heart beat
before i went to my new school Pine ville high school I was putting on my school uniform. I walked to the restroom and I saw my reflection inside the minor, I then said I look weird I don't match in uniforms like this. It's part of school policy I'm going to catch the bus with Lucy which my so called new friend I hope she's my friend.
I walked downstairs I saw my dad (wolf) "Oh good morning tempie we are still unpacking but you need to go to school". Dad can I stay home and help you guys?" No you have to go to school to get an education". But dad I don't wanna I said.
He hesitated and said go to school. "I know everyone says the first day you will meet new people nice people make new friends". I sighed and said ok then dad I'll go to school. My dad gave me a binder. So I put my diary in my binder and unzipped my bag and put it in.
"Oh the bus is coming my father says". Oh I said I walked out and a little scared to go on I saw alot of kids looking at me and didn't say anything. A seat was empty in the middle row and I put on my earbuds I felt like I was being watched by everyone. I can tell they are saying who is she she looks funny. I sighed I'm a normal girl. I sat there thinking about my father. I thought that my father was getting frustrated about me or something. I wonder what he was so worried about.
I felt my seat get heavy. I saw a boy sitting by me. I looked out the window but the kid taped on my shoulder. I took off my earbuds and he said hi. "Hi I don't think I ever saw you yet before are you new?"
I was a bit shy talking to people but I hesitated and said yes I moved here yesterday but I started school today, or something. Which was a surprise I thought I was going to start school next week or two. "He said are your parents strict?" Yeah just a bit I said.
"which school do you go too? are you a high school student? "well yes I said I am a high school student, and I go to pine Billie, you? "well I go to Forest Hill, and yes I am a high school student also. "well as much as I loved to talk to you i have to go to school now, I hope we can talk again soon! I nodded at him then I looked back outside the window. after 10 mins later. we've got to my school also . Now I'm here I don't know what to do. Don't be shy tempest I told myself. lucy greeted me with a huge smile. she walked towards me. "hey tempest! "
"Meet my friends she pure pressured me to meet her group of friends". I looked at them and there was four girls. Lucy pointed out "This is Yin. Yin had short hair with glasses. Then she pointed at the next friend and said this is Harley. She had short hair. It was black. She's shorter than me then Lucy says finally this is Baby." Wait I said is your name actually baby?
" She looked at me pissed yes of course it's baby!" I said ok then.
She had blonde hair she looked really pretty. Just call me Bee she said my friends can only call me baby and you aren't my friend so you don't have any rights to call me that only bee got that she said while pointing her finger at me.
Lucy says geez baby calm down. this so called bee rolled her eyes and says I'm leaving. She left and I said what's her problem. I don't know she's just like that. They started talking and I was quiet Yin looked at me with an emotionless face where did you live? Oh I live next door to Lucy. Oh yea I was showing her around Lucy said with a smile.
Yin says oh ok then I was just curious. Harley says that's amazing! I wish I could live there but it's just me and my dad living in town not far from here. We left and sat down the school bell rang. And Lucy showed me around and went to history class. Alright tempest I don't have any classes with you. She gave me a smile and ran off. I went inside and sat at the last row. Hello class you can call me Mr. Stein. He started writing on the board and he said today we will be introducing ourselves. And everyone introduce themselves it was my turn. My name is. Then the teacher interrupted me he told me to stand up. So I had to stand up . My name is tempest my voice was sort of cracking Because I'm shy I stuttered a couple of times. I like art and I like other stuff.
The teacher said this isn't art class this is history. History can teach us many things it keeps the world together and we learn those mistakes. He started writing on the board. OK open your history it's on the shelves. I noticed Bee I tried talking to her but she says oh hi I don't think we ever met. I said But we just did and she cut me off saying no we didn't she said. What's wrong with this girl I thought. and I said I introduced myself already no you didn't she said I just said nevermind and grabbed my book and sat down.
30 minutes past
Ok he clapped and said put your history books away. No one talked to me sadly I heard people talking about me. They said what a weirdo she is not attractive. I just looked away.
A few hours passed.
I started wondering to myself and I saw the black figure saw him walking. A teacher snapped me out of it pay attention. I looked outside again but he was gone. So I looked at the board. I wondered where that guy went.
Hours passed and it's almost school over.
I saw bee again laughing with a group of girls talking about boys. I took out my sketch book and started drawing the scenery. I started doodling a girl walked up to me. A girl said that's nice. Her name was star. Hello my name is star I said hi back and introduced myself. She said I am a artist she then looked at the paper with curiosity. She saw the art with the monster I grabbed it and said this is nothing it's just nevermind. Star said ok then I can show you some of my art. I started looking through it saw some anime.
We had a long chat about video games and art. School is over and star says see you later. Lucy waved at me and said isn't that your dad. We started walking towards him and he said HELLO TEMPIE. DAD shh don't call me that. Oh sorry he said. She didn't beat up anyone did she.
No Lucy said no she started to giggle. Ok wolf I got to get to my bus she smiled and runs back to her bus. Ok tempie already to take a hike my father said. I heard roamers the Mountains here are great. By the way I told you mother already also How's your foot? I don't want to pressure you to walk. Oh it's fine I said. He started driving to the mountains and my dad said want any food. No I want mom's cooking I laughed oh right my dad said. Ready for some hiking? My dad was wearing a backpack.
We got into the vehicle driving to the mountains.
We started walking up the hill he said the scenery is beautiful. I wonder how my dad was when he was younger. Uhm dad how were you when you were younger at my age.
My dad said well I was not really a guy person he said when I younger at your age. I wasn't really a good kid I was a disappointment to my parents he stopped and looked down the hill. I wasn't a good kid my parents yelled at me my dad says. Dad can you tell me something that you did that was bad?. Sure I remember when I was younger I was in a gang a enforcer. An enforcer is a person that does duty work for your crew.
He stated. Later on I met your mother she became my whole life for once my life all those women I dated I found her I said this girl was really special I had to make her mines by meaning stop doing things like not being apart of a gang. They called me a coward and a sellout. He said. My dad pulled his sleeve down and a tattoo was a gang sign. This was a symbol we used and sadly I didn't get it removed yet. When a man gets a woman he will leave anything to get her in your life you have to leave things to become a better person. You have to make sacrifices.
He chuckled and said let's continue walking. I thought that my dad was a good man I never thought he was bad. My father took out a sketch book and started painting he has a lot of art supplies. He started drawing.
How about you join me my father says I left my sketch book and we started drawing he gave me a paper. The white rabbit was here again I got space out. The rabbit was looking into my soul. My dad tapped on my shoulder and I twitched. What was that? Oh sorry haha. After an hour passed we finished drawing and he started packing his stuff up.
Then we left we got back into the vehicle I connected my aux cord diring home I looked at the window and started to wonder again. He was driving he got road rage and stopped because someone cut him off FUCK YOU he said to the person. I looked at my dad and laugh what was that? I swear to God people like him are reason why people die he said. I laughed at him.
We got back and we got out. Hopefully your mom is done cooking. Tempie you didn't tell me about your school anyways but it's ok you can tell me inside he said. Don't tell your mom that I told you about my past she doesn't like it. She told me not to mention to you I thought you were old enough to understand. He took out his backpack. And he announced himself home. IM HOME! My mom says I'm done cooking and my dad said ah good I do love perfect timing he said then he dropped all his stuff walking to the dinner room. We then started eating. This is Soo good.
I was eating too.
15 mins passed.
We got done eating. Tempest how was school today? Well it was ok I guess I met two people today star and yin, Harley,baby. Wait baby never heard of a name like that before. He said. Dad I don't think bEe likes me I started stabing my food. My dad said well that happens you make enemies everyday it's not new but don't worry don't talk to them just annoyed them you'll be the bigger man than them.
Ok dad I got to do my homework sadly. Oh we unpacked your room we just brought your furniture in. Your the best mom and dad. I walked up the stairs. I got inside my room sat down and started doing my homework.
I got tired I fell asleep on my desk.
Dream sequence.
I was inside a hallway I heard a woman screaming. I started walking to the screams two big doors as I got closer the screaming got louder and louder. I opened the door and saw a table with blood on it everywhere spattered everywhere I saw the color red. I looked around and saw a baby. It had no eyes the eyes was gone a dead baby it was still crying I got scared and backed off I saw the two doors gone and saw a wild fire in the forest where I was at.
I heard screams everywhere I saw the monster bend over I saw its teeth open up and roared at me. I got scared and started running off. I saw the monster in front of me and I got scared. Everywhere I turn I saw it there. There's nothing I can do my heart started beating in my chest I turned around and saw him in front of my face he was 8 ft tall. His drool was falling in my face I screamed and covered my face. The monster said why so scared in a demonic voice. You think you can get rid of me that easy because I am the only one that can help you. I slowly started backing up on the ground. The monster said I can show you he leaned forward. I turned around and we were in the hospital.
Look at the lifeless baby that poor thing never got a chance to be born. Not everyone can survive in the world it's killed or be killed he yelled and said ITS YOU OR THE BABY!!
I saw a knife in my hand. I looked at the baby. I stabbed myself instead I ripped my skin off and I started ripping out my insides I felt sharp pain I got weak and fell to the ground. He said you are weak then I heard a scream from the baby I saw him killed the baby. The monster looked at me and said we aren't done yet. It's time for you to wake up.
I woke up scared. Opened my sketch book and going to draw but something was being drawn it was a Forest and a rabbit. I got scared and dropped it. The writing said I'll be waiting. I heard glass shattered downstairs I heard my mom yelled so did my dad. I walked down the hallway. YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT US!! NOT YOURSELF SHE SAID TEARFULLY I TRIED OK!! My father said I AM TRYING REALLY HARD!!! It's not that easy he said. Go tell them your done. I did I tried already my dad said. I got downstairs and said what's going on?.. My mom walks passed me. My dad said I wanted a boy. It should have been my boy that lived. Dad what are you saying I said. It should have been my boy that lived not you he said. I felt tears go down my face and ran into the Forest. I ran as far as I could I felt angry Because I couldn't see correctly I had a tantrum.
(WARNING THIS SCENE INCLUDES GORE AND ETC SO PLEASE PROCEED WITH CAUTIONS IF YOU ARE NOT FRIENDLY TO GORE DON'T READ AHEAD)
I throw a rock and heard something crack. I wondered what it was. So I walked towards the sound I saw a white rabbit hurt badly. I said poor little guy I didn't mean to hit you. I don't know what to do. I thought to myself should I kill him and let him lay there. All of sudden I felt a strange feeling to kill him.
I walked off to get a big rock I found one and picked it up. I walked back to the rabbit and said sorry this is the only way.. I dropped the rock on the rabbit the blood went everywhere and I saw color. I looked down at my hands and I was shocked what's this?.. it's color! I grabbed the rock and threw it over and the rabbit was flat.
The color was green and purple. I looked at my hands shaking my vision was getting a blur then I slowly smiled my smile turned into a grin I laughed a bit
THIS IS COLOR???! I repeated after myself OPEN UP YOUR EYES THE COLOR IS INSIDE!! I opened up the rabbit even more and taking out his insides and saw his bones. I slowly started laughing this is color I grabbed my face and looked at the sky it was red. I started laughing historically. YESSSS FINALLY AT LAST THE COLORS ARE INSIDE THATS WHAT HE MEANT!!! I was happy
HEARTBEAT
I started laughing more and more the sky turned more red. I wanted to see more. I got up and walked trying to calm myself down but I was just excited to see color. I walked back to my house I was calm. My vision was black and white but the colors were Popping out. I opened up the door my dad looked at me with a shocked look he said honey what happened why are you colored in blood he hugged me still then started to cry I'm sorry I was angry he hugged me tight. I felt emotionless. My dad said let's get you cleaned up.
He started wiping my hands cleaning me up. After I got cleaned up and layed down on my bed looking at the ceiling. I felt so emotionless for some reason and I thought about the rabbit it made me smile I wanted to see blood again.. because it was beautiful..
