The Streets 2

Chapter 10: Corey's house

Catriona, Corey and Arthur found their way out of the trail once again.

Arthur went over to the lamp post to the left and held on to it while he re collected his breaths. All of that walking and running has made him drain out all his energy within him. 

Catriona took a look at the rose again in the bag. Unbelievable. 

"So... the next victim..." Catriona added.

Corey gulped with fear, dread and deep emotion. He knew what was coming next. 

"My... my... my-" Corey stuttered and struggled to speak it out.

"Oh." Catriona said and walked over to him and gave him a reassuring hug. 

"Take your time. Or don't say it. You already told us about your tragedy." She spoke softly. 

Corey stepped out from the comfort zone surrounding him. He took several moments to adjust to the next stage of the plan. The house. His house. Where his daughter and wife was...                       Corey tried not to think about how they died. He remembers it so well. He cannot forget it.

"Come on man." Arthur said.

"I- I guess- I guess it's time we headed towards my house." Corey spoke out. "We'll not walk it this time." He said. "We'll head back to mine, collect our cars and we'll follow you to your home village." Catriona said. 

"Th... Thank... Thank you." Corey spoke, trying to put on a pretend smile, despite how impossibly difficult it is.

Time skip

As Corey got back into his car, he sighed and took out a bottle of water he had placed next to his seat. He took a tiny sip and took it away from his mouth. The substance was probably boiling hot since it was in his car for god knows how long. He started the engine and drove off, followed behind by Arthur and Catriona.

Catriona's car

Suddenly...

A flashback totally hit his mind.

...in the hallway... Corey can see her. The woman. "Cat..." Corey muttered anxiously and whispery. The lady observed him for a short period. Then... she went up the stairs.

"No..." Corey said cryingly. 

Then... the door opened. Corey went in close to the window and started banging on the surface. Kerry woke up to see Corey shouting and gasping at her, looking all scared and petrified. At first, she had no idea what he was doing. But then, as she turned round, Cat's eyes was glowing red. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Kerry screamed. "AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Corey shrieked as Cat took Kerry by the legs and started dragging her off the bed. Then, Cat snatched Kate who then squealed her head off. "WAAAAAAAAAAHH!" Cat slapped his daughter across the face, leaving bruises and marks. Then, she pulled the both of them both out of the room and down the stairs. Corey was panicking and crying, he literally couldn't breathe and slide down the roof of the shed. He injured himself on the knee but he wasn't concerned about himself. He was concerned about Kerry and Kate's life. Then, as he reached the back door, he spotted Cat throwing the pair of them against the wall. Cat turned to see Corey watching him. He could hear his wife and daughter crying in dread, fear and sweat. "CAT!" Corey shouted, but she didn't hear him. "STOP! LEAVE THEM ALONE!" He cried as Cat smiled towards Kate and Kerry. "DON'T TAKE THEM! TAKE ME!" Corey shrieked with anger. Cat turned her attention to Corey. "I SAW YOUR NOTE! JUST TAKE ME! I'M STANDING RIGHT HERE!" Corey exclaimed furiously and fearfully.

But then...

Cat bit into Kerry's legs and ripped them off. The blood was spilling out of the flesh from his wife and drained down the hallway. Cat grabbed her head by the force of her power and torn it off. "MOMMY!!!" Kate cried. Cat went in to the kitchen and took out a knife. A very sharp knife. Then, she returned to Kate, armed and ready. She then threw the weapon into Kate's chest which jabbed through her shirt and into her heart. Cat opened up 7 mouths of teeth and then bit off the rest of Kate. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Corey cried as Cat ate up all the pieces of his family. "NO! NO! NO! NO!" Corey shrieked as he stamped his foot several times. Clearly expressing his fury. "WHAT THE FUCK DID THEY DO TO YOU? WHAT THE FUCK DID THEY DO TO YOU?!!!" Corey squealed. And then... Cat disappeared.

"AH!" Corey shrieked as he pulled his car away from the kerb... almost directly driving up onto a footpath. He turned on his indicator to turn left. He took a quick glance in the car mirror. Both Arthur and Catriona was still following him. 

10 minutes later

Corey pulled in to his left to the footpath. He pulled on the brakes then turned off the engine. Slowly, and steadily... he got up out of his car. He locked the car and looked up to his house that stood before him. Where it happened. Soon, both Arthur and Catriona pulled up along the path and turned off the engines. They got out of the car and walked over to Corey. He continues to stare at the house. Then, he slowly pulled out his keys. They all went in through his garden to the front door.

Corey turned the keys as slow as he could... almost like a snail. Then, he slowly stepped foot into the property. His property. Where the incident happened. 

"She killed... the both of them here. Directly... here." Corey said and pointed to the corner.

"Then the rose has to be somewhere... around here..." Catriona said as she began to navigate the house. 

Arthur stood beside Corey and then rubbed his back. "I know how difficult this is for you." He said and patted him instead. "It's..." Corey stuttered. "Take a deep breath. Take a deep breath." Arthur encouraged him. Corey decided to decline the obligation. "I had a flashback. While I was driving." Corey said. "I'm so sorry mate." Arthur added weakly. "And it contained the part... where I seen the bastard take away my love!" Corey exclaimed as he banged his fists against a wall. "Hey... Hey..." Arthur said as he wrapped his arms around him. 

Corey and Arthur's hug was then interrupted. "I found them. 2 roses this time." She said as she held them up. "Yeah. Because she... she..." Corey spoke... then bursted into tears. "Killed them both. The two of them." "That's probably why there are 2 roses." Catriona added. 

"alright. We'll have to go to another place to find another victim." Catriona said as she went to the door. Corey stayed behind for a bit. "We'll wait for you while you... look around." Arthur said, implying he would go around the house one last time. But Corey shook his head. "I..." Corey said then silence disturbed him. "I can't stay in this FUCKING house any longer." Corey said and went on out the door. He took out his keys from his trousers pocket and locked the door. He stared at the door momentarily... then he walked away. He locked the fence gate and took one last look at the house. His eyes were filling with tears. Corey wiped them away and got back into his car.
