8 June 2012
I opened my eyes to find myself in pitch black. A cold breeze touched my skin again as I glanced around. Then I heard something being switched on. A television. I walked over, the television at the moment not broadcasting everything. Until I was in front of it.
The television showed a dark scene. A forest. Owls hooting. Then Rhett was walking down the path. Smiling. Whistling. Seeing it formed tears that streamed down my cheeks. "Tomorrow," he began. "I'll tell her I love her. How I feel!" he beamed. My heart broke. He loved me. He was so happy.
The bush then rustled. I became more alert and ignored the pain in my chest, staring at the television. Rhett turned. "Who's there?" he called out. There was a dark figure. And a glistening silver object. "What.. What are you.. NO!" yelled Rhett. The screen then turned to the fuzzy kind when there's no connection, but I could still hear it. Rhett'd cries of help. Of pain. Of torture. I started crying more. "Rhett.." I whispered. The sounds then stopped. Slowly, I looked at the television. My eyes widened in horror. Frank was there. Smiling like a maniac. Blood on his face. He then laughed. "Now no one can have her!" he yelled.
Frank lied. He's been lying all along. He knew I loved Rhett. And he told everyone Rhett died mysteriously. Not by him. He lied.. All this time.
"Scarlet.." I heard a voice whisper. Then I turned. A white figure stood. He smiled. He opened his arms. "RHETT!" I cried as I ran to the figure.
But then I opened my eyes. I was hugging a chair. Then I turned. Frank stood there. Still. Staring at me. "He told you, didn't he..?" he said. I said nothing. He still stated at me. Then I whispered. "You lied.."
When I said that he slammed his hand on the table. "SHUT UP YOU IDIOT!" he yelled as he hit me across the face. I fell to the floor crying. Then I opened my eyes again. Frank stood over me. Holding something silver. A knife. Still stained crimson. Blood stained. I started trembling with fear. "If I kill you.. No one can have you!" I closed my eyes shut as I felt a piercing pain in my chest. Mental laughter lingered in my ears. My body went numb. Went limp. My eyes rolled back. My head fell.
...
Stretching, I woke up from my sleep. As usual the birds sang cheerfully. I got up and got changed. Then I walked outside and looked around. No one around. Then I heard a voice. A figure walked towards me. He had dark hair, forest green eyes and covered in bandages. Frowning, he pulled me into a hug. "He lied to you, didn't he?"
