control

I sat at my open window letting the cool night air travel through my cotton pajama pants. As the cold air mixed with the heat from my body, A shiver went up my back, that sent goose up in response. 

        I was gazing out into the night sky looking at the shimmering diamonds that millions took for granted. You did not have to go to the museum to see this piece of art work. 

        My mind then began wonder off  “If you wished on a shooting star, would your wish really come true or was it just a myth?” 

        I was still dreaming when I was sent crashing to my bedroom floor and nothing to coushin my fall. I coming full force back into reality . A throbbing pain came from my arm. “Something hit me oh my gosh what the hell” I stayed on the ground in shock my back to the floor and eyes on the ceiling . 

        The pain subsided in a matter of seconds. I sat up wondering if anything else would come through the window. “what was it that hit me“. I took a chances and cautiously got to my knees and crawled like a baby back to the window. I peered over the window only letting my eyes show out to the darkness before me. 

        I scanned what I could make out looking in the back yard. My German Sheppard Tyrus was peacefully sleeping on the cool ground. If it was a bird that had flown in the wrong direction and unknowingly committed suicide, then  there would be no shred of evidence left of the bird, “thanks to Tyrus“. Nothing looked out of the ordinary so I got to my feet and extended my body out the window, trying to see if I could look further into the night “to bad I don’t have night vision “I thought with a shrug.

        I could only see where the woods started and nothing beyond that point. I was about to pull my self back in when I noticed something or someone came form the shadows. “what in the world “  my forehead was creased with wrinkles as I pondered this thought. The figure walked into the dim light and It was a human boy that stood there. 

        He face was pointed to my window, I did not know if he was looking at me because I could not see his eyes in the dark, He coked his head a little to the side like a confused puppy . 

        He extended his hand out to me giving me a silent invitation to come to him. The only thing I could do was obey his orders, my feet were the first to respond to his demand. 

        I skipped the floor boards that would creak. It was to late for anyone to be up at this time, but I was prepared if my mom wanted a midnight snack. I made my way to the bottom floor as I walked to the back door I bumped into the end table that was nearest to the back door. I reached for the injured thigh “ow that’s going to hurt in the morning”. 

        I was frozen at the back door to scared to open the door to see what the boy wanted ,but once again my body was in control ”what’s going on with me” I tried to pull my hand from the knob but it was latched on to it. 

        I turned the handle and walked into the backyard where the boy was waiting for me. ”why cant I control my body” I wanted to run back inside but my body had other plans. 

       

        The boys back was turned to me heading into the eerie forest.  I could nothing else but follow him.   He was silent as he moved, he seemed to glide through the thick forest. I on the other hand was clumsy I tripped on over grown roots, and ran into small bushes that seemed to pop out of no where. My keens were scarped with scathes from all falls I have already taken. They stung as the air touched them.

        I was getting so far from home ”where am I” my senses of directions was off  I barely could make it to the corner store with you getting lost .

        The woods were silent as I walked behind the boy who lead me to my doom. Horrible things were going through my head and I could do nothing about it.

        I tried once again to get in control of my body ,but the more I struggled the tighter the grip around me was held. The boy ahead of me let out a demonic laugh that echoed thought out the silent forest. ”was he doing this to me?” 

        At first I thought I was seeing a light that was ahead of us someone coming to save me “oh no one would know I was gone till tomorrow morning.” my head went slack and I closed my eyes as I saw my life come to an end. ”I never got to say goodbye to my family”

 

        I opened my eyes and to my surprise the light became more radiant. We were going towards the light and not around it like I expected us to. The boy stooped a few feet away from the bush  that separated us from the light. I saw him disappear behind the bush “the light, must be fire”  

“where is your guest” a mans voice came from behind the bush.

“she is here just a bit afraid from what hides in the night” A cherubic came back in response.”

“why do you not bring her forth”

“the travel  has worn me out”

“did she struggle much Payson?”

“she is not like the others”

“you will get use to it over time”

        All I could do was look at the bush to afraid to find out what was waiting for me on the other side. could I run “would I be fast enough, no” I shook my head I would probably break my self. I was to clumsy for that kind of flight. 

        “Bring her forth before she runs” the man said while trying to hold back a laugh.

        I did not hear Payson respond to him. I was sill looking at the bush to hard as if it would come alive and take me back to the comforts of my home. He was to fast for me to realize what was happing. I jumped back a few feet as he came back though the bush. I fell to the soft dirt trying to inch away from this boy. I was to distressed to speak or even yell for help “like that would even work”.

         He gave me that inhuman smile again but this time he reached out for me. “don’t touch him,” my mind screamed to my body but once again it was in control giving in, our hands reached and he pulled me up like a rag doll. Payson eyes were memorizing I had to cling to the air around me to just breath.

        He pulled me through the bush, I was to petrified to look up, my eyes were glued to the ground. I could only see the shadows whirling off the others that were around us. 

        “Hello dear ” the mans voice was directed towards me. I got enough courage to look up at the man who spoke to me. My jaw dropped a little bit. “O wow he look like an angel” I shut my jaw as fast as it had dropped 

        The man before me looks very powerful, his shirt outlined his muscle , his shaggy dark hair was a past his chin, his bangs swept past his eyes but no longer then that. His eye were dancing with the fire around him, the man held a alluring smile as he watched me. I had to remember how to breath and this only brought a gracefully laugh from the man that stood before me. 

        “What’s your name child?” the man before me asked “Evelyn” it come out barley as a whisper. “Why did you have to give him your real name you dummy” I was shaking not because I was cold, it was fear that overwhelmed me. 

        “My name is Zeke” he bowed his hand and looked back up to me “You have frightened to death what did you do Payson?” if looks could kill then Payson would be buried six feet under the ground. “she has just watched to many horror movies and has an wild imagination.” he winked at Zeke as if he sharing a secret between the two. 

        “The other will be arriving shortly” Zeke spoke this directly to Payson.

        “Have a seat Evelyn and wait for the rest” he gestured to a log that had fallen down or had it been torn out ,the roots were pulled out from the moist ground.  

    My breathing was heavy as Payson lead me to the log. I was in control of my body . I shrugged my shoulders “I have no where else to go” so I followed him and hesitated as I took my seat next to Payson.

        I began to look around at the few others that were around the fire their backs were now turned. They couple that was closest to me were in a tight embraces, the women looked like she was hanging on for dear life. “look away look away” I turned away for a thing like made me blush.

        “aww here they come” Zeke spoke to himself loudly. I could hear only one sound and that was from the lovers next to me. 

       how was I so calm I know I am not scared but why not, I do not know these people or what the are planning” I could feel eyes on me and the were coming from Payson.

        I could see out of the corner of my eyes that he was smiling but not in the devilish way before. It was in comforting way . 

        He had dirty blonde hair and eye like the sky. his face was flawless  it was kind of hard to keep my eye in there sockets. The only thing I could do was smile back. 

        Payson did not say a single thing to me. He only looked at me and smiled.

                Voices amplified the forest the were coming towards us . These must be the people that Zeke was talking about. 

 

        

        People then began to crowed around the circle six other came from the darkness. I did not pay attention to them for every long because Zeke was now talking to the group again.

“Were is Skylar at?” he asked one of the boys who had pitch black hair

“he had a few problems he will be here soon” the boy said. 

“sit while we wait”  Zeke said gesturing to open ground.

        As Zeke was about to speak again. A high pitched scream came from the wood awaking the animals that were peaceful asleep. The lovers beside me were no longer in a loving embrace. The women that was holding on for dear life ,was now slumped on the ground limp as a rag doll. I just stared at her “is this a joke, is she ok?” 

        Then I saw blood entwined in her short blonde hair. I looked to the man that held her. blood was smeared across his mouth. His eye held nothing but evil. He growled at me showing me his white teeth. All the horror movie came to me at once he was a bad guy “a killer”. I closed my eyes as fast as I could. All the horror movies flooded in my mind at once  

        “damn it sky” I head one of the girls say. 

        “he’s done It again” Payson spoke as if this was not a surprise.

My breathing became ragged I did not now what to do ”I wanted to live that what I wanted” the urge in me to make sure the girl beside me was strong  but what could I do if she was badly hurt. 

 

        

        I had to run and get her help but which way to go. I had to hurry before the noticed me freaking out. I had to make a run for it “on the count of three 1’’ I took a deep breath “2“another deep breath “3”

        I got up and ran as fast as I could through the bush I came from but instead of running the same direction I went south. “someone get her ” I heard Zeke scream out to the rest.

        I could barley see a few feet in front of me but I ran as fast as my legs would take me. The adrenalin made my heart pound faster ,making my ears throb. I could hear them pursuing behind me. I tripped over my feet and got up not worrying about the pain “later” I thought to my self. It was not just one sound it was coming from many angels it sounded like hound dogs on a hunt.

        I looked back and saw nothing, then I looked ahead and ran into a tree full force that sent me to the ground hitting a large rock. ”get up get up” I yelled at my self but my body laid there with no response .

        “I found her” it came from a man I did not recognize “oh no on ho go faraway please” I begged. I closed my eyes tears began to swell up, I was doomed. 

        My head began to spin, then I was engulfed in darkness.
