I open my eyes. It’s still dark out. I lay still on my bed, longing for the light. “Hello.” , a small voice said within my head. “It’s been a while.” I answered back. A scream in the distance. It’s only a scream. Nothing more. Nothing special. Nothing new. The same day after day. I lay back down. My door slowly creaks open. It’s her again!!! I sink deeper into my covers. Shivering in fear. What now? Is she finally going to kill us? Small footsteps across the floor. A faint slidding noise. What is that? There's a rotting smell. Disgusting. I can't breath!!! Slowly I begin to turn around and I begin to hear a deep breathing. She's breathing over me. She's looking down on me. I want to scream. No one will hear. Run. My legs are broken. There's suddenly a thump noise. She's runs out of the room. The door once again opens. "you..." My mother's voice is silent. I breathe in deeply. She's just standing there. What wrong now!!?! I turn over to look. My heart nearly stops. There...one the floor, lies the corps of what seems to be a half eaten cat. Should I tell her the truth? No. They'll send me away again. But that girl she'll come back!!! "It was Kathrine." My mom's face turns pale once more. "Never speek that name again. You seem tired. Go back to sleep.
