In Love With The Grand Guignol

Night Five

"Are you ok?" Mira asked me as I entered in her house. I have seen this house so many times. Her parents were looking at me. I'm pretty sure they don't want me here, I don't think they ever did.

"Yes, I am" I looked at Mira, then I looked at the stairs. She understood what I wanted and we went upstairs. "You changed your room." I said.

"Yes. Do you like it?" her room is full of posters of actors and actresses and singers.

"Yes, it's pretty." I said. You can see I cried.

"Do you... I don't know....maybe talk about what happened?" she asked. To be honest I don't think I want, but I need to talk to somebody. I paused, I looked at her then I looked down.

"Sure.." I said. My voice cracked a little bit. "What do you want to know?" I asked. There are so many things that happened. Where should I start? Me asking my mom a lot of questions? My mom yelling at me or my mom throwing that plate at me? My head hurts so bad.

"How did it start? I mean did you said something or did she just got mad?" Mira is very calm. If she would come to my house after she ran away I would panic.

"Tomorrow I am babysitting and I asked her questions about the kid. She got mad and yelled at me, then she threw a plate at me." I said. She looked shocked. I was too. My mom is usually a really calm person. I don't know what happened to her today.

We talked for a while, then we went downstairs to eat dinner. After dinner we went to sleep. I am sleeping in the guests room. I like the room. It looks like my room: blue walls. blue bed sheets, a wardrobe right in front of the bed. I change in my pijamas. Mira's parents didn't tell me anything about my mom. I guess she didn't even care I left. That's a reason for me to never go back. Lately my mom and dad fought a lot.

Anyway, I lie in bed. I can't fall asleep, I'm scared the Grand Guignol will come and here is not the best place for him to come. Fog is coming from under the bed and from the wardrobe. No. Not here! The doors are opening slowly. I can see two hands with very long fingers. The Grand Guignol's hands.

"Hello, Skylar Bell!" The Grand Guignol said. I am shaking. "Here your mom can't come to save you!"

"Leave me alone!" I screamed hoping that somebody will here me and come. Nobody did.

"To leave you alone? Oh, I'm never going to leave you alone." what? I get it he wants revenge, but this is too far! Tears were going down my face.

***The Grand Guignol's POV***
She started crying. Tears were going down her red cheeks. I looked her in the eyes, they are so blue. This is the monster my dad told me about. Well that monster is right in front of me crying because she is scared. I can't take her nightmares. I just can't. Not now.

"Are you ok?" I said trying not to scare her even more. She looked at me confused. To be honest I was confused too.

"What?" she said.

"I asked you if you are ok." she looked at me right in the eyes. A shiver went down my spine. She paused. She was just looking at me.

"Is this a joke?" she asked. She looked furious.

"What? No!" I said. I think I scared her.

"So you come here just to yell and then ask me if I am ok? Are you stupid?" I tried not to yell. For some reason I don't want to scare her. I don't want to hurt her.
