-Chapter Two-

Putting her skateboard on the floor next to her Asking Alexandria, Black Veil Brides, Avenged Sevenfold, All Time Low, and Fall Out Boy skateboards, she pulled the sweatshirt she was wearing over her head, tossing it over to the other end of her room where it caught onto the edge of her bookcase, hanging, meanwhile she was kicking off her converse, them scattering across the floor to her closet door with her socks falling next to them just before she walked over to her bed, laying down as she grabbed her laptop. Opening her laptop, she clicked on tumblr just before checking facebook, scrolling through all the posts until she found one about her favorite show, Doctor Who, taking about the twelfth Doctor that was just announced. Who knew a girl could like Doctor Who and like Black Veil Brides? Just as she finished looking at the post, someone knocked on her door, being her aunt as she came inside.

"Where were you last night?" Her aunt asked, usually being the nicest aunt in the world, but right now she looked frightened and angry.

"There was an accident and I had to go to the hospital." Ellie whispered, staring up at her aunt through the hair that dangled in front of her eyes.

"What happened," Her aunt asked as she watched her stand up, pulling her shirt up as she was shown a white bandage across her stomach. "Do you feel alright?"
"Don't worry. Nothing bad happened. It was a simple mugging and I got on the wrong side." Her aunt came over to her, hugging her as she whispered, "I'm glad your still here."

"Can I go to sleep? I figure a stab wound would need some healing time." Ellie asked, watching her aunt nod her head as she finished hugging her, leaving the room.

Once her aunt had left, she went to the bathroom, changing into a pair of black skinny jeans, a Black Veil Brides tank top, pulling her leather jacket over her skinny body. Changing into her black All-Star converse, she picked up her A Day To Remember skateboard, going over to the window where the fire escape was. Climbing out, she shut her window, leaving a crack open when she would come back to her room. Taking out her iPhone, she saw the time was five, giving her seven hours to waste until she would say goodbye to Jamie. Shoving her iPhone back into her right pocket, she climbed down the fire escape, trying not to make any noise to notify her aunt of her leaving. Once on the ground, she took out her iPod, turning it on as she put on Stella- All Time Low, shoving an earphone in her left ear, taking off on her skateboard.

Wasting six of the seven hours on riding around town, buying a few items here and there, she made her way to the middle of the woods, her skateboard in one hand as she tried to find a spot to wait. Seeing a spot where a little area was clear, she slid her back against the tree, sighing as she saw her breath become visible in front of her eyes. After twenty minutes of waiting, she took out her iPhone to see it was about half an hour until midnight, her sliding on the ground as she rested her head against her knee. When the half an hour passed, midnight came along, the full moon shining in the distance as she heard a few leaves crumpling from behind her. Taking out her iPod, shutting it off, and shoving it, along with her earphones, back into her left pocket, she looked behind her to see two pairs of yellow eyes staring into her dark blue eyes.

Her breath shortening, she dropped to the ground as she started to use her arms to help her crawl away, her feet kicking back as she managed to get on her feet, starting to run. After two minutes of running, she ducked behind a tree, holding her breath as she slowly moved her hand against her mouth, trying to slow down her heartbeat along with her breathing. Looking around the tree, she saw the mist forming around the woods, nothing appearing, which made her begin to walk back, unknowing of a rock behind her, the cause of her tripping over it and falling. Rolling down the hill, she hit the bottom only for her to hit her head on a rock, cutting open a spot above her right eye. Reaching up to her gash, she heard the sound of breathing from behind her, the breath on the back of her neck, making her slowly turn around to see the two creatures behind her.

Trying to run, Ellie stood up only to be knocked back on the ground by her right ankle, suddenly feeling the creature pulling it back. Kicking, she managed to grab a log, gripping onto it only to be pulled further back, the tips of her fingers being pricked, drops of blood coming out of them. Feeling the creature's claws, flip her over by her stomach, her eyes flashed into the yellow eyes, it gripping her shoulder as it went near her neck, about to bite her when a howl echoed in the woods. Stopping, the two creatures looked behind them to see another one of them, only with red eyes, coming towards them, throwing them off of Ellie who crawled away, turned on her stomach as she did so. Once a safe distance from where she used to be, her eyes flickered back to see the creatures gone, the woods echoing the sounds of birds chirping and owls calling out.

The morning light hit her eyes, her pushing her head under the covers as she tilted her head over to see her clothes she was wearing the previous night in the corner, some blood on them with claw marks in the side, shredding the side of her Black Veil Brides tank top. Swinging her legs from under her covers, she picked up the tank top, pushing it under her bed before her aunt came in the room.

"What happened to you face?" Her aunt asked as she bent down to pull away the black hair that was trying to cover up the gash.

"When I fell over last night, I caught the end of my table and hit the ground. Now that I'm thinking about it, could I stay home today?" She asked as she felt her head pounding, where her aunt touched, it burnt just a little as she tried to take off the dried blood.

"Looks like you need one. You're paler than pale and you're burning up. Just for today, alright?" Her aunt explained her injuries, making sure that she would only get the one day off and not a week.

"Understood." Ellie whispered as her aunt got off the floor, leaving the room to call the school for a sick day that she wanted more than needed.

Crawling back into her bed, she tried to fall back asleep, pushing the nightmare that happened last night to the back of her mind, wanting to just go back into her dreams were she was with her parents.
