Next chapter up please review!
No one in sight…
I raised my hands to my head pushing on my forehead. Where was everyone?
"Dad!" I yelled. No answer…"Alex, Mom!" no answer….. I was alone in a hotel room. The woman was gone…where was the man? I lifted my body with all my strength to an upright position. I turned my head carefully, looking around the room. It was the same room. The shattered lamb was spread across the floor and the metal piece was wrapped with that man's blood.
I slowly lifted from the bed and walked toward the door. I reached for the handle about to turn it. Should I open the door? I thought to myself, what could happen. This "vacation" isn't much of a relaxing fun one. I grabbed my side putting pressure on it to relieve the aching pain of my bruise.
I opened the door and peered outside. "Hello!" I yell out. "Anybody?"
There was only the sound of the wind sweeping against the house. I wanted Alex to be here with me.
I walked slowly and cautiously to the front office. The TV was on. Guess what happens next….no one was there.
I walked back outside, crunching over at the pain stabbing my stomach. I had just realized that it was still dark outside. What time was it? How long was I asleep? It had been almost morning when I fell asleep. This doesn't feel right.
I turned to the woods. It was really cold out and my jacket hardly kept me warm. I stepped closer to the tree line.
In the distance I faintly heard, "Scott!" My head shot up. It was Alex's voice. I know that is him. "Scott!" after the second time I ran through the woods. It felt like my lungs were shriveled up. I held in the pain. I tripped over some tree roots and fell sliding against the dirt floor.
"Scott! Please HELP!" I pushed myself to my feet and began pressing forward. It grew darker as I got farther in. "ALEX!" I screamed. I felt like I couldn't talk. Almost as if I was going mute. My ears were ringing and my head was spinning. "AL….X!" it came out as a whisper.
I leaned against a tall twisted tree. I felt alone, hopeless, and even scared. "Alex, mom, dad, please." I said to myself.
I have always hated the dark. Not itself but what may be in it. I took one step forward and fell to my knees. I was in no condition to be walking. As I sat there I felt a cold hand touch my shoulder. I let out a yelp and shifted back.
"Whose there!" I was frightened. The worst part was my eyes were to blurry to make out the shape of the person. "Scott!" It was Alex's voice. "Alleexxx?" I couldn't have been any happier.
He ran to me and hugged me tight around my chest. I grunted from the pain and he let go. "sorry..," he sounded like he had been crying. I didn't care, so I sat him down next to me and threw my arms around him.
"ale….alex what's going on?" I tried to open my eyes to get a good look at him, but it wasn't working.
"Mom…dad…..there gone." His little voice sent a shiver down my spine. "Gone? What do you mean gone?"
"The evil man took him." My body went numb. "What evil man Alex," I couldn't believe the words that came from his mouth.
"The evil man. With the red eyes."
My mind went blank.
"Alex I don't understand." When I said the words Alex got up and disappeared into the darkness.
"Alex! Where are you going." I tried to get up but I couldn't. I started to crawl but it felt like a 1000 bricks where stacked on my back. I laid down with my face smashed in the dirt. I turned and rested on my back. There was no sky, just the ends of the black trees caving in on me. This has to be a nightmare. I just need to wake up. Wake up! Wake up! I pushed my eyelids together. Nothing worked.
I have to be asleep none of this makes sense. "This is a dream."
A voice crept up behind me in the darkness. "Oh this isn't a dream, its worse than that. More like a nightmare," I shivered from the voice. It was deep and cold. I tried to get up but I couldn't move.
"What…what is going on? Who are you…what is this!?" The voice got louder now.
"Oh Scott..silly little boy. I told you twice already." The fear in my body doubled making my body tighten.
"What do you want from me? Somebody help! Mom! Dad! Alex!" I used any bit of strength to yell their names. It was hopeless. My pain increased 5 times since I was at the hotel. I could die right here and right now.
"Please don't kill me.." The words crushed my ears.
"Oh I'm not going to kill you…for now." The man placed his hand on my shoulder. He began to dig his nails into my skin. I grunted at the pain.
My eyes began to blacken. My sight was being taken from me. "Ahhhh HELP!"
"I suppose I must remind you again…." I didn't know what he meant be that. Remind me? Of what?
"I told you Scott, You would be mine."
Should i go on.. what do you think!
