The Beginning Of The End (Part 1) PART 1 As the golden sun slipped beneath the horizon, I began to feel like it was the start of something big. Something new. But most of all, something dangerous. I left my hiding place, my cave, and climbed up the winding dusty path of which led to my home. Home. Just the mention of that word made my spine tingle with excitement. I sped up my step, wanting to get there sooner. Faster. Breathing quickening, I took step after step, anticipation building up inside me like a scream wanting to come out. I was always the clumsy type. Tripping over things, making silly mistakes. Today was my 13th birthday and all of my family were waiting for me... Ah! I feel a searing pain burning through my foot, and the next moment, I'm falling over, tripping up on a rock and falling over the edge of the path. I black out. I had no idea of how long. But all I know is that I'm 13 now... And my family don't even no where I am. The next thing I feel is loneliness. Darkness surrounding me. Making me feel trapped and scared of my own imagination building up thoughts and made up images of all the things that could happen and might happen to me in the next few minutes, all flashing before my own eyes... Something starts bringing me back... I feel like I'm being lifted from my resting place. I'm scared. I'm worried. But most of all, I'm willing to find out who this is. No matter what. To be continued...

Fears "Wait!" I cried running after her. "Don't leave me!" I pleaded desperately. I kept running and running, but she just kept inching away... I woke. It was just a dream, I told my self. All a dream. The room around me was pitch black so I couldn't see a thing. I was lying on something soft, a mattress I told myself, and my head was resting on something that was comfy, and warm from where I had been lying. I swung my legs off the side and felt the fluffy carpet beneath my feet and began to walk. I put my arms out in front of me, feeling my way in the darkness. I quickly come to a hard solid wall and slid my hands along it. A window? Then I felt the curtains. I swiped them open and a blaze of sunlight filled the room. Then I realised, everything around me was white, even the mattress, the pillow, the carpet, the walls and the curtains. Then I also realised that the whole room was so clean, that it gave you the feeling that you shouldn't be there, that it's only for show, that it hasn't been touched in years. That's when I heard the footsteps. Then came the sound of a key turning in a lock, and a door that I had never even noticed swung open. There was no one in the doorway. But that didn't mean no one was there. I then heard the whispers that changed my #life forever. "Can she see us?" Came a voice, "No you idiot, she can't even hear us." Came another. "I can hear you... Where ever you are," I said "So does she know?" The first voice asked. "Know what?" I said. "I don't think she does... Should we tell her now, or let her find out for herself?" The second voice replied. "Let me know what?!" I'm almost shouting now, but they still don't seem to notice that I am in their presence. "Calm yourself, you will learn all in good time." Came the first voice again, but was that directed at me, or their companion? Then the second one said "Hey, if I was her, I would want to know if my death was in the next two hours." At that very moment, I ran out of the door, down a set of stairs and into the open air. Where am I? Why am I here? A voice then tells me, taking my arm "It's time," and before I could argue, I was being whisked away down a long corridor and into a dark room. I was sat down on a chair and a dull light was flicked on. I had to squint to be able to see. That's when the tears came. I couldn't help it. And then the door closed, locking me inside, trapping me and my thoughts alone. Then, something happened. Someone else had entered. Then they spoke. "I'm here to take you home."

Be Me My heart. It aches. My fingers. They shake. My lips. They freeze. Your changed. With ease. My legs. They walk. You will. Just stalk. I can't. Forget. What you. Made it. I can't. Stop you. You will. Just do. So let. Me be. Myself. Be me.

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. As I sit alone, The clock ticking, The soulless groan, Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. The noise getting louder, The sound like death itself, It seemed to get prouder, Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. I think of all the things, That this noise reminds me of, And one is people dying like snapping strings, Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. I can bear it no longer, The presence of this beat, The ticking getting stronger, Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Now it has come to me, death, I am not scared, For now I will rest, Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.

When Love Disappears Show me the way, Help me through, All the corners and all the turns, Because to me their new. You know what I mean, You know what I think, You know how to make me smile, You just stare not blink. I know your secret, I know you love me, I know you want to hug me, And it's so easy to see. But it isn't a bad thing, At least that's what I'd say, It just shows your true passion, In your own special way. Please say your alright, For the dawn will come, You will be whisked away, And dissolved into the sun...
