Okay, this story is from Johnny's POV!
Please Review..?
I awoke, gasping for air. I must've had a nightmare. I couldn't quite figure out what it was about though. I was asleep on the Curtis couch and everyone was looking at me, eyes filled with concern.
"You okay, Johnnycake?" Pony asked me, his face pale as chalk.
"Y-Yea-" I was beginning to say, but was cut off.
My eyes locked onto a figure behind Ponyboy. I felt my blood run cold. The creature looked at me, its red glowing eyes; piercing me like knives. It was the form of a young girl, no younger than nine. She gave me a twisted grin and mouthed,
'Tag, Your it…'
And just like that, she was gone.
"Johnnykid, you okay?" Darry's hard stern voice bringing me back to reality.
"U-Uh, Ye-Yeah." I stammered.
"You look like you've seen a ghost," Twobit laughed at his own words.
"Was it all in my head? What did she mean by 'Your it'? Who was she? Was she real?" My thoughts ran into my head at 200 MPH.
Finally, I shrugged it off. I was sleepy that's all. I was just seeing things. That was it. Nothing else.
"You guys hungry?" Darry spoke as he turned toward all of us.
"YES!" Twobit screeched and added, "I'll die if I don't eat, or I'll eat Johnny!"
Hearing my name made my head snap up. Twobit just laughed along with the rest of the gang And I just gave a fake soft laugh. Ponyboy must've realized for he spoke up.
"Uh, Johnny, Can I talk to you?" He whispered trying to get my attention only, but also grabbed Soda's attention.
A got up and slowly trailed behind Ponyboy as he wondered to his and Sodapop's room. Sodapop Finally caught up.
"Uh, dinners ready." Sodapop said cocking and eyebrow.
"Dinner?" I said confused. Had I slept though the whole day?
"You slept all day." Sodapop said, almost as if he had read my thoughts.
"Y-Yeah, It'll only take a second Soda." Pony said slowly closing the door.
We both stood silent till we heard Sodapop's foots steps grow farther and farther away, and the creaking of the stairs reassured us that he was gone. Ponyboy let out a soft sigh.
"You okay, Johnny? You've been acting, I don't know, really weird lately."
"Yeah, I-I just haven't been sleeping a-all too well.." I wasn't about to tell him about the young girl.
"You know you can tell me anything, right?" He questioned softly
"Yeah… Nothing's wrong Pone… I promise."
He didn't seem quite convinced but he let it slide. He unlocked the door and walked downstairs leaving me alone in the old, rundown room.
"Wanna Play?" A soft voice questioned
"W-Who's there..?" I called out into the darkness of the hallway
"Me." And With those words The little girls face was about an Inch from mine. She was covered in blood and reached out for me.
"AHHH!" I screamed and fell to the floor roughly only hearing the footsteps running up the stairs.
