The Magic Of Scala Midge 3 (489 words)

What will come for me? I curled up in bed wondering what he meant by that. I wasn't going to let him scare me like that but I couldn't keep my mind off it just the same. Tori, as usual wasn't home. Although we share a small room with two beds, a toilet and a small space to consider our own I still didn't like the idea that I was alone. I kept all the lights switched on while I gaze at our stuff, the ceiling and the wall. I hate the idea of not knowing what I want to do with my life. Some of the other girls were so sure of what they want. To be a fashion designer, to be a violinist, to be a business entrepreneur, and to be a wife and mother.

I took a quick look around to be sure, and save. The room was barren. Tori's bed was empty. But there were shadows everywhere that could have been phantoms and maniacs waiting to pounce on their prey. I pulled my legs together to keep away from them but it didn't matter, I was already terrified to death.
