The Scream

Hi to everyone who decided to read this book. This is a short story that only has one chapter, but if there are a lot of people who like it, I could make it full length. Please Enjoy!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Go through life with your head high and know that you are loved. That was the motto that Genevieve Raleigh lived by her entire life, that was until her 18th birthday. That was the day that her life changed forever.

Genevieve and her best friends, Ryland and Ellington, are going out to celebrate her 18th birthday. As they arrive to their favorite restaurant, Big Belly Burger, Genevieve notices something strange.

Hey do you see that guy sitting over there?  Genevieve asks.

Who? The one staring creepily at you. Ellington points out.

Scoffing at her friend idiocy, she replies,  Yes Ell, that guy. she exclaims.  He is creeping me out. Everytime I look over there, I get this weird feeling. This didn't sit right with Genevieve.

Do you want me to go over there and have a chat with that creep? Ryland asks as he starts to stand up. Ryland Shore was the love of her life; even if he didnt know it yet. Genevieve has loved him since the moment they first met. Realizing that he had stood up and was walking over, Genevieve runs over and grabs his arm, pulling him back to the table.

Ryland Michael Shore, do not go over there and start a fight.  You will most definitely get us kicked out of here! Genevieve exclaims.  No sooner the words came out of her mouth, her head began to pound, feeling like it was ready to explode. Miserably, she fell down to the ground in pain. As her friends ran to her and to see what's wrong, the pain suddenly dissipates.  With the help of her friends, Genevieve stands up. As she regains her balance, Genevieve finds herself in Rylands warm embrace. As she was hugging him she heard something.

I love you so much Gen. Please dont ever leave me

Ryland, did you say something?  Genevieve asks.

No. Why? he says.

Oh nothing, I just thought you said something. Gen says. The group of friends start walking back to sit down when Gen hears the voices again.

You heard his thoughts when you touched him didn't you?

Who said that? She exclaims

I did. Turn around.  As she turns around she sees the creepy guy that was staring at her earlier.

Who are you? she asks. Her friends give her a weird look before returning back to the conversation they were having.

My name is Alexander Smoak. Well, that at least is my human name.  My real name is Dariox. I am your father.

No! My father died along time ago. Wait, did you say human name?

Who ever told you that lied. I'm alive and there is so much I have to tell you. As you can imagine, I am not from here. I'm actually from Mars.

Gen. are you okay? Ryland ask concerned. Ryland starts to walk up to her, but Genevieve moves back.

No don't touch me. Leave me alone. she says as she runs out of Big Belly Burger.  Frightened, Genevieve did not stop until she gets home. Once she arrived at home, Genevieve locked herself in her room and refused to come out. Only, venturing out long enough to eat, Genevieve remained fearful of these powers, the power to hear ones thoughts when in contact with them,  she stayed locked in her room for a month.

Her friends called often and after her month of solitude,  Genevieve gave in and took Rylands call.

Genevieve, is that you?  Thank goodness, you actually answered my call.  Ryland says frantically. Ive been so worried.
