I'll watch over you... Chapter 17

Your mother walked down stairs carrying a basket of dirty laundry, your brother sat by the end of the stairs starring at your mothers phone his (eye color) eyes looking focused on the screen. She sighed and sat by him setting the basket down.
"(Brothers name)... (Your name) will call when she has time, don't worry..." He looked over at your mother, and sighed. He set the phone in his lap, looking worried. Ever since you left he's been uneasy, having nightmares about some tall man watching him from the woods. People in masks, standing over him. Whispers humming in his ears, he tried to block out the noise but nothing worked. He'd wake up in the middle of the night. Not able to scream out for your mother, but no sound coming out. He'd walk to your old room, but when he opened the door reality would hit him. The room bare only your old bed and dresser still there. He'd drag his blanket to the bed and lay down curling up wishing you'd come home again.
"I know mom.. but..." He choked up slightly "why can't (Your name) just come home!" The older women sighed and hugged her son, stroking his (Hair color) hair. She watched the video's those men posted the experience they had out there, she didn't approve of what you gotten yourselves into, but she knew she had no power to stop you.
"Come on, your still not dressed, I gotta take you to school." the young boy nodded standing up rubbing his eyes and started to walk up the steps. "don't forget to grab your project"
"Yeah got it mom." He walked to his room and opened a few drawers grabbing his cloths and changing from his galaxy {1} pajamas, into a jean pants and a red shirt. He grabbed his green back-pack. He walked to your room starring at the oak door. He opened the door slowly and looked in it. He walked over to your dresser and opened the top drawer. When the man in the orange hoody gave you his old one. He hid it in your room so your mom wouldn't find it, He unzipped his bag stuffing the oversized hoody in it. He raced down the stairs when your mother called him and jumped into the back seat.

(Your bothers name) sat in his small class room. Ms. Sofie {2} was up front talking about many old myths from older times. His ears perked up when he heard the name "The Tall Man" He looked up, she was reading the book in her hands about the old myth. She walked around the class flipping the pages slowly, Leaning close to a few students while reading the creepy parts. His eyes trained on his teacher, she saw him starring and smiled at him and went back to reading.

The bell rang signalling the end of the day, he stood up grabbing his stuff. He was about to rush out of the room when his teacher stopped him.
"(Brothers name) you seemed very interested in today's myth.. Is there a reason why?" He crossed his arms behind his back.
"No reason it just seemed interesting.." He saw the look in her eyes, she knew your brother was lying she always knew when one of her students where lying.
"Is it about your sister?" His head snapped up, towards his slightly red haired teacher. He nodded faintly.
"She hasn't called or texted in a while and..." She knelt down handing him the book.
"Here, I've seen what she's dealing with just read this... maybe you can help her in someway.." Your brother grinned widely and thanked his teacher running out of the large building and sat on the stairs to wait for your mother. The sky was getting darker, he looked up spotting the stars up in the sky. She was late again.. he looked down at the book on his lap, he'd probably have to walk home... he took the hoody out of his bag and put it on, and started his journey towards the house. The book close to his chest, He kicked rocks and cans down the sidewalk. The streets where a safe place, they lived in a good neighborhood. But he still felt uneasy. He hugged the book closer and speed his walking up. The trees around him whispered softly in his ears, he stopped eyes wide, he felt eyes on his back. He slowly looked behind him dropping the book, he tried to scream at the sight in front of him but nothing came out. He turned and tried to flee from the faceless monster behind him but his body wouldn't move. He felt the creatures limbs wrap around his body. Horror flashed in his eyes when he felt his body tingle static ringing in his ears. No! No! No! Please No! Let me go!  Tears ran down his face. (your name) please... help me.. His world went black.


The book laid on the ground, fallen open. Wind blew the pages around as it started to rain. The drops of rain hitting the book, Feet kicked the stones of the road around. A man bent down and picked the book up slowly looking at the open pages. He looked around and tucked the book under his arm, then turned and walked the way he came. Knowing what happened but not caring in the little.
