Chapter fifteen 2
Stella.
Aaron decided to spend the night with her in the hospital, he couldn’t leave her alone all by herself, he got some extra blankets from the nurse, Aaron decided to sleep on the couch so Stella would be comfortable on her bed. It was five minutes past eleven, Stella ate her dinner and was planning to sleep. She switched off the lights and adjusted her blanket.
“Good night Baby” Stella said to Aaron who was adjusting his blankets.
“Good night, remember if you need anything just call my name.” Aaron said.
“Okay.” Stella said with a smile on her face.
The room wasn’t dark, there was the lights from outside was reflecting into their room, Stella was happy that the lights were making their room a little bit bright., she hated staying in very dark room. She took a glass a water and drifted off to sleep.
1:30am.
Stella was fast asleep when she felt a hand softly shaking her, she shifted in her sleep trying to ignore the touch, she thought it was Aaron because he had the habit of waking her up to join him for mid night snack.
“Stop it Aaron, I want to sleep.” Stella said in a sleepy voice, but the hand kept shaking her softly. “Aaron seriously I want to sleep leave me alone now.” She said but the hand kept shaking her. Stella opened her eyes in annoyance, She stood up wanting to shout at Aaron when she saw him sleeping on the couch, he was fast asleep.
“Aaron.” Stella said with the thought that he might be taking the sleep. but she got no answer from him, he truly fast asleep.
“Aaron stop joking, I know it was you that woke me up” Stella said again but she got no answer.
“Aaron it not funny, your busted now just wake up.” Stella said but still no answer. She tapped him softly trying to wake him up but all effort went in vain, she stood near the couch trying to wake Aaron when she heard a familiar laugh, the laugh she heard before she fainted.
“Who is it?.” Stella asked with fear written all over her face. But she got not answer but a laughter. “Who is it?, You better stop or else I will call the cops.” Stella shouted. This time the laughter stopped.
Stella knelt near the couch trying to wake Aaron again. “Baby, I think there is someone here you need to wake up.” She said while trying to wake him up but he didn’t wake up.
Stella was still trying to wake him up when she heard a footstep, the footstep became closer and closer, She turned but didn’t see a soul. “Baby you need to wake up I really scared, I need you right now, wake up please.” Stella said again while trying to wake Aaron but he still was not waking up.
The footstep became closer and closer until Stella could feel a presence behind her, she could feel the breath, she could hear the thing whispering, she didn’t have it in her to turn, Stella was too scared to check who it was?.
“Oh Stella, Won’t you turn and see me” The creepy voice said to her.
“Aaron please, I beg you please wake up I need you right now I really do. “Stella said with tears in her eyes, she had no idea when she started crying. Next thing she knew Aaron held her hand tightly, he slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were black completely. Stella screamed loudly, Aaron kept a tight grip on her, he was going to injure her, he tightened his grip more and more.
“Aaron stop you are going to injure me, Aaron don’t do this.” Stella said but Aaron maintained his grip on her, he didn’t left go.
The creepy voice whispered her name in her eyes. “Stella, Stella, Stella, Stella, Stella, Turn Stella Turn.” The creepy voice whispered in her eyes.
“Turn, turn” The voice kept saying. Stella shouted her lungs out, her eyes were full of tears, she was shivering, her left hand was bleeding, Aaron was still holding her tightly, his eyes became more darker.
“please stop, I beg you stop.” Stella said, She let out a loud scream.
“Baby, are you okay?, Please wake up.” Stella heard a faint voice, she slowly opened her eyes to be met with a baby blue eyes, Aaron was standing next to her bed.
“What happened?”. Stella asked.
“You were screaming, You shouted and you were begging some one to leave you.” Aaron said.
“I was?” Stella asked.
“Yes, Did you have a bad dream.” Aaron asked.
“No! I don’t know I can’t remember anything.” Stella said while putting a hand on her forehead.
“You don’t?, I was really worried.” Aaron said.
“I’m fine baby, come on go and sleep.” Stella said while giving him a weak smile.
“Alright.” Aaron said while kissing her on her forehead. He went to the uncomfortable couch and laid down.
Stella had no idea what he was talking about, She didn’t feel as if she had any bad dream, She felt really tired as if she hasn’t slept for days, she turned a little bit adjusting her position on the bed. She was really sleepy, she yawned one more time and drifted off to sleep.
Morning arrived earlier than Stella could think, she woke up feeling as if she hasn’t slept for days, she was so tired. Aaron was laid beside her, his arms were spread on the couch, he looked like a jelly fish, Stella left out a laugh. She can’t help but think about what happened last night? How Aaron was worried? She didn’t remember having any night mare, everything felt strange to her, last night, the fact that she fainted but she can’t remember what lead to that? Or what happened before she fainted. She stood up from her bed and went into the bathroom, the bathroom was small maybe a little bit small for one person, once she was done with her business, she walked to the sink to wash her hands, she heard the sound of flushing, The toilet flushed on its own, maybe she is just over thinking she thought, it could just be an imagination she tried to convince herself, when she heard the sound again she turn around only to be met by no one.
“Twinkle Twinkle little star.” A small creepy voice whispered into her ear, the voice sounded familiar.
“How I wonder what you are?.” The voice whispered again.
Her heart pounded twice faster, she tried opening the door but she couldn’t, she wanted to scream out to Aaron so he could hear her but she can’t, she felt a tight grip on her neck as if some held it, the hold became tighter on her neck.
“Save me mommy.” The voice whisper shouted.
She tried opening the door one more time but it didn’t open so she hit it hard with her hand so someone could hear the noise. The sounds of the beating on the door filled the bathroom, the sound of her heart beating was the only the she heard, she tried opening the door one more time and this time it opened without any struggle.
Aaron was still fast asleep, she tried to understand what just happened? It all can’t be an imagination. It has to be something. Her minds wander off to the past trying to recall where she heard that voice? But all efforts
Soon the doctor arrived with her discharge papers, he confirmed notting was wrong with her or her baby but she just needed to be careful and make sure she isn’t stressed.
