It was Detry's voice. Robyn tried to talk. Tried to tell Detry that she was all right. But she wasn't And she couldn't.
Everything filled Robyn's head. Her childhood memories, the fun times and sad times. Her jokes, everything. She saw herself and her cousin Bob playing a trick on a neighbour, all the times she got an award in her school. Then she remembered the figure. It was pointing a finger at. her. She gurgled and choked. All her memories swirled around her. She opened her mouth to scream.
"Ahhhh!"
"Robyn?"
"Robyn! Robyn! Are you all right?"
That voice sounded so familiar. But she just couldn't place who it was.
"So familiar…" she whispered.
"Robyn!" Someone was crying. Why. Did something happen? Was it Detry. Detry!
"DETRY!" Robyn screamed out loud. She found herself being lifted into a sitting position. She found herself in someone's arms. It felt warm.
"Robyn, are you awake? Can you hear me?" The familiar voice said gently.
Robyn forced her eyes open.
"Mum?"
Her mother smiled. Robyn looked around the room. She was in the hospital. There was her Seia, wiping tears from her eyes, and her dad.
"What happened?" She asked.
"Darling, you fainted in the hallway," replied her mum reassuringly.
Everything flooded back. She gasped.
"Robyn, are you all right?" asked Seia.
"No!" Robyn cried.
"What's the matter with you honey," cried her mum, " you're acting so strange!"
"Strange? Strange? Can't you see. Someone murdered Detry and now, its after me!" Robyn shouted in despair.
"Mum, I think we should leave Robyn alone," suggested Seia, " she been in a lot lately."
"You don't understand-"
" We'll leave now," said dad quietly, and the three of them stood up.
"Don't leave me alone in here!" Robyn pleaded.
A nurse came in and patted Robyn on the head.
"It's okay child, you'll be all right."
Robyn sank down onto her bed. She could see that she couldn't do anything. Nobody believed her. She didn't even believe herself. Maybe it just my imagination, she told herself.
"Bye darling," said her family, and left.
Robyn closed her eyes and fell asleep.
She mumbled something. Slowly opened her eyes. It was about midnight, and it was silent in her hospital room, so it was really creepy. Something had awoken her. What was it? She crinkled her forehead. It was a sort of a ring, a bell noise. But it sounded so peculiar and unusual. It couldn't be a grandfather clock. It happened in the corridor outside her room. What was going on?
She slowly got out of her bed, put on her dressing gown and crept to the door. Her heart was thudding loudly in her chest. She put her ears next to the keyhole. She heard voices. Strange, she thought. She listened harder.
"We got work to do, master," mumbled a crackling voice, " the girl is still asleep, so we'll be able to get her."
"Got the knife ready, slave?" said a cool voice.
"Yes."
"Excellent, an attack will be organised. We need all the help we can get to rule this place."
"You still haven't told me, why this place?"
"The girl is here, and this is the place where the cave used to be, the one Robert Faradise used to live in."
"So?"
"This place is evil, and has to be destroyed. And so has to be the girl, called Robyn, isn't it?"
Robyn gasped.
"Yes, Master."
We'll get her, and kill her. Are you ready Firezorous?"
"Yes."
The door to Robyn's room began to open.
