"They are here,
Hear their screams."

=============================

        My shoulders sunk as I sank into my couch, a beer in one hand and the television remote in another. "Come on you have to eat something," Bennett nagged , slowly reaching out of my beer and tuggong it out of my grip while locking his eyes with mine, and not the romantic type. "Come on you're not gonna go back home in the summer to tell your mom your living on beer and almonds!"

        Bennett was my childhood friend. We were often called out by other students at the time for actually believing something hides under our beds. We were called childish, which was ironic in a way at the time, so we remained stuck to each other. We even lived in the same building and were neighbors. Bennett though was far more of a nutcase than me. He was always planting surveillance cameras in his bedroom and had written a whole book about his "experiments " but unlike me, he did not have by his side his biological mother to worry over him. For she was gone. . . disappeared years ago before me and him met. There was nothing left of her, but her debts.

          " Say, " I attempted to change the topic, placing my hand on the small wooden table in front of me, before looking back at the pale boy. " Let's go on a trip, to that old little street we called home. We can stay at my place, my mom's had been begging me to use the old cabin my family owns in the forest. "

          "Talk about isolated, my bad luck will probably not get us out of there alive though," Bennett chuckled awkwardly . "Honestly I do miss my dads. . . They really did look after me alot. . . Especially Master Diluc."

           "You're really going out of your way to impress him aren't ya?" I only chuckled as Bennett got flustered, going on and on about his greatfulness , before settling down and hugging a random pillow belonging to the coach. "I do miss home. . ."

             The irony of hearing him say that. For all I remember he would curl up in the school playground with only cheese and crackers to satisfy his hunger. He was "bad luck." The other students did not enjoy being around him , let alone being in the same class , even the lunch lady avoided him. Some pitied him, others hated him simply because he was a "bad omen".

           "Come on, we can bring along Diluc, I'm sure he misses you after getting locked up with work for so long! "a cheap smile came over the young man's lips. "It'll be fun Benny ~ come on ~ I'm sure Razor is still living in the area too; your both were tight, no?"

            He only stared at me with hesitant forest eyes before nodding shyly, before pulling out his phone and carefully going through his contacts. I gave him a quick pat on the back as I glanced out the balcony of the apartment, and out to the small lit up town on the distance.

            The childhood laughter and whispers crawled back into my realm, sinking in those nightmarish dreams along with it. That little town was never normal in the eyes of that little naive pigtailed child of the past. Not an animal lived in those woods. Not a soul ever dared to enter them. The trees that guarded it often held nauseous aura from their crooked height to the rough texture of their old barks and lifeless twigs.

            Goosebumps ran up my skin as I tore my eyes away from the  far away nostalgic view, before standing up and heading to bed for the sake of my own slumber with that laughter slowly twisting and turning from high pitched voices to low, and then flat dead, hoarse . . .until silence settled in. I flicked on the night switch, letting the faint blue light to look over me as jumped into bed, curling into a ball and keeping all my limbs wrapped in the safety of my blanket and clutched onto the cold–chilly – tooth necklace my mother has given me long ago, brushing my fingers over its metal frame for comfort as I rested my head on to the soft puffy floofiness of my pillow , drifting off to dreamland and nightmares. . .once again chained to  the never ending calls and wicked laughter hushed in the back of my mind that followed me in the dark.
