Here's the second chapter.
I'm halfway through with the next chapter of 'Alone'. :)
Locked In
Locked inside
of this horror land…
"Cody? Did you lock the doors?"
Cody tried to open the doors, again and again and the next time he tried to open his phone, it shut down onto him for no real reason and he found himself trying to break the door down because he was completely and utterly trapped into the room and his head was spinning as he fell down onto the rug.
"Ted! I can't open the doors!"
"…What?"
"I can't open the doors!"
Cody's heart thudded into his chest as he tried to stand up in the bed as he had looked around and he closed his eyes.
"Cody! Are you upset with me? Why is the room all locked?"
"I'm not upset."
Cody's heart was thudding hard into his chest.
Burning inside of his heart.
Burning deep inside of his body.
His heart was racing so hard that he can't even breathe anymore as he tried to open his shut eyes but he didn't want to look around the walls and he didn't want to see his body and he just couldn't handle this.
"You can't handle anything anymore, can you, Cody?"
Cody shook his head.
Pain overtook his fragile little body.
Nothing could make his heart mend good enough anymore. Nothing could make his heart fuse well enough anymore.
Nothing.
"Ted's a liar. I'm a liar…"
Cody shook the thought out of his head.
"No! You're lying to me! Ted isn't a liar! Ted…Ted will never lie to me."
"He said that everything was going to be okay, didn't he? Open your eyes, Cody. Nothing's okay anymore!"
Cody shook his head once again.
He could almost feel himself.
He could almost feel the blood pouring out of his heart.
It just hurt.
It was like stabbing a knife in his heart.
He tried to take another breath but he can't. He tried to register what was happening to him but he couldn't. He just can't.
"No…that can't be right…no…"
"Open your eyes."
Cody didn't.
He rolled around in his bed.
But his 'bed' was prickling him. It didn't even feel like his bed and fear overtook him harder as he fell down onto the prick pieces of…what? And they instantly broke off and as Cody slowly opened an eye, but closed it before he could understand where he was.
He didn't want to believe it.
"Ted is a liar…"
"No."
"Is everything okay, now, Cody?"
"I don't know…"
"Open your eyes. See, Cody. See."
Cody slowly fluttered his eyes opened reluctantly.
His entire world flipped upside down.
He was in a playground. A playground with broken swings and chipped see-saws and broken plates of grass from underneath him and he didn't know why or how he had been here as he threw his backpack to the ground and tried to understand.
He just couldn't.
"You'll finally realize the truth behind the lies, Cody…finally…"
It reminds me of my heart…
Black and dead.
I know. Short. But it's a twist. Twisted chapters are always short for me. Bare with me.
