Chapter Nine: Secrets and danger.A Chapter by The old meChapter Nine: Secrets and danger. I turn towards the direction of my house but the creatures are blocking my way. And if I go the long way around, they will probably go back and kill Amy. So I decide to get Amy first. Hannah will be safe at my place so I can afford to get her second. I go down the street towards where the creature’s hideout was. I arrive and sneak in. One creature is sleeping and one is sitting facing Amy but not where I would come in. I walk in and go to the back of the creature; I pull out my fancy knife and slip it in this neck. It goes in easily and the creature goes down to the floor in a dark and black bloody mess. What have I done? I have taken a life. I have sinned again. I am surely dammed to hell now. But I have to do what I can to save my future and the person I love. I sneak over to the creature sleeping in the bed. I stab the knife into his chest. He barely realizes what has happened before it is dead. I run over to Amy and get her free. She starts to walk over to where Tommy was killed but we don’t have time for it. I grab her arm and pull her out. She cries the whole time while we are walking to my house. We get near it when she finally stops and speaks to me. “Thank you for coming back to me.” “No problem it was the right thing to do.” I smile and she returns it. I turn my focus to my house. I tell Amy to stay here and I hand her the knife. I run over through my yard and into my house. I go upstairs and check my room. She’s not there. I head to my basement. I grab the flashlight from the kitchen and go downstairs. It’s dark and spooky here. I turn on the light. I use it to search around. I don’t see anything at first. I pass it over the room and I see an outline of a person. I get closer to see what it is. What I see sends me into shock. The light shines over a body hanging from a wooden beam. It’s Hannah. She hung herself. I run up and get her body loose. The body falls to the floor. I go down and try to give her my breathes of life. But it doesn’t work. She is dead. I could have saved her. I should have never left her in the place alone. I could have taken that creature’s deal. I could have tried to get her first. I allowed her to die. She is now damned forever. Her soul is now tainted by the act of suicide. And what about my future kid? The angel told me I needed to protect it, but I failed. I failed Hannah. I failed my kid. I failed the world. © 2011 The old me |
