Tears

This time when Krystal woke up she was having a panic attack and the fact that the screaming she was hearing wasn't coming from the screaming match her parents were having made the situation worse. The screaming from her nightmare was still ringing in her ears. It was her own screaming too. Not the happy over excited scream, or the scream she would let out if someone scared her. This was her terrified I'm dying scream. All she could think about was finding a way to make the nightmares stop. So she lit some candles placed them in a circle and sat in the middle to meditate. She started to meditate and the flashbacks started. She could see it all over again, but she couldn't get her eyes open. She was trying to force them open and they wouldn't budge so she took that as a sign from the powers that be or more likely Aries and so she gave up and let the flashbacks flow in. The flashback that lingered the most was the most resent nightmare climax. Her slow brutal torture that would probably lead to her death. Krystal wasn't actually sure if she was actually going to die in her nightmares because she woke up before that point, too scared to find out. She wasn't stupid though. She knew that no human could survive that torture. She finally got out of the flashbacks and realized that all the candles had burned out. How long had she been in the flashbacks was her question. It had been a few hours and she was hungry. She went downstairs to find the house empty. Her parents had gone out without her because they couldn't get her out of her room was what they put in the note attached to the fridge with a $20 bill saying to order out. She ordered Chinese food and are it all before falling asleep on the couch.

She was sitting in the corner of a dark room. Blackened tears running down her cheeks and on to her bloodstained shirt. She was hiding. Hiding from something. Something horrible, bigger, faster, and stronger then she was. Eventually she knew that it would find her. It would find her and then the real nightmare would begin. She saw it coming and blew out her candle and scrambled to the other wall. Under its breath it was saying something. Whatever it was saying started as a mumble and turned into a yell. A yell for her to wake up.

She woke up startled and confused at least this time she wasn't in pain. She opened her eyes and was looking into the gray ones that belonged to someone familiar. Jeck.

"Jeck!" Krystal whispered excitedly and confused at the same time.

How did she get into my house was all she could think. She sat up and realized that it was 11 o'clock on Friday and that they didn't have school. Jeck was here to pick her up for there date. Her parents must have had left the door unlocked again.

"Are you ok Krys?" Jeck asked with her worried lover face on once again.

"FINE, fine , I'm fine!"Krystal yelled on accident

"Let me get ready, ok?" Krystal asked

"Okay I'll wait here." Jeck said sitting down on the couch watching Krystal walk up the stairs into her room.

Krystal got dressed and ran down the stairs looked into the closet and found her newly polished combat boots (her dad was trying to win her over) and then did her hair and was ready to go. They walked like 2 and a half miles to the pizza place, there usual place to hang out , and got the usual, 1 medium pizza, 2 orders of bread sticks, and 2 sprites. They ate and talked and laughed. Krystal actually had fun for once, or at least the most fun she had , had in a while. After they ate everything they walked around the town for a while and then started to walk back in the direction of Jecks house. Well they got there palyed Guitar Hero the coolest video game ever, and then hung out. Krystal left when her dad came to pick her up at 5 o'clock that night. She got home and ate the fortune cookies from the dinner last night for her dinner that night. Then she went upstairs to sleep forgetting that she probably wouldn't want to. The nightmares started the same way……

She was sitting in the same corner crouched the same was crying blackened tears that were falling onto her blood stained shirt. Then she saw it coming and blew out her candle and scrambled to the other wall. She knew it wouldfind her she was breathing so hard and was super fidgety,. Then the lights came on. Bright florecent lights. She was in a white room with one chair and something in black that was at least two feet taller then her. It looked into her eyes and she instantly went pale and fell to the floor limp and numb with pain.

"So you came back. Why do you do this to yourself. I know that you don't like it. Soom you will be dead and no one can save you. Not now. Not ever." It said in a harsh voice as it took off its cloak and revealed its black clothing and weapons.

All she could do was cry and stand up using the wall for support. Then she started to fall and tried to dig her nails into the wall hoping that would stop the fall. It didn't and she went down. Then it came over and picked up her numb body sending shockwaves of pain through her body. When she finally came to her senses she was chained to a chair and watching as It sharpened its 7 inch skinning knife. The next thing she knew the knife was in her side missing all major organs but hitting her diafram so it hurt like hell to breathe . She let out a whimper knowing that if she cried not only would it give that thing satisfaction but also it would take the little strength she had in her away and she would go into catatonic shock. The second knife sliced her arm open and that jolted her awake.

Krystal woke up screaming, out of breathe and in pain. No one was home yet, so she didn't get into trouble for screaming. She took a Tylenol and layed back down trying not to fall asleep not wanting to know that pain ever again. She succeeded until her parents came home and she needed to find a place to hide from the yelling. She fell asleep quickly and it started all over again.
