Wrapping up the first week of blogging

Posted byBecca W.Posted inWriting

First of all I wanted to say thank you to everyone who has been reading my stories and liking, commenting, following me so far and for being so patient with me. For wrapping up this week’s dark theme I’ll share with you my one shot scary story. Enjoy!

The Silhouette

I woke with a bolt only to find that I was could not move, feel, or speak. I could only stare at the looming silhouette leaning against my bedroom door frame.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrkkk. The floor protested as the heavey feet padded into my room. I could hear the hiss of his hands purposely dragging down my bedroom walls. I squeezed my eyes shut then opened them as wide as I could to make sure that this wasn’t a dream.

Once he made his way out of the light from the nightlight in the hall the darkness swallowed his figure and he became one with the night. He reappeared inches away from my face his hood casting a shadow over his face. “It’s time. Come with me.” The low voice hissed from with in the hood.

“Where are we going?” I asked the hooded figure staring at the space where his face would be finding my voice.

“I am here to be your companion to meet death,” the voice drawled.

“What is the name of my companion?” I spoke only curious. I was not afraid of death I wanted to understand it.

“I do not have a name, but I am known by many. If you must call me by a name you may call me the reaper. Come with me. We must start our long journey together.” The soft low voice urged me and the reaper held out his hand.

I took the hand of the reaper and pulled myself up. “Do you ever get lonely?” I heard myself ask unable to stop my curiousity.

There was a long pause before he answered, “I am always alone. I give the dying one last source of comfort by bringing them to meet death, so they are not alone.” Did he sound sad? I must be imagining it.

“Do you have to do this job alone?” I found myself empathizing with the feeling of loneliness, and I suddenly wanted to provide any comfort I could to the reaper.

Silence.

“No, but who would want to walk in the endless void giving comfort to the dying with me? Everyone I have traveled with fears death and tries to avoid it at all cost. Yet, here you are embracing it.” His voice deepened causing him to sound more vulnerable and his head tilted down.

“Death is the best kept secret there is. No one knows what it is like to die. It just happens. Since I have no control over when I die I have no reason to fear it. I could keep you company for a while if we have the time.” I suggested without thinking. I don’t know why I felt sorry for the reaper I just did.

“You’re the most unique soul I’ve encountered in a very long time if not ever and that is saying something.” The voice from under the hood replied in a surprised tone. “Time is not relevant here. I would love the company if you are willing to stay with me.”

I smiled and kept my fingers entertwined with his as we walked farther into the void of nothingness.

And that is how my friendship with the reaper began.

  • My Friends and I
    I could feel the feelings sinking into me again as I crunches through the leaves. Well, they never truly left me. There’s always that emptiness there.

    A soft chill swept down her body. He’s here again. She thought. Her body quivered with a mix of fear and excitement. She looked at the end of her bed and saw him. She waited.

  • The Third Encounter (Part Three)
    He lurked in the dark, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. A shadow blending into the darkness whispering words of wisdom into her head that only she could hear. Comforting consoling her.

  • The Final Encounter
    Sensing him she turned. He gazed at her intently. She imagined what it would be like for him to gently caress her skin again. He moved closer so he was almost brushing her.

    The moonlight made my skin glow in a silvery pale light. My usually dirty blond hair sparkled a silvery grey in the full moon light as I ran through the forest.

IContinue reading “My One True Desire”
  • A Slice of Time (Teaser)
    I woke to yelling. I stretched wondering what the commotion was about. I peaked open my eyes and saw nothing that was familiar.

  • A Slice of Time (Continued)
    “I’m sorry I didn’t mean to alarm you. I just want to help you get back to where you should be. Aren’t you confused?” The ambered eyed man stood in front of me on the other side of the bed.

    As James and I walked down the long tunnel he started to explain. “Look, I’ll explain what I can. I just know my master likes to travel.

  • The Pirate Prince (Continued)
    I slung Zara’s arm over my shoulder and wrapped my arms around his torso so I could get a better grip as we started the climb to grandmother Opal’s house.

    “There’s no need to thank us. We are always happy to help people in need.” I assured him. “You should rest.

Yell if you need anything,”Continue reading “The Pirate Prince (Continued)”

    I couldn’t help but notice the rough calluses on his hands as he pulled me up.

  • Flourishing Love
    Love is the unconditional admiration and fascination with another being. The unexplainable attraction that brings beings together. The chemical reaction that happens with someone else but feels like nothing you have felt before. There are so many thoughts on love itself that my description of it may sound like the others. However, one thing IContinue reading “Flourishing Love”
  • The Conquered Beast (1)
    My bare feel slapped the cobblestone floor, the wind tossed my straight black hair over my shoulder as I dashed through the halls towards the courtyard. My shoes were long gone since it’s impractical to do pretty much anything in heels so running in them was out of the question. I had my dress clutchedContinue reading “The Conquered Beast (1)”
  • The Conquered Beast (Continued 2)
    I slept surprisingly well on the beast’s back as we flew. When I woke to Gorgavitch landing in a grassy field that was surrounded by a forest. “Are we there already?” I yawned while stretching. A chuckle that sounded like an avalanche came tumbling out of his mouth in response. The chuckle made his entireContinue reading “The Conquered Beast (Continued 2)”
  • The Conquered Beast (Continued 3)
    I don’t know if Gorgavitch leapt or flew, but all I felt was the rush of wind flip my hair into my face. When I pushed my hair back I looked up to see the underside of a scaly neck and chin of the beast. Even from upside down I could see the fierce expressionContinue reading “The Conquered Beast (Continued 3)”
  • The Conquered Beast (Continued 4)
    The fire crackled and burned bright giving off a slight blue hue has it ate away at the branches. As the sun disappeared the temperature dropped noticeably. I scooted myself closer to the warmth wishing I had brought a jacket or blanket or anything. It wasn’t long before Gorgavitch came trudging back through the woodsContinue reading “The Conquered Beast (Continued 4)”
  • The Mystery
    The tall lanky man was sprinting up the street towards me. When he spotted me he slowed his pace to a jog and came up to me with his chocolate brown hair sticking up in every direction. His frown made creases around his eyes which showed the stress he was feeling. His hazel eyes wereContinue reading “The Mystery”
  • The Conquered Beast (Continued 5)
    After watching the world fly by as we glided through the night air I was lulled into a peaceful sleep. Eventually, I was woken by Gorgavitch landing and the sun peaking out over the horizon. We had landed in front of a large cave that was carved out of the side of the biggest mountainContinue reading “The Conquered Beast (Continued 5)”
  • The Conquered Beast (Continued 6)
    The sound of zizzling entered my ears as I slowly regained consciousness. Opening my eyes revealed Gorgavitch sittling by the fire cooking chunks of meat. “Careful, you’re ruining the meat for yourself,” I teased, while stretching. He turned his head to throw me a smirk. “Well, I found out the hard way that I needContinue reading “The Conquered Beast (Continued 6)”
  • Mini Story #1 – The Darkness
    This story starts out like any typical story does. It’s a lovely sunny day and all of the sudden there’s nothing but darkness. I don’t mean the type of darkness that comes from the sun setting. I mean this is the type of darkness that is so dark that it consumes everything it touches. TheContinue reading “Mini Story #1 – The Darkness”
  • Mini Story #2 – A Moment in Time
    I suck the crisp night air into my lungs. My breath creates clouds of mist which blends into the foggy air. I pull my hood down to protect my face from the gust of wind that tugged at it.

    I woke up to the sensation of falling. I went to push myself up and found that there was nothing around me but air. My eyes flew open only to be squeezed shut again.

  • Mini Story #4- The List
    I was handed a list of one hundred names. One hundred names to wipe from existence. I have killed ninty-nine people flawlessly, just like I was trained to do. Why is she different?

    There’s no need for time now that I’m with him. My new name is Nissa. It surprised me how easily I slipped into my new life.

  • Mini Story #6- The Night
    It took me a moment to process what I was hearing when she spoke. I was prepared to sleep on the floor forever. I wouldn’t blame her for not wanting a stranger sleeping in the same bed as you. I wouldn’t trust a stranger either. I could tell that there was something she was hidingContinue reading “Mini Story #6- The Night”
  • Mini Story #7- The Hunt
    I feel my heart pounding in the dark. We are a part of the darkest shadows in the night. We gingerly touch our feet to the ground careful not to make a single noise.

  • The Stranger
    I felt them before I saw them. The gaze lifted the small hairs on my body causing small bumps to appear on my skin.

  • Zizi
    I calmly take in the scene unraveling before my sky blue eyes. I let the steam from my cappuccino carry the perfect smell to my nostrils.

  • Zizi (Part 2)
    Her stormy grey eyes stare into my intense blue eyes. Her eyes speak the silent questions running through her mind. Why is he actually telling me the truth? Why did he save my life?

  • Zizi (Part 3)
    The room that greets us as we enter has a booth that’s big enough for four people. I stroll over the the booth and slide myself into my usual spot. I discretely feel around the leather seat until I found the hole. I glance over at Nora to see if she notices what I’m doing.Continue reading “Zizi (Part 3)”
  • Zizi (Part 4)
    Nora calmly takes a long sip of Bo’s special cocktail. I could tell by the slight wrinkle of her nose that she was not impressed but finishes her glass anyways. “I do what I have to in order to get the job done. I would not have told your friend that I’m in the businessContinue reading “Zizi (Part 4)”
  • Zizi (Part 5)
    “Before we leave, did either of you leave this van after leaving the building?” I ask wondering who Bo was warning me about earlier. “No. Once we finished establishing who the leader is we noticed you two were gone. We decided to go back to the van to figure out what to do.” Oliver startsContinue reading “Zizi (Part 5)”
  • Zizi (Part 6)
    The heat of the explosion is so fast and hot that we both have to turn away from it eventhough our hiding spot is several blocks away. “Follow me,” I speak knowing where I’m taking her is the safest place there is. She gives me a silent nod letting me know she’s ready. Our feetContinue reading “Zizi (Part 6)”
  • The Creature
    I inhale a sharp intake of breath as my brown eyes meet its yellow cat like eyes. It’s here. It’s ten feet away from me black as the surrounding night more deadly than poison. It strolls forward in an alarming rate. Its now five feet away from me. I try to scream. No sound comesContinue reading “The Creature”
  • Her
    Her chest rises and falls, slowly, as she sleeps in her bed. Her hair splashed across her pillows and covers her face. I reach over and gently brush her hair out of her face. Now that the curtain of hair is removed I can see her high cheek bones and slender face. Her face isContinue reading “Her”
  • Everything and Nothing
    There is so much absence of light that it has consumed everything. The absence of light consumes me. My ears strain against the silence trying to hear something, anything. My eye open wider attempting to see despite the fact that there is no source of light. I cannot feel my own existence. My body failsContinue reading “Everything and Nothing”
  • Zizi (Part 7)
    I hold open the door for her as we reach my apartment building. She gives me a small smile before walking into the safety of the lobby. I can tell that the events of tonight are catching up to her despite her attempts to hide her emotions. I give the security guard, Sam, a nodContinue reading “Zizi (Part 7)”
  • The Pull
    “Ever since I can remember I have felt every emotion with every part of my body. I feel so much that I feel like I’m the only one in the world who feels as much as I do. This is to say that when I am sad my entire body aches. This happens because whenContinue reading “The Pull”
  • Zizi (Part 8)
    I found my sleep restless as usual. Between the nightmares and the recent events my mind has been spinning. I’m confused. For the first time in my life I have no idea what I’m doing. The smart part of me says kill her before she betrays you. Usually there’s nothing holding me back. However, sheContinue reading “Zizi (Part 8)”
  • Zizi (Part 9)
    I jump as a hand lands on my chest. My tired brain takes a moment to remember that there is a beautiful woman sleeping next to me.

  • My Friend The Reaper
    Continued. “It’s strange walking with someone who is so kind to me,” the hooded man spoke softly. “Most try to talk me out of taking them as if I have a choice. I don’t decide who dies.

    It’s been a few months now, since the day Nora and I decided to team up. My original plan was to help as many people hurt by K.N.O.C.K.O.U.T. as possible.

    “You sit in front of me.” I snapped at Maxwell as he tried to climb behind me. “You still don’t trust me?” He replied pretending to be hurt. “I only trust Maydire.

    “Who I am is no concern of yours.” Then directed her words at Maxwell as he started to shift. “If you stir I will shoot you,” the shadow warned their bow glinting in the moonlight. “You’ll be dead before you draw your first arrow.” I shot back carefully aiming my arrow. “Show yourself!” “I wouldContinue reading “Safire and Maydire Chapter 3”

    We managed to slide open the door without alerting the guards. We kept down the hallway towards the room where our weapons were being kept.

    Usually, while walking down the street I am very cautious of my surroundings. However, today I was distracted. I had a feeling that something was going to happen but I could not figure out what.

    I ripped open the door of the stable and climbed onto Maydire’s back not really having a plan but all I knew was that I needed to get away from here.

    I woke with a pounding headache and a slight confusion about where I was. However, the more details I took in the more I remembered.

    “You mentioned the man Maxwell but what about this Maydire friend you have? Is she pretty?” Tod spoke quietly. “She’s gorgeous. She has been my best friend since we were very young.

    “If the girl finds out what you did to her horse she is going to be irrationally emotional which could mean trouble.” A basey voice warned while bouncing down the hallway. Maydire.

  • Safire and Maydire Chapter 15
    I don’t remember Maxwell taking my hand but I ripped myself away from his grasp and collapsed next to Maydire.

I desperately searched the area forContinue reading “Safire and Maydire Chapter 15”

    We were walking down the hallways when we were suddenly stopped by another familiar face. “Trying to steal my son away again are you?” Mrs. Ravclaw drawled then added. “Where is your father?

    I could feel the adrenaline flowing through my limbs. The feeling was so intense that my entire body was trembling. I slowly took in oxygen in an attempt to calm myself. Where am I?

  • Growth
    Finally, I’ve broken through this crumbly, damp, texture I’ve been digging through for months. I’ve been consuming, growing, and digging ever since I can remember. Today is the day I’ve been waiting for. Today is the day that I feel a brand new feeling I came to know as warmth. I let this sensation fuelContinue reading “Growth”
  • Working With The Public Also A True Story
    In the past I have talked about some of my truly horrible experiences with working with the public. Now it’s time to talk about the truly amazing people I’ve come across while working with the public. I’ll narrow it down to my top three amazing experiences. 3) At my first job I was seating aContinue reading “Working With The Public Also A True Story”
  • A Halloween Story
    This story takes place during a time when Halloween fell on the same night as the second full moon that October. The silvery glow of the moon cast a soft light over the little a-frame house by the lake. The house was built so close to the lake that one could jump off the deckContinue reading “A Halloween Story”
  • Waking Up in Space
    Are my eyes open or closed? I thought to myself as I regained consciousness. I blinked really hard. Once. Twice. Still only darkness. Am I blind? Before the panic set in a stabbing pain blossomed on the left side of my chest and throbbed all the way to my right side. Nothing seemed broken. DefinitelyContinue reading “Waking Up in Space”

    “Just because we can’t find a reason to leave you here we have agreed to help you out.” The gravely voiced man informed me. From the light of their flashlights I could see that they were wearing a type of spacesuit but not any type that I’ve seen before. The suits looked like skin tightContinue reading “Waking Up in Space (2)”
  • Waking Up in Space (3)
    “First time in a spaceship?” Oliver smirked on his way by me to take a seat at the front of the ship. Past his seat there was a huge window. Don’t get the wrong idea when I say huge. This window was the entire front of this ship. “Ahhuh,” I nodded while trying to makeContinue reading “Waking Up in Space (3)”

    “Is that what you two are calling it? Friendship?” Oliver teased while walking over to us after pressing a few more buttons. “Shut up,” Sébastien grumbled, while turning a darker shade of pink. “I’m just saying when they’re together they act more than friends.” Oliver sassed with a roll of his eyes as he satContinue reading “Waking Up in Space (4)”

    “You’re doing great. It’s almost done. I knew I couldn’t be the only one who finds the scan ticklish.” Sébastien encouraged me with a smile. I looked up at him and noticed that he had incredibly unique opaque blue eyes. “Thanks.” I chuckled then winced. Now that my adrenaline had started to wear off IContinue reading “Waking Up in Space (5)”

    “Definitely, just keep it interesting I hate a boring tour guide.” I sassed good naturedly. “Well in that case you better leave the tour to me.” Sébastien chuckled while pulling both Oliver and I to our feet. “Down this hall there are four doors the first one is Oliver’s room. The second door is myContinue reading “Waking Up in Space (6)”
  • Waking Up in Space (7)
    I woke up on my side with a blanket on me and my head on a pillow. When I opened my eyes the first thing I saw was the most expensive unbelievable dark black sky with smatterings of various colored lights. There were so many different colors that I had to squint to let myContinue reading “Waking Up in Space (7)”
