Shadow of Hart

~~~~~~~~~~~Chapter 2~~~~~~~~~~~

"How do you know about the "shadows"?" I asked, scared, "I used to see shadows too, then suddenly I started having these moments where they would take over my mind and I couldn't remember anything," she said in deep focus. "Same," I thought to myself, but I did not say anything because I had not yet told my mom that it had happened to me, and if I brought it up now, I would just have to explain more. I have so many questions but then my mom starts to speak, "Don't Jane, you will just get her more worried" than Aunt Jane, "What do you mean, I am giving her more info, have you not worried?" "No, she is fine! It's a SHADOW nothing to worry about, you always do this!" mom said angrily, "Come on Breckly, I told you we should have gone to the spa!". After we left and got back home mom went to her room to lay down and "cool down", meanwhile I went over to Piper's house and told her what happened. "What if your Aunt isn't "crazy", what if she is telling the truth," Piper said with wonder in her eyes, "Well even if so, my mom won't let me see her right now, I mean you should have seen how fast we left!" We ended up talking about it for 3 hours before I had to go home, what if she is right though? What if Aunt Jane does know what she's talking about? 

It has been a month, we still haven't seen or talked to Aunt Jane. I haven't seen any shadows. This is not the best summer ever, but maybe it will get better. My mom has some friends with kids, so she is inviting them over so we can "hang out" and "get to know each other" can't wait to see how this goes. "Honey, they are pullin up now!" says mom tryin to act cool about it. "Okay so this is Lia and this is Regina, go on, say hi!" so I say " Hi, my name is Brecklyn, but you can call me Breck if it's easier." I get silence, "You wanna come to my room?" "Sure".

Once we get to my room they start lookin around as they have never seen one before. "I...I like your room, I don't have many friends so, nice to meet you?" Lia said in a question form, "Yeah same here, I'm Regina, people say I am weird just because I talk to rats," Regina said, "Just kidding, I don't like to socialize that much. That's why I was excited to meet you!" "You're funny, so what do you guys like to do?" I get even more silence, so I say, "You know what? To get to know each other, let's sit down and tell each other one big secret?" Hopefully, they are the type of people who won't think I'm crazy! "Sure," they both say, weirdly at the same time. "Jinks," says Regina, but Lia just gives her an awkward look. "Okay, so who goes first?" I ask in wonder, "Not it" says Regina followed by a "Not it" from Lia. "So," Lia says, "What is your secret, Breck?" The first thing that is goin through my mind is that they are callin me Breck, not Breckly, which means we are friends. The second thing is if or if not I should tell them about "the shadows" I mean, they are my friends, but if they tell my mom-, "I see shadows!" I yell in a quiet tone, "wow" "since when?" said Lia. I was actually surprised, I thought that they would think I was crazy! "Since like three months ago," I say excitedly to actually talk about it. "Thanks for not thinkin I'm crazy or somethin!" "What do you mean by crazy?" Regina asked, as if she had never heard that word. Then, we got inturupted by their moms, "Girl's we better get going," said Regina's mom, Jennifer. Continuing on Jennifers phrase,  Ariel, Lia's mom, says, "Yeah, we gotta be at your gramma's house in an hour Lia!" "Comming!" Say the girls in sync with eachother. 

Once they leave, mom starts up dinner, homemade mac n' cheese, (my personal favorite)meanwhile I go to my room to clean. I made my bed, picked up my bright summer clothes off the ground. I find my cloth zip tie bag under the clothes, pick it up, and clean it out so I can put it with the others. To my surprise,I find the paper! You know, the paper that I could not find out what to draw and than I "fell asleep with my eyes open" so says Piper. All it has is a dark grey dot in the middle, "Might as well draw" I said to myself. I start to draw, I left cleaning to my future self, I needed a break anyways. "DInner will be done in 10, okay hun?" says mom, "Sure, I mean ya," I say, not really paying attention. I can't figure out what to draw, but I can't just leave it blank, that's one of my pet peeves. "I could.... no. What about- noo, how about a flower, no." I say in a quiet mummble to myself. You know what? I am just gonna let the pencil do what it wants, I start to draw a line......

The light starts to fade around the room, I can't really seem to move either. Then, I see nothing, all over again, except wait! I am in a chair, sitting, can't move, no light. I start to hear someone talking, I try to hear it and put the words together, "She's here!" a voice says, "we have to go see" said another voice, deeper than the first. "Let's go." Said the first voice. I don't here any foot prints, but I here their talking getting louder and louder. "Come on, she is waiting for us!" They are comming, but who? I don't know them. Do I? Piper isn't here to get me out of this, I can't move! What's comming?- "Breck hun, dinner's ready!" I here calling from the other room, just loud enough to snap me out of it!

After dinner I go to bed. As I lye there I can't help but here those voices, and see the place I was in, which was weird because it was pitch dark! Do I know them? How do they know me?
