Back

I dropped my bags on the tile floor of the kitchen when I got inside my house. Everything seemed so different. The whole kitchen was remodeled. It's like the government decided people couldn't live like this anymore and repaired my kitchen.

I walked over to the faucet, I turned pushed the long handle up and to the side, water poured out trying to escape the hose. I pushed the handle down and it turned off. I waited, and waited, and waited. No leak.

My kitchen definitely was remodeled.

"Mom?" I shouted standing on my tip-toes to see around the rest of the house. I looked behind me, my dad was gone. I swear he was at the door when I ran to the kitchen.

Was anyone home?

I inched my way into the dead living room and looked at the small TV that wore a black screen. I walked over to my parents room, nothing.

As I closed the mirror door, I saw something move. I jumped and turned around. Slowly getting close to the end of the hall.

Now shaking, I stayed behind the corner for a second, prayed and then ran out. I saw someone whip their head around.

Blonde hair.

That's all, that's all that got me to start screaming for dear life. Where was everyone? How did she get here?

Ariana's icy blue eyes seemed to have some kind of laser in them that cut my skin as she looked me up and down. She finally looked in my eyes,

"You ruined me." She said coldly. She sounded so sad, and scared. But then that shifted gears and she was looking violent and determined.

"You ruined me." She repeated, walking towards me.

I stumbled back, I couldn't move as quickly as I wanted to. How did she get in my house? How did she get out of jail? Or what ever mental place she is supposed to be in?

"Remember when we where friends? And you kept your mouth shut about everything? And everything was fine?" She spat slowly inching closer with every other word. Yes, I noticed.

"Nothing was ever fine." I lied.

"Oh really? Because I thought it was fine when I was sleeping with Thomas while he was 'in love' with you." She showed an evil mocking smile. I froze.

But why didn't I think that? Why didn't I think he cheated on me?

"What are you doing here? How did you get in my house?" I was starting to let tears fall.

"I have big plans for you Reed. Very. Big. Plans." She looked up and closed her eyes for a long time before she sat up straighter.

Scared out of my skin, I dashed over to the drawer where all the knifes where. As I ran, I slid and hit my shoulder. throbbed with pain as I go up.

Holding my shoulder, I turned around. All I got to see was Ariana and her knife behind her head in hand. She bit her lip and quickly brought the knife to my gut. I screamed in pain, and rolled onto the ground.

I felt cold, and the air seemed to change. I was dead I knew it.

I began screaming again, I tried to sit up. I opened my eyes, a new room was around me. I looked at it in aw, It was pretty much all white. There was white blankets on me on a small bed. I winced and held my shoulder.

I was in a hospital, the air smelt like that new car smell I could only experience when I rode in limo's with the Billings Girls, and a mix of old people. I saw a big window to my right and tried to peak out it from where I was at, I could see someone pacing in front of it.

Something caught my eye, on my shoulder. There was a big beige wrap on my shoulder, I saw blood stains on it.

Like I got shot.

I suddenly knew what really happened.

Do you get it? Do you get what's going on now?

Ok, so I got a bunch of feed back that kind of slapped me in the face and told me this was completely wrong! And I admit, it was all screwed up!

I was extremely hyper and just wanted to get to the main picture, but now that i've read messages on and heard ideas, I think that I should stick with my first draft of Paradise Lost.

So, I'm changing the whole story line. If that's ok! Don't worry, it'll all sound much more smooth, and cleaner for now on. I hope you liked this chapter!

PEACE OUT,
