Insanity (Jeff the Killer)

Chapter VII

Firetrucks, cop cars, caution tape, and reporters were all around the now burnt house. But the worst detail...

There was an ambulance. And a body being lifted into it.

"MOM!"

Scarlet's POV

I ran over to the ambulance, where a police officer stopped me. "Ma'am, I'm going to have to ask you to-"

"THAT IS MY MOTHER RIGHT THERE AND I'LL BE DAMNED IF I'M GOING TO JUST STAND HERE!" I shouted at the top of my lungs so everyone could hear, before shoving my way past the cop and approaching the ambulence. "What happened, is she ok? Is she breathing, did she get burnt? How bad is it?!" My questions all basically strung together in one sentence, causing the paramedic to give me an odd look. "Is she ok?" I demanded again, slower this time. He averted his eyes. "We can't tell for sure yet... I'm sorry miss. It doesn't look like she'll make it."

I froze. Suddenly my mind went completely except for the ringing in my ears. "She WILL be ok! I don't give a shit what it takes, you will do everything in your power to MAKE her be ok, got it?! I swear to hell and back, if she dies I will kill all of you!"

The ringing slowly disapated, leaving me and a frightened paramedic, along with my mother. I sat down in a chair and gave the paramedic a curious look, glancing around to see what could have scared him. Nothing. Shrugging, I looked back at Mom and felt tears pricking at the back of my eyes. She was already being hooked up to and I.V and had one of those air masks connected to a tank of oxygen.

Suddenly, there was a hand on my shoulder. "Scarlet... I vant you to come vith me." A deep, heavily accented voice said from next to me. I turn my head to see Mom's partner, Erik. He was a transfer officer from Germany. Occasionally, he'll even teach me German sometimes. His normally happy face was reserved, and his chocolate eyes had lost their sparkle. "Es tut mir leid** Erik, but I have to stay with Mom." 

He only sighed. "Ok. Call me vhen you're ready to come home... I'll come und get you. I can pay for a hotel room for tonight und tomorrow ve vill figure out vhat to do."

I nodded slowly, appearing calm on the outside. But on the inside I was already planning a mini party. "Ok, I'll call."

He gave a forced smile and turned to leave. "Auf Veidersehn, kleiner schmetterling."**

"Tschus, großbarin."** I waved to Erik as he exited the ambulence.

 Third POV

A few hours later, Scarlet sat in the waiting room. She seemed... broken. Her long red locks covered her porcelain face, firmly kept as an emotionless mask. Her eyes, grey and blue at the same time, were kept wide open, staring at nothing. Slowly, tears dripped from the corners of her eyes, trailing down her doll-like face and splattering all over her jeans and hands, clenched tightly into fists. Slowly, she pulled out her phone and said in a very shaky voice, "Sie starb.** I'm... I'm ready to leave now." Without waiting for an answer, she hung up and stood, making her way over to the entrance of the hospital.

Brianna Jones was dead. The only family Scarlet had, her mother, was dead. And this was only the begginging.
