Anon-A-Miss: Soul of Friendship

"So...you have cancer?" Sunset asked. She had learned a little about it in school when she was still alive. I nod.

"I was 11..." My expression was grim. "I started to expierence frequent headaches and sometimes they were really painful."

"That must have sucked," Sunset said with sympathy.

"Anyways, my parents took me to the hospital and it was worse than we expected. The doctors found an inoperable brain tumor in my head. Because they couldn't operate on it, they instead gave me some medication to help nuetralize it so I could live longer. But...my family wasn't exactly the best when it came to money. We were only able to afford it for a couple years before we...stopped. If I'm being honest, I don't know how I was able to survive this long. I wasn't even expecting to survive until my 16th birthday."

"Oh my god...I'm so sorry!" Sunset gasped with horror. I sigh.

"Don't worry about it. If I'm being real here, I probably only have until the end of Janurary to help you. Or if God gave me a miracle, the end of the first week of Feburary. And if you've been watching me and wondering why I choose not to make any friends, it's because of this. Friendships are meant to last for a long time. But that's not going to work for me. I don't want to be the one who makes a friendship with someone only for me to never be heard from again. That's going to break thier heart."

"You know it's never too late. Even if you don't make it at least you'll still have someone to care for you."

I sigh and smile. "I guess so." Sunset returns the smile at me.

"Don't worry. I'll try to help you as much as I can." She fades away and I soon found myself alone once again in my basement. Feeling tired I decided to go back to bed until I hear my little sister screaming that sent me running out of the basement.

"Jenna!" I gasped racing torwards her room. I guess my parents heard her too because I ran straight into them.

"Jordan?! What are you doing up?!" Derrick asked.

"The same reason as you! I heard Jenna screaming!" Together we ran inside her room and saw my little sister curled up in the corner of the room bawling like a two year old. Avery rushed into her room and gave her a hug.

"Jenna?! What's wrong?! What's the matter?!"

"S-s-s-s-sca-ry monster!" She wailed. Avery continued to comfort Jenna who was still crying.

"Do you want to tell me who this monster looks like?" She asks.

Jenna nodded. "She had r-r-red wings a-and fire hair and tail and black eyes with small pupils!" Avery hugged her daughter closer to her.

"Oh, honey. It's all in you're imagination...nothing's going to hurt you."

"R-really? What if he comes back?!" She started to cry again. Avery hugged her daughter again.

"It's okay. You probably just had a nightmare." She kissed her forehead. I started to get worried. I didn't want to say anything right now to avoid scaring my little sister but something tells me that her nightmare isn't really a nightmare. I went back to my room after they were able to calm her down. I opened up another entry in my journal and began to write.

When Sunset was killed here, I don't think it's only her spirit that haunts the place. I think something else is with us. Something far more sinister. I hope it's only in our imagaination.

It didn't take long for the neighborhood to be swarming with police when a stranger discovered Sunset's corpse in the rivers. This nearly threw him in for a heart attack but he remained calm enough to contact the authorities. They came at once and he told them everything he saw.

"You know I was just taking a walk and I found this girl's dead body in the water!" He looked like he was about to vomit. "She was completley naked and I swear to god I thouht I saw something carved on her stomach!"

The Officer, who was named Glass Shard gave a long and depressed sigh. "It's a shame these kind of tragedies happen around here. Obviously, we can't save her now but we will do everything we can to bring her killers to justice!" His fellow officers had already gotten the body and put it on the stretcher. "Take the body to the examination room. We need to find a cause of death as soon as possible." He ordered. This mystery wasn't going to be easy.
