I have started to write a horror story because I have always wanted to get my ideas out there. So here are some chapters of my story. I will add chapters each time I finish one. The artwork for the characters is still in progress!
The one left behind
Chapter One: Blood shed
Blood shot in every direction. It felt like there were people all around me were getting stabbed. But there was only one who shedded the blood. She was dead, and I coulden't believe my eyes. There she was right in front of me, bleeding to death on the hardwood floor. Lily, the only person who really cared about me, was dead. I stared at the blood on my hands and screamed in horror. I looked up to see Lily's murderer but he was gone.
6 years later
"Shane!" Maria cries out with glee. To my surprise, she ran up to me and slapped my back.
"Oww! What the hell was that for?!" I yelled in confusion.
"Oh, no reason I guess. By the way, are you free tonight?" She askes.
"Ah, I guess so, why do you ask? She gave me a weird look, like she was saying I was just plain stupid. She rolled her eyes and sighed.
"You know that concert i've been talking about all week? Well I was wondering if you could come with me because everybody else is either busy or not interested in going." Wow, maybe I am stupid.
"Um, I better ask my folks, they might have something planned that they want me to go to, but if I can then i'll go."
"REALLY! OH THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!" She yelps with cheer as she lunges at me and squeezes me in a tight hug. She must have been really desperate to go with someone if she reacted like that.
"Ok, I'll pick you up at seven, ok?" She askes.
"Sure, that sounds good to me. I'll call you when I get my folks permission."
"Kay, see ya tonight!" She says as she runs to joina big group of people.
I started to walk home when Jake Bennett, one of my good friends comes over to me and puts his hand on my shoulder.
"You lucky b*****d." He says with a huge grin on his face. What the hell did he want?
"What?" I ask a little bit annoyed.
"You know, Maria Hunt just asked you on a date." He congradulated me.
"What the hell are you talking about! We're just going to a concert! Nothing else! Besides, why are you listening on on our conversation? I asked really annoyed now.
"How can you not?!, all we hear is Maria screaming 'THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!' It's kinda easy to listen in. Them she goes over to her friends and says that she is going to a concert with you. Lucky you!" He says with a much bigger grin on his face.
"Jake, let me get this through your tiny little brain, we are just friends!, nothing else is going on between us!" I yell at him bu the only thing that got to his brain was his instincts telling him to laugh at me.
"Alright then, have fun with Maria at the concert, if you know what I mean." he says with laughter. Someday, I hope he just minds his own buisness for once.
As I walked home it started to rain. I have no idea why it started to rain, it was nice and sunny a minute ago. But the weirdness just got weirder.
Chapter Two: Lost memories
To my very eyes, I saw this girl. She was beautiful, she had short jet black hair, baby blue eyes, her skin was as pale as an angel, and somehow I recognozed her but I don't know where. I stared at her in amazement. All of a sudden she looked over at me and a tear came from her right eye and slowly crawled down her cheek. She said something to me and I could barely make it out. It looked like she was saying "Goodbye, Shane." I looked at her like she was speaking some weird language. She turned her head and started to walk across the street. Moments later a speeding car come by and she was jsut standing in it's path. She just stands there in the middle on the road like she's the only one there. She turns her head to look at me again. "Goodbye, Shane." she says to me again then turns her head to the speeding car.
"Noooo! Get out of the way!" I yell over to her as I run to push her out of the way. Just as the car was right beside her, I lunged myself at her to get her out of the way but she suddenly disapears out of thin air. A secound after, I feel the car's hood against my skin.
I hear this voice in my head. A voice i've heard before. A gentle voice that was asking me something I didn't have the anwser to. "Why did you try to save me now and not 6 years ago? Don't you care about me, Shane?" The voice suddenly faded away and I could hear my parents voices. I opened my eyes slowly and discovered to my surprise that I was in the hospital. I could hear the beepign of the machines. It sounded all too familiar. Then I felt my mother rap her arms around be and start to cry.
"Oh Shane! I'm so happy your alive! I thought i'd lost you!"
"W-what happened to me?" I ask.
"You were hit by a car, remeber?" My father says in confusion.
Then the memory came back to me of that girl. I suddenly push myself up into a sitting position almost knocking my head on something.
"Where is that girl?! Is she alright?! Is she even alive?! I yell and the doctor.
"Girl? What girl are you talking about? There was no girl when we found you. The driver said that you were the only one there. Do you mean to say that there was someone else with you son?" the doctor asks.
I could have swarn that I saw a girl! She was so clear to see with her pale skin in the rain. I must have been daydreaming.
"Nevermind, I'm just not feeling well, I guess."
"Well, you should get somemore rest then." The doctor stepped out of the room and my parents followed. I was finally alone again adn free to think to myself. What was that girl, where did she come from, how does she know who I am, but most important of all, how the hell do I know who she is?
I tossed and turned that night. I coulden't sleep at all knowing something was terriblely wroung. There I lay, on the hospital bed, shivering and gritting my teeth in fear. What was going to happen now? Was that girl just my imagination, or was she really alive? I sat up on the bed. I have to go find out. I swing my legs over to the side of the bed and grab my crutches. I started to walk to the door when I heard a nurse coming down the hall. I knew I would be in deep s**t if they found out that I was out of bed and not getting the rest I so despersatly needed.I turned around and went as fast as I could to my bed. The nurse was almost to my door when I put the crutches down and crawled under the blanket. She came through the door to check on me and then shut the door and walked away. Maybe I should find out when i'm not being held hostage in a stupid hospital. I sanked back into the bed and slowly closed my eyes. But then, the memory came back. I saw how she was about to get runned over, and how I had tried to save her. I could have swarn that she was really there. The driver said he didn't see anyone else there but I know for a fact that she was there, just waiting to die. I suddenly got another memory. There was blood everywhere, all on the walls, on me, on everything. Then I saw the girl slow drop to the floor. She looked a lot younger than when I last saw her. She was just lying there, bleeding. I woke up and started to scream. One of the nurses came rushing in to see what had happen.
"What's wroung?!" She cried. But I coulden't speak a word. I was out of breath. She ran out the door to get the doctor. I could hear their footsteps speeding to my room. Finally, they got to my room.
"What's the matter son?!" The doctor yelled at me with concern. But I still couldn't even make a sound. It was so hard to breathe. I felt so woozy that I coulden't move. Suddenly, I fell to the floor coughing up blood.
Chapter Three: Remeberance
She had come back in my dreams yet again. I thought she was gone, but she was here the whole time, waiting for me to notice. She is covered in blood, her blood, and many others. She looked at me with her angelic face. "Why did you try to save me now, and not back then? Was I not important to you? Was I just someone you just happened to know? I thought you loved me. I thought we made a promise to stay together forever. Your a liar."
I suddenly woke up noticing that I had left the hospital. I was in my room. I looked around the room to see if anything out of the ordinary was well, out of the ordinary, but everything was how I had left it. A sigh of relief escaped my lips. Was she finally gone?
"Shane?! Are you up yet?! My mother Mary yells.
"Ya mom!" I shout back.
"Come downstairs and get something to eat!"
I sigh "Ok mom! I'll be down in a secound!" I get out of my bed and walk over to my closet to get my clothes. I grab a graphic t-shirt and a pair of old jeans. I take off my shirt and suddenly feel a hand on my shoulder.
"Have a good day." A soft voice whispers in my ear. I spun around to see who or what was behind me, but when I completely turned around, nothing was there. I could have sworn that something was touching me. I finish getting dressed and run downstairs. When I get ot the kitchen, my Father, mother, and little sister are sitting at the table.
"Welcome to earth, you alien!" My little sister Claire teased me.
"Shut up." I snap at her annoyed.
"Stop fighting and eat." My Father Johnathan or John for short snaps.
I turn around to get some bread to make some toast. I look out the window and see that girl yet again, she was just standing on the street, staring at me. I gasp in surprise and my mother just happened to hear me.
"Is everything alright Shane?" She askes with a hint of humor. I look over at her.
"Ya, I'm fine." I drawed my eyes back out the window and she was gone.
I popped a slice of bread in the toaster and waited. A few minutes later the bread pops out of the toaster and is now toast. I walk over to the refridgerator and grab some butter. I walk back to the counter and butter my toast. I stuff it in my mouth and run back upstairs to grab my bag. I ran back downstairs and out the door. Once I passed the driveway I noticed that Maria was waiting for me.
"Hey Shane!" She shouts while jumping up and down.
"Oh, hey Maria. I'm really sorry I couldn't go to that concert with you." I apoligize.
"Oh it's fine, I didn't go, people say it sucked a** anyway so i'm glad that I didn't waste my money on tickets." She said happily. "So what exactly happened to you Shane? I heard you were in the hospital."
"Oh, I just got hit by a car, nothing much."
"Nothing much?! Shane you could have been killed!" She yelled with concern.
"Come on, it's not that bad. Stop worrying about me so much."
"Why can't I worry about you?! Shane you mean a lot to me! If you had ever disapeared I would go insane! Because I-!" She stopped her sentence. What was she trying to say?
"What was that Maria?" I ask confused.
"It's nothing" She mutters as she runs away from me. I wonder what her problem was.
When I finally got to school, Jake came running up to me like he had something extremely important to say.
"Holy s**t Shane, what the hell were you thinking man?!" He yelled at me.
"What? You mean the accident?"
"Of course dumbass! What else do you think i'm talking about?!" He snaps.
"I, I don't know." I studder. The bell suddenlt rang and surprised me like a birthday surprise. I walked up the stairs and into the building. I walked to my locker and unlocked it. I put my bag inside and when I shut the locker door, everybody who was just here a secound ago were gone. What the hell is going on? I looked around and I saw that girl once again. She was just standing in the middle of the hallway, waiting.
"Hello Shane." she said.
"What the hell? Tell me, who the hell are you and how do you know my name?" I ask her.
She slowly starts to walk towards me.
"You really don't remeber me, do you?" She asks with a sad face.
I start to shiver when I notice that she is close enough to reach out and touch her. She suddenly stops right infront of me.
"Maybe this, will help you remeber." She whispers softly into my ear. She put both of her cold hands on the sides of my face and pulled me toward her. She leaned forword and locked her lips with mine.
