the side of darkness you dont see, leanne [uplifting books for women TXT] 📗

High heels in my hands my heart raising I start to run I don’t know where I’m going but it got to be better than waiting around for the thing to get me I hear it pick up speed the laughter died down but I can still hear its low chuckle over the pounding of my blood through my hear. I trip over something sharp I fall flat on my face I feel pain wrench through my foot like something was stabbed through I couldn’t worry about that now I had to get up and run that all I can think about to get away form and back to the safety of the school ground.
I hear it gaining on me I know I can’t out run I to slow it down somehow my hands clench around my high heels I turned round to face the thing I could still here it laughing the thing finally speaks but it was very hard understand through growls it making “so you give up sweetie” I can’t see it face because it to dark but I can make out a rough shape out the thing was hunched over it fingers were long I bet you if it wasn’t hunched over it would tower over me. I lift one of my high heels “no way” I spit it and I pushed the pointed end of the high heel into it neck I hear it howl then I start to run it shouts something at me but I can’t hear over the pounding of my blood in my ears. I turn down an alley my heart is beating so hard it feels like it going to leap out of my chest any minute I can the howling from the distance but it wasn’t as far away it was before it sounded like it was coming closer I tried to stop to catch my breath but I didn’t want to take that chance it sounds like it getting closer. I try and hide in the shadows I run against the wall for a while when I feel a hole in the wall it big enough for me to squeeze into.

When we get back to school I walk Bridie to her room “Tiff thanks for a great night and make sure Crystal ok and say thank you to her for me” we hug each other. When I get back to my room Crystal wasn’t there I looked at the time it was past 9 and the lunch room would be close so where was she. I had this bad feeling that something bad has happen to her. I run out the shutting the door as I’m looking around the school grounds to see if she there I bump into someone I look up to find myself staring into bright blue eyes. He stares back at me “hey Tiff wondering when you lot get back I wanted to talk to Crystal I thought she be with you” I stared at him “I don’t know but when I find her I tell her”. He looked confused “what do you mean you don’t know where she is didn’t you to just get back” I shook my head “no I just got back she got back ages ago or I thought but I can’t find her” after saying that out loud I started to worry. Oh my god what if she never got back to school what if she was still out on the street. He put his hand on his jaw “you let her walk on her own why” he looked angry “she said she was feeling sick so she said we should go to cafe she walk back on her own she knew where she going or I thought she did” he turned away from me and started toward the main building where Mrs. Coop office was in.

I can’t believe it was she stupid or what I warned her not to go outside on her own ever “hey wait up where you going” I heard Tiffs voice behind I turn round to face her “I’m going to tell Mrs that Crystal has gone missing” I turned away and started to walking she followed me in to Mrs. Coop office. As I step into her offices she looks up and smiles “hello Theo and Tiff what can I do for you at this time at night” I turned to face Tiff she looks down at her feet “so Tiff are going to explain or do I have to” I cross my arms across my chest she looks up her big green eyes with tears in them turned towards Mrs “Mrs Crystal gone missing I can’t find her anyway I looked everywhere” as near the end of her sentence her voice got higher. Mrs Coop looked at her then me and then she stood up and moved around her desk “when was the last time you saw her Tiff” Tiff looked up into her bright blue eyes “the last time we saw her was when she left the cafe to walk back to school because she felt sick she didn’t want anyone to go with her” after Tiff finish talking I stepped forward so I could talk to Mrs “Mrs I’m going out to look for her I get couple of my mates to help” she nodded and told us to go.

I hugged my knees trying to hold back my sobs I could still hear the growling getting closer. I could feel it getting closer and I could smell it to “you can hide but I can smell your blood so come out” I stay where I was huddled up in the dark. I sat for ages while I could hear the creature outside then suddenly everything went quite I held my breath something cold and sharp grabbed my ankle and pulled I screamed trying to grab something to hold me back but I know I wasn’t strong enough so I made sure I had my last high heel in my hand and let the thing drag me out. I came face to face with the creature I still couldn’t see it face properly because it had something over it. My grips around the shoe tighten instead of bring my hand up to stab in the neck where I did it last time I went lower. I put all my force into heard it slice through it skin I let go of the shoe without thinking about how much pain I’m in I make a run for it ..........

Tiff wouldn’t let us go on our own she had to go because she blamed herself before we left we split up in pairs I put Todd with Tiff. When we were apart from them two Cody turned towards me “do you think one them have gone after her” I just nodded I didn’t want to think about it if there got someone after now and their got hold of her I don’t want to think about what they’re going to do to her. As we turned the corner I see something glistering in the moon light i bend down to see what it was. I picked up the high heel Crystal was wearing at coco’s............

Ran for it I don’t know where I am nothing looked familiar to me I carried on running I couldn’t stop or the thing would get and if he catches me I don’t what it will do to me and I don’t want to find out. Suddenly I felt sharp pain go through my foot I slip and land on my knees I could hear the creature from where I left growling as he pulled another shoe out of it stomach. I get up I could feel blood running down from both of my knees. I need to get this creature of my trail put it on a wild gust chase didn’t it say something about being able to smell my blood. As I was thinking about a plan started to run again the pain I was in now was speechless I was slowing down when I saw a barbed wired fence the idea came up with would put me through more pain but the only thing I could think of at the moment. So I left a bit trail of blood across the road towards the fence I climbed it I put hand over the barb wire and squeezed I Tried to stop myself from screaming but I couldn’t help it I screamed so loud it hurt my ears I let some of the blood trail down the fence and a bit on the floor before I climbed down and round around a corner when I heard the growl get closer I sunken down with my back to the cold wall I didn’t want to run anymore if it found me now and didn’t go for the false trail I give up. Then I hear it claw up the fence and it land on the other side of the fence I let out a breath I started to shake. Something lands on my shoulder I thought this was the end then I open my eyes I look up through my watery eyes to the most amazing blues I ever seen “I got you you’re safe now”............
