THE ALPHA TOY
EPISODE 1
EMERALD'S POV
"Pack the things into the house, we will be there tomorrow by nightfall" my dad replied over the phone as I packed in the boxes inside a big apartment with the help of the driver. We had to move over to a new town at Mexico after dad was transferred to a new site for work, but then we were already used to changing houses every damn year because of his type of work. "Sweetie, promise me you will be fine" mum's worried voice filled into my ears from the phone. I seemed to understand my mum more than anyone else, she was always worried and scared because of the nightmares I always have.
" You know that we want nothing more than to be there with you but we have to clear out some important stuff at the office" she added. "Yeah sure" I rolled my eyes, "duty calls" I mumbled. Dad took in a deep breath before speaking "Em, take care of yourself, make sure you wake up early for school tomorrow, everything has been arranged". I hummed in approval and dialed off the call, staring at the large apartment in front of me which gave me the creeps. I couldn't imagine my parents would do that to a seventeen-year-old girl. "How the fuck am I supposed to sleep all by myself in this big apartment in a new town? What if those monsters from my dream appear and try to hurt me again? I shrieked my dress in fear as I stared into the house.
The interior design had killer vibes, "maybe being here isn't too awful." I muttered with a low hiss, I found my way into the living room, I haven't been alone all by myself since I lost all the memories of my childhood. "Ma'mm, I'm leaving now, have a good stay. I am done with the cleaning" the old cleaner smiled exposing two dark brown teeth in her mouth. "Alright thank you" I gave my warmest smile. "Oh! Don't forget to keep your light on at night" she said. Fear gripped inside of me as the knowledge that the monsters from my dream must have found me again. "Is there any other dangers that I should know?" I turned back for answers but she was already half down the lane and couldn't hear me. How the heck did she go that fast? I did a quick tour around the large mansion, it was big and spectacular. There where three rooms and I deliberately picked the one I felt was the best and less creepy.
AT NIGHT
"Who knows a guy may actually fall for you?" My best friend Tracy chuckled still applying her cucumber face scrub over the video call. Tracy was the direct opposite of me. "You are delusional". I hissed. "Come on Em, you have to promise to tell me everything that happens at school tomorrow". I rolled my eyes, "Yeah, sure but don't expect much I'm pretty sure nothing will happen!". No matter what I tell Tracy she just wouldn't believe me. She waved me bye and I muttered some silly words under my breath before ending the call. Standing up from the bed, I felt really bad and I decided to go for a walk, it wouldn't hurt to see around. Although it was woods only and there are no nearby houses, I walked through the thick woods with my eyes faced on my phone, Candy Crush was my best game ever and I couldn't miss a single candy!!
"Grollllwwww!" My heart skip a bit and I stare at the huge white animal in front of me. It was smearing and glaring, its gaze directly boring into my eyes. " P..please don't hurt me" I stammered, I stared backwards. My entire body was shivering at the beast in front of me. I took two steps back, then three. The beast stared at my legs as if monitoring my moves. I just need three counts to run. The beast took one step towards me. "One" I counted in my mind, I noticed the eyes of the beast were blue. "Two" the insisor of the beast came out in an aggressive manner, like it was counting to lurge forward on me. "Three!!" I took off my pace to roughly running through the woods back to the house. At first it felt like it was following me, my heart almost fell off my chest, I did a little dance as I sited the house. I ran inside banging the door behind me, I bolted it, putting on the light as fast as I could. I looked out through the window still trying to know if I was being followed. "What the fuck was that?!" I held my chest trying to control my breathing, this was going to be a really long night.
