Haunted

After running through the darkness I could not find anyone. Itachi would know what to do but I cannot find him.

-pant- Itachi -pant- where are you?

I tremble as the sinister chuckle reaches my ears.

"Sakura, do you believe to escape me? Foolish little girl trying to call for Itachi. He's not here to save you hime. No one here but you and I! No one can save you! No one can hear you scream!"

"LEAVE ME ALONE!"

-pant- -pant- -pant- I am suddenly back in my own bed sitting up right. I look around my room seeing nothing out of place. I slowly lay down and relax as a familiar figure on the other side of the bed shift to make sure no one was the cause of my awakening. Lightly checking my pulse, which to his relief was strong but erratic.

"Sakura, you're okay. I am here, shh, you're safe."

"I-ta-chi?"

"I am here."

"Why do I feel so dizzy?"

"You've been asleep for days."

I quickly turn over to look Itachi dead in the eye. The lines on his face deepen giving him an older look that says he's been through hell and back.

"What happened Itachi?"

"That's what I'd like to know as well."

"Well, I am not completely sure myself. All I remember is a room that opened for me and something try to lead me out of harms way."

"Who was trying to hurt you?"

"I don't know! I remember a hand reaching out to grab but it let go!"

"Why was everyone else asleep Sakura? Tell me!"

Frustrated with the third degree I started to scream and soon afterward sob. "I DON'T KNOW! Leave me alone okay." I tried to regulate my breathing but I continued to hyperventilate. I felt Itachi drag me into his lap positioning me so I could cry into his shoulder as his stroke my hair.

"Gomen koi."

I lifted my head up as I felt the gentle brush of his lips against my forehead.

"I know this must be hard for you but I have to know what happened to you."

I tried to remember but that voice is loud and clear in my head

You cannot escape

I can feel Itachi's looks of concern as I began to rub my head with my fingertips. Hoping to relieve the pressure of a new found headache.

Foolish child

I take in deep breaths to calm the anxiety that's threatening to show.

I will kill you

Well, that doesn't sound pleasant.

And the people you hold dear

Ok, now it's time for you to get the hell out of my head!

I will be king!

Over my dead body.

That can be arranged .

Bring it on you son of a bitch!

As if you can defeat me!

The last thing I hear before I fall unconscious is Itachi screaming my name and try to keep me awake. I try to give him a clue before I enter the darkness.

Murderer…

I hoped you guys liked it! I been read a Horror story for the past few days and it helped me a bit with this chapter. Inspiration in weird place I tell you. It's short but sweet just the way I like it. I case you were wondering the last word should be in Edwardian Script in blood red and a much larger font ,but FanFiction changes it for some reason or another which is a real shame because it draws attention to keywords in the chapter and I feel silly saying this but I makes me think of what Edward's handwriting would be like. (I'm a huge Stephenie Meyer's fan LOL!) Tell me what you think if you have the time to do a review! Wow, only one person voted on my profile.-tears- Happy April Fools' Day everyone!
