Let Them Wonder

Chapter Six

   "Deena slow down!" Sam chased after her. "What are you doing?" I grabbed Deenas  shoulder. "Just walk, fast." Deena directed. We finally reached the ambulance. "Thank god you guys are safe!" Kate sighed in relief and made eye contact with me.

   I smiled a bit and looked down at the ground. "We need to leave." Deena said, hopping into the ambulance. "I think we should stay. we're safe here. What if that psycho shows up again?"
Sam spoke out. "Then we'll be ready." I pulled out the stolen gun.

   "What the hell?! You stole the officers gun?!" Josh exclaimed. "Avery what the?!" Sam was confused, she didn't see me steal the officers gun. "Did you really steal it from him?!" Sam raised her voice. "Fuck yeah she did." Kate smiled.

There was a moment of silence.
"Where the hell is Simon?!" Deena looked around.
We heard a voice from behind us, the same voice Simon heard.

   Simon grunted as the lady singing attacked him and pinned him down on the road. He tried to get her hands off of him. She lifted her knife up and raised it above his chest. He grabbed her hand and tried to restrain her. He pushed her arm onto the ground and he screamed. She got back up and tried to slice his throat.

He wrapped his hand around her throat to choke her, unfortunately monsters don't die.
She was about to stab him right in the chest until,
BAM!
A gunshot went off.

It got her right in the back of the head which caused her to fall. I laughed, "bullseye!" I lowered the gun down. He screamed in fear. "Simon come on!" Kate signaled him to get up. He slowly stood up and started running over to us. We all starting running back to Deenas house, which was far from here. "Let's go, let's go, let's go!" Simon screamed. Sam just stood there, she saw the lady get up, she was alive...

I turned around and saw Sam wasn't moving. I ran back, "Avery what are you doing?!" Kate yelled. "Sam come on!" I grabbed her hand and we started sprinting down the street. We heard the lady singing again as we bolted away.

We finally arrived at Deenas house. "This doesn't make sense! It's not possible.." Sam explained, throwing herself down on the couch. "Well now we know, bullets didn't stop her." I sighed. "Who the hell was that?!" Deena stomped over to Simon. "How the hell should I know? She..she was hot! I don't know! The bitch seemed normal!" Simon walked away. I slapped the back of his head, "this is serious douchebag!" I raised my voice. "Well, she was hot and normal until she attacked me with a fucking razor blade!!" He barked back.

"Wait. What..a razor?" My eyes widened.
"Yeah, for like old-times shaving, or in this
case, I guess, slitting her wrists." Simon
explained. "Wrists. She slashed her wrists."

Josh added on. "Was she singing something?!" I stood up, Me and Josh knew who it was. "Yeah, was she singing like an oldie song?" Josh asked Simon. "How the fuck do you two know that.."

Me and Josh ran over to a cardboard box and pulled out a newspaper snippet. We all sat down at the table. "This is Ruby Lane. A long time ago she slashed her friends throats open at a party, later that night she killed her." I explained. "Holy shit! That's the chick who attacked me!" Simon pointed at the paper.

"Then why didn't we see this on the news?" Kate asked, yanking the paper from Simon. "Because it happened 30 years ago." Josh said. "1965." I mumbled. I ran back over to the cardboard box and grabbed more snippets. "Ruby is one of ShadySide's killers, just like the Skull Mask." I threw the papers on the table.
