chapter (4):my name part 2
Somewhere in the woods at night....
There was a girl running and running away quickly. She was running in the forest at night and the moon was shining in the forest
The girl was running and ignoring the twigs and branches in the forest that were blocking her path, and she continued to run away from something that was chasing her. She continued running and escaping until she saw that thing behind her.
A huge black tendril was chasing her directly
She continued to run, but it seemed as if she was running without end, as the tendrils continued to approach her, and when he touched her, she felt terrified and screamed, but she did not make a sound, and the tendril swallowed her, but out of terror.
Haaah!
Suddenly Emma woke up from this dream from her bed and looked around her room
"Was it just a dream?" Emma asked
Emma got out of bed, went to the bathroom, brushed her teeth, and put on different clothes to go to school. It was a black hoodie and black pants with lightning stripes on them.
When she went to the guest room, she saw a sandwich that was fast food before going to school
While Emma was sitting, she heard a voice coming and saw her mother unjustly awake. Even Emma was surprised by this
"Hello, good morning," her mother said
"Good morning, mom," Emma replied
Her mother looked at Emma with concern and suspicion
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me in such a strange way?" Emma asked strangely
"Nothing, my dear, but... you've been acting strange since yesterday."
"Since yesterday? Why what happened?" Emma asked
"You don't remember?" Her mother asked worriedly
"I remember what_"
Suddenly, Emma felt some pain in her head and saw flashes of her memory. She saw a forest, a clown boy, and something else, but she couldn't remember exactly what it was, and whenever she tried to remember, she felt some pain.
Ugggh!!!
"Emma are you okay!?" her mother asked
"Don't worry mom, I'm fine, just a little sore," Emma replied
"But I don't really remember what happened yesterday, all I remember are some normal things at school."
"Like being bullied?" Her mother answered
"Did he... tell you?"
"Yes, he told me what happened at school. We had a long discussion."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because it's personal," Emma replied
So why is it personal? Why do your brother's friends attack and bully you? Why didn't you tell me any of this happened! Just why?! Her mother asked angrily and screamed
"BECAUSE!... because it's something I'm responsible for and I have to bear it," Emma replied
"Emma..." her mother answered
"I'm going to school, bye mom," Emma said
When Emma went outside, she tried to remember exactly what happened yesterday
"I went to school. I was exposed to daily insults. I got first place in physics. I went to the cafeteria and fought with Jessica and Sarah. I went to the medical clinic, took some lessons, left, and...what happened after that?...."
I feel like I forgot something very important, something.....I should know
Emma walked down the sidewalk trying to remember what happened
When Emma went to the bus stop and we got on the bus
She saw that there were a few seats and sat somewhere in the back. When the driver saw that all the seats were filled, he started the engine and the bus drove towards the school.
When Emma arrived at school, she stood in front of the school door
"Let's go for another cold day."
The moment she said this, I remembered that she had said something similar to this since yesterday
"Weird...what's this sense of déjà vu?"
"...It doesn't matter, let's go in."
Emma entered the school and walked into the corridor. She remembered similar things like this from yesterday, and she felt as if yesterday's tape was repeating itself
"What the..."
Suddenly she remembered that she was in a forest at night, but suddenly she felt a huge pain in her head
"Ugggh! Just what is happening to me?! This is not the first time I have suffered such pain. Is it the result of Jessica and Sarah attacking me? Or is it something else?"
"More importantly, why were you in a forest?...Something is wrong."
Suddenly, another student pushed her by the shoulder with his shoulder, almost making her fall, and he was going forward with another person
"Watch where you walk nerd!" Jack said sarcastically towards her
Emma looked at them and ignored them with disdain, knowing that he was a close friend of the two girls they attacked yesterday
Jack's friend looked at Emma and looked worriedly at his friend
"Dude...you know she's Andrew's sister right?" Nathan asked
"I know...but you forgot that he has hated his sister since that incident. He can't even stand to look at her face," Jack answered.
"Even if she did who would defend her?, I mean she's an outcast at school"
"That hilarious hahaha"
Nathan looked pityingly at Emma and walked with Jack down the hallway
"Where were you? Because of these idiots, my thinking circle was completely destroyed. Wait a minute. Damn, I forgot I had a gym class!"
"I will try to arrange everything from the beginning while I am in gym class."
.....
Emma was in dodgeball class, remembering what happened while she was on one team and dodging balls coming from the other team.
"Enter, first place, beaten, go to clinic, end of class, and the forest and... Damn it again! I enter school, first place, beaten, go to clinic, end of class and...."
Clank!
Suddenly she was interrupted when the ball hit her in the head
"Ugh! What the heck?"
"Emma out!" The referee shouted as he blew his whistle at her and pointed outside.
"Dammit, I have to start over!" Emma thought
Emma walked away and sat down on the side of the court, looking down hesitantly.
What's wrong with her?" one of the players on her team asked.
"I don't know man, maybe it has something to do with Jessica and Sarah," another player spoke up.
Ugggh! Damn, where were we to start the ball again?
"Enter, first place, beaten, going to the clinic, end of a term, and the forest and... damn it again! I enter the school, first place, beaten, going to the clinic, end of a term and enter, first place, beaten, go to the clinic, end." Class, forest and boy, come in, first place, beaten, wait a minute boy, why did I say that?
Suddenly Emma felt a brainstorm inside her brain. She felt like something was trying to prevent her from knowing what she wanted, but she felt like she would regret it
"Ugggggggggg! Just what's going on? Why do I just feel like, damn it, I'll wash my face, maybe I'll feel better."
....
Emma went to the bathroom, washed her face, looked at the woman and thought to herself...
"Just what's going on with me? I don't usually forget things. This is very strange. It's as if... as if there is something inside me that prevents me from knowing it..."
Emma looked carefully at the woman and noticed that there was a scar on her neck.
"What the heck....why is there a scar on my neck?...!!!!!"
The moment she saw the scar on her neck, she remembered...she remembered everything, especially that smiling face
It was like a cannon shot. The moment she saw the scar, she remembered everything
She was in the woods and she met this boy named Smiley and she met...a monster and she ran away and she got that scar on her neck made by tree branches when she was running for her life, and she saw from afar Smiley when she was looking back Smiley holding the monster in his hand and waving at her with a sadistic smile.
When she remembered all those things, her brain and thoughts shut down, and her confusion turned into pure terror
Ah..ah....ahhhhh!
"That was real! That was real! That was….real?"
She looked at the woman in disbelief at what she saw at that time
If what she saw was really real, she didn't know what to do...
"Who should I tell!? The police!? The FBI!? No, they will think it's a prank! Even if I tell people this, they won't believe me! And my family will think I'm crazy! And all my friends have left me since that incident."
"I have to tell or people will get hurt!__"
At a certain moment flashes appeared in her memory
A flash appeared as she was running away from armed men storming the place and the scene changed as she told someone about what she had seen and the scene changed again as she saw people dragging bodies towards the ambulance.
Flashes appeared as she was standing in the middle of the cafeteria and being criticized and verbally attacked for what she did
Emma looked down, feeling angry and nervous
"What if it was an illusion? What if I just imagining all those things? What if that scar was caused by something else?"
"There's only one way to know for sure."
"I have to meet him...I have to meet that Smiley."
Emma came out of the bathroom and went and completed her lessons normally, and when the lesson was over, she went and headed home by bus. Emma and Andrew met eyes on the bus, but they did not speak, and Jack did not try to bother Emma because her brother was there.
When Emma arrived home alone, her mother welcomed her to school
"How was your day, dear?" her mother asked
"Good, Mom," Emma replied
"Have you been subjected to any other harassment?" her mother asked worriedly
No, mom, Emma answered quickly
"Hey, where's Andrew? Didn't he come with you?" her mother asked
"No...I heard they went outside to play football," Emma answered
"Oh...I hope he's having a good time," her mother said
"I'm going to my room to do homework."
"Well," her mother answered with some sadness, "I was hoping you would do something else with your friends."
"I hoped so," Emma muttered
Emma walked out of the room her mother was in
But in reality, Emma pretended to go to her room and went to get ready to go towards the forest of faces
Emma walked towards her father's room first. Her father was a policeman who worked in office management and would not return until midnight
But he stores something secret and important that only Emma knows and she kept it as a secret.
There was a secret place near her father's bed, a wooden tile that could be returned, and inside it was a box, and inside the box was... a gun.
Her father had a spare gun in case thieves came to break into the house and used it for self-defense. Emma decided to take it secretly and erase all traces of it.
Now all she had to do was wait at night until she went. Emma didn't know why, but she felt that he would not appear until the night, so she sat down and made some preparations to go there.
When night fell Emma knew it was time to go out
Emma went to the door of the house and was ready to go out. She saw her mother and asked anxiously
Emma, what are you doing? She asked her mother worriedly
"I'm going...to meet ■■■■■■ mom."
"What?" her mother was shocked
"Don't worry, mom, I'll be back before midnight."
"Wait....Wait a minute!" her mother shouted
The sound of the door closing was the last thing her mother saw before she left
