Day 6
The lights flashed and the 'thing' disappeared.
"Eli?" My mother's worried voice echoed throughout the room. I quickly hopped out of bed and stood directly infront of mother. "We have been over this one-thousand times! Stop making a mess when you're supposed to be cleaning the house!" I nodded at what she had demanded, this was nothing new for me, for I had always been a slave for my parents. Surely I couldn't blame this on something that never shows up when they're around. It's always lurking somewhere, waiting for just the right moment to strike. Although you may think I would be completely scared beyond logic, this is normal for me.
"U-Understood." I said qquickly as I got to work on cleaning the entire house. Mother walks off into her room and closes the door. Having full respect for her I spent hours working and cleaning the mess. Father soon walks into the home with muddy shoes and a wet coat. He marches to and fro before taking off his boots and throws his jacket on me as if I were a coatrack. Father had left the door open so that the rain could drench the carpet and make things harder for me. I looked outside to see the man in the suit starring directly at me about from where the lake at the park is, which is about thirty meters away from the door. He points behind me and I question what may be behind me and so I slowly turned around to see nothing but a wall. I turned back and the man was gone. Maybe it was a sign of some sort? A moral... or lesson? The door to my parent's room had made a sound as if it were opened.
"Why aren't you finished yet?!" Mother exclaimed. "You can't do anything right!" She raised his hand into the air and soon enough I felt a fast sting on my left cheek.
"M-Mother!" I yelled.
"Finish the work! Now!" She demanded. I looked back outside to see the man directing me to follow him. "Why are you looking at the door?" I looked back at mother. "You'd better not be thinking about running away!" I turned around quickly and tried to escape, but mother grasped my wrist angrily.
"Let go!" I shouted keeping my face towards the door.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" She yelled at me. I managed to break her grasp and darted out of the front door. I ran in the direction of the man as he turned away from me and as he took one step he disappeared. I continously ran through the park until I reached a forest.
