"Here" I take the book from my mother's hand as she walks to the table. I look at it, and turn to my mother. "What is it about mother?" She looks at me and laughs, " Nothing, just a blank book." She smiles and continues to drink her coffee in peace. "What do i use it for mother? Its not like the other books you've given to me." She stands and takes the book from my hand and opens it. "I wish for you to write a journal about you life, or do whatever you like to the book. Create a story like the ones you have read before." She hands me the book and its opened to the first page, I close it shut. I smiled and thanked her for the book. I walked to the back yard and set myself at the swings. My life has always been in the forest. The only person I've seen in my life has been my mother. My mother says my father died in a fight trying to protect her. Medusa, a witch that is able to turn people into stone. He had fallen in love with her when they first meet, funny isn't it? A mere human fell in love with a witch. After his death she found out she was going to give birth to me.
I look to the light blue sky above me, I wish I could see what the world has to offer. I push my self on the swing and hum to myself. A bird lands to the tree next to me, i smile at it. " Hi buddy, what are you doing here?" I wonder when the day will come when l will see a human. Face to face.I just hope they accept what l am. A breeze kicks in and the bird flys away. I turn my head to follow where the bird goes. Its free to do what it likes, but i'm here stuck in the deep forest...
I spend the rest of the after noon at the swings. The sky had gone into a dark blue shade with a orange shade. My mother calls me from the back door. I walk my way to the door and hold the book in my right hand. "Are you hungry honey? Would you like some tea?" I shake my head and tell her I feel a little sleepy. She gives me a worried look and sighed, she tells me to have a sweet dream and kisses my head. I run my way to my room and lock it. I jump into my bed and pull the covers over my head. I look to the drawer and see the blank book mother gave me. I sigh and pull the covers to my face. Letting darkness fill my sight.
"RUN! He'll make you into stone." I stare to the kids in front of me. I try to walk to one of them, before I feel a big pain to the right side of my eye. I fall back, landing on my back. Holding my right eye and whimper in pain. " NOW'S OUR CHANCE!" I hear them running away. I feel water like liquid on my hand. I move my hand to see what's on it and see red water.
Blood.
I lift myself from the floor and see my mother standing there with her hands open. " Its ok Marco my love. Come here." I feel tears in my eyes and run to her open arms. She holds me in her arms as I cry on her chest. But I feel her grip tighten and I look up at her. Her face looks like shes in pain," Mother?" I ask in a worried voice. She smiles,"Run Marco, remember to not to walk outside the forest line." I look at my mother with my head tilted to the side. "Mother?" I ask again, worried about the way she was talking. As if someone was hurting her, pain in her voice. Until she speaks up again. But this time words don't come out. But a red liquid drips from her mouth, blood dripping from her mouth. My eyes widen and I take my mothers face into my hands. "Mother?" She looks to my eyes and smiles. "Re-" she drops to her side, I panic. I pat my mothers face but then see two shoes in my sight. I look up and see a man grinning at me. I look at my mother and see a knife in her back. Blood dripping from the opening cut. I scream, as I notice what is happening. The man had pulled the knife from my mothers back. And before I can move I feel a strong pain in my chest. I look down and see the knife there. Blood now dripping from my chest. I fall to my side like mother had and look to the mans face. Tears falling on my face, he said one last thing before walking away. "Die." The darkness had taken over my sight.
I burst from my bed, coughing. I hear my mother's voice as she opens the door. "Honey w-" before she had a chance to speak I wrapped my arms around her and cried into her chest. I feel the warmth of her hands wrap around my back. She strokes my hair and kisses my head. We stayed like that for a good half an hour. After I calmed down I told her about my dream. She smiled and lifted me up and laid me in bed. "Nothing will ever happen like that. I promise my love." I look into her eyes and smile,hearing her words claimed me down. She kisses me and walks to the door, "Good night love." "Good night..." Before she closed the door I spoke up," MOTHER!" She turns her head and looks my way. " can ... Can you sleep with me tonight?" I cover my face up with the sheets and heard her giggles. She walks to my bed and waves her hand to tell me to move down. She lays in bed, she wraps her hands around me. "Good night love." She kisses me and closed her eyes. "Good night" I said, feeling her warmth in the bed made me smile. I close eyes wishing for her warmth to never go away. wishing my dream would never come into reality. Wishing to never see a human. Wishing that it would only be me and mother.
Oh how foolish I was. I hear ticking in my head, voices telling me to kill them off. A monster inside me had woken.
