BEYOND FROM MANSION

SCARS AND BLOOD

I heard creak on the floor down and a groan naming me.

We rushed as fast as we could. Jennie carried a torchlight along with her. We were up.

On the ceiling in the way to her bedroom, she pulled down the handle that was hanging up.

"OH"

"It's the attic"

She pulled down the ladder and got climbing. I heard the creaking nearby. I lost my controls. I was paralyzed.

"Abel!!"

"What's wrong with you?"

I tried to hold the ladder, but my head ached. Jennie pulled my arms up and I got feet on the ladder. I climbed and she closed the way.

The attic was dark too, except for the torch lights.

It was too fast. We didn't have time think to or to plan how to kill a dead.

It was quiet in the attic. There were old stuffs, a dollhouse, some mannequins and lot more including books.

I slouched on the wood and she sat in front of me, shaking the torchlight.

In order to send the dead back to death, it must be cremated.

I clicked my tongue.

"Jen, we need to burn him down?!"

She gasped and nodded.

"Uhm"

"That's a good idea"

"He'd be turned into ashes and we can later dispose him"

"Cool!"

"How are we gonna do it?"

I tucked in my lips and buried my face on my knees. I was thinkin'.

How can I burn him? If I pour petrol on him and burn him, the whole house will be burnt. He was stronger than me after all.

But I've something even stronger-JENNIE and my mom's love and Katie and Caroline.

I gotta do this for them.

Jennie patted my head and raised my chin.

"I've gotta a plan"

The attic started banging. I was palpitating. She rushed up.

"His main focus is on you! You distract him so that I can go to the kitchen and I can grab a cloth, some petrol and a lighter"

"I'll burn the cloth and I'll spread it on him"

"That will be enough to kill him"

"If not, we'll pour more"

I nodded and responded quickly. But my body wasn't ready.

My scars pained. All the scratches on my body ached and hurted. I felt like burning myself. My legs were weak to stand. I dropped my body down.

Jennie startled. She pulled me up.

"What the fuck is wrong with you Abel?"

"Don't get weak now!"

I teared up.

"It's not me Jen.."

"He's doing something to me"

I moaned and groaned. My eyes puffed with tears.

I gotta do this at least for my mom.

I gotta do this at least for my friends.

I gotta do this at least for me.
