As soon as I went in the house, Ray was standing in front of with an face that could send the Devil crying for his mommy. "Where were you?", his controlled voice scared me more than if he would have screamed. "Uhm, th-the skatepark.", I studdered, my head low and my eyes peeking up at him. "Why did Erebus come back alone?", he asked, pointing to the dog in question. Erebus whimpered, head hanging with his tail between his legs, the picture of guilty submission. He knew I was in trouble, so he was in trouble to. While I was trying to think of an excuse, Ray's eyes zeroed in on my bloody hands, then flickered to my bandaged knees. His right eye twitched once, then he lost control. "What the h*ll did you do to yourself?", his voice spiked with worry, making it squeaky. I would've laughed if it weren't directed at me. "Erm, well, auh, uhm, hehe, I was skating, and a, well, a, uh, a squirrel jumped, and erm, hehe, I umm, you know, didn't wanna-", I was making little hand signs while I spoke until he cut me off. "What happed?!", his voice squeaked again. "I-I didn't wanna kill it so I kicked the b-board off to the side and I fell.", I closed my eyes when I finished, scared to see his reaction. "Fine, just get cleaned up and go to bed.", he sighed, sounding tired. I ran up to my room, pulled off my shoes and shoved my bag into a corner. I went to my closet and changed into a big, dark grey shirt that went down to my knees. Then I went into my bathroom, brushed out my hair and brushed my teeth, changed the bandages, and went back out to my bedroom. I turned off all the lights exept for the lamp next to my bed, grabbed a sketchbook and a pencil then sat on my bed. I wasn't really sure what I was drawing until I was finished. What stared back at me was definately going to star in my nightmares. It was a perfect picture of Henry, in the middle of a firey car wreck, dead, with his body mangle and his eyes staring blankly back at me. I shivered, shoved my 'art' stuff away from me, snapped off the light, and cocooned myself inside my blankets. I closed my eyes, and I saw the wreck start all over again, but with a different victim.
