Opal ran through the woods holding her sister's hand. Seven years old, and she was being chased by a killer! Not just any killer, but Jeff the Killer. Her sister, who was a year younger than her, was running next to her. Cuts and bruises were upon their small brown skinned bodies. Not from the killer, but from the thorns on the bushes they were running though. They stopped. Right in front of them, was the thing they had been running from. Diamond held her older sister's hand tightly. The last thing they heard was their own screams.
Opal woke up from her nightmare. She rubbed her head. That dream gave her a headache somehow. She looked at her sister next to her, who seemed to have woken up at the same time.
"Your awake to?" Opal asked.
"Same memory every time." Diamond sighed.
"Come on, mom and dad should have breakfast ready." Opal suggested, sitting up, her head gradually easing from the pain.
Diamond sat up to. They promised to not speak about the repetitive memory they kept having, but Diamond found it the time to bring it up again. "Opal," she started. "I'm sick and tired of having my head hurt every morning, I'm sick and tired of not telling anyone, and I'm most definitely sick and tired of having to put the puzzle pieces together to show what happened at the very end!" she complained. "When will it stop?"
"Diamond." Opal took her sister's hand and had a serious look. "It'll be ok. We'll live a normal life, and nothing will seriously go wrong. We can't tell because we will be sent away. Very far away." Opal explained as easy as possible. Then, got up without an answer from her sister to eat breakfast.
Diamond frowned. That wasn't what she was expecting. She knew they'd think they were crazy. She knew they'd send them to some mental hospital or wherever they send crazy people. But it was a pain to wake up, heart pounding, sweating like you were in the desert. But it seemed there was no action to possibly take. Diamond soon joined her sister, trying to be cheerful and energized as if she just had a dream about bunnies and rabbits and ponies and kitties and whatever else easy-going, cutesy girls dream about. Though, it was quite difficult to replace a horrid, terrifying nightmare with a pink-a-licious, rainbow-y dream.
Their mom and dad were not here. They were going overseas for a month. Business. At least they left them breakfast.
Opal sat down at the table shivering. She had a feeling. She felt as if she were being watched. It was an effect of this horrid dream, but she had learned to get used to it. But this time... It was different... It was... "Stronger..." Opal murmured to herself.
Suddenly, she fell into a black hole. "Diamond... Diamond?!" Opal yelled. She fell into a room on her back. No pain felt. A room of black walls and floor. The only other color was red. A pool of red was slowly growing under her. Opal didn't move. Her vision was getting blurred. And over her, looked down, a face of a smile. Her eyes slightly widened as the killer put a knife over their head to attack. This wasn't Jeff the Killer though... It was Diamond... "Di-Diamond?" Opal managed to say in her weakened voice. Diamond suddenly changed to Jeff the Killer! Jeff swung down the knife to her head and...
Opal snapped out of her trance! Her breakfast was finished. She must have been eating while that happened... It was all in her head! "Diamond?!" Opal yelled.
Diamond was in the middle of spooning her oatmeal when she glanced at her sister, shocked. "Y-Yeah?" she answered. "No need to yell, I'm kind of right here." she joked. She slowly slurped her oatmeal while at it.
Opal looked down at her bowl that used to be full of oatmeal. She actually ate it?! "Eww!" Opal fell out of her seat.
Diamond couldn't help but point and laugh at Opal. "You idiot!" she managed to insult between her laughter.
Opal could feel her brown cheeks turn a slight red. But that quickly stopped. Her face seemed whiter. "D-D-Diamond?"
Diamond wiped a tear from her eye. She smiled at her sister. "What?" she asked. Her face wasn't smiling anymore once she saw Opal's, but she definitely was satisfied after seeing that.
"Some sort of trance..." Opal got back in her chair. Opal started to tell her sister about her trance. "And it sent some kind of message. I-I just can't figure it out..."
At this point, with what they've been through, Diamond had to believe Opal. "A message, huh? What do you think it's trying to tell you. Or us..." Diamond asked.
Opal gulped. "We are being watched..." She eyed every corner of the room. She had just got the message. "All the time, everywhere we go. By... Something..."
Diamond blinked. "Do you think it's... Jeff, maybe?" Diamond questioned. "I mean, it could be a type of phase you're going through after what happened or something." Diamond asked. She wanted no possibilities of it being Jeff the Killer. She refused to believe it. She wanted nothing from Jeff the Killer. Nothing!
"Forget it. It was nothing." Opal closed her eyes for a while. "I'm going to look." Opal got up. She wanted to look just to prove that he wasn't real. That she was just crazy...
Diamond frowned. What made her think she was going to just "forget" it. She sighed, and let it pass. "Be careful..." was all Diamond said before leaving off with their bowls. She was still amazed that Opal actually ate the oatmeal, though...
"And by look, I mean the forest..." Opal said, going to pack her stuff.
Diamond instantly dropped both of the bowls, leaving a ringing wave of breaking dishware. "No!" Diamond immediately replied. "You are signing your death wish if you go out there. What, do you actually want to die or something!?" she argued. What the frick was her sister thinking?!
"But... Don't you want to know? If it really was a memory. If we're being watched. Don't you want to know everything?" Opal asked, as if this were a puzzle that had to be solved.
"Yes, but I also don't want to die, either!" Diamond countered. "Which do you want, being a helpless fly in a pond full of frogs or staying on that log where you belong!" Diamond really liked comparing things, but they sometimes were completely hard to comprehend. She forgot about the comparison and frowned ever more. "Guess what? I have a feeling too! Hm, I'm not sure, but I think if we go back to where we were almost killed, I think we'll for certain DIE!" Diamond sarcastically informed.
"I'm NOT joking!" Opal yelled, stomping up the stairs. She braided her hair, but on a black tank top, green cargo pants, and black combat boots. Opal smiled at herself in the mirror. She looked kinda like that chick from Tomb Raider!
"I KNOW you aren't joking, but going into there assures DEATH!" Diamond yelled right back. She walked up the stairs and peeked into the bathroom. "Hey, you kind of look like that chick from Tomb Raider." Though she was arguing not to, Diamond couldn't resist the call of an adventure, so she quickly skipped into her room and put on her cute, night blue bunny hoodie. At the hood, it made it look like she had bunny ears. She wore her sky blue skirt, and thigh-high stockings. That's right, full-on stockings. She then wore boots with a low heel. She looked like a Vocaloid! She did the Hatsune Miku pose where she slanted her hip to the side, spread her legs a bit, and put one hand behind her and one in the front. She looked like Hatsune Miku!
Opal took a sweater and filled a backpack with water and some food.
Diamond took her lipstick, nail polish, blush, eye liner, and eye shadow. She packed a comb, brush, and some lip gloss, just in case.
Opal looked in Diamond's bag and emptied it. "Food, water, supplies, and knife." Opal squinted at her younger sister.
Diamond narrowed her eyes right back. "For your information, cosmetics are supplies." she informed, though packed a zip-lock bag of cereal, two water bottles.
By the time they were finished packing, it was night-time. Had they really packed that much?
Opal thought of what would happen if Jeff WAS real. She might as well take a knife to a knife fight... "Better." Opal smiled. She put her knife in between her belt and pants. "Dang, night already? Still going!" Opal sighed.
She went downstairs and opening the door... To... Her second worst fear. Jeff...
