Crystal Beginnings- Child's Play

Chapter 2

A Step into Madness

I sat on the cold tile floor staring at my reflection. I pounded the floor as hard as I could, I couldn't even bare look at myself. How could I leave Kevin there? How could I just run like that? I put my knees against my forehead and started to cry. The warm tears fell from my face and onto my knees, then I wiped them with my hand. I got to my feet, but just fell right back onto the floor. I wasn't going anywhere for a while. I reached into my pocket to find my cell phone, and then I remember I forgot to charge it. So I threw it across the room. Just my luck. I thought about what Kevin said to me "Help me." I broke down again this time screaming out my frustrations.

"Fuck you, Herald! Fuck You!" I screamed while crying; every syllable became less audible till I began to whisper. This is your entire fault I thought, I would never have gone to the park if it weren't for you. Kevin would still be alive. After 20 minutes of straight sobbing I knew I had to do something. The house seemed empty, but candles were lit, and the house seemed to be fairly clean. So I turned to my right and opened the door. It turned out to be a magnificent dinning hall.

"Wow" I expressed while looking at everything, the most beautiful china was set up on the table, enormous portraits hung from the wall. I saw a typewriter…don't know exactly why it was there. After cringing at my reflection from the china I herd a strange moan. "Thank god" I thought as I went through a door on the right. When I opened the door it seemed like a long hallway, but it was dimly lit, I saw a shadowy figure long in the distance. I hoped it was a nice old man who could help me… but I was dead wrong…dead wrong. I ran up to him and grabbed his arm.

"Excuseme, butIknowyoudon'tknowwhoIambutIreallyneedsomehelp…" I begged not breathing in-between words, and then I looked at this face. It was completely white, parts of flesh were exposed and he smelled of a rotting corpse. I stopped and said "Um…are you ok sir?" I started to back off a little.

He just stood there and looked at me with his dead eyes. I froze once again, just staring at him. Then as I was about to turn around, he lashed out at me. I tried to run as fast as I can, but he managed to dive on the back of my leg. He dug his nails right into my leg, exposing my blood to the outside world, I let out a scream of pain and kicked him with my other foot. I ran down the hallway limping and saw another door, I opened the door to find another man just like him. With all my force I pushed him in the chest, and he fell on the floor with practically no reaction. I noticed a closet and ran into it. I sat there curled up against the wall under some coats. The room was extremely cramped, and I was extremely nervous. I began to breathe heavier, tears once again ran down my cheek, and I started to tremble. Then I saw a shadow under the doorway crack, and I held my breath. My hands were still trembling no matter how hard I tried to stop. I whispered "I don't want to die, oh god, I don't want to die" which is sort of ironic, considering I'm an atheist. The shadow left, and I herd footsteps go farther away from the closet till I herd a door close. I stayed in that closet for half an hour.

I thought "what was that thing", and if it was some how connected to those dogs. I didn't even want to think of the dogs. "Well, there is no use sitting in a closet all day" I said to myself. "I can't leave the house, because those damn dogs are outside, perhaps I could find a phone." I rolled my eyes this had all the making of a crappy horror story, and I got to be the main character.
