 Unknown

Written By:Wesley J. White

Have you ever seen a being that you’ve never seen before? I’m guessing you’re going to say yes but the thing that I saw wasn’t anything that anyone has ever seen with human eyes. Right, that's not how you start a story so let me start from the beginning; My name is Edward and I have a little bit of a hobby of reading paranormal things and actively going out and looking for it.

I’ve never told anyone before because I was too scared of what they would say about my hobby. I’m fifteen, high school sophomore and kind of a loner. I don't get along with the kids at my school, the only beings that I'm friends with are the spirits that I talk to at night.

The first time I saw a spirit was after I read this book called “How I met my murder.” It was about a woman who got killed when she was twenty-eight and came back and met the man who killed her. At the time that I read this I was nine. It piqued my interest and instead of me wanting to meet the writer I wanted to meet the woman who was dead, so when I got home I went back to the book and found the place where she died.

That night I left home and traveled two hours to Charlotte.

Once I was there I searched everywhere I couldn’t find that place. I decided to head back home before daylight broke and had to head to school. It was at 4:05 a.m. when suddenly a van drove past me. They saw me and turned back around. The moment they set their eyes on me, I felt every bone in my body telling me to run, so I hurried to the woods. While I was running in the woods I stumbled on a couple of branches but kept running so they wouldn’t catch me. I couldn’t think of anything to do at that moment but to just run. My legs were getting tired, so I looked back to see if I lost them but at that moment one of the guys caught up to me. He grabbed my shirt and was trying to pull me back to the van that he was in.

At that moment everything went dark.

I continued to run, but I felt something strange touching me. She spoke, but I didn’t hear anything but her name before I blacked out. The next morning I p only remembered the guys and the name of the woman from last night. She said her name was “Lisa.” That's the only thing I could think of while at school, Lisa, the woman who saved me.

I wanted to see her again.

I remembered in the book I read her name was also Lisa. When I went back home I decided to go back to that book and read it again so I could get the description of what Lisa looked like, so I knew what to look for tonight. In the book it said “Lisa was a woman age twenty-eight, height 6 '11”, voice was deep but sounded kid-like, she was a skinny woman with long hairy arms, but her hand was soft. She loved wearing sun dresses, she liked wearing open-ended shoes, and loved wearing hats.” The moment I read that I knew that it had to be her, I wanted to see her again so to do that I needed to do the same thing as last night.

When 12 a.m. came around I was going to go out again, but before I went out I heard a voice coming from behind me. I slowly looked behind me. I thought my parents caught me. As soon as I looked back I saw a woman who was 6 '11”.

She told me, “I don't think that’s a good idea to leave this house again, not at this hour anyways.” I fell to the ground not believing what I was seeing or hearing. I couldn't find any words to say to the woman I was looking for all night.

When I got the courage to talk I said, “How can you be real you were in a fictional book what do I even call you?” We both looked at each other as she thought about what she could be called. Finally, when she thought of it she said:

“ You can call me Lisa, but I’m not human nor a ghost. I'm an unknown being who has no reason for living.” She told me how she got there and what she was planning on doing while she was here. She was also wondering why she appeared here in this world, not in the world of Unknown beings.

She told me, “I’m not the only Unknown being here. These little books y’all are reading are making us, we don’t need a human to survive any more we are more than a character, we are a new species.” The moment she said that it opened my eyes to the life that the Unknown people were living. I wanted to meet more of the Unknowns and become friends with them like I did Lisa because I noticed something with Lisa’s story; if they are now living we are the cause of them living a horrible life. I knew that now that they are here they’re lost. The only purpose they have is to go after the people who made their lives horrible. I came up with an idea maybe I can use the Unknowns to help out people just like Lisa did with me that night. As the night went on me and Lisa were talking. Not too long into our conversation, I fell asleep.

The next morning she was gone. While I was getting ready for school I was looking for her and where she could possibly be. I looked for her all around the house. I wanted to see Lisa one last time. What if that was the last time I would ever see her? When I couldn’t find her I got on the bus and went to school. While I was at school I came across a book that piqued my interest. It was called “Off Air.” I got the book and started reading it when I got the chance. It was lunchtime, this was the only time when I had a chance to read it. I got my lunch and headed to the bathroom to eat and also read the book. 5 minutes went by, and suddenly I heard voices coming inside the bathroom. A group of boys came in making a lot of noise. They were looking for me. They knew that I would be in the bathroom because I didn’t have any friends. I hated the fact that I was one that they always messed with if only I had one friend they would stop messing with me. Those boys come to me every day to steal my food and all the money I had on me. The leader of this group was Chad.

I've known him since kindergarten. He's also been picking on me since kindergarten.

One by one they went to each stall opening the door looking for me until they came across the stall that I was in. They climbed over and under the stall door to get inside, once they were in they began to ask me questions.

“What’s that book you got there that looks special to you, wait don’t tell me… it’s one of those weird books again come on Edward you haven’t changed in the slightest.” Chad asked. The others followed his every lead saying:

“It seems you knew that we were coming so you didn’t get anything good for us to eat. It seems you need to be taught a lesson on getting us good food.” All of them got close to me as I was trying to read my book.

 “Y’all can have the food and the money. I already know that’s what you came for, so I’m saving you the trouble today so take it and just leave me alone” I said flustered. Right when I said that one of the boys slapped the book out of my hand and told me to go pick it up before it got ruined. The moment I got up Chad kicked me in the gut and asked me who I was talking to, they didn’t give me a moment to respond before they started jumping me in the stall. Chad grabbed me by my hair, while one of his friends proceeded to cut my ear like he was going to cut it off. While the other two took turns breaking my fingers and toes. The last boy in the group stood there watching them not doing anything to stop them. When they finished they picked up the book and threw it in the toilet the other boys left after that, and it was just me and Chad. I was a bloody mess. My whole body felt like a pack of lions came to kill their prey. I couldn’t move a muscle. I hated Chad. I thought I was used to his beatings but this time he and his friends went overboard. I can’t walk around the school like this. Everyone will be looking at me, and I'll look like a bloody monster. With all my fingers and toes broken and my ear all cut up. Some of my hair is missing as well. I want this to end. I want Chad to never mess with me again.
