Pale Red

“Nora.”

I turned around and removed my earbuds, thinking someone had called my name. There was no one there. I went and checked the hallway. Nothing. I shrugged and put my headphones back in.

“NORA!”

This time it was louder, unmistakable. Someone had to have called for me. Thinking that maybe someone was outside, I looked out my window. Absolutely nothing. I moved the curtain back into place and turned around. Reflected in my mirror was a pale, scared looking me. I brushed it off and sat down to finish my homework.

Later, as I turned off all my lights and laid down to go to sleep, I heard a voice sing-song my name.

“Nor..a!”

Things were seriously freaky. My parents were out and I was home alone. I had to be going insane or something.

“Nora, don’t you hear me?”

As crazy as it sounds, I decided to answer whatever, or whoever had asked.

“Yeah, I hear you. What do you want?”

“Listen Nora, don’t you hear them?”

“Who’s them?” Soon enough my ears were filled with the buzz of a thousand or more voices. They all seemed to be calling my name. I followed the sounds and soon I was looking down at my bed, watching my body. It sat up. It stretched, then laughed, looking directly at me with piercing red eyes.

This is fantastic Rachel, it's quite something for a writer to be able to leave me wanting more, but the method you use to describe a character's mentality is grand, and I want more! Please, I ask you, continue this piece, I find mentality really rather interesting. Trés bien mademoiselle!
