Apartment 13
My brand new Horror.
Have you ever felt that chill traveling through your spine? Well, that is something walking in exactly the same spot in the parallel universe. It might not even be human. But it's still someone. And they know where you are.
People say I'm weird but I'm not they just don't see the things I see. And because of this they tease me. Not just a normal bullying. This is much, much worse. They torment me so much. I'm very weak; I cut myself. My life's not worth living. So I've decided to move to another country. Now I am officially Cameron Martin and I now live in the U.K. I have no parents now, so I bought an apartment in London. Apartment 13.
I was walking down the old cobbled road of Tank Street on the way to school. It's my first day in year 8. Hopefully, I won't be bullied... hopefully. Walking through the school gates, I saw a teacher but he looked sort of weird. I assumed he was going to show me round so I walked closer to him. But then he was gone. He'd disappeared. It must have been those voices I hear. Playing tricks on me again. But one thing I wouldn't do was tell the students. I'd just get hurt again.
First period. Music. I really like music. I'm not one of those sporty boys. I'm more of a boy who likes drama and music and all that sort of stuff. Our teacher (Mr. Looner) is very, very boring. He talks about himself all the time. We don't really learn any music. He just talks about his cello career in the Maltes Orchestra. If we do learn anything it's going to be about cellos.
Day one in my new life and so far, I hate it.
Second Period. Art. Right now I'm sitting next to the most disgusting boy in our class, his name is Peter.
"Hi." He says to me in a geeky voice
I'm hiding my laughter but in the end I just come out with it and laugh my head off.
"Cameron!" Miss Jones snapped "What's so funny?"
"Nothing madam" I reply
"Why don't you stand up and tell the class what's so funny"
"Fine...Peter licked his armpit"
The Whole class burst out in laughter and Peter sank into his seat embarrassed. Miss Jones was hiding the laughter but I could still see she was smiling.
"Cameron, go to the headmistress now!"
"Liar" Peter shouted
"Liam, ha, ha, ha" The voices whispered
"Shut up, don't call me Liam!" I screamed
The whole class stared at me weirdly. I'd blown it. Now they'll think I'm crazy.
Slowly, I dawdled to the headmistress' office. I looked to my left and saw a shadow. Nothing was casting the shadow, I looked around. Nothing. I sprinted round the corner to my destination. But the shadow was still following me. Its arms were up and his hands were like a cat. The thing was gone, it just disappeared in thin air.
The head mistresses office is a normal room. Except it has lots of pictures all of old people I assumed they were relatives.
"Cameron, Cameron, Cameron what are we going to do with you? You've been at this school for less than two hours and you're already in my office." Said Mrs. Cox "I'm Going to let you off with a warning but then that's it you will be in a week's detention."
"Now off you go"
I walked out of the room silently.
...
RING, RING, RING, RING, RING. Finally, break time. I'm saved by the bell. I walk out into the playground it is quite big. It's not huge, but it's O.k. I walk up to a group of boys and I listen to their conversation.
"You know the new boy, right?"
"Yeah" They replied
"In class he randomly shouted: shut up. It was proper weird man."
They turned round and looked at me and said nothing
"Awkward silence" Someone said
It was weird and all being in a new school but I'm not sure if they're talking about my craziness or maybe coz I'm new? I just don't know.
"What you want?" Tom said
Tom was like the leader of the cool crowd he was very skinny and quite tall with dark brown hair, green eyes and lips that look like they've swollen up.
"Nothing" I replied in a dull tone
"So" Tom said "You wanna be with us?"
"Sure"
"Meet us at the old park after school. It will be your initiation ceremony"
"O.k." I said "See you there"
Period three, geography. Geography is a really good subject because I learn interesting stuff which is actually good. In my old school geography was really boring and the teacher looked like a horse. I can't stop thinking about the park, I wonder what will happen, is it really real, or will I get hurt?
"Cameron, what is the capital of U.S.A?" asked Miss McMuddin
"Washington D.C" I reply
"Good boy Cameron"
I hear a loud noise followed by a horrible smell and Hannah shouts out:
"Peter Farted and it smells like egg!"
The whole class get out of their seats and sprint to the windows everyone's pushing and shoving trying to stick their head out the window. But the windows are locked. It's hopeless; we're stuck with the smell.
"No comments please, it was an accident. Peter can't help his gassy issues."
The class laughs at him and I thought if they make fun of Peter they'll forget about my craziness; so I carry on laughing at him.
The rest of my day goes really quickly I don't really pay attention in all the subjects. I just keep thinking about what will happen after school today. I'm really excited.
At 3:15 the bell rings for the end of the day. I start walking to brown park. It's not very big it has a few apparatus: swings, a slide, a climbing frame and monkey bars, that's about it. Tom arrives with Luke, Ben, Edward and Harrison.
"Now here's what you have to do" Tom snaps
I get distracted there is something walking through the park gate but I can't tell what it is. I squint. There's definitely something there.
"Tom" I begin
"Shut up!" He shouts back
"But"
"Shut the hell up!"
I start to run and turn round. At a safe distance I stop. That thing I saw is right behind Ben.
"Where the hell is he going?" Tom said
"Ben, do you think he's weird?" Harrison asks me
"Yeah, Totally. What's he looking at?" I reply
I turn round and see a figure, it's very, very pale. It's a girl. It's wearing a long white gown, she look slightly younger than me about the age of twelve. The Girls' hair is all over her face so I can't see her eyes. She's carrying a stuffed toy bear in one hand. She looks up at me with evil eyes. All of us are stuck to the stop we're to scared to move. She bears thousands of sharp teeth at us. I start to run, but I'm not that fast. The others ran off without me. I fall to the ground and then the girl's on top of me she's trying to get at my face.
"Get Off!" I scream
She holds me still I stop thrashing out. She smiles at me with normal teeth this time. I smile back. She leans close to my face and I lean towards her. Our lips are about to touch. She bites. I scream. I can feel chunks of my face being ripped off. The pain hurts so much now, I just stop, fall limp, silence...
I'm still running towards my apartment, i can't forget what I just saw. It was just horrible. The blood. The girl. Ben. He was just torn apart in a matter of seconds.
In the apartment it is very bright the sun is shining strongly through the windows. The apartment is only one room it is a bedroom and a living room. So there is a sofa bed. I smell a smell. But I can't tell what it is. It smells like a roast, a meat cooking. Looking at the oven I see nothing. Where is that smell coming from? I sniff again, It seems that the smell is coming from the cupboard. Like an explosion the cupboard bursts into flames. I jump back. Instantly the fire disappears and the cupboard brakes. Inside is what i think is Ben's head. And the girl munching on it. Munching on it like a banana. I blink. Everything's gone, the cupboard is back to normal, there is no girl, or Ben.
"Stop messing with me!" I scream violently
"I am not messing with you Liam" The voices say " This is real"
There's a shadow I can see it under the door it's just standing there. The door handle starts shaking uncontrollably. A thing comes through. Half Lion, half man. It's fur is all red and dirty, the disgusting thing reeks of flesh and dead people. It bears it's bloody red teeth. It pounces onto me like a cheetah. It starts tearing at my face.
"Get off me you filthy..."
Cameron, or should I say Liam, never finished that sentence. He had a gift. In a parallel universe, when someone walked over exactly the same spot he didn't shiver. He heard or saw things. And if you have this gift... you are certain to die.
