Chapter 2 Out Of The Box

As the night progressed onwards all I could do was hear Mirabel panic to herself, as she waited for the doctor to arrive. I heard Arthur walk back into the room “I can’t lose another one.” Mirabel said to Arthur as I imaged his arms wrapped around her.

It was not long before the ambulances arrived and the Paramedics came rushing into the room. I knew this was a pointless case whatever they were going to do to him was hopeless. It was not long before I was hearing Marable yell “He’s not breathing!” 

“Not breathing! “ I repeated to myself. CPR was not going save him and I knew that was what they were about to do. “Let me out, please, I can save him!” I bawled at the top of my lungs. But to no avail they could not hear me. To them my voice must have sounded like ant, humans are just not capable of hearing me. “We have to get him to the ambulances, right now. Help me lift him up.” I heard one of the paramedics say. Then I heard it, the song of horror to all nightmares, the signal that their time is up. The sweet little twitter sound’s the signalling of daybreak. But had it come too late? I wondered to myself.  Panic took over; I heard a sound of a heavy object crash onto the bedroom floor. I heard something heavy being draged across scratching at the wooden floor.  “Such a delectable soul, I will be back tomorrow for the rest.” A whispering raspy voice swept across my ears. Was it talking to me?  Before I could think any longer I was interrupted by “Mirabel cry of joy yelling “stop, I think he’s opening his eyes.”

Although I could not see, I am sure he must have felt a lot of shock waking up to people he never seen before standing beside his bed about to carry him off it. “How are you feeling Samuel?”   It was not long after he woke up that I could hear the marching of feet everyone filed out. The room for what I could only assume was empty now and most likely harmless. In the day time I visualize his room being colourful vibrant blue walls. Not the sad dark mucky blue that they turn to at night. I know he loves to draw. And I just know he's got his drawings hung up all over the walls. And they must be quite good because Mirabel has complemented him many times on them and said “this is going on your wall!” in a really excited voice. 

“You’re never going to sssee what’s outssside this box,Ssstop trying, I gave up a long time ago.”  That dam reptile squeaker was at it again. “Don’t make me pull that bell off all the way this time!” I bellowed across the box.  It was at this moment that I heard someone footsteps getting closer than normal like they were approaching the box. Out of nowhere I found myself looking up at the small ray of light that was now growing wilder as the flaps began to part. Even the toy snake was looking up.  My eye squinted at the amount of light being let inside the box.  Before my eye could adjust to the light I found myself being constricted by a humongous hand squishing my body as I felt my feet elevating off the ground of the box. It was finally happening freedom from this prison was within my grasp.

My face and body reminded very still I would not want to scare him. I can’t let a human know I am alive. It’s a rule we defenders have and all other life forms have. We are all very good at keeping motionless. You would not know it but we are all around hiding in all kinds of different body’s.

Now as I remained immobile and head pointed up as I gazed directly at Arthur my only thought was how gigantic humans could grow. Had it really been so long that I had forgotten just how ginormous a human was?  Arthur looked as though he had a black fussy rug wrapped around his face. ‘He has more fur than me, and I have it all over me.’ Arthur had deep brown bear eyes that looked down on me. His face seemed sad as they gazed down on me. His lips began to part “Hey honey, when are we going throw away this box of David’s stuff. It’s been a year already, besides the only thing’s that remain in it, Is this teddy bear, and rolls dog toy!” he yelled. His voice sounded like one of them mega phones that people yell out of at protests.  “Throw me away! No you can’t! I have to save Samuel from the nightmares! ” I wanted to speak out but I knew it was against the rules of our kind. Was this my future being tossed away to live the rest of my days on the street, to wind up in some old dump yard. Mirabel yelled down the hallway “There a black bag in the hallway just put the stuff in there I’ll take it to the dump later.”
This was it, I felt each one of Arthur’s heavy steps pound away in my ears, as he draw near the black bag. He walked into the hallway I could not help but noticed the huge mirror we passed that hung in the hallway. I saw my refection for the first time in a very long time. It was only for brief moment. But my fur was no longer the glowing light brown it ones was, it was now a dark dusty brown The colour you would relate to as humans call it shit.  There was now just a scar where one of my button eyes used to be. All I could see out of now was just the one eye. My body was getting older that was clear now; maybe I really was too old to be the great defender I once was. 
We stopped walking. My time had come, Arthur dangled me over the bag by my feet and head pointing down. I looked into it's abyss, all I could see was darkness. Just like the box but this time I knew, it was lights out for good. I found myself coming to terms with my fate. This was going to be my grave. After all I had a good run as a defender in the beginning.

Sleeping Defender Chapter 1 In the box

Hey everyone its 2015 ! New year and a new story i promice to finsh this one just not sure how long it going take me, here is the first chapter. Feel free to give me any feed back.

Sleeping defender 

Chapter 1 In The Box 

Your parents have always said. “That it’s just a nightmare it’s not real, go back to sleep.” What if I was to tell you ever night while you are lying fast asleep in bed with them warm blanket’s covering you, making you feel safe. That you put your life in imminent danger that what your parents have told you is a lie. Would you be so quick to jump into them breeding grounds that feed on your souls, that you call beds, if you knew the truth?

Well you might be asking yourself, but I go bed every night and wake up just fine the next day. Your just talking rubbish is what you’re thinking right now. That because what your unaware of is what takes place in the dead of night while you’re pretty eyes are closed. Life and death battles are faced with your worst nightmares. Now, you might be asking. who fights those battles for you? Well it’s me of course; it’s my job to defend you. Well not you but that kid with scruffy brown hair and pale looking face, with those innocent chestnut eyes, who can barely tie his own shoes, his parents call him Samuel, and my name, we’ll let’s just say it’s too hard for your human dialect to comprehend.

It’s my first day on the Job. Well it will be if they let me out this dam cardboard prison. “Hey let me out, He will die without me!”

“Are you babbling on about being a defender again, let it go old timer. How many timesss are you going talk to yourself, No one’ssss coming for you or me?”  Her voice echoed across the walls of the box just as her body did. “Get it in your furry little head! No one is coming! You’re a Hasss been, you could not sssave David and you won’t be able to sssave Sssamuel.”  Her irritating squeaking laugh ratted along with that dam bell on her tail as she moved around.  “Shut it, you reptilian squeaker.”  

I could feel her repulsive foul hiss spray into my face. Her breath smelled so bad it was probably like a sewage system inside that tube tunnel.  She wormed her way back over to the other side of the box, hissing away to herself.  I walk over to the faint bit of light casting though the centre of the box. “How many days has it really been since they put me in this hell?”  I lay down under the faint crack of light, I whisper under my breath David I’m sorry.

I awake to find myself laying in some kind of water. I put my paws into the liquid. I lift them up to the light, my paw’s shake. “No, no, not this, not the blood! Not the blood!”  I put my foot forward already feeling the blood under my feet.  “No please stop!”  I roar at the top of my voice. “David!”  

 My eye shot open to the sound of that rattling bell jiggling in my ears. “I could not take your endlesss ssssleep talking, you old kook.” I let out a sigh, just another nightmare. I thought to myself. I sat up it was pitch black no longer any light in the box.  There were silences other than the normal sound of a snoring child. But that did not last long as it happened ever night. The snoring is broken by a cry from Samuel’s lungs. Tonight though the screaming was louder then it normally was.  I could hear it more clearly than ever before.

My paws bashed away on the cardboard walls one paw after the other. I yell. ”He needs me Please, please, please just let me save him…” I continue to bang on the wall, would it eventually give way?  “Give it up, old bear how many more nightssss are you going to try and get out of here? They are not coming you might as well enjoy your retirement.  It was at that moment I could feel the anger bubbling inside. I felt like a wind up car about to be let loose. Her squeaking laugh arose from her mouth. That was the final push.   

My legs started moving as I let out a loud growl running across the box I charged at her. It was too dark to see her face but I am sure it had a look of surprise as I jump onto her body and pulled at her tail.  “You listen to me you oversized dog toy, I will get out of here, and I will be the defender that child needs! Am I making myself clear!?”  I said as I almost ripped off her bell from her tail “Ow yesss cryssstal.” she said as I heard her as she wiggled over to the other side.

Samuel continues to scream his screams growing louder. Why won’t his parents come in the room? Surely they hear the screaming. I scratch at the wall ones more hoping to break though. But too no success not even a single dent was made. The screaming was only getting louder. How much soul would he have left after tonight?  I did not want to think about it I was helpless to save him. Just outside this box was a sound of rattling. It sounded like heavy metal chains being drag across the wooden floor?  What terrible nightmare was hatching and, inching its way to Samuel bed? Samuel let out one more deafening scream, before the lights flicked on and I heard Samuel father’s deep gruff voice.  “Wake up Samuel, son! Wake up! You’re having a nightmare.” Samuel farther from what I could only guess was trying to wake him by shaking his shoulders.  It was then that he called out “Mirabel, Mirabel!” I heard her rush into the bedroom. She let out a scream. I could only guess at what they were seeing. Most likely his eye lids twitching rapidly and his body writhing. To any parent it would look like their child is having a stroke.  Mirabel yelled to Arthur “Call 999” I knew the truth though it was Samuel soul struggling to stay inside his body as whatever nightmare was trying to collect it looming over his bedside.  

Samuel mother called out to him again and again she tryed shaking him and even throwing water on to him. Samuel would not wake up. He was losing more and more of his soul as the seconds rolled on.I knew there were only two ways a nightmare would stop and that is if I could battle it and win. The other way was holding out tell daybreak. They have to crawl back under the bed when day break's hits. Since I am trapped in here, holding out for day break is all I can do.I could not take it, how much of Samuel would remain after tonight?
