School Of Death

#9

" Here, I'm going to need you to hold this. Can you do that for me? " I hear Ray tell the little girl, as he ties his jacket around her and around me.

Harvey stares out the window watching for even the slitest break in the storm. " Get ready to run, " he says taking a breath, " NOW! " he throws open the doors and I book it.

I don't even know where the other guys are, I just know I have a little girl on my back who needs to get home safe.  Feeling her holding tightly around my neck, I bring my hand up to brush branches out of the way, and look at her address I made us right on our hands. I brush away the last branch and my heart just drops.

I quickly tuck the little girl down so she can't be seen on my back, " Hello there little girly. " a man says with a creepy smile widening on his face. I hear something and the man quickly jerks his head to see behind me. To his surprise, and mine as well, Ray and Harvey come walking up to us, fighting with each other.

" Sis! " Ray yells out as he runs up to me, " I'm so happy I found you! " I some what understand what their doing and start to play along. " Are you okay? Your boyfriend said you two got in a fight. "

I look beside him at Harvey, " I'm fine. It was more of an argument. " I say with  sly smile, " Right babe. " Harvey smiles and nods. We all look at the man in our way, who is now holding his gun. He lifts his eyebrows at us and steps aside thinking we're just some regular old teens with drama. I nod as we walk past him, and the boys cover my back so the man can't see the girl.

Not sure if he followed us or can still here us, we continue to talk like we live in the little lie we had just made up. With his voice real low Harvey says, " I think we're almost there, she lives at 3809 and this is 3804, so we must be close. " I look around for her address and casually walk across the street. 

" Here it is. " I say grabbing the little girl off my back, I squat down to look her in the eyes, " Does your mom keep a spare key out her anywhere? " She nods and walks over to the door and comes back with a key. " Thank you. " I smile and Harvey picks up the little girl, as we all walk to the door.

I put the key in and open the door, all the lights are out and the house looks all nice and clean. I step inside and Ray and Harvey follow close behind me. We start walking to the bedrooms and here a man say, " Don't come any closer I have a gun. " Putting my hand up Ray and Harvey stop, and I move in slowly with my gun at the ready.

" Are you Mr. Bevan? " I say softly. " We aren't here to hurt you or anybody else, okay. "

"Then what do you want? You want to take my family, my daughter? " He replies sadly, but strong.

I motion for Harvey to come up and stand with me, " Sir, my name is Kesha and I just can from Southeast, I brought your daughter. " The man walks out of the doorway and stands in front of Harvey and I. " The school and everyone in it is in danger, sir. Since you don't live that far from the school we brought her home away from the danger as best we could. "

Harvey handed the man his daughter, and step back next to me, " Thank you so much. I already lost her mother to an accident such like this, I couldn't lose her to. " He paused and gripped his daughter tightly in love and relief, " Is there anything I can do to help. Please, I know what its like to be in a situation like this. "

Ray comes up from behind us, " I know you want to stay and protect your daughter, but do you by any chance have any other guns or knifes? "

The man walks throw us to another room and reaches into some sort of drawer, " Here, " he hands back a couple of knifes and some ammunition, " I know its not much but that's all I can spare. " He shrugs as we put away the weapons.

" Thank you, this will do us much good. " Harvey responds to the mans kindness, " We best head back, they're gonna need some help. " 

The man walks us to the door still holding his daughter, we nod our heads with sad smiles wishing them both a silent farewell. We quietly start walking down the sidewalk all thinking our own thoughts, then Ray stops and Harvey pulls me behind a small building. Harvey puts his hand over my mouth as if he knew I was about ask what he was doing. " You again. " I hear the same creepy deep voice as earlier, " Where are the other two? "

" Oh, I was kind of hoping you had seen them. My sister and her stupid boyfriend always sneaking off together. " Ray chuckled a little.

" I'm afraid I haven't seen them. " the creepy man laughs a little to, " But if I find your sister you'll know. " he paused again. " You would know the sound of your sister if she was having a good time, now would ya. " I could only imagine the smile he had on his face, and the things he wanted to do to me. 

" Well you have a good night sir. " I here footsteps walking in two different directions, and both of them eventually fade away.

" Found You! Hehehe! " My heart rate speeds up and I think it might kill me.
