Chapter 11 Why Are You Still Waiting?

You were wandering around and endless forest. 

   The tall trees towered above you, making you feel somewhat intimidated and completely exposed. The fallen leaves formed a deep brown and reddish carpet under your feet as you walked and walked endlessly on them. The dull sunshine that peered diffusely inside the forest was filtered through the leaves and had gained an eerie green tint on it making the whole place appear like it was haunted. The scent of mold and decay was profound and made you wince every now and then, feeling the humidity deep inside your lungs, heavy and almost choking. You had absolutely no recollection on how did you manage to get to this place. The last thing you saw was EJ’s royal blue mask leaning above you and his hands cradling you with caution before you passed out in them after you begged him to kill you. Your thoughts snapped. That’s it! He must have killed you! You must be dead! You looked around you in confusion. If you really are dead, then what on earth is this place? It shouldn’t be Heaven nor can it be Hell; it’s too cold to be Hell. Then just exactly what is this place? You feet kept moving on forward, as if they were moving on their own, deeper and deeper into the heart of the forest.

    You looked down to yourself. You were wearing your favorite tank top and pair of jeans, along with your favorite pair of sneakers. When you were still human, you used to wear them every day at summer, walking around the forests with your dad, on various expeditions the two of you organized. But that was a hell lot of time ago. Now, you were no longer human and your father was no longer alive.

     The forest around you was strangely quiet. There was absolutely no sound coming from anywhere, not even the wind, not even a single animal wandering around to find something to eat. All this silence was something that cause you to be on edge all the time, looking around you as if someone was about to pop up from anywhere and attack you. But as if all that weren’t enough to help the sanity decrease rapidly inside you, from the corner of your eye, you noticed that a strange black mist started invading the space, creeping it way slowly behind you, gently sliding on the moist soil and among the mold-covered trees. It was too far behind you though, and right now, you just couldn’t investigate it more, only proceeded to walk further and further down.

     Then, you came to an abrupt stop.

     Just a few meters in front of you, standing with her back turned towards you, stood Cady.

     Your heart sank inside your chest and your jaw dropped to the floor. How can this be? Why is she here? Is it truly her? Slowly and with great caution, you managed to choke out ‘C…Cady?’ with your voice sounding alien even to you. The little girl didn’t respond to your voice. She just kept looking forward, not turning to look at you. There was a moment of total silence, where the only thing you could hear, was your breathing and the faint beating of your heart. And then, the little girl began running.

 ‘Hey! Wait up!’ you say surprised and start running behind her.

  Surprisingly, the little girl seems to run faster than you first thought. Quickly, you find yourself struggling to follow her through the trees and not lose her from your sight. She runs fast, her little figure literally as if it was flowing over the steep ground, laughing merrily, her laughter echoing hard on your ears. And to make matters worse, the black mist seemed to run behind you and even catch up with you, as black tentacles of mist started getting in your way. You dared not look behind; dreadful of what you would see inside the blackness that you felt breathing on your back. After some more minutes the little girl came to a stop, still having her back towards you. You stopped as well and bend over, resting your hands on your knees and trying to catch your breath as you looked at her and then around you. You were wrong; the black mist wasn’t after you and in fact was far behind with only some tentacles reaching close to the little girl in front of you, seemingly dancing around her petite hands.

  ‘Cady…what are you doing here?’ you breathe out finally.

‘______’ she just says.

‘Honey what are you doing here?’ you keep asking.

‘I came to see you ____.’ She says and turns towards you ‘They told me to ask you what is taking you so long.’

   Your eyes open wide and your blood turns cold. Cady was just as you remembered her, still wearing her Halloween costume, her hair falling down her back, her skin as pale as yours. Only that she was different. When she turned towards you, you nearly screamed out of terror. A huge and deep slash was starting from just above her eyebrows, coming down to her lower belly, hanging open and drained from all blood. It was so deep, you knew that if there were any organs, they would have fallen out by now. The blood that had stained her clothes long ago was pitch black, turning her once lovely image to a scene out of a nightmare. But what managed to petrify you, was her black eyes. No iris. Only black sclera.

 Instinctively, your feet took a few steps back.

‘Mommy and Daddy wanted me to ask you what is taking you so long ____’ her voice suddenly is haunting and pitch high, with two more voices hidden underneath hers.

  ‘Why haven’t you killed them yet? Did you not love us enough?’

Another few steps back

‘Why are you still waiting? Don’t you want revenge?’ 

‘C-Cady it’s not that it-‘

‘DON’T YOU WANNA KILL THEM ALL ____?’

  There was a bright lightning. You were blinded for a single moment and your hands covered your ears as you cringed and took another step back in total terror. This wasn’t happening! This can’t be happening! Someone help!

 ‘You must take revenge _____.’

   Suddenly, the ground under you shook. Terrified, you gaze down, only to scream on the top of your lungs, as black hands started coming out, grabbing your ankles and trying to pull you down inside the ground. You fall in the ground in front of you as they start pulling you towards them. The ground where they are has now turned back, as if there was a black lake. You desperately try to hold on to something, your nails scratching against the dry soil. You scream for help, trying with everything you had to fight them off, kicking and turning and screaming, but before you know it, your knees are touching the cold water. If you fall inside the water, you know it’s end game. You fight with all you’ve got, only to look back and once again scream petrified. People with pitch black skin and if someone burnt them and bright, glowing eyes pop up here and there, screaming as loud as you, trying to grab you hard and pull you down.

‘  HELP!!! SOMEONE HELP ME! CADY PLEASE HELP ME!’ you scream towards your sister whose unchanging gaze is still nailed on you. 
 Another lightning echoes and flashes. Terror seizes you once again, the moment you look toward your sister desperate for help. In the two tall trees behind her there are two bodies hanging from huge ropes. One of them you recognized it to be the body of your mother, eyes blurred with the shadow of death and her body being perforated with stab wounds and huge bruises. Her face was altered in a mask of pure terror, with her mouth shaped in a silent scream. On the other tree was your father. His face was snowy white and his eyes open and full of silent wondering. Black blood still dripped from his slashed open neck. You screamed loudly once again.

  Cady walked up to you her face cold and void, betraying no emotion.

‘Kill them all _____.’ She says and kicks your hands hard.

 You scream loudly, as the others have a strong hold on you now, pulling you hard with victiorious screams coming out of their hideous mouths. You kick, twist and turn, trying once again to get a hold of something. All in vain. Tears roll down your face, as you feel your belly starting to be submerged too. You can’t even count how many hands are dragging you, you just fight them off with all you had. Someone grabs your hand by the shoulders, trying to pin you down. You scream and fight madly against it, as your fingers fail you once again. You are rapidly being pulled on the water. The fallen leaves shuffle as your hands pass above them. No! You will fight! You won’t go down without a fight! Like a madwoman, you try to fight them off, screaming and kicking the best you could.

‘______’

You fight and scream, now dangerously close to the water.

‘NO! GET AWAY FROM ME! LET ME GO!’ you scream.

‘______!’

‘NOOOOOOOOOOOO!’ 

And your body falls in the cold, dark water.
