Tianna’s fingers typed away at the computer, a small smile on her lips as she began responding to one of her numerous posts for the evening. She’d rather recently found the site, actually, about a month ago; Diagonal Sidewalks. Rather strange name, but it was interesting, and offered a rather open plot. Something she liked; it was so troublesome following tight plot lines sometimes. Curled up on her bed, she was content in her own little world. Large headphones blaring music from youtube were latched onto her ears, drowning out the rest of the world as she chuckled and wrote down something else.
”Tianna!” The noise of her mother calling was in the background, and she kept a straight face, pretending she hadn’t heard. ”Tianna!” Again she ignored it. Hoping that, maybe, if it seemed like her music was too loud, her mom might leave her alone to her sanctuary. All hope died when the door opened, and she looked up with innocent eyes, lifting one of the large headphones from her ear, ”Yes Mommy?”
”Dishes.”
She sighed, trying to refrain from rolling her eyes. A gesture that she failed at, and her mother caught. ”Excuse me? I did the dishes today while you were at school.”
”I know.” She muttered, ”I’ll be there in a sec,” lowering her headphone back over her ear, her eyes returned to the screen to bring up an msn conversation. ’I’ll be back in a bit. Dishes.’[/b] ’kk’. Closing the laptop and pulling off the headphones, she inched off the large king sized bed, jumping over a basket of laundry, and making her way to the kitchen to begin the dishes.
”You’ve spent an awful long time on that computer tonight.” As if it was much different from any other night. Tianna merely sighed, turning the water on to hot and making a few designs on the bottom of the sink with some purple soap. ”Why don’t you go check out the town? I don’t think you’ve left your room save for school.” She gritted her teeth, knowing her annoyance was unreasonable. Her mom was just concerned.
”Fine.” ’It’s probably just a boring old town. Like our last town.’ It was painful to have been taken away from her best friend, and she was planning on going back to Canada for college once she was done her last year of high school and her ‘victory lap’. There was nothing interesting here for her, in Tianna’s eyes.
A few minutes later, the dishes were finished and she left them on the rack to dry as she grabbed her shoes and slipped them on. ”I’ll be back in a bit.” The end of her sentence was cut off as she closed the door, burying her hands into her pockets and lowering her head as she walked away from the house. It was similar from the one they used to live in, except that the walls were all different, and a few of the bedrooms and rooms were in different spots. It was strange. Walking out of the house, and not being able to look upon her old town that she’d been raised in since grade one sent another pang of sadness through her.
Head down, Tianna allowed her feet to carry her in no particular direction. Although soon she found that there were less and less buildings. All were gone except for one. A large, rather frightening, run-down building rose in front of her. Stains leaked from shattered windows, and a few of the bricks were crumbling and fallen. A trickle of fear ran down her spine, though she pushed it back, scolding herself for being such a pansy. ’It’s just a run-down building. There’s nothing to be afraid of.’ The braver part of her mind scolded. The rational side of her took over, and she took a deep breath, curiosity getting the better of her as she squeezed through some twisted and broken bars.
The tingle remained coursing through her body, and she looked around to make sure she was alone before proceeding further to the building. There was a rusty sign, partially covered over by vines. Walking over to it, Tianna swept it aside. Falls Asylum. The small prickles of fear increased slightly as she turned back to the large, empty, dark building. The anxiety held her there, and she dearly wished she’d brought someone else along with her. ’Honestly, Tianna. Get a hold of yourself. This isn’t a horror movie. You aren’t being followed by some guy with a knife. You’re just scaring yourself. No more horror movie nights for you.’[/i] Gritting her teeth, she tentatively made her way closer to the building, pushing open the rotted door and staring into the darkness.
There was a creak behind her, and she gave a small yelp and turned, only to see nothing. The fear increased a tenfold, and a part of her revelled in it; the other part told her to run. Her heart pounded in her chest, reminding her of biology lessons about adrenaline and the such. Her body was just nervous. That didn’t mean there was danger...[/size]
