My eyes landed on what I at first thought was my date.
On second look though my intestines dropped.
That thing standing in front of me was similar to the girl I was expecting but her normally emerald green eyes bad been devoured by a bright yellow hue. Upon a third glance I saw her lips part, about to speak and I flung the door shut. I wanted to yell for my dad but a loud knock made me jump. I frantically locked the door. I got up on my toes and looked through the peep hole. The beautiful but terrifying face was looking far up into the sky, she always loved the stars. I caught myself just staring at her. Her normally sun kissed skin was now pale, almost blue. I forgot that I was supposed to yell for my parents, they wouldn`t believe me anyways. My date`s name was Olivia and she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. I could feel my heart almost stop whenever I saw her, I turned into a mumbling mess around her. But the girl I was looking at now was not the green eyed, star loving Olivia I had asked out. Her yellow eyes and pale skin made her look different. It was at this time I noticed the tear on her arm, like she had been clawed. I do not know why but seeing her in this state made me a bit emotional. Clearing my throat, I decided to finally speak “Who are you?” I asked as though as I could. Refusing to leave her outside my door, something played on my feelings for Olivia. The girl outside took her eyes away from the sky “Laura, I need to talk with you”. Pressing my head against the door, I frowned “Talk with me then… I am sorry but I cannot let you in” I tried not to sound nervous. Olivia stepped up to the peeping hole, looking in. As quickly as I saw her golden eyes getting closer, I quickly jumped back “It is pretty cold out here”. “You are not Olivia” I responded, covering the peephole with my hand. The sound of high heels taking steps back rang from behind the door. I was relived, she sounded like she was leaving. That is when I realized, the back door was unlocked. |
