The Hands of Death

Sophie's Death

"1 and 2 and 3 and 4" screamed Sophie, the dance director. 

She was getting frustrated because these kids couldn't figure out the simple dance she created. She sighed.

 "You idiots it is swing, snap, rock, what so fucking hard to understand monkeys could do better" I can feel the grey hairs coming in she thought as she retaught the dance for the fifteenth time.

 It was getting later and later and Sophie had to get home to go to her pageant the next day.

 She then said," Okay look I have to go home and get ready for my pageant so go home you

shit heads, and don't come back until you get it right."

 She then sashays out of the gym and her driver is waiting outside with the door open. 

When he sees her he says " good day Miss. Sophie, are you ready to go?"

She replies with "Yes thank you, Marcus, let us go'' 

Sophie gets in the car and Marcus closes the door once Sophie is buckled in and goes to the driver's side and gets back in the car. 

The interior of the car is all leather black with silver lines.

 The silence is broken by the buzzing of Marcus's phone in the cupholder.

 Sophie looks at the caller I.D. and it says "Scorpion"

 Sophie thought that sure is the weirdest name I've heard. 

Marcus looks at the caller and looks taken aback and even a little frightened. 

Marcus looks at Sophie and says'' Sorry Miss. Sophie but I have to take this call after we can leave immediately."

 Sophie turning beet red says " Hell no Marcus my pageant is in 30 minutes get back in the car and take me home NOW!"

 Frustrated Marcus gets back in the car and starts to drive but he starts making wrong turns just one at first then two and three until they are completely lost.

 Sophie then says " Marcus what are you doing you have us lost where are we going?"

 Silence... "Marcus, where are you taking me?"

 More Silence... Sophie, starting to freak out, looks through her back to get her phone but then she realizes she left it at home to focus on the pageant. 

Sophie is about to cry when the car stops. 

Her being relieved that Marcus stopped the car Sophie then says

 "Marcus give me your phone so I can call my Dad." 

The phone starts to buzz again with the caller I.D. of "Scorpion'' slight Hesitation in his actions, he picks up the phone and says "hello?" 

The other person says something but all Sophie hears are muffled yells and at this point, she is shaking from fear.

 He then says "I have the brat" he takes a glance at Sophie and sees her frozen in shock by his words "Should I take her to the warehouse?"

 More muffled conversation can be heard and some screaming.

 He then hangs up and with impeccable speed knocks Sophie out and she never wakes up again long enough to realize she was going to die anyway. 

The only time she could clearly see something was a beautifully pale boy, maybe a little too beautiful.
