The Monsters Inside
Chapter one :
Fireflies in the dark.
Part one.
I woke up to my mother
screaming. For a fraction of a second, I thought she saw it,
but then I remembered she couldn't see what wasn't real. The
things I could see, the monsters. All the same, she was still
screaming, so I got up out of bed to see what was
happening.
It was a spider, just a small spider. A spider that was no
bigger than the nail on my pinky finger. Understandable, as
most people fear spiders more than they fear
death. Idiotic, I would say if you asked me. But no
one really did ask me.
"Genevieve, kill it!" my mother screamed on.
I sighed, and picked up the spider. I put it on the
windowstill to let him run free into the wild. Innocents should
never be murdered.
"Mom, calm down," I said, because she was still in
the opposite corner freaking out, "It's gone. You can get
off the chair."
She looked around, as if to make sure I wasn't about
to play a trick on her. When she thought it was safe enough,
she stepped down.
"I hate spiders," she shuddered with a whine.
"I know," I comforted her, "but you like this house. And
everything has a flaw."
To be honest, it was my fault we had to move. The things I
saw, they appeared when I was very young. At first my
parents had assumed it was my imagination, I was
young after all. As I got older, they didn't go away.
Then, the doctors came into play. Schizophrenia,
CBS, Psychosis. Diseases they claimed I
had. It was always knew with a different doctor. A new
medication that I got put on. Then the doctors would say
that they didn't know what I had, that they could not help,
that I was a lost cause. We kept traveling to find a new
doctor, but this time the move was her idea. My mom thought a
new place would be good for me. She thought the mosters I saw
would stop.
I still saw them. In fact, one was in my kitchen right now. I
ignored it like I trained myself to. Let the doctors
think that the medication was working, and maybe they would
take me off it.
"Maybe I should call someone to see if we can get
something done about them," My mom said, bringing me back into
reality. Or at least what could pass for it.
I smiled, "You should."
She smiled back, her green eyes that looked just like mine
sparkled. "I think I will." She walked away.
I sighed. It was just like my mother to think she could solve
everything, but some things can't be fixed. Some things
are just not meant to be solved. I ran a hand through my sandy-
brown hair and looked around.
The house was absolutly gorgeous. It
was open, my mom's dream house. Our house was made of
wood, and the marble kitchen was stunning. The kitchen itself
had five windows, three of which showed the forest. One of
the windows had the insideous spider on the ledge, waiting to
sneak back into the house.
I was homeschooled, and I had tutors come for me. Most
days I was able to do what I pleased. There was a place in
the forest, that had a lake. That's where I went most
of the time.
It was spring, with a hint of summer in the air. As I
walked down the path, I saw the trees getting greener, the
flowers coming out of the ground, and the little animals
running about. The amphibians just sat there. The birds were
chirping. The walk was always amazing.
If the walk was amazing, that was nothing to to lake
waters. Sometimes they just seemed endless. Depending on
the sun, they could look blue to green to clear. Today the
water was bright blue, so I sat down in the sand to stare
at the waves.
"Hey!" someone shouted, 15 minutes later.
Just ignore it, I thought to myself. I kept staring at the
water, trying to return to that peaceful place I'de been a
moment ago.
"Hello," the voice said, coming closer. "I'm talking to
you."
My perfect moment was ruined, and I was alone. "What!?" I
snapped, looking up. Talking to hallucinations was not a
good sign.
I saw a male, with hazel eyes with specs of
sliver, and dark brown hair. He would have been cute, if
he didn't have clear wings. And if he was
real.
