DÎVERSÎTY

Ocean

Thoughts trembled in my hands as I gazed out into the ocean, ruff yet calming as the droplets of salt water hug my cold soul. The sound of waves fill my ears with a chorus of worlds yet to discover. The sand was grabbing at my feet crawling up my spine daring me to go into the salt bath. I glance back over my shoulder to look back at my car my body then follows as i drag my feet back to the car.

Home The streets where dirty i could hear the hum of cars drift by my window. I pull out my laptop and check my Skype " no messages huh" my hands fumble slightly as I feel disappointment growing in my stomach. I only had a few good friends, ashley ( ash ) outgoing, confident and full of herself, Tiffany ( Tiff ) kind, anxious, loving, Daniel ( Dan ) funny, caring, unique. I thought one of them may have missed me? Or maybe they are just busy? I gently close my lap top and plop myself onto my bed. Just as lay my head down i hear strong knocking coming from the corridor, It was directed towards me. I slowly opened the door unwrapping a intense face. "It happened again" tiffany grasped the door handle swooped herself in and slammed the door shut.

We need to talk

"We need to talk" tiffany projected with a stern face, "About What?" My voice shakes and shatters, Am I in trouble? Did someone die? "About my panic attacks" i knew this was a hard topic for her but i thought she had it under control. "It happened again, but this time worse!" "Well are you going to tell me what happened?" She starts to shake vigorously "Not now but maybe later" she looks horrified "Tiff are you ok?" Her eyes have ripples of water waiting to fall "I'm fine." I can tell shes not. Tiffany escorts herself out of the room and up the jagged hall way with out another word.

I couldn't sleep Tiffany's lonely eyes her washed up smile and her words "I'm fine" eco in my head and ring in my ears. I wonder if Dans awake? My tired eyes find a foreign object i click the home screen to see many messages from Dan, i message him as fast as my fingers can type. "Have you heard from Tiffany?" I wait it feels like hours before I give up on waiting. He doesn't reply.

Missed call

The morning was bitter, my watery eyes agreed I gaze over at my phone; 1 missed call I quickly grasp my phone all my head can say is Tiffany, Tiffany, Tiffany. The phone illuminates my room and burns my eyes as I stare at Dans name on the screen. Damn it Dan! Its 8am he will not be awake for another hour. I will call him at work, and yes Being an 16 year old girl i did have a job at a small coffee shop named caffeine. I was a waitress.

The shop was quiet it was anything but busy, I remember dans call and quickly whip out my phone hoping no one would catch me, beep, beep, beep guess he's busy. I decide to check a few other messages i got from him last night. He must have wanted to ta- "Texting on the job I see?" My manager gallops out. I knew this was the end of my job, they where so strict here. "FIRED!"

Fired

"Its not your fault" Dan calmly says, his words almost evaporate, they are meaningless.  "So its ok to be an 16 year old, unemployed emotional reck?" My voice shakes and shatters "Yes" Dan replies with a sympathetic grin.

Dan closes the door behind him carefully. Alone again, I'm always alone. I check my Skype hoping I would be less alone. Oh Tiffany, I hope your ok. Click. Tiffany left me some messages, "He's coming" "be careful" "He is here" Who is he? What did he want? BANG! I leap back and lead my eyes towards the noise, the floor boards were creaking and my heart is pounding. "Hh- hello?" My radio flickers on. What the hell is going on! I get into a corner and curl up as tight as I can. And wait, wait for it to leave.

"STOP!" My book goes flying of the shelf,
"LEAVE!" The tap becomes a waterfall of noise fulling my mind,
"PLEASE!" My nails dig into my delicate flesh my blood pools on the floor boards,
"ARGHHHH!" Pain shudders through my body.
I can see it standing in the middle of the room tall and skinny, this is the definition of fear, the shadowy figure almost stairs into my soul, yet it has no eyes, no mouth, no nose. It melts into the floor like a descending candle. What the hell just happened?!

Ouija

"You probably think this is crazy, but maybe we should try and communicate to it?" Tiffany said confidently. "Are you serious! This is how all the horror movies go they try to communicate get possessed and die!, but I'm very curious..." Tiffany grabs out a note book with numbers and letters scribbled on it, she lays it on the floor treating it like a corpse. "do you know how it works tiffany?" "Yes", we put two fingers on the board and start. I can see her body frantically shivering "is there anyone here?" The board moves slowly towards YES it feels almost magnetic. "Are we in danger? We look up as the board begins to move to YES.
