Nightmare Story, Chris Williams [early reader chapter books .txt] 📗

you spent with them
They all forget when you move away or can’t call
They all find new loves and friends
They all find new time to spend…
In the end you know that you will just be alone
Again…
The pain…
The torture…
But we are all human
So we even forget, just to stay alive…”
I sat there, stunned in silence. She always did listen to me when I did my rants on love and basic life. She licked her lips, dipped in water, shining with the low glow of her yellow eyes. “Do you seriously think that this woman cares for you that much that she would wait 2 years, with no call or anything? How do you expect a girl to still want to be with you, after you look like a dried up tomato?” The nerve of this woman, now she was just trying to piss me off. “And you say you still love me, you liar.” “I do love you Chris, more then you could possibly imagine. She stared into my eyes, searching for my old self, the self that still loved her to the core. The self that wanted to reach out and hold her for hours. Although this was all in my head, for all I know, she could be thinking about killing me.

The faint sound of jiggling keys and hard boot foot steps broke through our stare. I panicked and said, “Staci, you have to leave now.” Her eyes glowed, she reached out and touched my cheek as she smiled. “Promise me you will stay out of trouble?” I didn’t move my face or say anything rude or mean. I raised an eyebrow (I think I did) and looked down. “Like I can go anywhere Vixen.” She dropped her hand and stepped away, her head tilting down. She popped back to happy life, “Right! What am I saying, you’re you…” She seemed very fake, very automatic. She dug in her pocket of her ripped up jeans. I hadn’t realized how her body was, so perfect. Curves in the right spot, just the right size bust and waist to even her out. She was really a looker, to bad she was looking at me. “Until we meet again Demonboy.” She said still trying to pull out something from her pocket. I felt like I got some revenge so I did the one thing I know that I would regret later. “Goodbye Demon girl…” She pulled out a box and froze, completely still. She stared at me with glowing eyes of yellow light, a smile so strong that it made the air warm. She looked down, but not far enough. I still saw her smiling. “Zazo, if you’re listening, protect him for me. I still love him and Umi to.” A sharp pain in my chest erupted in me, the room went dark. My vision blackened and my voice changed slightly. “I will always and forever, however tell Umi to go suck on a rock!” I felt dizzy as things came back into focus. I saw a flash of a small green light coming from Vixens hand. As she lowed her hand I saw other colored light, not flashing, but colored none else. It was a remote. “She loves you to” The breeze from earlier came back, Vixen leaped to the window as the jiggling grew louder. It took my eyes a minute to realize that she was jumping into a black cloud; so dark I thought it was the darkness of the room. I was freaking out, only for a second. Then I wanted to jump in with her, it looked so amazing.

The cloud began to quickly disappear and dissolved into the air. The door swung open and the remainder of the cloud was swept away in the wind. “You, put your hands in the air!” A strong voice overpowered the small dark room. A police officer, that made me feel so much better. And to add to all the dramatics, he was a fat one; the classic butterball, donut eating, low paying cop, and on top of all that he was pointing his gun right at me. He was sweaty and had big cheeks, they reminded me of a squirrel I saw one time, up close. He had a smirk on his face that pissed me off, so I looked him dead in the eye and said, “Shut the fuck up!” I was happy to say a bad word to a police officer, it was what everyone wanted to do. He pointed the gun to the ground and brought it back up, “Get on the ground or I will be forced to shoot!” “So do it you pig!” I yelled at a high pitch. He took a step back, I started to move my legs off the bed. The dangled over the end as I tried to reach the ground. He seemed like the type to “shoot first, questions later” kind of guy.

My toes felt the cold touch of the floor, a sting went up my body. Then everything slowed down, yet everything happened as if someone pressed the fast forward. All I heard where footsteps, all I saw was the police officers figure, surrounded in a beautiful gothic frame of black. It was really a weird experience. I hitting the floor, feeling the cold wet floor…wet? I looked down to my leg, nothing but black and white. I was fading, the wet floor started to grow. Soon I felt it all over my body. “Chris!” A shriek at the door, the dark figure ran over to me. I saw no features, no detail. “You shot a patient! Chris! Chris!” the voice was so loud, it broke through the fading dark frame around my vision. I felt warm air on my face, it was nice. Until there was a sharp pinch on my nose, then the warm gentle air turned into hard breath being forced down my throat. It was horrible; the black frame disappeared, the air was burning, the light of the room was enhanced, and the damn cop still was pointing the gun at me. The women was panicking, she placed me down gently and ran pass the officer to a phone by the door. She breathed in deep and I clenched in my teeth for the impact of the upcoming disaster. “CODE BLUE! CODE BLUE! I REPEAT, CODE BLUE! GLENN! DOCTOR GLENN! GET TO CHRIS NOW!!! HE’S BEEN SHOT!”
