The Inner Me
Chapter 2
The time was now 2:35 PM. Matilda lay sprawled out on her bed, half asleep. She
glanced over at Jack. The doll was sitting in the corner of the room, it's "eyes" staring
blankly at the floor. She got up and stared at it. "Hmm...so easily I could just..." the doll
started to glow and get's up, pulling out one of it's knives. It moves to her will, bringing
up one of the knives and pushing it against her neck. It applies more presure to the blade,
causing a trickle of blood to drip out. Just then, the shaman hears the front door open,
snapping her out of the trance. Jacks drops to the floor, lifeless once again.
Matilda walks into the living room, only
to be greeted by Kanna and Mari. Kanna raised her hand in greeting. "Yo. We got groceries...."
Marion eagerly spoke up. "Mari bought shoes!!" "Are they black shoes?" Machi asked.
"Aww...how'd you guess?" Mari replied, pouting. Kanna was putting away the groceries.
"Did you sleep ok, Machi?" she asked. "Yeah..." the red head replied faintly. The blue
haired woman finished and returned to the living room. "Yeah, sorry about messing with
your alarm, but-" she paused, causing the others to look up at her. "Machi...what
happened to your neck?" Machi instantly placed a hand to her neck. She had forgotten
all about that! "Err...my neck? Oh! This! I...err...fell out of bed...uhh...and landed on Jack!"
she exclaimed. Kanna gave her a suspicious look. "Ah....well...be sure to patch it up, ok?"
Umm...right!" Matilda replied, as she headed to the washroom down the hall. As soon as
she was gone, Kanna whispered to Mari. "Do you think she's ok? She doesn't seem like
herself." Mari looked up from admiring her new shoes. "Mari doesn't know. Why don't you
ask her?" The older shaman thought for a moment, before lighting up a new cigarette.
"Hmm...maybe I should....."
Machi stood staring at herself in the bathroom mirror. "I'm
so pale looking." she thought, wiping the blood from the side of her neck. She ran her fingers
over the cut. "I'm not like that....I don't want to die.....do I?" She bandaged the wound and
looks at the mirror one more time. She begins to remember again.....
*Begin Flashback*
The year was 1995. Matilda was doing as well in school as a 9
year old could. Her "incidents" still ocurred, though not very often. Whenever they did, they
were disregarded, thought to be mere figments of the student's imaginations. It was Spring,
and Machi was on her way to school wearing a new blue coat. She loved the Spring time
because everything looked and smelled nice. She finally got to school, having picked some
flowers. She entered her classroom, stuffing the flowers in her coat pocket and then hanging
it up. It was math....her most hated subject, for she wasn't as good at it as her other classes.
The class went on uneventfully, until
the teacher was called down to the office. "I'll be right back." the teacher said, before departing.
As soon as she left, Machi found herself bombared with a hail of paper balls. This happened
usually everyday, and the girl had built an immunity of sorts to it. "Haha, freak!" one girl
shouted, throwing another paper ball at the red head. "Go home you monster!" another said,
doing the same as the others. Machi sat silently, taking in the abuse. A boy walked over to
the coat racks, grasping a familiar blue material. "Hey look, it's the freak's coat!" the boy
yelled out. He then preceded to write all over it in crayon, causing the flowers to fall out.
"What's this? Ha! Monsters can't have flowers!" he said, stomping all over them. That was
it. She had had enough. She glared at the boy, her coat starting to glow. It wraps around
his head, and he stumbles around in a panic. "W-what's going on!?" he yells out. The girl
just smiles as the boy runs into the wall, breaking his arm. Of course, no one other than
the students of that class believed a word of it.....
*End Flashback*
Mari and Kanna were watching TV when they heard a loud smash from the
bathroom......
A/N: So, am I getting better at this? I fixed my writing structure.....I think. @__@
Anywho, I left an evil cliffhanger, muhahahaha!!!
