The Revenge Killer

"- and then he grabbed her and..." my aunt said. I gasped as I gripped onto my blanket like it was my savior. "And he... he... tickled her so much that she couldn't stop laughing," she said and started tickling me. I laughed and snorted. She laughed as I laughed. "Okay honey time for you to go to bed," she laid me down in my bed and tucked me in. She gave me a kiss on my forehead and turned the light off. "Goodnight auntie," I said. "Goodnight sweetpea," she said and closed the door.

I woke up and wanted some water. I went out of my room to get a drink of water. As I go down the stairs I hear the tv is on and it sounds like the news. I walked down and went to get a drink of water and then I hear. "Breaking News," from the anchor. I walked into the living to see what was going on. 

"The serial killer by the name Revenge Killer has been caught. Police have been searching for the Revenge Killer ever since the killings started in late September. When police arrived at the scene there was a shoot-out. 2 officers are in critical condition and are at the hospital right now. We do not know the names of the officers, but we will release that information when it is available. Now I'm sure you are wondering who is the killer? The killer turned out the be a teacher at the high school here in Willow Hills, Bernard Clair. He would lure his victims in with a trap or kidnap them and when he had them alone he would kill them. As you may or may not know he did have a motive for his killings. Police believe he heard stories or information from his students and that would help him decide how to kill his victims or torture them. He is now on his way to the county jail with no bail and we are waiting to hear when the hearing will be," the anchor lady said.

I heard the front door open and I saw my mom come in. "Hey honey, shouldn't you be asleep? What are you watching-" she said and looked at the tv. "Oh no!" she said and changed the channel fast. "How much did you see?" she asked. 

"That man killed those people?" I asked. 

She sighed and hugged me. "Yes, he did. But now the cops have arrested him," she said, "Where is your Aunt Meredith?" 

I shrugged. "She tucked me in, but I don't know what she is," I said. She sighed and nodded.

Then the phone rang. My mom got up the answer it. "Hello?... What?.... You must be mistaken she is here at my house... Are you sure?.... Yeah, I can... Thank you. Bye," she hung up the phone and looked at me. "We need to take a little trip into town," she said shakily, "Here sit here and watch some cartoons while I pack a bag for you". I heard my mom running between my room and hers. I sat and watched Tom & Jerry.

As we sat in the hospital waiting room I was coloring in my color book in the chairs. The doctor came out. "Wilson?" the doctor said. "Yes?" my mom said. She went over to the doctor and I just watched them. I saw a look of relief on my mom's face. "Come on baby," she said to me, "This nice doctor is going to take us to your Auntie," she said. I packed my stuff and took my mom by her hand. We went into a room and I saw my aunt was hooked up to a machine.

"Auntie?" I said walking up to the bed. I grabbed her hand and I felt her squeeze it.
