Insanity

02. Who's there?

"I believe you. Don't worry." Nick comforted her. "Don't tell this to anyone, okay," he added. She nodded and they both eat dinner together. Next day at school, she was sitting at the cafe alone, then a boy came and sit next to her. "Can I sit here?" he asked politely. "You already are," she replied. "Well, how bad of me. I am Theo." he introduced himself. "Hi. Des....." she was interrupted by him saying," Destiny. Yes, I know. You're a popular girl." he winked. "Are you flirting with me? Cuz I have two bodyguards just a call away," she warned him. "Not at all. I was just being friendly." he raised his hands in surrender. "Maybe we could hang out or something." he loved his hand on her thigh. "Do you like forests?" she asked out of the blue. "As long as you're with me." he winked. "Let's go!" she said and walked out and he followed him. She raced the car in full speed and when they reached the forest, he said excited, "So...." "What do you think I brought you here for?" she asked raising a brow. "To have a fun time," he replied. "To finish you." she sweetly replied. "Hah! Really?" he laughed. Suddenly, the wind started blowing fast and all the leaves moving in the wind making a horrible crunching sound. Her hair was blowing from the wind and her eyes were of a blood-red colour. She was looking like some evil from horror movies. "What?" he got scared and his foot got tangled from the woods and he fell down. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

One hour later Nick and Patrick were watching Tv. "Where's Destiny?" asked Nick. "Here." she came in happily holding the shopping bags in her hand. "Homecoming is a week away and your shopping is started." Patrick laughed. "What's with you? I am not wasting your money. Am I?" she asked annoyingly. "Destiny what's with your behaviour?" Nick asked furrowing his brows. "I am pissed!" she shouted and walked upstairs. Neither Nick nor Patrick ran after her because they knew her mood. "Come on, Destiny. We ordered a pizza. Come and eat it before it gets cold." Nick shouted. Few minutes later, she walked down quietly. They were watching tv while eating. There was news playing that a boy was found dead in the forest and his body is being ripped off in half. "God! What is happening in this city?" Destiny said eating the pizza.

Next day she wasn't feeling well so she decided to stay at home. "Are you sure you'll be okay on your own? I mean we'll come late because of the homecoming preparations." Nick said. "Don't worry. Now go," she said. She was alone in the house and her head was aching badly so she went to sleep. After three hours, she woke up gasping. "It was a dream," she said to herself. She went to the bathroom and removed all of her clothes. She was watching herself in the mirror and noticed some bruises on her neck, breasts and body. "Destiny Morgan! Where the hell do you get these bruises?" she talked to herself. Then, she ignored them and walked to the shower. As soon as the hot water hit her body, she felt relaxed and much fresh. Her headache was gone. After twenty minutes of shower, when she came out to the mirror, naked, she noticed the bruises were gone. "What?" she said and checked her whole body in surprised. Suddenly, she heard a noise downstairs. She wrapped a towel and walked down. "Hello?" she said. "Nick are you home?" she shouted. Then, the landline of her home began to ring. She got startled and picked up. "Hello?" she said. "Theo?.... No... I haven't... Okay." she hung up the phone. "What a weird lady! What would her son, Theo do with me?" she talked to herself annoyed. She wore her clothes and walked to the fridge, grabbed a juice and snacks and sit on the couch and watched Tv. Hours passed by, she kept on watching tv, she felt somebody was watching her from a distance. When she turned her face towards the kitchen, nobody was there. "THUD!" she got startled. "What was that?" she murmured. The noise was coming from upstairs. She walked up and checked every corner of the house. When she was going at Patrick's room, she saw the shadow of footsteps from underneath the door. Her brows furrowed in order to understand what is going on. When she opened the door immediately, only the curtain of the window was blowing from the wind, she sighed and turned off the window and curtains and went back downstairs. She poured herself another glass of juice and started watching tv. After she took a sip of it, she kept the glass again at the table and turned her face towards the tv. Then, she again turned her face to pick the glass of juice but it wasn't there. She looked here and there in shocked. Her eyes got fixed on the glass which was at the kitchen counter. She walked and picked up the glass, examined it carefully and drink a sip of it. "Everything is okay," she said and walked back to the table. Then, the plate of chips was missing from there. "Are you kidding me?" she said annoyed. "Nick! Patrick! If you guys are doing this. I swear I will kill you both." she shouted in anger. She got up walked a few steps and turned back to grab the glass of juice but it wasn't there. She walked to the kitchen and saw the plate of chips were kept near the sink and the glass of juice was the plates' shelf in the upper side. "My God!" she sighed. She grabbed a stool and stand in it, suddenly a very loud noise came from t because the serial was playing on it. Her eyes, just for a second, turned away from the glass and when she turned back to see there was nothing there. She quickly moved her eyes towards the plate of chips, were also vanished from there. "Somebody is messing with me." she murmured. The chips and juice were kept on the table where she was sitting before. After an hour, she ordered Chinese and eat it all by herself. Then, she went to her room and took the medicine and lay on the bed. She was using her laptop and reading real-life stories on f******k which was shared by random experience people. "Possession." she raised her brow. After reading a few minutes of the story, her expressions somehow changed into fear. She quickly closed the laptop and put it on the side. "I don't wanna read this s**t," she said. "God I'm bored!" she sighed. She got up from the bed and went to the room which was full of her paintings.

She took out a new canvas and placed it on the stand, wore the earphones and put the music on full volume. She was sitting on the stool and was thinking about what to make. After five minutes of thinking, she started making the painting. After an hour when her painting was almost ready, the black color paint in her palette was finished so she got up and walked to the paint shelf and saw the black colour wasn't there. Suddenly, "THUD!" a voice came from behind, she felt something and turned quickly with removing her earphones and saw the painting was on the floor upside down. "Oh, God! It was wet," she said, ran and grabbed the painting. When she turned her painting back to see whether if it's spoiled or not. As soon as she turned it, she saw the horrific image of something strange in black colour. All of her colourful painting was turned into a horrible looking creature in black. She gasped and threw it from her hand immediately. She got frightened. She picked it up again and saw it was as usual as she made. "Maybe I'm tired of going mad." she thought. "I should get some sleep." she went to her room and went to sleep. After some hours, she woke up and heard some noises. She got up from the bed and went downstairs. "Yeah, man. You should see his face." Nick laughed. "God! I missed the scene." Patrick laughed back. They both had pizza in their hand and were eating and talking and laughing. "What's up, guys?" she walked forward. "Ahhh... Destiny. You woke up. Come on let's watch a movie." said Nick. "Yea tell us what have you done the whole day? Rather than skipping the college." Patrick laughed. "I want to say something." Destiny walked forward and sit next to Nick. "What are you going to say? That you're not going to school tomorrow because your head is aching? Let me tell you tomorrow is Sunday." Patrick said sarcastically. "Ha! Ha! Ha! Very funny." she said in a fake voice. "What is it? Tell me, sister." Nick said concerned. "Uhm.... well. I....I.... there's nothing," she said nervously. "Okay," he replied.

Next day was Sunday, they usually got up late. When Destiny woke up she thought it was late but when she saw the time, it was probably noon. She walked downstairs and started making breakfast. Then, Nick and Patrick woke up. While they were having breakfast, Patrick said." So finally our little girl knows how to make an eatable breakfast." "Patrick shut up," she said annoyed. "Yea. Remember when she used to give us burnt toast in breakfast. Damn it was too hard to eat it." Nick laughed. "Stop it guys. Don't make fun of my toast," she said mischievously. "Alright. We are quiet." Both of them put a finger on their lips. She walked towards the kitchen, wore an apron and a hairband, grabbed a vacuum cleaner and walked back at the dining table. They both saw her with wide-eyed. "What?" she asked. "What are you going to do, Des?" Nick asked. "I'm going to clean the house. " she proudly said. "Oh please, don't. The white walls of this house will turn messy and dirty." Patrick laughed. "And you'll die sneezing from the dust," Nick said. "Leave it, Des. It's not your type." laughed both of them. "Seriously guys! Enough with the jokes," she said annoyed and handed them a piece of paper. "What's that?" Nick asked. "List of the grocery things. Go and buy all of it." She ordered him. "Okay, fine," he said and took it. When he was about to pick the car keys from the table, Destiny quickly grabbed them and said," No car. Go by walk!" "What? Really?" Nick furrowed his brows. "Great. Go buy all of these things. I'll watch tv in the air conditioner." Patrick said relaxing. "Get up." Destiny pointed finger towards him. He immediately stood up. "You both are going," she ordered. She dragged them out of the house and slammed the door at their face. "Woah! Did I ever mention how feisty is your little sister?" Patrick said raising a brow. "Did I ever mention that this feisty girl is your soon to be a wife?" Nick said raising a brow. "Such a spoiled brat!" Patrick said and they both walked. Destiny was cleaning the whole house, from dusting to brooming, from sweeping to washing. She was cleaning the shelf by putting all the books out, cleaned it then placed them again. A plate fell from the kitchen shelf. She got startled and immediately moved her face towards it. Then in front of her eyes, one by one plate began to fall from the shelf. "What?" she said startled. She was so scared of watching all of it happening. She was going back slowly and scared. Just then, the main gate opened, Nick and Patrick came in. She turned her face terrified without saying a word. "Destiny." They both left the shopping bags and ran to her.
