Annabelle’s Diary

Chapter 3

Laughter. Muffled voices.

It all felt familiar… and yet completely strange.

How did she get here?

One minute, she was in her sister’s room. The next—

Anastasia scanned her surroundings.

It was clearly a high school corridor… but which one?

And why was she here?

Different people dressed in high-school uniforms walked around giggling or doing one thing or the other but strangly enough no one seemed to notice her ,the somewhat strange barefoot girl in a pajamas , she looked so out of place , som.....

"Ah" a slight wimper escaped her mouth

Th..that girl just passed through her ,she turned back in a swift motion and reached out her hand ready to follow her as if to confirm what just happened , her legs moved voluntarily as if wanting to prove that it was a figment of her imagination... pause , her legs suddenly came to a halt , the walls seemed to close in on her and she could hear bells go off in her ears as she stared at the person walking towards her "annabelle " she whispered as if afraid of waking up from a sweet dream

Annabelle walked towards her with a huge smile on her face , her eyes full of the life that she had lost . Anatasia's ears zoned out the background noise enhancing the step-by-step sound Annabelle’s shoes made. The shoes,those were the same shoes she had gotten for her as a gift . " how's this pos..." *woosh* same thing happened again, just like the previous girl her sister had just walked through her as if she was not there.. but she was she was standing right there as chills seem to run down her spine .

" did you see that girl she looks so damn good.”" she was pulled out of her thoughts by those words .she looked at where the sound came from and saw three guys standing by a locker they seemed to be talking about annabelle strange thing is she couldn't see their faces clearly , it looked... blured. Her eyes trailed around just to notice that everyones face was like that except... annabelle. right annabelle, she turned around ready to follow behind her sister when she heard those words

" she looks so innocent and full of life ... i choose her , i just love seeing innocent girls break down " one of the guys say and she felt something unsettle in her stomach " i know right , she looks so fun to play with " another one say and she felt her fists clench , how dare they talk about her sister like she was some type of object. Anger filled her and she wanted nothing other than to punch them in the face , of course she tried but her hands just kept going through their faces.

Her blood continued boiling until she heard what the third guy said " why don't you just keep a low profile for now after all someone committed suicide cause of you" Bells started ringing in her ears, something crazy was going on

"Ohh pleaseeee it's not like I pushed her, don't pin this on me " the first guy said in such a nonchalant tone, as if he couldn't care less

Her mind traveled to different places as different thoughts began to occupy her mind, is he the reason Annabelle committed suicide?, what exactly happend?, how....., she was snapped back to reality when she saw the guys walk towards the place Annabelle went to, she rushed to follow behind but by the time she got there the guys were already talking to Annabelle while she was laughing and giggling, she rushed over to their side and the first thing she heard was "i'm having a party this weekend, it's just like a back to school party and I'd like it if you could be there" , an unsettling feeling instantly rose within her, she looked at her sister and noticed that she was also not comfortable with the idea "come on i promise it's gonna be fun, besides everyone is gonna be there" the guy said again probably cause he noticed her uncomfortable expression "don't, please don't Anna please" she whispered in a shaky voice really hoping that she could hear her or something but her hopes shattered when she heard her say "ok, I'll be there" "No, you can't, please don't, they aren't good people anna please " she yelled but still.. no reaction, her body began to shake and when she looked down at her hands she saw them fading, what's going on...

*Gasp* Her head hurt as she struggled to adjust her eyes to the light, she looked around and noticed that she was in her room, her parents stood with their backs facing her and it seemed like they were on a call. "What's going on?" Her voice sounded husky, "oh darling you're finally awake" her mum said with tears in her eyes as she tried to hold her hand but she instinctively pulled back "we found you unconscious on the floor of Anna’s room, what's going on?" Her dad said but she didn’t miss the hurt look on her mum's face, she looked away from them and muttered under her breath "What is going on".
