FEARS

“Wake up June, it’s your birthday and we have to go to school. Wake up and I will give you your present.” 

Ady yelled. I got out of bed and walked down the stairs. Evaya made pancakes. Evaya stared at me the whole time I walked to the table and ate. She even watched me do all of the things I needed to do, like. I closed the door to the bedroom when I was getting dressed and I started to wonder why.

Adyson’s voice startled me out of my strange dream and suddenly, I forgot about it. I ran down the stairs and Evaya was watching me with a strange look. The whole time. I was getting scared now. Were my dreams coming true? I’d predicted Maya becoming a demon but that was probably a coincidence.

She left before I could ask her about it. I washed the dishes while Adyson told me that I might have a dream about where the creepy mistress was but I was only half listening. I told her I was going to get dressed but as I walked down one of the many hallways, Evaya grabbed me and pulled me into her room and kissed me. I pulled away and screamed. Evaya put her hand over my mouth. She let go. 

“What the fuck?!” I yelled.

“Shhh. I know you like me June. I like you too. I used to watch you, you know. When we were kids. You might not remember but we used to kiss on the cheek all the time at daycare. We played family.” 

Before Evaya could go on I opened the door and ran down the stairs breathing heavily. I stopped, I looked to the right then to the left. The room was empty. The name June was carved on the wall over and over again. I was terrified. I turned the light on only to reveal a picture of me, Mom, Dad and May. In the picture there was a knife through Dad’s head, a plate through Mom’s chest. I started to sob when I saw something very disturbing. 

‘We’re coming June. Soon enough you will die’, was written in blood on the wall. A glass of green liquid lay on the counter with duct tape next to it. I ran to the door but it was locked. I screamed and banged on the door but no one answered. That was when it hit me, I was alone. I was well and truly alone. I turned around and sank to the floor, my back against the door and I cried, but this time I couldn’t stop. I was locked in a creepy room saying someone was going to kill me and my new best friend’s older sister had just kissed me. My life was a mess. I laughed. It was a humorless, cold, laugh, but a laugh all the same. I might be going into hysteria. Slowly, my eyelids grew heavy and I fell to sleep.
