Well once again it took forever, and I'm so so so sorry for that. I haven't been wanting to write. But I'm over that now. So heres a new chapter. Hope you enjoy. Read and review.
:D
They sky was unusually dark, grey clouds covered up the bright sun, and a fog surrounded me, making it hard to see. Trees were arms length away from each other, and it's branches were thick, which made it hard to maneuver through them. I didn't know why I was here, or how I got here, but something in the back of my head was telling me that it wasn't safe. I turned around a couple of times, making sure that there was nothing around me that was ready to pounce on me and kill me. I was becoming extremely paranoid, and started to panic. I began to run through the thick woods, pushing branches out of the way, pulling vines out of my way. I didn't know what direction I was going in, or where I was going, but something inside me told me to run.
When I got to the point of exhaustion, I slowed down and seated myself on the wet ground next to a thick bush. I breathed in deeply, trying to slow my heart rate down so I could start running again. I was still in the paranoid state of mind, and closely heard every sound that was being made. I heard birds chirping occasionally, and cracks of thunder from a far away storm, but something really caught my attention. It wasn't birds chirping or thunder, it sounded alot like someone talking. I looked around and saw nothing that looked like a human. I looked towards the tops of the trees, looking for anything out of the ordinary, but saw nothing.
I heard it again, someone talking, but I heard it better than before. Which means their coming closer. I began to panic and decided not to run, but to look around to find this person. There was one other direction that I haven't looked before. Behind me. I slowly turned my head, and body slightly, and peaked over the small bush. Standing there before me in a small open field with his back to me, was a young boy about my age. He wore all black which matched his black hair, and made his skin a snowy white. He didn't move, he seemed to be focused on one thing, which I could not figure out.
I squinted my eyes, hoping that it would help me see what this young boy was looking at, but the fog seemed to have gotten thicker. I closed my eyes and listened very closely, thinking that maybe I would be able to hear something. That's when I heard a low growl. My eyes flew open, and I looked in the direction of the boy. In front of him was a dark shadow that was making its way through the fog. As I looked closer, it didn't seem to be a human figure, but a dog like figure. The young boy crouched down into an attack stance, which scared me. Making its way through the fog was a wolf, but bigger, with it's sharp teeth in full view, it's eyes were piercing.
I gasped. A werewolf.
The werewolf's head was low to the ground, ready to attack. But the young boy seemed to be prepared for what ever the wolf was going to do.
"You won't be able to kill me." Said the young boy. He's talking to a werewolf...
He laughed. "They won't help you. They are too busy with other things."
"Can't I just kill you now?" The young boy began to run, but the light brown wolf seemed to be too fast, and appeared behind him.
"Oh, so you want to play games." The young boy turned towards the wolf, and was gone in a flash. Where did he go? In a split second, the wolf was flying through the air and was pinned up against the tree.
"I like this game." The young boy threw the wolf across the other side of the small field, which the wolf slammed up against a tree. As the wolf laid there, the boy seemed satisfied that he has won, and began walking off but the wolf didn't want to give up so soon. The wolf slowly got to its feet, and began to growl even louder. It started to run and gained speed which caught the young boy off guard. The wolf pounced on the boy and started clawing at him. I can't look. I closed my eyes and began to panic, and was afraid that the young boy might die.
The young boy started to scream, probably every time the wolf slashed at him with it's claws. I covered my ears, not wanting to hear any more. Please don't kill him, Please don't kill him, Please don't kill him. I said over and over in my head. I heard more screams, and some yelps, hopefully from the wolf, but I started to hum the song my mother sang to me. 'You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy, when skies are grey--- ' I heard a loud yelp over me humming my mothers song, and knew that the 'game' was over with. I uncovered my ears, opened my eyes, and searched for the young boy.
He was kneeling on the ground next the werewolf that seemed to be breathing faintly. He grabbed something from his jacket pocket, which it appeared to be a large knife. He raised his arm, knife in hand, and as he brought it down on the wolf he hissed, "Pathetic." The wolf yelped faintly, one last time.
The young boy pulled out his knife from the wolf's body, and with his other hand grabbed a handkerchief from his other pocket in his jacket, and began cleaning it.
"To bad you didn't have your pack with you." He sighed. "You probably would have lived."
He got up from where he was standing and walked off to the side where there were fallen tree branches. He dragged the branches over to the wolf, and covered him up. He continuously did this until its body was covered just enough to where a human would not be able to see it. He stood in front of it, enjoying his work, then walked off.
I just sat there, stunned at what I saw. That was... was crazy!
I peaked over the bush again to make sure the boy wasn't there anymore, which he wasn't. Maybe I should go over and see the wolf, up close. I got up from where I was sitting and slowly, and quietly crept up towards the werewolf. My feet crunched on the fallen leaves and branches, so I hoped that the boy was long gone. When I came close to its body, I crouched down to get a closer look, and moved some of the branches that were covering it's face. As I touched the last thick branch from it's face, it began to move from under it. I backed away from the branches and stopped. But its dead... It's moving slowed down, so I began to pick up the last piece. It was a heavy, long one and it took all my strength to move it far from the wolfs body. As I dropped the branch, I turned around to see the dead wolfs body, but what was laying before me was a human. I screamed.
Josh.
Josh as a young teenager was lying on the ground, cuts and bruises appeared on his tan body and a large open wound where the young boy stabbed him. This...This can't be. The boy stabbed...a werewolf. Not him. I walked closer and noticed it was the same Josh I saw in the picture over at Mike's house.
I turned quickly on my heels and started to run as fast as I could. Tears started to form in my eyes, making everything harder to see. Where am I? I want to go home.
"Daniel, Kyle, Please help! I want to go home!" I screamed. The tears started to slide down my face, and came right after another. As I was running, my foot was caught by a root, and pulled me to the ground. Blackness started to overcome me as I screamed one last time, "I just.. want to go home.."
"-Tori, are you awake?" A faint voice said to me.
"Torriii..." It was Daniel's voice.
"Tori, wake up your having a nightmare!" I quickly opened my eyes and noticed that I was in my bedroom again. My bedside light was on, and Daniel's head popped in my view.
"Daniel? You-you found me. You saved me!" I sat up quickly and hugged Daniel, and noticed Kyle sitting at my desk, shaking his head.
"Tori, you had a nightmare. Whatever you saw... was just a dream." Daniel quickly said while releasing me from the hug. My emotions started to rise and tears started to form in my eyes. I let out a cry, which created a weight to be lifted off of my shoulders. Daniel pulled me closer, and started to comb through my hair.
"Shhh..." Daniel hushed.
I just couldn't't calm down. I had to tell Daniel.
"In my dream." I didn't know how to tell him. I didn't want it to all come out jumbled together, also I was afraid of how he was going to react.
"I was in the woods, and I didn't know where I was. I saw a young boy and a... werewolf." Daniel released me, and I saw Kyle in the corner of my eye turn towards me, becoming interested.
"The boy and the werewolf started to fight and in the end the werewolf died. He covered it up with branches, and left. I walked over to it and started to uncover it..." I stopped, not wanting to recall the last part of my dream, but I knew they were wanting to know. I looked at Kyle and he waved his arms, telling me to continue.
"As I uncovered the branches, I saw... I saw Josh." I closed my eyes and sighed in relief. I opened them slowly, hoping they weren't that shocked.
"What did this young boy look like?" Kyle asked.
I was confused on why he was asking this question, or any question at all. I thought they would have just blown it off, thinking my dream was stupid.
"He had snowy white skin, black side swipe hair, and really dark clothes." I shook my head trying to get the young boy's image out of my head, and looked up towards Daniel which he was glancing at Kyle. I stood up from the bed and began pacing back and forth.
"Why would I be having a dream about Josh?" I asked. There was a long pause, which made me even more uncomfortable.
"Well, I don't know if we should tell you this, and I don't know how to put it in words, but for some odd reason I think you just witnessed Josh's death." I stopped in my tracks, shocked at what Daniel was saying. I then gave him an expression that would make him explain it a little better.
"Josh was killed by a person that fit the description you told us. We don't know exactly what went down before Josh's death, but some how you may have seen it all." He shrugged his shoulders, telling me that was everything he could say. Kyle got up from his chair and walked passed me and out of my room without even a glance in my direction. Daniel stood up not too shortly after Kyle, and stopped in front of me. I looked up to see his expression on his face, which wasn't what I had expected. He had a smile spread from ear to ear. He tucked a strand of my brown hair behind my ear, and sighed.
"I bet what you saw was a terrible thing." I shook my head in agreement. "I wish you didn't see any of it." He added as he started walking towards the door. He turned around, "The families down stairs in the family room, if you want to join us." I smiled and sat on the edge of my bed. Daniel walked out the door, and shut it quietly.
I turned to look at my alarm clock, and it read: 11:23 pm. I only slept for an hour! I got up from my bed and headed down stairs. As I was walking down the hall I turned to the bathroom, just so I could take a quick look at myself. I turned on the light and I stood in front of the gold frame mirror. Standing there before me was a pale girl with deep dark circles under her eyes, with hair that was a knotted mess, and in green pajamas. Ugh. Yuck. I need more sleep, I just do not look like myself lately.
I walked out of the bathroom as quickly as possible, and walked down the stairs. Off to the right of me was the family sitting in the family room, just talking. No t.v, no board games, no nothing; just talking. As I reached to bottom and made my way to the family room, everyone stopped and stared. I'm guessing Daniel and Kyle told them everything. The only thing that I could do was put a smile on my face; giving them the impression that I was okay.
"Hey everybody. What are you guys doing up so late?" I asked.
"It's Saturday, we don't have work tomorrow." Kelly answered for everybody. I shrugged my shoulders and smiled.
"Well I'm just going to go out back to get some fresh air."
Kelly shook her head and continued her conversation with everyone, while I headed towards the back of the house. I didn't bother to turn on the hallway light, which was fine, because there was a perfect amount of light coming from the family room to light up the small hallway. I made it to the sliding glass door and opened it. A rush of warm hair blew passed me as I stepped outside and closed the door behind me. The backyard was brightly lit by the full moon in the dark sky, making everything visible. I took in a deep breath which is what I needed after this whole situation.
I walked out into the middle of the yard, and stood there enjoying the fresh air. But what I really wanted to do was to lay down on the grass and stare at all of the stars, but I knew the family would get worried about me if I stayed too long. As I turned around and faced the house, I began to get this really creepy feeling in the pit of my stomach, which caused me to panic. I started to walk a little more quickly towards the house, and when I had a few more steps left, I heard a crack from behind me. Sounded like a twig snapping.
"Mike, if thats you, Daniel will kick your butt. So you better use the front door." I turned around to see if it was him, but I saw nothing. That's when something hard came crashing down on my head, and I yelped in pain. I fell to the floor, holding my head. I turned to see who had hit me, which was a person dressed in all black with their hood over their head, so I couldn't see their face.
I knew this was my only chance, so I screamed. "Daniel, Kyle, Hel-" The person standing over me covered my mouth with their hand, and with their other hand they punched me in the face. I began kicking this person but blackness began to overcome me, so I knew it was too late to escape.
