STRANGLED DREAMS EPISODE 2 – Missing pen
While we all went to our classes my heart was busy pounding so fast especially as Kennedy kept staring at me, in a suspicious way.
***************
After school, I quickly packed my stuffs, trying my best to avoid meeting with Kennedy. I wasn’t ready for any kind of questionings.
When I got home my parents who were already furious about me not sleeping at home last night thundered at me with a loud voice.
I was so silent unlike before. My kid bro who observed everything from the dinning came to sympathize with me after my parents left me.
I managed to eat very little that evening. I didn’t eat much due to how scared I was. The memory of how Jessica died by my side kept running through my mind.
It was the first time I’ve ever seen a dead body, not to even talk of being the mu*derer . The food was tasteless on my tongue but I forcefully swallowed it.
Around twelve in the midnight in my sleep a heavy cold wind blow into my room through my opened windows. I could hear the sounds of trees cracking as the result of the wind.
I quickly stood up and went ahead to go ensure the parlour windows where properly locked. As soon as I stepped outside of my room, I noticed everything went silent.
I quietly, then, walked to the parlour, ensuring I made no sound so as to not wake anybody. On getting to the parlour I stared outside through one of the opened windows and noticed every where was quite.
I observed for a while before returning back to my room. As soon as I laid down to sleep, the wind began again. I picked up my pillow and blocked my ears.
However, blocking my ears wasn’t enough because the wind grew too great that It broke the window’s glass. I was so scared that I ran out of the room.
I walked towards my parents room which was slightly left open. I peeped through and saw that they were making out as a couple.
I didn’t want to trouble them so I went to my younger brothers room. I asked him to adjust for me, which he did.
Everything was normal in his room, which left me wondering what was going on in my room. I was still lost in thoughts when I noticed the bulb in my younger brothers room was changing colours.
It was a white bulb, but gradually it transformed into a yellow bulb, then it further transformed into a red bulb.
My heart was pounding and I was about calling my junior brother, who was sleeping innocently like a baby, when I noticed blood dripping from the bulb.
I got scared and covered my face with a pillow. The next thing I knew, I was in a dream strangling my junior brother. He he repeatedly say ” return that which you took”. He said these words repeatedly until he had no breath left in him.
I woke up from the dream sweating profusely. The bulb was white again but bloods where still dripping, so I called my brother to get up so we can leave the room but my brother didn’t respond to my calls.
