"She is hanging above you. "
I look up above my head but froze in fear. My heart stop beating, my blood stop moving, my legs giving out under me. The smell of rotten flesh filled my lungs. On my knees, I could feel my arms on my side as my eyes burn the image in my head of the girl. The girl's blood drip on my head and trickle down my face. I don't know if I should scream or if I should run, or if I should kill myself. My head scream with thoughts begging me just to look away. As my head finally started to clear I felt claws on my neck. The nails plunge right into my neck lifting me off the ground. I could feel tears streaming down my face as I cough up blood. I wanted the pain the stop, the girl lifted my head up to her face. I wanted to scream but the nail was right in my vocal cords. She raised her other hand to my neck. She stab her nails right into my neck just below her other hand. She slowly open up my neck. The pain was unbearable, all I could do was feel my head being rip off of my body. She pulled harder on my neck tearing into my neck. The blood spilled out like a fountain. She teared my head right off leaving my head on the ground. Her and my blood mix together as she shot herself over and over until she fell with a thud.
I woke up with shock still in my system. The sun was shining in my eyes causing me to get a headache. My memories were blurry but I could remember the bus crashing. I slowly sit up I could feel something squish under me. I look down to my friend covered in glass with a mix of blood, her eyes open wide with one shard of glass in her eye. As I look up from my friend's dead body I could tell the bus was upside down. The seats were above me, the bus driver body hung upside down with the seat belt still on her. I could see her blood drip down from her head. The shock in my system never left. I could feel my body start to shake. "Heh... Ha. Ahahahhaha" I started to laugh as I put my head in my lap, as I rock back and forth on my friends body. I could feel the tears threatened to fall from my eyes but made no move. I could hear sirens getting closer to the bus. That could be in my head. After all i'm just dreaming, none of this is real. I will wake up, touch my friend, go on a nice trip and have a great time. Then go back to my family where mom will already be waiting for me. I pulled hard on my neck feeling pain. "I can wake up if I kill myself....she does this everytime. It's only dream, she just doing hallucinations again on me" I repeated. Just end it. Just stop it. Just get this thing out of me! I grab the the glass that was in my friends eye and stab my neck.
The warm water washed over my hands as I scrub as hard as I could. The dishes were such a pain especially when you knew your best friend was on a class trip. I was supposed to go a class trip with my best friend Emily. I was supposed to be with Emily and Tasha (Emily best friend). This was supposed be the never forgetful 5th grade field trip! I scrub harder on the dish finally get the old cheese out of the dish. I put the last plate next to sink and go to dry my hands. I was grounded last minute but my parents or more so my mom. I didn't clean my room for 3 straight days, I call it a record. But of course my mom didn't like (her being the neat freak that she is) me not cleaning my room. So I was grounded for a week, at the time I was mad I didn't get to go but now I wished I went.
I rush to the living room and sit right next to my mom.
"Lilith I know your mad at me but, I decided that I'm going to take you to an amusement park! I know for past days you've been sad that you didn't get to go to the trip and I've seen hard you have been cleaning. So I decided that this is good idea to reward you. " My mom smile,
"Really, thanks mom, you really are the best mom! " I hug her tight and she hugs me right back.
"Ok, I know you watch that crime show but I have to check the news real quick. To know the weather is to know which day to go to the amusement park. "
I nod, she flips through the channels after going through the channels my mom lands on the news. Right on time too, it talks about how it's going to be a sunny week all day in Georgia. Which is rare because Georgia weather is really bipolar. Me and my mom high five. My mom grab the the remote when a knock came to the door. My mom took the remote with her (bad habit of hers) which left me with the news. I was about to ask my mom for the remote back when something made my snap right back to the TV.
"In other news, a field trip up to the mountains to have a fun was supposed to happen to these students. A school bus found on the side of the mountain almost causing a forest fire near blue Ridge. " Blue Ridge, that was where my class was supposed to go. I could feel dread and anxiety weigh me down. My mom's talking became back round noise as the TV kept running its mouth. I couldn't shut it up, it hurts, why did my neck hurt? They kept talking about how the bus may of slip on the pavement causing it to fall but some of the facts didn't match up. It said that the bus may of slip but the road wasn't narrow. That it slip doesn't make sense either because it wasn't even raining that day.
None of it made sense.
"Lilith" My mom voice was filled with nothing but sadness which made me suspect she found out about the bus incident. My eyes burn the image of the bus upside down where all my friends layed in black bags. My mom gasp seeing the incident. She grab me tight as I cried in her shoulder.
"Lilith, Emily left a letter that she was going to give to you. The police found it in her hands and they decided to give it to you. May give you some comfort." My mom handed me a letter that Emily wrote to me possibly before she died. I slowly remove the envelope that was hiding the secrets of Emily.
Dear Lilith,
I sure do miss you a lot! I hope you are doing well! So as you may know I'm on the trip. I miss you so much good thing you weren't here. I would of end up killing you to. Look by now you should know I was the one who killed the students. Trust me I didn't want to do it. She made me do it. You've seen her too. She loved you. She thought of you as her child. That dream, she is choosing you now. I'm so glad we meet because if we didn't my family would still have this curse. Now I give it to you. Now my family doesn't have to endure this cruse anymore. I'm sorry, but I just can't deal with this cruse anymore. So when I end my life and with the other students it will come to you. It will start with nightmares, then it will kill everything around unless you know how not to be afraid of it.
Your best friend Emily.
My heart race faster as sweat drip down my face. Pure terror struck me like an arrow. Did she really cause the bus to crash? Why? What did she mean by cruse? No, no, she is playing a trick on me or I'm really just in a dream? I look up from the letter to be faced with reality. My friend lifeless body staring directly at the TV. Her body was covered in blood and glass. There was one glass that stuck out of her neck. If she had to be precise that glass pierced through her vocal cords. The longer she stared at the TV the longer Emily's smile grew. "She is coming for you" Her mom whispered. I looked up at my mom who was still talking to someone on the phone. If it wasn't her mom who said that. Who said it?
"My dream. She said the dream I had but how did Emily know? I only had that dream last night. Yet this letter says it was sent a week ago. " The uneasiness and fear set in.
"I'm going to die. "
