Chapter 1~ The SightingA Chapter by Jan “Mommy… mommy are you okay? Please don’t
leave me… I don’t want you to go… Mommy…” There my mother was…lying on the
floor with blood all around her. Father was yelling about something but, I
couldn’t understand what he was saying. Mother told me to go to my room but,
when I got there I heard a loud crash and a scream from downstairs. I found her
like this when I got there but, father was gone. Nowhere to be found… I shook
my mother with my little toddler hand hoping she was sleeping but, she wouldn’t
move. Then, I saw her moving… she turned her head to me and her eyes were pitch
black with blood coming out of them, “Come to mommy my dear Terri!” I screamed
and backed away from my mother. “Mommy, what happened? You’re scaring me!”
“Don’t be scared, mommy loves you~” she tries crawling to me but, I scream and
tried to scoot away. Then, I got up and ran but, tripped as I felt something
around my ankle. Awaking from
that treacherous nightmare, I looked around my room terrified. I found my
mother’s picture next to me and grabbed it. I looked at her pretty face, her
wavy brown hair that reaches her shoulders, cupped her face perfectly! She wore
her favorite wavy, green dress; I took this picture of her when we went to pick
flowers. “I miss you mom…” I said to the picture of her and hugged it. “Why did
you have to go?” You see, my
mother died from a disease, my father wouldn’t tell me what it was because he
said I was too young to understand. I tried to figure out what she died from
but, it made my head hurt. I heard voices outside my door,” Dad?” I questioned
as I got off my bed and headed for the door while holding the picture of my
mom. I put my ear against the door to see if I could hear anything. I waited
and waited and waited but, there was nothing. I opened the door a bit to look
outside into the hallway and I could’ve sworn I saw a shadow. I opened the door
more and slowly walked out. I looked around to see if anyone was here but,
there was no one in sight. As I was about to walk back into my room, something
white caught my attention from the corner of my eye. Down the hall was a fading
white light, I couldn’t clearly see what it was but, I wanted to find out. I slowly
walked down the hall, trying to be cautious with where I was going since it was
so dark. I saw the white light fade to the corner by the stairs, so I followed
it. I held onto mom’s picture tighter as I looked around the corner but…
nothing was there. I went down the flight of stairs and looked around a bit
paranoid. I heard a wolf howl from outside causing me to jump a bit and hug
mom’s picture closer. “I love you wolves but, I hate you at the same time.” I
whispered as I looked around to try and find the white light. Where could it be? © 2013 Jan |
