he
could see daylight peering through the window, that meant he slept
all through the night.
“Brilliant! Those sleeping pills
worked a treat!” He said to himself “and I feel bloody brilliant
after that sleep!”
Dave hopped out of bed and
walked to the bedroom door, for the first time in as long as he
could remember he had woken up happy. He walked with a spring in
his step, he was borderline skipping he felt so good.
He opened his bedroom door, his
jaw dropped. His face twisted in shock, he looked down to see that
he was standing in blood. He looked back up, the room was red, the
walls were painted with blood.
He screamed “Mum!”
Chapter 11
Dave ran through the house
looking for his mum. He could feel his feet sinking into the blood
that had been soaked into the carpet. Everywhere he looked he could
see red, it was all over the walls, all over the furniture, all
over every door. What the hell happened, how could he have slept
through all this? The place was trashed, how could he not hear a
thing last night?
He ran to his mum’s room, it was
empty. All that remained was the aftermath of what ever happened
last night. Her TV was on the floor, broken. What little personal
items she had were scattered around the room. Her bed was red, it
had what looked to be a puddle of blood in the middle of it, so
much that the bed and sunken a little bit in the centre. Dave left
his mum’s room to check everywhere else in the house. She was
nowhere to be seen. Whatever or whoever had made all this mess had
taken her with it. Or what was left of her, how could she even
still be alive in she had lost so much blood? Dave dropped to his
knees, struggling to breath in a state of shock and fear. He was
shaking, he vomited on the floor, then he began to cry.
A couple of hours had past, Dave
had been taken from the house to the police station. They had
checked him out first in the back of an ambulance to make sure that
he had no wounds. He explained that nothing happened to him, he
woke up and it was already over. Whatever took his mum didn’t touch
him. Regardless of Dave’s explanation, the paramedics checked him
over anyway.
“Hello again Dave” Said Officer
Stephens as he sat down.
Officer Sidekick trainee wasn’t
with him this time, there was someone else, he didn’t introduce
himself or say anything, he just sat there to be, watching. Dave
chose to ignore him, he assumed that this guy just had to be
there for some legal reason or something like that.
“Hi” Dave mumbled.
“So how are you feeling?”
Officer Stephens asked.
“I’ve been better.” Dave
answered.
“Yeah I’ll bet” This almost
sounded sarcastic to Dave. “So” Officer Stephens continued “Would
you care to tell me what happened last night?”
“I, I don’t know” Dave said, his
voice quivering as he spoke.
“Come on Dave, how could you not
know, you were there weren’t you? The house can’t end up like that
without you noticing!”
“No, I was asleep”
“Asleep! You expect me to
believe that you slept right through while someone trashed your
house and did whatever they did in there last night!”
“YES!” Dave shouted back “I
hadn’t slept in weeks! I took some sleeping pills last night, I
slept right through till morning, I didn’t hear a thing.”
“Right ok so let’s say you did sleep right through from these sleeping pills, where did
you get them from might I ask?”
“I got them from the doctor, I
haven’t been able to sleep since, you know, what happened to Lisa,
so the doc gave me pills.”
Officer Stephens jumped at this
“No! We still don’t know what happened to Lisa do we! All we know
is that now your mother is off to join her wherever she has run off
too! And the only person who seems to know anything is you
Dave!”
“No I don’t
