I slowly opened my eyes and blinked as my eyes tried to adjust to the bright light streaming through my thing curtains. I could hear muffled voices coming from behind my door, one sounded like my mums and the other I didn’t recognise. I stretched painfully and pulled back the covers, I ached all over for some strange reason. I slowly sat up and padded to the door, as I got closer I recognised the voice of my doctor and frowned. What was he doing here; mum had been checked up a week before.
I pressed my ear against the door and listened.
“She’s been doing this for weeks; I don’t know what to do! I locked her in her room and she climbed out of the window and managed not to break anything! We’re two storeys up! No one could jump out of a window and not get at least a scratch on them!” I heard my mum hiss; I could imagine her waving her arms around in frustration.
“Calm down, Mary. She’s fine, I’ll come around again tomorrow for another check up on her. I’m not sure what is happening to her but I assure you’ll I’ll try my best to find out.” I heard Doctor Cook say softly before I heard his footsteps thump down the stairs and the door click shut. My mum sighed and I felt a pang of sadness, she was already stressed about the cancer and now she was worrying about me.
I closed my eyes and leant back heavily against the door as I heard my mum’s footsteps retreat to her room as she went to bed. What was wrong with me? If only I knew... You have to leave. My eyes widened as I heard a musical voice in my head. What the hell was happening to me? I shook my head to try and clear the fog that was beginning to cloud it. You have to leave; you’re a danger to them all. No! I shook my head again, more vigorously this time, the fog still didn’t clear. I felt myself grow dizzy and my vision clouded, the room was swaying slightly. No, I can’t. I won’t let it get me again! I screwed my eyes shut and tried to put up a barrier between myself and the strange fog, it failed and darkness consumed me.
