Inside my mind

flashlight tag

I wake up with a pain in my back which causes me to wince and bite my lip out of pain. I look around slowly as my vision becomes less blurred and back into focus.

My mum was sat on my bed, and Flora was next to her. No sign of Miles. Again. "what happened?" I asked. Kate sighed and looked at me. "you fell off the horse" she said queitly. So that's why my back hurts.

"What happened to Miles?! Is he ok!?" I asked suddenly realising that he could be in danger. And right on queue he walks inside. "I'm ok" he said bluntly.

He almost had no emotion in his voice at the moment. "Oh... Ok" I said lying back down again. "We'll leave you to rest honey" My mum said taking flora's hand and walking out.

However Miles didn't. He watched as Kate closed the door and came and say on the bed next to me. "What are you doing?" I ask. He shrugs and stares at me.

Miles' pov
As much as I hate to admit it, she was still really pretty. "what are you doing?" She asked and I shrugged in response before staring at her.

"You said it was rude to stare" she said slightly giggling afterwards. "Mhm. It is" I replied looking away.

"So why are you doing it?" She asked completely confused. "Because, I can do what I want" I got up off her bed and walk towards the door.

"Miles?" She asks quietly. "Yeah?" I ask turning around. "Thank you for bringing me back here" she said, closing her eyes. She looked like she had fallen asleep and I walked out slowly - and quietly - and closed the door behind me.

I walk back into my room and sit on the floor. I don't know what I was doing anymore. One moment I really like her, and then the next I feel like punching her...

I woke up 4 hours later when my mum came in saying that they were about to have lunch. So I got up, and changes into something presentable.

I walked into the living room and sat next to Flora. "So who's this one?" I say hinting to the doll. "This is Eve" "Hello Eve" I said giggling a little.

"She likes you" Flora said smiling. "Well tell her I like her too" I said smiling back. Kate brings in the lunch and Flora and I say thank you.

Miles walks in, but he looks completely soaked and dead inside. Like something was tearing him apart.

He came and walked in front of us. Flora immediately hugged him and he hugged her back. Even though he's like twice her size, he still hugs her.

Miles' pov
I heard that fucking voice again. And it was starting to drive me a little insane. I walked into the bathroom and hopped into the tub, filling it all the way. Yes, I had my clothes still on. And yes, I don't give a shit.

I wanted to be able to get rid of the voice. But all that happened was I felt like I was sinking. Something was pulling me down. And I could feel myself slowly falling asleep.

He had suggested to play flashlight tag. And me being the dumbass I am, I didn't know what that was. "It's when we turn all the lights off and 1 of us has to find the others with flashlights!" Flora explains.

I nod and take the torch. My mum sits this one out and I close my eyes waiting for Flora and Miles to run and hide. I give them until the count of 30 before I open my eyes and start roaming the house.

I run up the stairs and turn around making sure nobody was hiding there. I walked down the corridor and I found Flora hiding in the stairs banister.

I had no idea how she fit in there. But she did. She walked back downstairs and told me that she would be waiting for me in the living room again once I found Miles.

I continued to walk down the hallway and began getting scared as a faint giggle kept repeating itself with each step I took.

I found myself walking around a party of the house I didn't know, and it was dark. And dingy. And creepy. And yet me being the dumbass I am - again - I still continue walking down the hallway.

It turns from the normal boards and into stone, causing it to become darker and me to become terrified. The giggle grows louder and surrounds me in the hallway as I start crying.

"I'm sorry I don't want to play anymore!" I shout. But nobody comes out of any doors or anything, so I say it again and still nothing happens.

"STOP PLAYING NOW! IT'S NOT FUNNY!" I shout crying more from the giggles and gusts of wind. "IT'S NOT SAFE!" I hear ab evil laugh and a shadow appears from the end of the hallway.

As it creeps further that's enough for me to book it and run. I drop the flashlight and use all my power and fear to make me run faster away from that. Thing.

I run into the living room and I was shocked. Flora, Miles, my mum and Mrs. Grose where all sat there enjoying their lunch.

"You fucking demons!" I yell. Flora and Miles turn around and I can see the slight smirk on his face. That little bastard.

Mrs. Grose walked up to me trying to calm me down. "THEY'RE TERRIFYING ME!" I scream as my mum holds me down. Which just makes me wants to run away more.

"What are you talking about dear?" Mrs. Grose asked me, once I had calmed down a little. "I found Flora. But Miles thought it would be funny to terrorise me with the game!" "What are you talking about? He's been here for the past 15 minutes with me" Mrs. Grose said confused.

Wait. Miles was here this whole time. And so was flora. So who was that in the hallway?

"It's a secret..."
