Icy Whisper 

My name is Aiden (21)… I live in Rotterdam with my sister Catlin (15). Cat (her nickname, her behavior always reminded me of a cat) had an unending interest in the Unknown. When my parents were first coming to the Netherlands, I had to get acclimated to the weather here. My father died when i was 16, and my mother could not care for us anymore when i was 18. So we lived with just the two of us. Although we came from the Northern lands of Scandinavia. The nights here began to grow colder and colder.



Something was wrong, very, very wrong…



One night I tried to come home drinking at the bar two blocks from my house. It was the 14th of November, I will never forget that night. As I was stumbling my way down the road I knew something was off… I didn’t know what but this night it seemed colder than all the others. “maybe a cigarette will calm me ” I said. But as I try to light it, it just goes out again… “Wait!” I yelled. “I can’t remember walking into this alley”. As my vision was bolting in all directions, I could see icy blue eyes watching me… staring into my soul. As It kept staring at me I could feel my limbs going numb, I could see my breath and I lost my vision in ten seconds…..



….I passed out?

My eyes opened. it was Cat! "Aiden are you alright?!" she asked while trying to pick me up from the ground. "are you hurt?". I can't describe how glad i was to see Cat's emerald eyes and warm smile. "come on" she said. "Let's go home".

"Cat there is something out there!" i said to her. "that's the reason i have been so cold these years". Cat murmurs something back but i'm not listening anymore... i only hear bits of my own thoughts, although those aren't clear as well. The only thing i can think about is that Thing, that Monster that lurks out there... I really didn't want to think about it. The thoughts might black me out, or worse!

"Get some sleep Aiden, you'll be safe". she said. "i'll be back soon with the groceries"

She said i would be safe, i don't know if she knows what is after me. I don't think i know.

while i was thinking that, the windows of my bedroom began to freeze. "Nowhere to hide Aiden" a mysterious voice whispered in my ear. "You know i will find you, no matter where you are". My darkest fears of what it could be jolted through my head... could it be dad? Mom? No they didn't sound like this as far as i can remember. "What's Wrong Aiden?" asked a familliar voice... Cat!

I passed out in her arms.

Three days later I woke up in a strange place, a place I’ve never been before. A hospital bed? I blacked out again… I think?

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">I was woken up by the nurse saying that I could leave, and that my sister would be waiting for me in the lobby. When the doors of the elevator closes, the nurse starts to mumble something at me. But when i stared at her face it suddenly melted away and the door closes...

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">As I stood in the elevator I heard a weird squeaking sound from the elevator shaft. The air began to feel cold, and heavy? “Oh no What is happening to me!” I yelled.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">In a split second the elevator was suspended in time, so was I. Blue/White fog came pouring through the vents in the walls and ceiling. I didn’t know what was happening, but I knew it was bad…

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">When I heard all kinds of people whispering in my head. It was unclear what they were saying. It started as quiet whispers but slowly changed… from whispers, to normal talking, to very loud screams and yelling! I grabbed the sides of my head while collapsing onto my knees. “Stop it!” I yelled, “STOP IT, GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">……………….

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">It was quiet…

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">The only thing I could hear was the sound of my own breath. It was quick and short.

<p class="MsoNormal">Then from the mists, Cat rises with eyes as blue as the sky, her skin as white as snow. her limbs not moving. <ac_metadata title="Please Review my Pasta: Icy Whisper"> </ac_metadata>
