Chapter 1

Chapter 1 in "Silent"

What is life? I mean what is the real purpose? We live, we die. But what is in between? Life is probably the most confusing concept known to man.

 

"Paige." said my mother peeking into my room "lights out." I didn't answer. This didn’t bother my mom because I never spoke. She looked at me, probably waiting for an answer but was disappointed (as usual.) She pulled her head out of the doorway and shut it. I was left alone in my room. I sat on my bed and felt out of place. Tears began to roll down my face. For crying was common for me, even my sobs were silent. I never made a sound.

 

Slowly I fell off the bed and curled up into a ball on the carpeted floor. The floor smelled of lavender and other perfumes that were in the room. My mom always lit a couple of scented candles to make me feel calmer. It worked, sometimes. My tears soaked down into the purple carpet.

 

Then I heard a voice in my head, Oh baby. Please don't cry. I shot up like a rocket and looked around. No. It wasn't possible! I knew for a FACT she was gone. And yet I could still hear her sweet voice cooing to me in my ear. The tears rolled faster and faster down my face. I felt scared again. I grabbed my pillow from my bed and dragged it to the corner of the room, right below my window. I dropped the pillow down on the floor and plopped on top of it. The moonlight shone down on my face, revealing my tear streaked face. I felt the moonlight bore down into me, peering right into my soul. I turned my back on the view, for it reminded me to much of her. I let the tears fall to the corner of my mouth, and outline the line of my lips. The taste of tears was salty and wet. I shut my eyes and heard the moon's lullaby in my head.
                  I shine down on my children,
                  lighting the way to happiness.
                  Protecting them. I am the light
                  that breaks through the nightmares
                  I will always show my children the way.
