• I could feel the flames licking at my face the burning was unbearable, the screaming that escaped from my mouth was not natural. I couldn't move, I couldn't see, it was only pain.
    I woke suddenly still in the room I fell asleep in. How many times would I have that dream and still not know if it was real or not? The child beside me murmered something intelligible and pulled the covers up higher. Such a weak orginism, so easily disturbed, so easily broken...... The monster inside me urged me forward, telling me it iwas ok. But, I knew better by now, that the monster was a beast and it wanted nothing but to kill. I decided not to go back to sleep, so I got up silently and tiptoed across the cold, hard floor. I walked down the stairs, narrowly avoiding the night gaurds. There, I stopped unbreathing. Scattered across a silky pink table cloth, were presents. Hanging from the ceiling read a banner "Happy Birthday Evei." That rang a bell, my name. I mused over in my head, that a whole nother year had passed. How old could I be? I started to rip the banner down, when the night gaurd came around to the door. I ducked under the table and sat. His loud boots echoed across the room and a second gaurd came in. The monster let a terrible rip, he was yearning to kill. I wrapped my arms around my knees. "So, they decided to throw a party for the girl after all?" The first gaurd said. "Obviousley, Sherlock." the second gaurd replied. "Huh, when are people finally goin' to relize that girl is a monster? She wakes up screaming in the middle of the night about burning... and her parents are coinsidently killed in a fire, and the girl survives? I' ve seen the way she looks at people... like she WANTS them to die...." The first gaurd shuddered. The monster chuckled. "She may be a little wack, but that doesnt mean she killed her parents, and that doesnt mean she'll kill at all, on top of that, we work in an Insane asylum. We're garunteed to run into that kinda thing." The first gaurd turned and left followed by the second. So many questions had been left unanswered... How come I didnt remember my family...? Did I actually kill them? Do people see it? Do they see the horrible thing growing inside me? Then I decided, this monster could grow...but it would NOT thrive.
