introduced Jessica to me. they both handed me a gift for my recovery a tape which is mixed of my favourite songs Later a bit Jessica said that she's going to class and went off . So zach and I were talking about how he's making out with Jessica. she's a senior girl and I asked how he got this much reputation, while we're talking someone closed my eyes and later a moment opened my eyes, it's maya in front of my eyes standing with a flower bouquet and it's my name written on it from jensen and maya and a strike off name zach. The one who closed my eyes was jensen he came up and asked how am I and zach look out that his name was strike out and asking jensen and maya "who did this ?" They said "we both because it's what you did last time" And they're started arguing funnily digging the past things. then suddenly the bell rang so went to our class.

The first class was math. I saw a girl asking too many doubts. She's a new girl and there's another guy just right at the corner to my right side, he's so silent and doing something picturing or writing something. He had bolded skin, brownish eyes twisted lips and he's holding a pencil in his left hand treating it's like a knife the way he's sketching in his notes. he's very strange. While I was looking at board he keeps staring at me and when I look at him he's doing his thing. It's so anonymous he keeps staring at me and then suddenly when I look at his side he smiled at me and his nose was bleeding his eyes turned brown to dark brown and then into red. He started to come towards my side, He keeps sliding from the desk which where he's sitting on now. Then slowly he came closer to my face I was still strange feeling and He said "YOU CAN'T RUN ANYMORE " and he raised the pencil which he was sketching until now in his hands which the lead was long and sharped looks like iron lid. He then suddenly stabbed it into my Neck. I was started shouting out loud. everyone's looking at my side and my Teacher asked "Clay, ARE YOU OK ?" I was still unclear Then maya and jensen poured water on my face. I was then looked out crystal clear to the conscious world. There's no blood on my neck nothing and I started looking at the new guy, he's was still there on his desk, he stopped sketching but still holding the pencil in his left hand and looking at me like everyone what happened to me. Then I said "Nothing, I'm fine" A moment later everyone went back and settled down back to their seats and the class was continued back again.
