Paranoid

At school, the lights go out on a rainy afternoon, Kara grinned in the wet "YES, school is over! But what if I fail my exams?" she thought to herself "hmm, oh well I got to get home!"

On the way home, she sees the same girl sitting by the tree. She stood still and thought for a moment. Kara walked over, and asked her who she is but there was no reply. "Excuse me, can you hear me?" shouted Kara "You were here yesterday, but you disappeared when I looked back, how do you do that?"

There was still no reply, "hey look, I got some leftovers for you" said Kara as she pulled the box of leftovers from her bag. "I'm sure you must be hungry!"

The little girl growls and snatched the box in her hands. "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeek!" Kara squealed. She then calmed herself down.

"Okay then?" Kara said in confusion "Well you can come to my house, here is my address and come whenever you want... but I would like my box back please".

Kara gave up because; she knew the little girl wouldn't respond. As she turned to go, she heard a familiar voice behind her. "Your mum will die, she will be gone. Gone forever I say!" whispered the little girl.

Kara stopped instantly; she heard this voice before...

Kara ran straight home, feeling a lot more paranoid. She entered the house, knowing something is going to happen; the phone rang as loud as the lion roars. "Hello? Who is this?" but the other end of the line was silence.

"I said hello!" the phone hung up immediately and Kara freaks out. She slowly walked into the living room and quickly got out her school work.

Suddenly, coming from the doorway, there was a huge thud. "Hello? Who's at the door" asked Kara "Okay, you're scaring me now!"

The door knocks again "Hey, stop fooling around, who is this?"

"It is me Tori, hahaha! You and your scary moments just make me laugh!"

Kara opens her door seeing her sister a bit tipsy. As Tori winds Kara up Tori falls over and laughed. "Kara, the big fat, lying little toe rag".

Kara stood still "What? What did you say?" she grinned "What have I done to you to deserve that?"

"You get bullied for god sake!" shouted Tori "Now you wonder why?"

"Stop it, your drunk!"

"Ha-ha, I am fine, go get some specsavers, your ugly!" laughed Tori.

"Urmm you're my sister. So what would you expect?"

Tori took it too far and smashed the glass against the wall. She got mad and slapped Kara in the face.

It was 10.00pm and the door knocked and everything went quiet. Kara was in terror "What was that? Tori answer it for me, I'm scared".

"No bloody way! I refuse to go near that door!" Tori whispered in tears "I'm hiding behind the sofa, I'm not here okay?"

Tori jumped so quickly and knocked over all the photos from the wall. "OMG, there my childhood photos!" shouted Kara "Why did you knocked them down?"

Tori apologised and hid behind the sofa, the door knocked once again. Kara took a deep breath and tip-toed to the door "Hello, is anyone there?"

Tori opened the door as slow as the snail could possibly cross the road. There stood a figure, small and young (the same girl by the tree) who cried out "I need to protect you!"

Kara was horrified "I don't know what you are on about and besides, who are you?"

"My name is Sam; I need to protect you from your current mother".

Kara gets more and more frightened "My current mother? Go and suck a lemon, I don't even know you, you are freaking me out!"

Sam tries to confront her and calm her down "But Kara you need my help and don't worry about the mother part!"

Kara replies "Oh, I will forget it!"

Kara slammed the door shut "Never return and leave me alone!"

Kara ran too Tori's arms "Tori can we stop arguing, I want to be here for you and you'd be here for me!"

Tori gives Kara a little smile but doesn't answer.
