Its dark... Lonely... Cold, though what should I expect? Ive been through this many times before, but I still dread it. The dark corners of this place have me constantly on edge, the voices surrounding me... They drive me mad! The seemingly endless limits to this... Room... The darkness streaming on forever, from every angle, the thought that anything could be lurking in those shadows... Every time I enter, pain follows although I never really remember for long... Just random cuts, bruises, and unknown pains... All this place does is fill me with dread...
I sit in what seems to be the middle of the room. The ground, its like a shallow pool of liquid. I guess its water, less than an inch deep and barely enough to cover my fingertips. All I do is wait... I can move, I could just leave couldn't I? Find the door and leave this dreadful place... I stood up, almost falling over due to the headache from moving to quickly. Moving forward, my balance still off slightly I began to run. I ran into the dark stumbling constantly, my mind in a haze and becoming almost drunken due to dizzyness.
I saw a small light source and stumbled towards it, the voices growing louder with every step. As I drew closer I saw something... Just something, I don't know what it is. This things eyes were glowing a bright red, but the rest of it was hidden in the darkness. I let my eyes move back to the light, instead of the creature. I reached out, towards the light. So close! Something hit my side, sending me flying away from the light. I landed on the ground, and a loud crack echoed through the darkness.
Pain shot up my side as I tried to stand, still unable to grab onto anything for support. I finally managed to get to my feet, the pain worsening as I reached for my side. Looking up I saw the creature, it was standing in the way. I needed to get out... Unable to yell, or simply ask why I charged towards the thing in attempt to scare it away or at least take it down. I ran faster, falling forward and landing face first on the ground. I went through it?!
I quickly got up running for the light only to be thrown back again. This time the creature stayed, its clawed hands around my throat. My head was bashed against the ground repeatedly, intense jolts of pain shooting through the back of my head and a warm liquid running down my cheek. All at once it went black... I jolted upright gasping for air and coughing, aching everywhere. There was a bright light streaming into my bedroom as I remained in this panicked state.
This feeling of fear, and the pain causing me to curl up in a ball. I stayed for about an hour before it was all faded. The memories... Everything... I sat up confused and still in pain, not remembering anything. My mother called me from downstairs, causing a splitting headache. I quickly reached up, covering my ears only to send pain shooting through my side. I sat for another minute, then standing up carefully walked over to look in the mirror. There was smeared blood on my cheek, and a few bruises on my neck. I lifted my shirt slightly noticing the large blackish bruise on my ribs, ending near my hip. My mother called again and I quickly got dressed, wrapped a bandage around my markings glad that the bandage covered my neck as well. Now... Time for the new school...
