I screamed realizing the mistake I had done. I could feel his heart beating in my hand. I saw the boy lying lifelessly but with not a single drop of blood. Suddenly a force pulled me toward his body.
I opened my eyes and found myself lying on the path. I felt life again, I felt blood running through me, I could feel myself. I was on cloud nine. I ran towards my home not thinking of anything.
'It was a dream,' 'I'm alive.' All these thoughts were running in my mind. I reached the door and rang the bell multiple times not stopping for a second. Mom opened the door with her eyes red. Tears were not coming out anymore.
'Yes?' she managed to speak something. Her voice made it clear that she wanted to cry more.
'Mom it's me,' after hearing the word Mom tears came out and weren't stopping. Dad came and held mom tight.
'Dad stop playing this joke,' I begged.
His condition was no better he yelled, 'Who are you?' ' We're already going through hard times,' and he slammed the door.
What was wrong with them? I walked toward the window to see them walking in the den again. To my surprise I saw police officer sitting with them. They were discussing something. I was confounded.
I moved back and for the first time I noticed. Something is different. It wasn't me. I looked at my hands and touched my face. I was in the body of that boy.
I heard the door opening and found the policeman coming out. He wore his cap again and walked toward his car which I didn't notice earlier.
'What are you doing here Rodrigo?' said the policeman.
First I didn't realize he was talking to me. He repeated again and I just remained silent.
'Whatever,' 'You kids don't tell us anything. Come I'll drop you home.'
I had no choice other than following him to his car. I was sitting silent just lost in my thoughts trying to understand exactly what is going on.
What is the task that can be done by me? What can I do? How the hell I took over this body?
'You are so quiet today. Is everything okay?'
'What happened at that house?' I noticed for the first time that my voice has changed.
'Poor people. Their son died..'
'Wait what? How?'
'We have no idea. The girl claims he was murdered. But when we reached there was no blood found. Doctors couldn't find any reason too. Never heard of something like this before.'
All the memories were rushing in my mind. Mr. Cocoa, the accident, the knife. This time I felt the pain. I felt all the emotions in my body.
The car stopped and I saw a house. I just opened the door and ran inside not saying a single word.
The house was quite big and empty. Maybe no one would be home. I climbed the stairs and saw a label 'Rodrigo Castle-Don't Enter' on a door.
I opened the door and slammed it hard. I'm dead, I killed some boy and I've to something that I've no idea. All these thoughts were breaking my heart. I jumped on the bed and cried...
