I’m creating this post for some kind of clarity the events haunt me to this day and just to say I don’t think I will ever go to sleep without looking under the bed if you understand what I’m saying. “Don’t scream” that sound should scare you. There was a girl in my neighborhood her name was Sarah but we called her Silent Sarah because she never spoke and she was really strange. We didn’t care too much me and my friends we had a tight circle and any girl one of us liked was in the group except for me. I kind of liked her but I could never talk to her maybe it was because she was so strange. One day when my friends and I separate like we always do on the way home I toke a shortcut through the forest (it was the quickest way but I just don’t always take it. I walked through the woods on a trail and I smelled something burning I had a ton of time until my mom was home so I followed the smell it lead me to an opening inside of the woods where I saw Sarah standing there in white clothes covered in blood stains. A fire was blazing and Sarah was there staring at it but some animal carcasses seem to be there in the fire. I thought I saw her turn my way so I did what anyone would do turned and ran home faster than Usain bolt. Arriving home chest heavy and pretty spooked about what I just saw all I could do is try and forget, but every day since then I saw her staring at me, during class and even at lunch. I knew she saw me that day I hope I wouldn’t end up like those animals. Soon I didn’t see her at school anymore I assumed she dropped out.

Some reports of burning house near our place have been creeping me out because I still have an idea it could be Sarah and with her seeing that one day it could be me. The next day of school I got a note in my locker saying nothing just a smile face on a sticky note having no idea who it was I just shoved it in my pocket. I turned around, but at the very end of the hallway I saw Sarah staring at me with a smile through her fiery red hair I noticed she was wearing a hoodie the exact one I lost two weeks ago I know it was mine because I was the only one I knew who had a hoodie with the word Chill Pill on it. I blinked and she was gone and this had happened more than once, I started feeling paranoid constantly watching to see Sarah was watching me. One weekend I was on my phone with my friend Charlie texting and I hear some scratching on my bedroom window I walk to window to see if anything is there but nothing was there. I go back to finish texting Charlie but I see a text from someone named Sarah and all the text said was “I like you”   and then another “I like you a lot” with a smiling emoji I text back “please stop stalking me your creeping me out”. I get a final text “don’t worry I will” I’m really creeped out at this point “why did I text back” I mumbled to myself. I crawl under my covers like a 6 year old and hope this will all go away tomorrow. In the middle of me sleeping that night I was awaking by a soft voice “wake up “ I heard opening my eyes I saw her standing over my bed on top of me. My heart was racing goosebumps were all over me I broke into aa cold sweat I wanted to move but I couldn’t I was strapped down to my bed she looked at me and quietly said “don’t scream” I wanted to yell but I couldn’t it’s hard to explain it but it was like someone was covering my mouth but I felt nothing there. She leaned forward and we were face to face she looked at with a smile but not a creepy one a nice gentle smile and I heard her whisper to me “I like you” I noticed she still had my hoodie on I looked at it and she noticed “I like it a lot” she said in a soft gentle voice. She paused and sat up while still on me she says “but I have to burn you” she pauses again and says “I don’t want to but I have to”. She lit the match and was now standing and dropped the match at the end of my bed. I was only 15 and I didn’t want to die by her fire she then kissed my forehead and stood in the corner of my room to watch me burn. I screamed internally but no one would hear me again she said “don’t scream” I scream again for help but only internally my heart is beating harder than ever and I feel the fire burning me feet “is this it” I think to myself tears running down my face “is this how I die. I heard a shot come through the window and a scream and I had blacked out from the fire. I still have a burn mark from the fire and I’m 22 now it actually looks like Japanese and it reads “burn in my fire”. The strange thing is I’m sure I saw her again when I was 21 staring at me looking the same exact age as when I was in high school. I started this blog for clarity and I know she's still out there I know she has found more victims so if you hear a sweet soft voice saying Don’t Scream it’s too late you might not be as lucky as me so I suggest you Don’t scream.
