All of the monsters that only I can see, gathered around my father, as lied in the hospital bed.

And in that moment, he died.

I was only eighg. I guess that's just what these monsters do. They mope around, walking with no meaning, while gathering around the things when their time is up.

It's a weeks process. All the monsters get this notion of sorts, as they are assigned a certain human, creature, or thing.

I've seen it way to many times. Everyone has a shadow when they are born, and they know it.

But no one knows that a week before your death, five monsters a born, and they follow you, waiting until they can take you away. And when it is your time.

They gather around you, like a circle. They trap you, and no one knows.

Me.

I was born with no shadow. An today. I got my first one.

"I guess it's my last week to live, isn't it?" I talked to my reflection, seeing my shadow, drifting in one place. It's light eyes, shining bright, as it watched my every move.

I sighed, doing the same routine that I did yesterday. Stacy and Hannah calling me names, Jordan telling me where to sit, then Hannah throwing the paper ball to my head, with the words 'kill yourself'

The entire time the shadow watched. Watched the torture that I am having to deal with on a daily bases.

It happened like that everyday. A new shadow, the same route in life.

Well until Friday that is.

I waited for all the kids to clear off the bus, not wanting to draw attention to myself. But every few people who passed me, either smacked the back of my head or told me harsh things.

As the last person exited the bus, I sat from my seat, walking off, and quickly into the school.

The halls were complex, but I can still manage it. Made it to my locker, surprisingly, no one threatening me, or anything of the sorts. I hurried to place in my combination to my lock, it  clicking open, allowing me access.

I opened the locker, bag in hand, as hundreds of papers poured out of the tin cubby. All with the same sentence.

Do a favor and die

I ignored them, placing my bag in my locker, taking out a few books that I needed for my class. I shut my locker, closing the lock.

I turned, seeing my shadow, pick up one of the 'kill yourself' notes, as it dissolved in it's hands.

"You wouldn't want to read it anyways," I whispered, as it gave me a stoic expression.

I gently smiled to the figure, but it quickly faded as Michael came into view. He placed his palms on the lockers on either side of my head.

I starred at him blankly, as he leaned closer. I already what was gonna happen. He leaned into my ear with only four words for me.

"Jump off a roof," with that, he unlocked me from his 'cage' smacking my books out of my grasp. He walked away, like nothing happened, as I picked up my folders.

"Same thing as yesterday...." I mumbled to myself, as I watched shadows come and go from the halls. Other students laughing at me as I picked up my belongings.

There was nothing wrong with my complexion, as far as I could tell. I was just a pale teenage girl with a brown pixie hair cut, and grey-blue eyes.

Nothing special, nothing bad, just exceptional.

I stood from picking up my items, heading to class once more. Along the way I sank deep into thought.

What day is it today? Thursday? So....tomorrow is the day huh? I guess I should make the best of today.

I stopped, as I was just about to enter my class, a few kids staring at me oddly.

I dropped my books, running down the hall. Maybe my day will come sooner then planned.

As I ran, the amount of monsters behind me increased.

I felt tears burning at the edged of my eyes. I darted up the school stairs, and onto the roof. The school was tall, kind of like one you would find in an anime, or Japan.

I slowed my pace, walking to the edge of the building. I looked down, watching as people looked up at me.

Some smiling, saying I won't do it, others afraid, Hannah and Stacy taking their phones out.

I sighed, taking out my phone, thinking that I should at least tell the one place that I felt at home goodbye.

I typed up a short paragraph in my life book, saying that I was quitting wattpad.

I was quitting school.

I was quitting life.

As soon as it went up. I sighed, reaching my arm out, my phone in hand. As I was about to drop it, it buzzed to life.

There I saw a glimpse of one human, who could tell me everything was right.

But....

Before I could answer it.

I hit the ground.

But, what if I had a second chance?

To change my life.

To answer the message.

Hey guys! This is probably the most crappy, shortest, and un-subtle book I have ever created.

I know, it was like two? Two and a half chapters long, but hey.

I tried.

I hope you enjoyed!

I was bord and had this idea. Then it backfired like a pre-detonated grenade.....

But hey! I hope you enjoyed?!?!?!!?!

Yes?!?!

No?!?!

Maybe so???!?!!!;

Anyway! Check out my gurl Petlover1116!!! An if you were wandering, yes.

She was the one who sent the message in the story!!!!
