Edith 13th
Nightmare
Chapter 2
Edith's hair on the back of her neckstood on end. Who was this thing behind her? She was too scared to turn around. Then she heard the man, who she presumed to be dead, groan.
"Jeta." He uttered. The figure let go of his hold around Edith's shoulders and stepped back.
"We'll meet again, Edith." He told her. Edith shivered as she felt an ice cold breeze pass. She turned to find no one there. Did the thing disappear?
Edith took a step back and banged into the stair.She jumped from the shock of the hard cold metal.railing.
"Ow!" She hissed and cursed under her breath. Once she regained herself she heard something familiar... a cellphone.
Edith heard a vibrating noise coming from the beaten man who had become still once again. She stared hesitantly at him. Didn't anyone hear this? Well, Edith considered, it was still really really early. Calling the police wouldn't help, they didn't last time.
She pressed her palms into her forehead. What am I supposed to do? she thought. I could just walk away, like Mom would do... She lifted her head to look at him. Wait...is he...
The phone vibrated again. Was this the man who destroyed her? Who made her scream herself mute? Who she had been haunted by...?
She had dreamed of revenge since the last time she saw him. Edith could almost taste it.
She examined him from a distance. It was so hard to tell with only the weak morning light. She closed in on him. As she came closer, she could hear his tortured, shallow breathing.
Suddenly feeling guilty, she decided to do something to help him. Maybe revenge had already come upon him...This might not even be him anyways.The phone vibrated again. First thing, answer the phone.
"Hello?" She answered as she flipped open the phone. There was a long pause on the other line and a horrible connection.
"Johnathon, is that you?" It was a woman's voice, they sounded so familiar to Edith, but she just assumed it was fatigue.
"Hello? I- I have Johnathon here, he's not dead..." But she wasn't even sure if that was true anymore, of course, she thought he was dead before, also.
"Are you holding him hostage? Who are you?"
"No! No... You don't understand. My name is Edith Seno and I-" She tried to explain, but was cut off.
"Edith Seno? The daughter of Mayura?" The woman asked, hesitantly. Edith held her breath, who was this?
"Yes, may I ask who wants to know...?"
"Oh, boy. Was there anyone else there besides Johnathon?"
"Did you send them?" Edith was upset. What were doing? Playing some kind of sick joke? And so early in the morning... She didn't deserve this...
"Edith, I'll send a car down there immediately. Are you at home?"
"How do you know me? Answer me!" Edith demanded.
"Edith, it's me! Auntie Alice?" She dropped the cellphone and slumped to the ground next to Johnathon and opened her tightly clenched fist. "Hello? Edith? Are you there?" One of the beads on the little bracelet was glowing, she fiddled with it and slipped it on her wrist. It fit nicely. She looked over to the man, his chest was moving rhythimically up and down with his breathing... Up and down... In and out... In and out...
She shut her eyes. This couldn't be the man she thought he was. When she looked at him closely, he only looked a few years older than she was. So, she decided to wait with him out there for the car. The sun was just coming up over the horizon. "It's going to be okay... Johnathon."
