This story is silent, for you should always suffer in silents.

Rose was average, a little short for her age but she was only twenty years old and five feet, four inches. Rose had long dark brown hair that was almost black that went down to the middle of her back. She had dark brown eyes with little specks of gold in them, her skin was tan and she looked like she was sixteen.

Rose's leg was hurting as she walked slowly up the flight of stairs. There was a window open at the top landing and a slight breeze was blowing the curtain. The light bulb at the top of the stairs was burned out, but the moonlight was shining on the top few steps. She continued up the stairs worried about her leg. When she made it up to her apartment she went to bed, but couldn't sleep because all she could hear was the wind blowing, and the thunder from a storm. In the morning on her way to work she had a hard time keeping her eyes open. As rose was walking she felt like something had changed. She had a big day so she put it off for later.

When rose got home something was wrong, all the photos on her wall were blood red. She thought she saw a shadow from the corner of her eye, but when she turned around nothing was there. Turning back to the photos they were back normal, she thought she was crazy. She was making dinner when she heard it, a crow outside her window. When she opened it the crow flew in and sat on the table. Trying to get it to fly back out the window, it pecked at her then left. There was blood running down her arm from where the crow had pecked her, she went to go clean it off. After that she stayed home the next day thinking she just needed some sleep. Rose cleaned all day trying to get her mind off of what happened the day before. Sadly it didn't do much, she still felt like something was wrong. Rose fell into bed and went to sleep. In the morning she was late for work and had to run the whole way there.

When she got home she saw that the same thing had happened. She started dinner, and then the crow was back. But this time when the crow pecked at her the blood wouldn't stop flowing from her arm, soon the blood turned black as it stopped flowing down her arm she felt cold. She cleaned her arm and there where the blood was, was a strange mark. It looked like an eye, the middle was black with a red ring around it and the outline of the eye was marked with little black dots. Rose tried to scrub it off but it stayed there. There was nothing she could do about it. That night as she fell asleep she had a strange dream, she was surrounded by darkness and there was a soft glow on her skin. She looked around trying to see, everything was black. Then she heard an eco of footsteps walking towards her. She tried to run away but she couldn't move. The footsteps keep getting closer. She stood there in fear, hoping that this nightmare would end soon. As the footsteps came closer she notated that the glow on her skin grew brighter as if there was energy inside of her. Her skin started to feel warmer in till it started to burn her. She screamed out in pain, the heat was consuming her and, then she woke up.
