• Chapter 6 of The Void


    Hospital room after Annelise asked the question Riley didn't want to hear


    Riley was shocked,hurt,and scared all at the same time. His bestfriend and love of his love wanted to kill herself. Riley always knew she was depressed,but never knew it went this far. Riley opened his mouth to say something when Annelise's parents came in. Annelise's parents were like two mannequins. Neither showing emotion,and perfect in everyway. Riley was suprised when they saw that they cared enough to call the ambulance for Annelise while she was dying. They had made sure not to touch her at all though. Didn't want any blood staining their perfect conscience's. Annelise looked at her two perfect parents. Well,they were perfect on the outside. On the inside Annelise could only guess. Annelise's mom slapped her so hard across the face that it sounded like a firework went off in the room. Riley clenched his fists as if he was going to hit the cold,hard woman who had just slapped his love. Annelise had tears streaming down her cheeks as her mom glared at her. "Don't ever try to kill yourself,"She paused to take a deep breath before continuing,"on my new rug again!" She then turned and left with Annelise's dad following close behind her. Annelise did the only thing she could think to do. She curled up in a tiny ball and rocked herself back and forth. Riley was just standing there,watching her as she rocked herself into an unpeaceful sleep. He hadn't expected much from Annelise's mom,but he knew he had expected more than that. What kind of mother does that to a child? "My mother does,"Annelise replied coldy. Riley hadn't even known that he had asked that out loud. Riley reached out to wipe a tear away when the Void suddenly pushed Annelise back. The Void smacked Riley's hand away and glared at him before smiling a small smile and laying down on the hospital bed,pretending to sleep. Annelise could feel the anger radiating off of the Void. What did you do?,It asked coldly. Annelise felt herself run farther back into her mind as the Void took control once again. Annelise was sent back to her personal Hell of watching her sister's death and the Void was worried. Which was weird all on it's own,for Void's aren't supposed to feel anything. They were empty. Heartless,some might say. All the same it was worried and angry. Annelise had managed to take control for a long time. It couldn't let her do that again,even if it killed them both.
