Chapter 6
"EDWARD!" Andy yelled out from just inside the gates. She knew he probably couldn't hear her from all the way up there, but it was worth trying. After pausing for a second to catch her breath, she took off once again, glancing behind her, seeing that the stranger was still chasing her, and holding a knife.
"Oh, come on!" She mumbled to herself, still furiously running.
If I can just get to the top of the hill...
Andy thought even though her mind was a frightened mess. Then Edward will know what to do.
Thinking this, she doubted herself. The man wasn't very talkative, and quite shy.
Andy ran faster, her legs pumping harder and harder through the dead plants inside the first gate. She could hear the man crunching his way through behind her, an air of evilness came about with him.
The frightened girl now saw what she had wanted to see since she left the house; the second gates that lead into the castle. She dared a glance behind her while swiftly trekking up the hill, and saw that the man was still at the bottom, struggling to keep his pace up the hill.
Andy finally got to the gates, her lungs gasping for air, and her heart rapidly beating. She leant with her full body weight against the giant door, and it inched open. She stumbled inside, once again surrounded by the beauty of the garden sculptures.
"Edward?!" She called out, walking hurriedly through the hedges to the spot where she found him before.
Edward was there, sure enough. He looked more scared than other times, and Andy didn't have to wonder why.
"Thank goodness!" Andy said in a rush. "I'm being chased by a man with a knife - we have to hide somewhere,"
Edward just blinked at her, then his attention caught something just behind her shoulder, and he whispered: "Andy..."
Suddenly Andy felt a sharp blow in the back of her head, and she fell forward into Edward's scissors as he tried to catch her in a panic.
Everything went black.
