Billy - Part 2

It was when Billy was around three that strange things started happening around him. His mother first noticed when one night she heard a soft whimpering coming from downstairs. She went downstairs quickly when she couldn't find Billy in his room, and there he was in the living room. He stood staring out the window, crying and trembling in fear. He kept pointing at something outside the window that his mother couldn't see. Comforting him, she took him back up to bed. She was surprised to find the birds dead in their cage in the morning and Billy's face riddled with freckles that were never there.

Billy was a silent child, or rather, he was silent when around people. His mother always heard him speak to himself when he was alone and he seemed to have conversations with imaginary people. It worried her a little, but she was convinced that Billy simply had a healthy imagination.

Soon young Billy started school.
