Whispers in The Woods

That was the first of many more encounters amber endured with the shadow figures, no one else saw them nor could help prove that they were all in her head. It's now been a month since Amber first came to live with her grandparents and each and every day the shadow got more and more annoying now whispering in her ears and causing objects to be knocked over or go missing. But the last straw to break the camels back was one morning, Amber was walking down the hall and saw a figure just standing at the end of the hall staring out the window, but unlike the other it wasn't trying to get her attention but before she could do anything the figure smashed the window and jumped out. Amber rushed to the window to see the figure standing by the tree line, it look at her and dissipated into the woods. Amber was drawn to fallow the figure, she ran down the stairs and out the door til she reached the tree line. She started walking the woods to heading in the direction of where she last saw the figure and as soon as she started to get lost she heard whispering beckoning her in the directions of the voices, with every step they became louder and more insulting filling every step Amber took with more and more rage.

"she the one, the cause of her parents death?" one voice stated harshly

"it wasn't an accident she enjoyed killing them!" sneered a different voice

"look at her now, i bet you she gonna kill her sweet grand parents now." another chuckled

Amber was now shaking with anger snapped a the voices now running towards them, "s-shut up your not r-real."

"awww how cute you now talk to your self." said a familiar voice. "So much for making sure you don't black out hmmm."

"y-you why are you here?" Amber said with frustration and confusion as she tried to find the voices. "i'm busy with something more important than you."

" oh silly, did you forget were one" he said now appearing in front of her. "i'm the most important thing here."

" so this is what you really look like," amber said looking the figure from head to toe. It was a slim figure dressed in a black suit with tails and pale white face, but those were the only human like features. It had no neck or arms, it's hands were just white gloves and the head just floated with hair like tar dripping down its face, and those eyes they had no color just all pupil and it teeth were jagged to a point like saws when it smiled.

"well yes more or less," it said triumphantly "not my true form but fairly close, but thanks to your rage towards these voices i have gotten stronger to the point where i can finally touch you now." it boasted while running his hand down her cheek. "soon i can be fully free and make this world a new."

"what do you mean image?" amber questioned backing away anger now changing into fear.

"oh amber you should know best," it said grinning "your the one who has seen it first hand." It said transforming into a mirror reflecting an image of Amber covered in blood and her two parents corpse lying at her feet.

"no you don't mean" she choked on the words as the thought of saying them would cause her to relive the horror.

"why yes i do mean that fateful day when you and i meet" it said now appearing behind her whispering in her ear, "why don't we go back to that day." it said now surrounding them both in a pitch black darkness.

Amber was then hit by a warm summer breeze and the glow of the suns rays on her face. she looked around to see her old house and a little girl running around out side.

"awww your so cute back then" it whispered to her "cute and stupid,"

Amber sat silently and watched as the memory played out, trying her best to ignore the shadow and its snarky insults. She saw her former self run down the forest path and wish she could stop her for only if she knew what lied down the path would ruin her life. As little amber ran down the path she stopped half way down and looked to her left then to her right before she drew a locket out of her pocket and laid it on a rock in the middle of the path. raising her fathers hammer she took she slammed it down onto the locket smashing it open, in a big cloud of black and purple smoke a figured appeared from the locket and thanked little amber for freeing them and was willing to repay the favor by getting back at those who have done her wrong. Not knowing the down side little amber agreed and shook the figures hand and with another could of smoke it disappeared but left a mark on Amber's left shoulder, an eye to be exact. Latter that day at dusk amber was playing on-top of the hill near there house when she hear her parents fighting from below, then with a loud smash she saw her father head out the back door and was heading toward her fuming while her mother tried to stop him. Scared amber tried to run but she tripped over a root sticking out of the ground, now it was too lat her father was here and reeked of beer and held a bottle in his hand about to raise it to hit amber, but something snapped in amber her eyes glowed purple and she stood up and walked towards her father and mother.

" a-amber you better s-stop moving so i can hit ya " her father spoke waver and tried to take a step back but fell and dropped the bottle

Upon falling amber took the opportunity to pounce on-top of her father and started to violently stab him in his eyes with the bottle. His cries for help only fueled her anger she wanted this bastard dead so she grabbed a piece of broken glass and started to cut his tongue. half way through cutting his tongue Amber's mother grabbed her and held her trying to calm amber down. In response Amber took the glass shard and jabbed it into her mothers neck shoving it deep inside before wiggling out of her mothers grasp. As her mother fell to her knees spurting blood out of her mouth Amber took not time and went back over to the father and took the rest of the bottle and shoved it in his mouth before slamming his jaw shut. In doing so the bottle rip and tore into his mouth shards of glass poking out of his cheeks. Amber then grabbed her fathers Multi-tool took out the mini saw and shoved deep into his chest screaming "NOW WHERES YOUR HEAT FATHER WHERE IS IT" cutting out a hole in his chest.Her eyes faded back to normal as her rage subsided and she then realized what she had done she started crying. Watching this all over again amber whipped her head to face the figure and snarled at it,

"why show me this hmm, is this your plan to murder all who piss me off." She shouted at it in disgust

" hmmm well ya see i only can act out when your pissed but soon i can control your body and then rid this planet of all who doubt to fallow me," he stated blankly "and there is nothing you can do about it."

"oh yea," she declared standing up now facing him "well if you need my body to complete your goal." she stated pulling a pair of scissors from her pocket. "then i will just rid myself from your plan."

"awe you dumb little bitch," he chuckled grabbing her hand and yanking the scissors out "I've waited to long to have it all go to waste cause some little bitch wants to kill her self."

"if i cant die then what about you." she screamed as she pinned it down and started to choke it.

Laughing could be heard by the voice from behind her and when she stopped to look she noticed to her horror that she was choking her grand mother. she released her grasp and stepped away in fear.

"see your nothing but a monster," he whispered "you even hurt your own grand mother."

"n-no you made m-me," she stuttered before collapsing to the ground still shocked. "i-i didn't m-mean to." she whispers to herself.
