There Inside

Her Truth

It was a dark and stormy night, I was sitting on the cold hard bed, upon which laid a bloody head. Oh whose I know and of how I know all. I sat and straightened my back. A knock of three times made me flee...... for he is here. The one of which I dread and fear, he can take it away or make it worse...... I can hear the rapping from the door as I run down the creaking hall. I can feel the cold hand approach my body, nearer and nearer. The taste of blood in my frozen mouth, the chills will not stop. He will not rest till I'm found and punished worse than death. Stuck, I cannot move the wooden floor is sinking, and I with it. I scream out in shock as the feeling of the cold slithers my body. I try to resist his grasp upon my soul.

I open my eyes, and there is resting me. I feel the thing around my body, macabre smile appearing on my face, but I did not put it there. Open, close, open, close, and open once more. The feeling of it swallowing me is terrifying, I struggle to break free from the horrifying grip. He stands wobbling, moving here and there. A wolf in sheep's clothing. I drift further and further from the white hands of which cradle me. Slamming back to consciousness, by those that I trust.

Finally...... I used my weapons to stand; I lurch to the left, then the right. It touches, I feel...... I feel once more. I run my weapon across another. Slowly gripping it, screams from her inside. I just got out, all she does is nag, nag, NAG. SHUT UP, I'M THE ONE IN CONTROL. Silence.... raging silence, now I can work. My weapon dragging against the wall as I stagger out the door.

I wake up to a cold hard bed, this time to bloody heads. He cackles and cackles again. I straighten my back, the cold metal blade against my flesh. I can't handle his grip. I can't handle his consumption of what I am. I can't handle there inside my own mind.
