The Life Changing Vacation

~Chapter 93~

Kristina's POV
The next day, I woke up and went downstairs around 10:00 am.

"I had a nightmare.. again", I told Joanna.

"Oh sweetheart, I really hope they're disappearing soon", she said.

"Oh really? You're the one who's forcing me to kill all these people.. you do it because you want me to suffer, don't you?", I asked.

"That's not true, and you know it", she said.

"I'm only 15 years old!! These memories are gonna haunt me forever!!", I yelled as I grabbed a knife and tried to stab her. But she grabbed my hand.

"Did you just try to kill me?", she asked seriously.

"No no.. I didn't", I lied nervously.

"Stop lying to me", she said as she slapped me and then she dragged me into my room and locked the door.

I was laying in bed crying, but suddenly she came into the room with a knife. I quickly got up from the bed. I got afraid.

"Are you going to kill me?", I asked.

"It depends on you.. if you still don't regret what you tried to do then I think you know the answer", she told me.

"You told me you wouldn't kill me no matter what", I said.

"Well, that was a lie.. I would do anything to survive myself, you know", she said.

"You're psycho", I said.

"I'm just looking out for myself, Kristina", she said.

Joanna was quiet for a few seconds and then she told me what she said a few days ago: that every step I take has consequences. They can be good or bad.

"What does that mean in this situation?", I asked nervous.

"This", she said as she cut three deep cuts into my arm. She locked the door and I had no towels.

"Are you insane? I'm gonna bleed to death!", I yelled.

Dory's POV
I overheard everything. I loved to stay here, and I loved Joanna and Alex. But it has gone too far. Kristina might have died if I didn't do anything. I had to call the police.. I loved staying here, I really did. But I was afraid that something bad would happen if I didn't call 911.

I snuck upstairs to my room and I called 911. Suddenly, Joanna stood there. But it was too late. I had already called for help.

"Shit", I whispered underneath my breath.

"Did you just call the police!?", Joanna raised her voice.

"What do you mean?", I asked.

"You told someone the address!!", she yelled.

"I ordered a pizza", I lied.

"Yeah, of course you did.. I saw you got nervous when I came downstairs after I talked to Kristina", she said.

"Talked to Kristina? She fucking screamed", I said.

"Dory, tell me what you've done", she said.

I didn't answer. She grabbed me, and tried to choke me until I told her everything.

"What the hell are you doing?", I asked.

"All you have to do to make it stop is tell me everything", she said.

"Are you really gonna torture me until I tell you that I called 911? You already know it for goodness sakes", I said.

"That's right, but I want you to tell me that you did", she said.

"Alright, fine! Can you let me go?", I asked.

Suddenly, we heard the police cars.

"Oh god no", Joanna said as she took me into a closet and then she went to get Kristina. We all hid inside the closet. Joanna held her hands over over mouths.

I tried to hint that it was hard to breathe.

"Breathe with the nose!", she whispered loud.

Suddenly, the police left. Before they left we could hear one of them say "probably some kids joking". Joanna pushed us both out of the closet.

"You idiots!! Now I can't let any of you leave the house again.. now that I know I can't trust you", she said.

"Please..", Kristina begged.

"No.. don't.. just shut up, I don't want to hear it", she said as she went downstairs.

Joanna's POV
At the evening, I was crying alone in mine and Alex's room. Suddenly, I heard someone knock on the door and Kristina came in.

"I know you're hurt", Kristina said.

"Kristina, get out", I said as I wiped my tears.

"No.. I don't want you to feel lonely or something", she said as she hugged me.

"You were trying to kill me", I said.

"I'm sorry, I were out of control.. I would never actually kill you.. or maybe that time, but I'm glad you stopped me", Kristina said.
