"We are so going to get caught! Omfg!"
I laughed alongside my friend Marci. Together we ran against the nights soaring winds. Our adeline running high with each stride our feet took us.
"Trust me. We aren't. It's simple. We aren't doing anything bad."
I reminded my friend as I started to slow my speed down.
"If you don't think breaking and entering is anything bad , then there really is something wrong with you."
I rolled my eyes as Marci's comment echoed against the wind.
"You just need to shut up and learn how to live a little."
I smiled my devilish smile as I then grabbed Marci's arm and pulled her to continue our journey back home.
"I don't think spying on someone is learning how to have a good time."
"Alright miss good girl. Let's get you home so you could send a prayer to god to accept your wrong doing."
I laughed.
"Hey ! I am not that good. Do you see me going to church every sunday? I only go once in a while."
And that was all I needed to let out another long laugh.
"Okay whatever. You win. This isn't my type of fun. It's yours."
"Exactly. But there's nothing wrong with turning this into your type of fun as well."
I smiled as an evil plan towards Marci started to form. Only that formation got interrupted as a hard force nearly knocked the wind out of me. I landed on my back which gained a loud thud to over capture the roaring of the wind.
"Ouch. What the fuck?!"
I yelled as I tried to get up. Only for some reason I couldn't as a sharp pain shot up through my spine.
"Uh...i , I , -
"Serenity. Come on , get up! We need to run!"
I jumped a little as Marci's voice of worry awoke me from the sudden force , that still took ahold of my body. I placed my palms onto the hard cold sidewalk. Within seconds I found myself back on my feet.
"Sorry to be in your way. It was a mistake. Please don't
"Shut the fuck up! Move out of my way , if you know what's best for you."
I licked my lips as fury started to capture my sudden pain. I could feel my hands clench and my lips twitch as the fury started to rise within.
"Don't you dare talk to my friend like that. Ever again! Or it would be you that will be on the sidewalk next."
I stopped shaking as a crack broke through the silent night. It wasn't the sound of a tree brach cracking underneath someone's foot. It was the sound of a neck cracking. I shivered as the sound of a neck cracking could cause my hairs to stand on their ends. I licked my lips as I took a deep breath.
I tried to remain calm and steady , only that failed as a loud dark laugh took over the previous nerve racking sound. Only this sound it wasn't no nerve racking. It was frightful.
"Come on Marci. This freak isn't worth our time."
I shook my head as I grabbed my best friends hand. She gripped mine tightly. I could even see the white color shadowing over her pale features. I sighed but then stopped sighing as I started to bring us back to our direction of home.
As I started to walk I purposely made sure that my shoulder collided against his. I chuckled a little as I could feel him fumbling over his own feet. He didn't fall. However something else did. My eyes widened as the sound of crystals shattered against the cement echoed within the wind. Only as a silver light shown against a beaming headlight that turned around the corner, I knew it was no crystals shattering into the night.
I froze , which only led to Marci bumping into me. I didn't fall this time. I turned around to find him glaring down at the glistening item that rested against the cement. I slowly backed up as I found him slowly reaching for it. I could sense the fright that laced over his body , as he was shaking.
"Next time , I would watch your tone with me young girl. I would appreciate it if you could use nicer words than a freak as well. Hasn't your father taught you proper manners? Parents these days. Can't teach their kids anything."
I couldn't move as he stood up. For some reason he seemed taller than what he was just seconds ago. It felt like he was standing tall while I was just shrinking inside.
Who does this kid think he is?
"Serenity. Please. Let's just go home. Before you do something stupid. I could see that look in your eyes."
"What would you like me to call you then? If there ever is a next time?"
I asked as I folded my arms across my chest. Marci tried to grab my hand again but I just pushed her to the side. I started to walk closer towards this kid. As I walked closer I started to notice more things about him than what I did before.
He wore nothing but black. He even wore black sunglasses. As I inched a little bit closer , I stopped as I noticed something else that he wore. He wore blood. I gulped a big gulp as I slowly started to back away.
"You could call me Jason, Jason McCann."
"Okay Jason. You could call me Serenity."
For some reason I stood my ground. I didn't feel small against his posture any more. I placed my hand out for him to shake it. A evil smile formed at my lips as I watched him just stand there with a puzzled look. Even though you couldn't see the confusion that swam inside of him. You could clearly see it through his raised eyebrow. His long hair couldn't even cover that up.
"Come on now. It's not nice to leave someone hanging. Haven't your parents taught you any manners at all?"
I asked.
I didn't back down. Even as I heard Marci gulp I didn't shirk down to her level.
"I do have manners. That's why I am not shaking your hand. You see if I shake your hand I would get blood all over you. You wouldn't want your mothers blood all over your hands now would you?"
"What did you just say?"
I swallowed my worry back down my throat. I can't lose my battle. Not now. Not when I am on the verge of winning , whatever it is that I am even fighting for.
"No need to repeat that my love. You will find out why I didn't want to shake your hand when you get home. Now if you excuse me, I got a mess to clean up and a mistake to fix. Oh and Serenity , don't you worry because there will be a next time."
Before I could even think of anything else to say his shadow vanished from sight. He walked farther and farther back into the night. As he kept walking I couldn't help but to notice the foot prints that he was leaving behind.
"Serenity do you even realize who we just ran into?! This is why my parent's don't allow me outside past ten. It's because of him! Now I can see why. Serenity we need to leave he could come after us , for god sake you gave him your name!"
I shook my head as I tried to shake the anger out of my system.
"Let's just get you home it's been a long night."
I sighed as I started to make the first move home.
We walked the rest of the fifteen minutes worth of a walk towards our house. Thankfully Marci lives two houses down from me. We stopped at her house first since it was the first house on the way towards mine.
"Good luck getting past your parents. Remember don't fall , and text me if you need help."
"Thanks. But just so you know this is prob my last time doing this with you. There's no more chances."
Marci slightly laughed out her worries.
"See ya tomorrow."
I smiled.
I waited until I made sure that she made it to her window in time. Thankfully for Marci her bedroom is on the first floor. Easier to get in, easier to get out. Unlike mine. I sighed as I started to walk.
I kept my gaze on the side walk. Only I didn't get to far as I noticed something that shouldn't have been on the sidewalk. Those same footprints that I noticed before stuck to the sidewalk right in front of me.
"Shit."
I started to run as an unwanted thought lurked inside my head. I then stopped once more as I noticed something off about my two story modern country style house. The small white gate that we got put up to keep our dog Hero from leaving the yard , was wide open.
I gulped as I kept following the bloody foot prints. Then once they stopped I allowed my gaze to travel up towards our door. Which of course was wide open.
I silently pushed it open as I quietly came inside. I started to shake as I noticed the lights were off. I ignored my quivered lips as I tried my best to keep a few couple of breaths. When I felt somewhat confident I closed my eyes and reached for the light switch , which was placed right by the door.
"On the count of three ,
one ,
two ,
three."
A scream left my lips as I turned on the lights. I didn't open my eyes as I couldn't get them to open. Fear forced them to remain shut. I struggled and struggled. Only as I struggled my breathing became more intense.
"Brea...breath..Serenity...brea..you..coul..could..do..this."
I spoke as I tried my best to prepare myself not only verbally but mentally as well. Tears fell down my face as I smashed my head against the wall. With that force my eyes managed to open as the pain from the smash ran through my ears.
I blinked rapidly as my vision kinda blurred in and out. As my vision finally came to , I wish it hadn't. Another piercing scream rang through the walls of my house. I swear if you listened closely you could have heard some of the pictures rattling against the walls that hung on the second floor.
Blood. Blood was everywhere. It dripped from the railings. It dripped from the floor. It even was dragged from the stairs down to the living room. It stained the brown couch. It stained the shattered coffee mug that fell off the coffee table.
I started to choke on my own saliva as I just couldn't get it down.
"Dad?!"
I finally managed to ask as I finally gained enough strength to take myself away from the wall. I quietly walked towards the feet that I saw that was hanging off of the coffee table.
"Harper?!"
I called out my sisters name as I realized that my father was still at work.
No answer.
I mentally cursed as I realized I was home alone. Tears clouding my vision once again. I clenched my fists as I could feel my fingers turning white. With each step that I took a tear fell.
I shivered as I could even hear the tears blending in with the blood. I took a deep breath as I made it just to where I could peak over the coffee table and find out who this dead person in my house is. Only there was one more name to call out. I really didn't want to have to whiteness this alone.
"Mom?"
No answer.
I shivered as I folded my arms across my chest. The sudden thought that I was thinking before came rushing back. Of course it made me feel light headed. I took a deep breath.
I stood on my tippy toes to get a better view. Only I didn't remain standing tall for long as I found myself falling down into the pool of blood that I was previously standing in.
I quickly tried to get up but as I got up I fell again.
"Mom!"
I chocked out.
No answer.
"No, no no no no no no!"
I yelled.
With the final no I smashed my hands into the pool of blood. Then I slowly gathered my self up.
Covered in blood I slowly walked over to the lifeless body.
There she laid. Covered in her own blood.
Her clothes. Where thrown onto the couch. Torn into pieces.
I placed my hands into my hair and tugged at my hair. I screamed. Then cried. Then screamed again. This time as I screamed I fell into yet again another pool of blood. As I lifted my shaking hands I placed them onto my mothers arm.
I slowly started to trace the line of fresh blood that dripped from a wound that rested right where her heart should be.
Wait , what?!
I screamed again as I found my hand falling into a hole of nothingness.
I quickly pulled it out and squirmed away from the new found discovery.
The monster who did this , took my mothers heart!
I found my back placed up against the couch. I pulled my knees up into my chest. I grabbed my knees and placed my face into my hands and just cried.
Ten minutes must have passed by. Maybe even longer. Still chocking on my own sobs I peaked up from the darkness that I placed my eyes into , as a loud bang shook me awake.
I quickly got up and stood to face my father.
His face grew as white as a ghost. His eyes widened as he realized what he was taking all of his surroundings in.
Only as I was studying my father. I noticed something that I didn't noticed before. Behind the door. Written in big bold white letters was a message.
"You wanted an adventure. I will give you one. Good luck."
I squinted my eyes as underneath the item I noticed a big bulky thing plastered onto the wall with a silver knife. My eyes widened as I realized this monster didn't take my mothers heart. He ripped it out of her chest and left it behind the door for all of us to see. The worst part is , he even left behind a message , and a letter. The one single letter "J" was placed underneath the heart.
I turned around as seeing my mothers heart like that just made me feel even more weak. Only as I turned around , I didn't know what was worse. Seeing her body , or her heart? You could also add my father crying over her dead body onto the list.
With full of weakness I couldn't stand anymore. I shrunk low and grabbed my fathers arm. I placed my extremely wet eyes onto his uniform. As he felt me against him he moved his arm off of his wife and wrapped me up into a big hug.
Then before anything else could happen darkness consumed me.
I quickly jumped up from my laying position as I felt an intake of fresh air rush down my lungs. I started to couch violently, but as I coughed I shivered as I felt pain creep down my spine. I closed my eyes and let out a harsh curse as I reached for the water that sat at my nightstand.
After I took a nice sip of cold water I licked my dry lips and smiled.
Water never tasted so good.
I thought to myself as I placed my water bottle back onto the night stand.
I sighed as I placed my palm over my eyes that remained wet. Almost as if I have been crying? Then as a sudden shiver rustled through my hair , it all came back to me. Everything.
I quickly tried to get up. Only I couldn't as my legs where being pinned down. I looked at the end of my bed to find my father's face laying on top of my legs. He rested his head on top of my bed , while the rest of his body sat on top of my rolling computer chair.
"Dad?"
I question as I placed my hand onto his arm.
I shook him gently. Which thankfully got his head to jerk. Then he quickly jumped up. I smiled as I noticed his glossy eyes shinning back at me. He wore a smile that could be mistaken for a child's smile on christmas morning.
Tears started to roll down my red cheeks as I watched him walk over towards the side of my bed. Then just like how I did in my remembrance dream, or flashback , or whatever it is that you would wanna call what I just experienced, I grabbed his arm and pulled him into a hug.
"Dad."
I cried.
"I am here Serenity. It's okay. Your okay."
I licked my lips as I could taste his reassurance.
I gently pulled away but I still hung onto his arm.
I looked him in the eyes before I spoke my next two words.
"I remember."
Was all I could say before the tears came rushing back and clouded my speech.
"Everything?"
He asked through hopeful eyes.
As a child it is said that if you have a bad experience sometimes your memories could be forgotten. I was only twelve when the death of my mother took place. I was only twelve when I started my troubles. I was only twelve when I first met him.
Of course since I was witnessing a lot of stuff my memory just pushed back the most outrageous one of all. The one that I needed to remember. The one that I needed to hold onto just so I could put an end to this. I needed to remember but I couldn't. I have seen pictures and all but that doesn't compare to actually being there on the night that it happened.
"Everything."
I replied.
