Angela Tears streamed down Angelas face, she did not expect to be hit with such a tragedy. Her parents remorsefully told their daughter her best friend was missing. Sparing the girls poor heart they didnt speak of the other occurrences. She laid in bed weeping; her parents left her to herself. Angela had noticed the absents of Sheldon that previous school day but as anyone would, Angela had disregarded it. More tears flowed down her cheeks as she recalled what she had done. Giving one final sniff Angela closed her eyes only to be met with a restless sleep. Tired and depressed she put on a new dress, grabbed her things and headed to school. She felt a slight tug of anger as she saw everyone carrying on normally. She walked up the steps and sat on the railing studying her fellow peer’s faces. Some kids looked scared, is it possible they got in trouble for bullying Sheldon? Angela wasnt too sure. Her group of friends walked over to her laughing. I cant believe you were friends with that Psycho. Her friend Emily scoffed. Psycho? Who are you talking about? Angela did not understand. Sheldumb! Duh! Cathy butted in. Dont talk about Sheldon that way! Angela snapped at them. Now dont have a heart attack sweetie! You heard about what happened to Sheldon last night right? Myra asked. Yeah, he went missing... Angelas voice wobbled. Thats all you heard?! Andrew cried obviously listening to her group’s conversation rather than his own. Thats all my parents told me. Angela grew worried. What more could there be? Andrew! Don’t tell her! There’s a reason her parents didnt tell her! Cathy hissed at the boy. Oh right your heart condition, sorry. He apologized. Screw my heart! Tell me now! Angela demanded fearing but still needing to know the answer. Andrew and her friends huffed but obliged to her demand. Sheldon went crazy last night... Cathy started. He killed his father…very gruesomely. Emily continued. He then ran out of the house before he could get arrested. Andrew finished. Im sorry Myra hugged Angela. The bell rung signalling school had begun. As children crowded to get in Angela stood frozen. Ill tell the teachers you’re leaving Andrew told Angela before disappearing into the school. Angela nodded numbly to lost to notice everyone had already left. After a while Angela slowly trudged home, getting more upset by the minute. She felt her heart speed up; she knew she had to calm down. She breathed in and out quickly soon realizing she was hyperventilating. She gasped feeling a weird sensation in her chest and fell to the ground unconscious. Angela opened her eyes to see she was in her room; a doctor leaned over her checking her eyes. She seems to be alright now Mr. and Mrs. Belan. The doctor said to her parents. They nodded and sat beside their daughter, the doctor quickly left. What happened? Angela asked groggily. Honey, your fainted. Her mother sobbed hugging her daughter. W-what? Angela was confused. You lost conscious on our front step. her father said softly. But I wasnt even close to our house... She mumbled. Oh Angela my poor baby, I hope you dont have any brain damage. Her mother crushed Angela to her chest. Are you stupid? She just fainted! Her father scoffed. But she could have hit her head! Her mother defended. Her father and mother glared at each other, her father cleared his throat. So, you know about everything that happened to Sheldon? Her father changed the subject. Angela looked at her father tears slowly rolling down her cheeks as she nodded. Her father sighed and told her the full story. He hugged his daughter as she cried into his shoulder eventually falling asleep. Angela awoke and shivered, her window was open. She closed her eyes again and snuggled under the covers. The covers were ripped off of her bed snapping her awake. Her eyes widened as she spotted the shadow looming over her. She instantly recognized the owner of the shadow. S-Sheldon? She could not believe her eyes. Hehe Helloo friend. Sheldon greeted. W-hat are y-yo-ou doing here? The shocked girl stuttered. I came to visit, are you not happy to see me? Sheldon tilted his head and smiled. O-Of course I am! You just s-surprised me! Angela realized the second she saw him he was not the same. Hehehe that is great! You want to know what would be even better?! he whispered. WH-at? She asked reluctantly. If youd join me and be my friend forever He growled and leaped onto her bed a needle in hand. Now Sheldon was her best friend and she felt she could have defended him more but, she was not interested in being killed. She kicked him off of her bed and screamed as loud as she could. She stopped screaming as she heard Sheldon laughing. Silly Angie dont you see? I already dealt with your parents, they wouldnt agree with our friendship. he continued to laugh insanely. Y-you BASTARD! she screamed jumping on top of him and punching him as hard as she could. She gasped and grabbed her chest crumpling to the ground. Now that wasnt very nice, but its okay Ill forgive you...but only this once. He warned playfully wagging a finger at her. Angela only sobbed she couldnt handle looking at what had become of her friend. She opened one of her eyes as she heard rustling, Sheldon was hunched over something. When he turned he was holding two brown buttons. He slowly walked over to Angela and grabbed her chin with a firm grip turning her face towards his. Now this might hurt a bit... He grabbed her eyelashes to keep her eyes opened. She screamed as he dug out her eyes and replaced them with buttons. Come on, smile my friend. He grabbed her cheek and sowed it up into a smile, doing the same with the other. You look like you are in a lot of pain, its that pesky heart isnt it? he tisked. Kneeling down beside Angela he rolled her over. He gave her a reassuring smile and ripped her heart out. Her body clenched up but then flopped down lifeless. Here I learned this recently. Sheldon mumbled incoherent words. Angelas body twitched before coming back to life, she shot up breathing heavily. What did you do to me? I cant see! She cried out. You think I can!? Good thing Ive been to your house so many times! his laugh sent shivers down her spine. His crazed smile soon dropped when he realized his mistake. Well shoot! Ive done it again havent I? He sighed sitting down on the end of Angelas bed. She hesitated before curiosity got the best of her. What have you done again? She quietly asked half heartily hoping he didnt hear it. He turned his head towards her and smiled. Angela, still my curious young friend. I am glad you asked. I forgot to keep your eyes until you could help Me. he sighed and slumped his shoulders a little. Before she could stop herself. Help you with what? she covered her mouth as soon as she asked that. His scarred buttoned lips once again raised into a sick grin. You see my dear friend Ive been learning how to do Voodoo. How else would you still be sitting here with a hole in your chest? Angela gasped and placed her hand where her heart should be. He was right; there was a bloody gap in her left breast. Shock filled her body and she began to shake aggressively. So many emotions ran through her, she couldnt even hear his words. Panic, Fear, Shock, Anger, Agony, Sadness, Depression. The rage quickly over threw the other emotions. Her fists tightened as the anger grew. Her thoughts clouded with cold white rage she reached for the closest object. Grasping the dagger she had hidden under her bed, she turned her head in his direction. Unaware of his mistake Sheldon was defenseless to the assault directed to him. Angela lunged at him blindly swinging and stabbing hoping to hit a mark. She had managed to sink the dagger deep into his shoulder. She smiled in victory knowing she had wounded him. He began to laugh a deep malicious giggle. This gesture raised confusion in Angela. She had just stabbed him why was he laughing? The answer was revealed to her in a few minor seconds as he mumbled a language far from Angelas comprehension. Suddenly she flew back and slammed against the wall. She heard shuffling and a groan as Sheldon pulled the blade from his shoulder. I didnt want to do this but, your little outburst has caused me no choice. He giggled some more walking in her direction. I hoped I could have the old Angie but, it looks like I will have to settle for an emotionless one for now. The dead language held such meaning Angela would never understand. The phrase spoken in this language sent Angelas body into a zombie like state. Unable to feel and only able to take orders, Angela was now helpless to do Sheldons every bid. Sheldon didnt plan to keep her like this forever, just until he could find a permanent solution. Sheldon lifted up her body like he did earlier that day. Hopefully this time he won’t mess up. Soon enough my friend....We will see again. Be My Friend Forever
