Pins and Needles
Aidia sat up in her bed, unable to sleep due to the loud bickering of her parents in the next room.She swung around and layed her feet on the floor, thinking about going to the door. But then, a huge BOOM came from the kitchen. Aidia ran to the door and opened it, her mouth dropping open as she saw her dad, next to the counter with her mother on the floor, with a bullet hole in the back of her half blown out head. Her father, with a weak smile on his face, tried to walk toward her but she quickly closed the door and ran out of the window, running into the woods behind her house into the dark night.As she ran, Aidia heard a faint yell of her father yelling, "Get back here you little shit! you can join your mom in hell!!."
She still ran, tears flying off her face and into the night.Aidia woke up as blood flowed from a cut on her leg. She stood up and winced as her feet at been cut and scratched from the fallen branches. The early morning sun shined throw the tree while she walked around the area in which she had slept. She saw a broken down store, (which once was home to couches, tables and other furniture).She suddenly heard a faint rumble in the bushes along with leaves crunching under feet, but dismissed it as a rabbit or a small animal. Her head pounded and she shook while climbing through a broken window and tried not to step in any glass. The heavy feeling of someone watching her was the only thing that occupied her brain at this point. But she dismissed it as just a affect of the shock.
Aidia, being only 12, decided that maybe staying here for the night would be a "good" idea, even though the broken windows and crumbly ceiling had made it dangerous to even touch. Aidia was wearing a dark, thin blue zip-up sweatshirt with a white tank-top underneath. she had jeans on because at home, she couldn't go to sleep so she was going to ask if she could get away from all of the yelling and fighting and go to her friend Jeanna's house. But, she had no shoes, due to not enough time to put any on before she had leaped out her window from her insane dad. The day sped by while Aidia just stared at the ceiling and thinking. All of her mind was filled with excruciating thoughts of what could've happened if she hadn't escaped. "Would she have been torture or shot?" "what if I was caught?" "Why?"
She layed down on a dark leather couch, with a couple holes in the side. Tears, streaming down her face. Her life would never be the same ever again.Her eyelids became heavy and she drifted off. Suddenly, Light blew bright rays into her face, and she slid slowly off of the side of the couch. She got up and limped over to the boarded up door. She sleepily tore off the rotting boards and stepped outside. A figure darted behind her and she quickly turned around quickly. "Who is it!" She yelled but no answer was given. It was a Sunday so no one was in town. She walked down the deserted streets, asfault burning her feet. She knew there was a nearby park across the street from the newly built drugstore. The grass on her feet felt as if she had just stepped on a soft fuzzy mat. Aidia steadily walked to a nearby bench and sat down.
Then, she heard a voice from behind her. A shorter woman with a dark green shirt and black dress pants comes and sits down beside her, and she asks, "where are your parents?" She replied with a shaky voice, "they're dead." The woman had a saddened look on her face. "Would you like somewhere to stay? I have an extra bedroom you can stay in until we find you a home...." She said trying to look at Aidia's face. Aidia looks up at the women with a bright look on her face. "Really? C-can I?" She stuttered as she tries to believe that this is happening. "Y-yes dear... You will be safe now, my name is Diana." The woman said out reaching her hand. Aidia smiled and nodded and Diana and her got in the car and drove to what was her "new" house. The house was a small condo with 3 bedrooms and a bathroom, a kitchen and a living room. " I know it isn't the biggest, but i think you'll like it better than a park bench." Aidia giggled and walked inside. "Here i'll show you to your room." She said smiling and walking down the hallway to the left. Aidia followed her and sat down on the cloud like bed. "Are you okay?" Diana asked.
Aidia just nodded and looked around. Nightfall came and as Aidia started to drift off, She snapped. She looked around in the room and saw needles and a few pins in a box. She grabbed it off the table and jumped to the mirror and looked at herself. Excruciating pain went through her as she stuck needles through her lips. One by one, blood dripped from her mouth as she stuck them in. Her thoughts flooding through her mind. She slowly held up a pin to her eye and cut around the side, not crying, not wincing, not feeling an inch of pain. All she felt was hatred and remorse. She stuck pins, one buy one into were her eye used to be. Needles stuck through her skin on her fingers and out under her fingertips. She suddenly heard a tap on her window. A pale white figure with a smile stitched across the "things's" face. It had a... small clock for a right eye...She stared at her, writing a message on the window. "Time Is up." She opened the window and let the "thing" in.
She lunged at Aidia with the knives and she dodged him and threw herself on top of her, towering over her, as she put her hand on her face scratching it slightly with the needles. Her light blonde was littered with blood as the "thing" tried to fight back. She stood at the door way and looked at him in pure and utter insanity. He walks toward her and claims his name is "Clockwork" Aidia steps closer and she then passes her, jumping out the window and running back to the park. She follows behind and she gets back to the broken down furniture store, she swerves, dashing into the woods.
The last sanity she had left snapped and she broke. She kept running, until she comes to a dimly lit house. Her house. Aidia opens the door to see her father standing there with his feet falling off of the couch, asleep. Slowly, she creeps up to the father that murdered her mother and almost her as well. She stands there. Watching him until she takes 10 pins out of her pocket and stuck them into his face. He suddenly wakes up, grabbing her throat and choking her. Aidia sticks her needle fingers in his eyes and takes the lamp and smashes it on his head. Her father screams in pain and stands up. She then stabs his stomach with her needle fingers over and over again. she then rips open his stomach and says, "Oh im sorry father, I mean... you never used this anyway... " She rips out his heart as he cries in pain.
She holds her fingers up to her pierced lip, needles still sticking out of them. She whispers, "Shhhhhh." She then turns and walks out, Clockwork holding her arm as she walks away, her father screaming in pain as he slowly dies.
