Henry is deep asleep. The night goes by, and it's now morning. The sun going up. Ariel is the first to wake. She gets everything ready for the park. The boys are already up, looking for their trunks and towels. They go down to help their mom. Henry didn't wake yet.
Chapter 2
Ariel is shaking him gently. She tries to wake. He must be really tired, she doesn't want to wake him. She also doesnt' want to disappoint the kids. She shakes him again, and he wakes up gasping. His eyes widen, as he sits up quickly. He looks around.
"Hey..honey..."
He looks at her, and sigh in relief. "Time to get up uh..."
"Yes...everything is pack. The boys are ready. Let's go and have some fun" She gets up but stops "Are you okay...how are you feeling?"
"Better..." he says. "I guess all i needed was sleep"
She nods "I'll be waiting downstairs" She kisses his temple. He gets up with a groan. He stretches. He stills feels something heavy, the same heavy feeling. He shakes it off, he wants to have a good time today. He gets up to get his clothes. He walks downstairs. He grabs the keys to the truck. "Alright...let's go"
The water park is only twenty minutes away from the house. He sees it, slides, waterfall, pools everywhere. He parks in and everyone gets out in excitment. He looks around, there are roller coasters too. The water park looks amazing. He follows his kids and wife to the entrance. He is about to pay to go in, but someone already did. He shrugs it off, and he goes in. The boys go dashing inside, wondering what to do first.
"Let's have fun!" Henry says. He sees a table. "There...this will be our spot"
The boys put on suncreen, and dash to the pool. Leo goes for the dive, while Raph cannon balls to the water. Henry sits down, and relax. He will swim later. Ariel walks up to him to sit on his lap. He opens his arms, letting her lay down on him. He hugs her tight.
"This is awesome" he says "We have to try some water slides...especially the dark knight one" He looks at the black colored slide. It looks like it's going to be dark in there. He wants to try it. Ariel nods.
"I think that would be awesome" she says "Come on then...let's have some fun"
She rushes to the pool and dives in. Henry gets up with laughter but the world spins around him. He stumbles a little. He stops, wondering what happen. He shakes it off, and runs to the pool. Ariel sees him dive in. She swims to him, to wrap her arms around him. She kisses him.
The boys are in line with their dad. He is carrying a tube, for the three of them to slide down. He challenge them to go down the dark knight slide. They both agree and now are waiting to go down. They are next, and the boys get in position on the tube. Henry sits down, and he gives a push. Once in, they speed down, into darkness. "WHOA!" they shout. The slide is a long way down. You can't tell where you are at, because it's to dark..way to dark. it feels like forever, but Raph sees the light. The end of the slide, and they go with the splash.
"Whoa...that was fun" Leo laughs
"Too dark...didn't like at" Raph says
"I thought it was awesome" Henry says. He gets up to get off the pool. He helps his kids up. He looks at the other slides. "Want to try another one?"
"yes..." They both shout. Henry smirks as he goes off running. He sees Ariel, who is enjoying the sun. He goes to kiss her. She yelps by the surprise. "We are going on another one"
"Okay...I'll be here" she kisses him as he dashes after the boys. This time, they are going down one by one. Raph goes first, the slide isn't bad, just lot's of turns. All the way down. Leo goes next but before he does he looks to his dad. "See ya at the bottom" He goes in, shouting in excitment. Henry waits a little, waiting for the lifeguard to give him a signal. He gives a go. Henry goes down the slide. He goes down with a breeze, as he enjoys the ride. He hears a thud. He looks back to see someone sliding down, fast. He gasps, it doesn't look like a person. His eyes widen, its a corpse. He shouts in fear as he tries to go faster. He turns back to see it in front of him. He shouts in fear. He tries to punch it, but it goes striaght through it. "NO..NO" He feels the corpse grab his head and yells at him. He cries out in pain. Then it disappears. Henry tries to breath, but his breath is caught. He hits the pool, coughing, gasping.
Leo goes to him, He starts patting his dad's back. "Hey dad...you okay?"
"I'm good...just...um...lost my breath there" he laughs
Raph goes up to him to help him. "Come on...maybe a drink of water will do"
"Sounds like a plan"
Leo and Raph go to hug him tight. He hugs them both. The family goes to sit at the table. Henry is staring at the distance. He is trying to get the headache away. He doesn't want to ruin this vacation. He keeps thinking about that ghost, or whatever that was. He now feels like a heavy weight weighing him stretches, and looks at the kids eating their sandwhich with doritoz. He feels his head being squeeze. He tries to smile it off, but it's strong.
Henry nods.
The time is now seven. Henry is helping Ariel pack their bags. He tries to put all the stuff animals in one bag. He won them for Ariel, he played different games and won almost all of them. He even won stuff for his kids, like a basketball, soccer ball. He looks at Ariel, as she hugs a teddy bear. He smiles. The park doesn't close till ten, but they decide to call it a day. Through out the whole day all he did was think about that ghost. He wants to tell Ariel what happen, but he will sound crazy. He decides to shake it off, it's probaly stress. He picks up the bags with the help of the boys. They head out.
Henry is sitting down on the porch. He is still thinking about that thing. He is wondering why? How did it appear behind and in front of him. He also is trying to get rid of this headache. He feels a heavy wieght on him again. He wants this feeling gone. He is getting really tired again, he can't keep his eyes open. He tries to fight it off, he tries to. He wants to stay up with his family. Ariel is cleaning the kitchen, they just had spaghetti. She is washing dishes. She looks to see Leo and Raph playing games, well playing rocket league. She goes back to cleaning. Once she finish she looks out the window, to see Henry sitting down, staring. She decides to go to him. She goes outside, and wraps her arms around him. "You okay..." she whispers
"I'm good...I...um..." he growls as he closes his eyes. "Tired..."
"Honey...tell me..the..."
"I'm FINE!" he shouts. He covers his mouth. He sighs "I'm sorry..."
"No...it's okay. Get some sleep" Ariel says "The boys want to stay home tomorrow. We can go out to the lake over there...how does that sound?"
"Good...sounds like a plan" Henry gets up to go to sleep. He says his goodnight, he flops to the bed.
It's three in the morning. He wakes up gasping. He growls as he place his head on his hands. He feels the headache again. He gets up to go to the bathroom, he washes his face. He splashes water, closing his eyes. He gets a towel and dries his face. As he did he looks at the mirror. He shouts as he sees a man. He stays still, what can he do. The man jumps him. Henry flinches and dodges but as he did he slips. He tries to grab onto something but he fails. He hits his head on the sink. He blinks, trying to get rid of the pain. His ears are ringing. He gets up slowly, but stops as the world is spinning around him. He rubs his head, hoping the world will stop. He gets up, and he walks to his bed. He feels the heavy weight again. He flops to the bed. He tries to stay awake. He heard that if you hit your head, don't fall asleep. He fights to stay awake. He looses, he goes to sleep.
Ariel wakes up first due to the sunlight. She stretches, yawns and feels Henry. She smiles as she leans over him, checking on him. She frowns, his face, it looks pale. She rubs his head, wondering if he is okay. She place a hand on his forehead, normal. He doesn't feel hot. She looks him over, she stops. There is a bruis on his shoulder. She rubs it gently. She gets up to use the restroom. She washes her face, starts cleaning herself up. She goes out to start breakfast. She looks back at Henry, she will let him sleep in. They aren't going anywhere anyways. She goes down, to make breakfast. She looks out the window. The sun is up, the place looks beautiful. She can't wait to spend time here, she wants to spend as much time here with Henry. She looks to see Leo and Raph walking in. "Morning..." both says. She says it back. She gives out the pancakes. The boys start eating. During breakfast, they talk about what they can do today. .
It's two in the afternoon. Ariel is waiting for Henry to wake up. She decides to wake him now. She goes to her room, and shakes him. He opens his eyes wide, he jerks awake. He looks at her, with blank eyes. She notices his eyes, they look tired, no exhuasted. She rubs his face. "Honey..." she whispers "You okay?"
"What time is it?" he says
"It's two..." she says "Henry..."
He gets up, stretching. He goes to the bathroom. "Where are the kids?"
"Outside, trying to see what we can do today, like a tour around here" Ariel walks up to him. She hugs him. He leans back to kiss her. He brings her up, Ariel giggles as she wraps herself around him. Her legs wrap around his waist. He place her on the sink. He removes her clothes. "Whoa baby..." Henry kisses her, she melts into it. She feels his hand, trialing down her stomach, and stops right in her parts. He starts fingering her. He swallows her moans, and kisses her deeply, making her go out of breath. He leans back, letting her breathe. He goes back to kissing her. He removes his pants, and slides in her. She tightens around him, and yelps. He starts moving. He goes in deep in her. She hangs on to him, while he place his hands on the sink. He pounds into her, she feels so good around him. She moans in pleasure, this feels amazing.
Henry is cuddling Ariel. She is still out of breath. She still can't feel her legs, they are still shaking. She kisses him.
"Let's go, before the boys come in and sees us" Ariel says. The both of them, walk outside to the lake. She sits down on the grass, to enjoy the view. Henry sits next to her. He holds her hand. He feels a little better, but the heavy feeling, is really starting to effect him. He looks around the area. The kids are playing soccer. The both of them are watching. Henry sees the soccer ball go into the woods. Henry gets up to get it. He runs in, and he finds it. He grabs it and walks back but he stops cold. The same man, this time, he turns to a demon. Henry starts running away but he gets thrown down. He gets up quickly, looking for this demon.
"Kill them Henry" he whispers "Or kill yourself"
"NO...stay away from ME!" Henry shouts.
"KILL YOURSELF!" Henry cover his ears. He keeps shouting to go away. The demon disappears. Henry gets up and runs out to his family. He starts hearing voices now. He shakes it off, it's only in my mind. He keeps saying. He kicks the ball to Leo. The kids go back to playing. Henry looks around the place. He squints his eyes, the sun is hurting his eyes now. He covers them. He walks to where Ariel is and lays down. She wraps her arms around him, shielding him from everything. Henry sighs in relief. Ariel can tell something is off, he is not doing well. He is strong, she knows that he is falling ill. Maybe he doesn't want to ruin their vacation. So he is fighting a flu. She wonders, maybe there is something different. She keeps getting the feeling that something bad is going to happen. No, that can't be possible. Thier family is strong. She hopes it all goes well.
The night goes by, it's three in the morning. Henry wakes up, punching the air. He closes his eyes, trying to relax. He starts coughing. He gets up to use the bathroom. He looks at the mirror, he can't believe it. His eyes, are red, his face is pale. Is he sick...? What is going on? He splash water on him. He looks again. He gives up, and he stares at the mirror. He sees the same demon. He turns around to get ready to fight. The demon laughs as he grabs Henry's head, he yells at him. As he did Henry shouts in pain, as he goes down to one knee. He cries out as the demon disappears. He feels arms around him. He starts fighitng back, wanting to break free.
"Honey...shhh...I'm right here...I'm right here"she keeps whispering to him. Henry relaxes when he hears her voice. He hugs her tight. He blinks a few times. "What happen...?"
"I...I don't know" Henry whispers "It's...just a flu"
"No...it can't be. Something is wrong" she says
"I told you NOTHING is wrong!" Henry says a little higher.
"Henry...tell me what is going on!" she says back
"NOTHING!"Henry shouts "Now leave me alone!"
Ariel gasps as Henry raise his voice at her. He sounded powerful, he sounded different, deeper. She looks at the floor, she is shaking. Henry runs his hand down his face. He brings Ariel to a hug.
"I'm sorry...sorry. I'm just tired" he says. Ariel nods, this isn't right, something is going on.
The boys are enjoying their breakfast. Henry is staring blankly at his food. He can't seem to eat anything right now. His head is pounding, his body is aching. All is hurting him. His eyes, red, looking tired, his face pale.
"Dad...You okay?"Leo says
He didn't answer. He didn't hear him. He can't hear him, with all the voices in his head. The voices are getting louder. He hears many, all are shouting at him. He can't hear what they are shouting. He can hear one thing Kill Kill Kill. No, he will not do that. He is strong, nothing can stop him. But these voices, are really giving him a headache. Leo waves a hand in front of him.
"Dad...you okay!?" Leo says again. "Dad.."
Kill , kill . kill . You don't deserve to live. none of them do! Henry covers his ears as he groans in pain.
"Dad..hey dad...everything okay?"
Henry slams his hand on the table. "SHUTUP! SHUT UP!" The boys jump back by the impact. They both flinch and stare at him with fear. Ariel stares at him with disabelief. "All of you SHUT UP!"
"HENRY!"Ariel shouts. He looks at her, with anger. He stands up. She did as well, she is not backing down. "Henry...stop"
Henry laughs as he looks around "I can't..I can't. You can't hear them" He slams the table again, glaring at the boys. "They won't stop" He rubs his head. Ariel reaches to hold him. She cups his face, looking at him.
"You are tired...let's get you to bed" she says
He nods. He really needs sleep. He wants to relax. He turns to his kids. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell. I'm sorry"
"it's okay dad..." Leo whispers.
Ariel wakes up agian. It's three in the morning. She feels the bed side empty. She gets up to run to the bathroom. This time, he isn't there. Ariel heart start racing. She starts looking everywhere for him. "Henry...honey...where are you?" she says. She looks out the window. He is standing outside, in front of the house. She runs down. She goes outside to meet with him. She gets in front of him. "Henry...baby...what happen?"
He stares blankly. He just mumbles but he said one thing. "The voices...I can't stop hearing them..."
She notice that he is really pale, his eyes red. He is also bleeding from his nose.
"The voices...I want them to end. I can't take this pain anymore...I can't" he whispers. She hug him tight.
"Then listen to my voice. You will always find my voice. Listen to me, only me" Ariel whispers to his ear. "Listen to me..."
Henry focus on her voice. All that noise, slowly fading away. He feels better now, he leans into her. He whispers her to keep talking to him. He sees the demon, who is laughing. The demon runs to him and goes straight through him. Henry leans back and throws up. He starts coughing out blood. He shakes his head, the pain. He goes to his knees, trying to catch his breath. "Henry...no." He coughs agian, his stomach hurting. "Henry...hey..."
"Stay away from ME!" he shouts. "You are too LOUD!"
Ariel is taken aback. She makes him look at her. "Look at me, I'm right here with you. I will not leave you"
"Go away GO AWAY!" he shouts at her "Leave me ALONE!"
Ariel tries to hold back tears. She can't believe Henry is shouting at her.
"STAY AWAY" Henry shouts at the top of his lungs. He gasps and he falls to the ground. His world black, he pass out again.
This pain will go away if you sacrifice yourself. Henry shakes his head. He can't do that, not to his family. The darkness swallows him.
Ariel call for the boys to help him up. She decides to do something, but where will she start.
