Chapter 6-Will grows more Distant

Disclaimer-As we all know I don't own WITCH

Will couldn't believe it was happening again. She was staring into the light again, and listening to the voice. And it said the same thing:

"Will, help me Will, help me"

"Will?"

"Will"

"Will?"

"Will"

"Will, wake up dear. Come on Will wake up"

Suddenly Wills eyes snapped open. She was in her room. The blankets on her bed were twisted, and she was shaken up and sweating.

"Are you okay?" her mom was sitting on her bed, and looking at Will in a concerned way. Will sat up, and looked at her mom, still shaking. "What happened?" she asked.

"You were yelling in your sleep", her mom explained. "You were starting to scare me"

"I'm sorry", Will apologized. "I didn't mean to scare you

"It's okay", her mom assured her. She stood up and straightened the blankets on Wills bed. "Maybe you should try to get back to sleep"

"All right. Good night", as her mom left Will asked, "Hey, what was I yelling? Anything that you understood?"

"You just kept saying I know I know over and over. Does it mean anything to you?" Will shook her head, so her mom just shrugged and left.

Will leaned back on her pillows, thinking about the dream. She knew exactly what her words had meant, but what was she supposed to tell her mom? She was being haunted by a ghost from her past? Yea right. That would go over well. Especially with the physiatrist her mom would make Will see. What Will still couldn't figure out what the voice was, and why it sounded so familiar to her? She knew it sounded familiar, but she couldn't place it. And now she was scared to even sleep. Scared of hearing the voice again.

"Will, you look terrible"

"Oh nice Corny, real nice", said Irma sarcastically. But Will knew it was true. Her mom had woken her up around one a.m. and Will hadn't slept since. She was just so scared of that voice. And now it was killing her.

"Are you okay Will?" asked Hay Lin.

"I'm fine", she said.

"You sure?" asked Taranee. "You look kind of…pale"

"I'm fine", she repeated in the same, dull voice.

"Well, okay", said Hay Lin reluctantly. "If you're sure…"

The bell rang, cutting Hay Lins sentence off, which made Will happy. If Hay Lin had said much more, Will would have probably come out and told her everything.

If anyone was to ever ask Will what she learned in school that day, she would probably answer, "Ask someone who paid attention", because she was completely zoned the entire day. She got home and gave her mom a distracted "hi" before stumbling to her room.

She never even remembered falling asleep. Al she knew was that she was hearing that voice again, and then waking up yelling. Her mom ran into her room, and saw the state Will was in. "Are you sure you're okay Will?" her mom asked as she sat down. Will nodded, not really hearing what her mother was saying. Her mom talked for awhile about how Will could always talk to her about anything, and then told Will to go downstairs and eat some dinner.

She choked down some of her moms' food (her mom was not a world class cook) and then went back to her room. All she could think about anymore was that voice. But what could she do? She didn't even know what it was.

"There is something she is not telling us", said Hay Lin. "And I wanna know what it is"

"I tried to tap into her thoughts earlier", said Taranee. "But everything was like, jumbled up. I couldn't make since of it"

They were talking about Will, of course. She had been acting distant during school that day, and now everyone just wanted to know why. Of course, Will wasn't saying anything.

"She'll tell us when she's ready", said Irma.

"Somehow, I doubt it", said Cornelia. "She's to stuck in her own ways, she'll never change her mind about anything. I don't know what else we can do"

The girls fell silent, deep in thought.

"Maybe we should just ride with it", said Irma finally.

"Say what?" asked Cornelia.

"You know, let her keep her secret until she wants to tell us", Irma explained.

"She's never gonna wanna tell us"

(Figured it out it? Come on, it's not that hard, but that's all I'm saying. I'll update soon, so hang tight till then!)
