Ambience

If I were this girl how would I be feeling right now? She isn't upset, but she isn't fine either. Ambience. The only way to describe what she must be feeling. Lost, alone, uncaring about her position, merely glad she is no longer where she was. What threatened her there? Was she attacked? Was it someone she knew, who lured her out into a cabin in the woods to harm? As her ambience fades what is she feeling? Did the other have a good reason for what they did? Was it a man, a woman? Did they try to kill or rape her? What happened in the wooded cabin that caused her to run to where she is now? How about we play it this way, and see what she will tell us...

I followed Issac through the woods.

"Where are we headed?" I asked again, realizing before I did he would not answer this time either. He laughed me off.

"The birthday girl must be surprised." The tone of his voice spelled something different to me, what exactly I didn't know, but something all the same.

"Hmm." He chuckled again.

"You're so curious, act your age and wait for your surprise." Again that sense came to me, he's lying, I shook my head violently to banish the thought. There is no reason for him to lie! He stopped abruptly and I bumped into him. "We're here." I glanced over his shoulder at the small cabin in front of us.

"How cool!" I danced around him to the door of the cabin. "Can we go in?" He chuckled, a sound without the warmth it should have held.

"Of course." He pulled a key from his pocket and unlocked the door. "What would be the point otherwise?" I nodded at this reasoning; this is wrong! I shrugged the feeling again, Issac and I grew up together, we were dating, nothing was wrong.

Once inside he sat me down at a table in the living room and told me to wait before leaving. I waited for a minute, two, three, I got up.

"Issac?" I wondered around the small cabin. "Issac, I'm going for a walk." Hearing no answer I left, now I wish I never had, or rather, that I hadn't known.

The wind blew gently outside, the spring air was warm but not to much, it was pleasant. I wondered a few feet from the cabin humming to myself as I went. A scream cut through the air before I had taken four steps. I ducked behind the nearest tree and searched for the source of the sound. Not ten feet away a young woman was crouched on the ground holding her arm which was bleeding heavily as Issac stood before her with a bloody knife.

"Micca, I told you not to make to much noise, my girlfriend is here with me." The girl gave him the most hateful glare she could and hissed.

"Are you gonna kill her too? After all, there was another girl here with me originally!" Issac shoke his head slowly.

"She had to go, I can only have one wife at a time." She threw a fistful of dirt at him.

"You're a fucking sicko!" He growled low in his throat and slammed the knife into her chest. I watched as she died, I had to get out of there. Run.

I spun and took off. What the hell had just happened? Was that really Issac? It couldn't be, it just couldn't.

I ran and ran and didn't slow, I didn't know what had happened, I didn't know where I was; I didn't want to know. I finally stumbled to a tree and held onto it till blood streamed from my hands. That girl was dead, but she had saved my life. I closed my eyes breathing deeply through my nose. Issac. I slid to the ground leaning against the tree; I can't blame him, not if I think back three summers ago...

I opened my apartment door, once again supporting the weight of my bestfriend.
"Issac? We're here." I whispered softly in his ear. He grunted in reply. I led him to the couch and set him down there. I stared at him for a moment. How could she do this to her own son? I ran my eyes over his entire body. A broken arm for sure, a couple of cracked ribs, and he wouldn't be walking on that leg anytime soon...

I opened my eyes again. In the end he had to kill his own mother or be killed by her. Nobody could deal with that I suppose. My thought's went back to the girl, Micca. Still, she didn't deserve that. She did nothing to him. I closed my eyes regaining myself again, no pain, no pleasure, only the void inside me that came from understanding it all. Ambience.
