Wake up...
A voice whispered in my head while I tried to sleep. I closed my eyes. No, it won't go away so easy. I just want to sleep, please! Leave me alone!
Wake up...
I covered my ears. Please !
A scream from downstaires, or was it again my imagination ? No, it was a scream. A scream full of fear and sadness.
I carefully peeked from under my blanket like a little pussy. My room was dark. No, no darkness. It was... something else.
Whisperes came from the outside of the room. I tried to hear what they say, but couldn't understand.
I closed my eyes again. I just want to sleep, please !
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!"someone shouted and my door opened fast. I was confused. What...?
Seconds later, the person touched my arm. I was scared, didn't want to open my eyes.
"Is everything okay, Jack ?"Marks soft voice said slightly worried. I blinked. In front of me, those chocolate brown eyes I knew so well.
He smiled. "Hey, uhm, I woke you up ?"he asked carefully. I shook my head. "Okay, that's nice, uhm, are you fine?" I nodded quickly but still confused. "You look like like you've seen a ghost"Mark was truely worried. I smiled nervously. "No, really everything's fine"I said and get up.
Nobody's here. Am I crazy ? I looked around. Where is Mark ? He stood right next to me...
Happy Birthday !
I heard this voice echoed in my head.
I laughed. I am crazy ! I stood up and went over to the door. My room was still dark. I opened the door and went then in the hallway.
JACK!!
I heard Mark yelling from downstaires. I smiled. He is still here.
I ran down the staires. Still darkness.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING! GET OFF OF ME!
I heard him yelling from the living room. I carefully peeked in the room. Nobody was there.
Suddenly someone took my hand. I turned around fast.
Mark smiled at me. It was a beautiful smile. "What are you doing here, you shouldn't be here"he said in a low voice. I closed my eyes for a second. When I opened them again everything changed.
The walls were stained with something red. What the hell was going on ?! I looked down at my hands. They were covered in ...blood?!
I fell down on my knees. Crying.
It was you !
The voice in my head yelled.
"NO ! I DIDN'T DO THAT !" I screamed. Tears streamed down my cheeks. It was'nt me.
"Jack?"Marks soft voice said low.
I looked up. He stood right in front of me. Everything was... normal again.
"Are you fine?" he asked worried. I just stared at him.
"Do you wanna do it again?"he asked low.
"What?" I was too confused to say something else. Too confused to think. What the hell was going on ?
A scream behind me. I turned, just to see Mark lying on the ground. He was blood covered. I went over to him fast. Dead. He was dead. Tears fell to the ground. Why ?
"Mark?! Please get up !!" I cried.
It's all your fault ! YOU did this!
The voice in my head again. Now I regonized it. Marks voice...
I opened my eyes. My sight was blurry but I could see the bloody knife in my hands.
Oh my god, what have I done ?!
