16: Genuine Panic

..

Enna's pov.

The next day, again, we get up, eat, clean up and get started on our jobs. Today I decided it's too hot to care about the scars on my body so I put on a green, cropped tank top and a pair of shorts just so I could stay cooler.

I know the others will be done before me as I just finished the tidying up before heading out to the horses but that's okay.

I start walking down the gravel path, taking my time and enjoying the scenery. It is beautiful here. Warm, lovely, bright, vintage nearly. It's very nice if you didn't know what was actually lurking here.

I see the stables up over the way but not before Rachell taps my arm.

"Enna. I managed to fix the car, I found all the parts to it!"she beams. I pause.

Shit. How is this gonna work out?

"Oh right okay. That's good! One step closer to getting out of here." I smile.

"Okay uh- we gotta get to our jobs so scream if you need us." She hugs me unexpectedly and then runs off.

I sigh and turn around to start walking.

My steps on the gravel make it hard to focus on my thoughts.

What now? What do I do now? I need to stop them getting out of here or Bug won't have anyone.

I open the biggest stalls door and already notice there's a light string attached to it. I keep it in mind as I grab a bucket from by the side of the door and a pitch fork to clean it up. I walk in and start to clean the stall but before I can, I feel a harsh grip on my hips. I can't seem to stifle a scream so I just let out chesty sobs with no tears. The hands push me to the wall as I clutch the pitch fork, scared of what's happening.

I feel a grip on my shirt as the hand tugs at its strap to take it down. Out of pure terror, I move my hands down the pitchfork and immediately jab it backwards. I hear a groan and run out of the stall, kicking it closed behind me.

With tears in my eyes, knowing who it was, I run as fast as I can towards the house.

I nearly throw myself through the door. Everyone stares at me as I slam the doors and lock them.

"What happened?!" Corpse asks, looking me dead in the eyes.

"K... happened." I say, panting and my heart racing.

"WHAT?!"

I walk over and immediately put my arms out.

"But I'm fine thoug--" I go to say but corpse grabs me, turning me round, pulling at my shirt to check my bra clasp, he pulls my shorts to check they're done up, he checks my face and everywhere else. The only thing left on my were two harsh handprints on my waist. Corpse grabs my shoulders and checks I have both of my necklaces.

"Fuck." Corpse runs a hand though his hair.

"So he didn't get to you right?" Rachell asks.

"If I didn't have my pitch fork I wouldn't have got out. Let's just say that." I say, not genuinely afraid. That was real. Not an act like the rest. That was real. He's fucked the plan over completely.

"Okay no we really need to go. We have the keys, we have the engine working, everything is ready." Sykkuno states

"Okay everyone get packed up." Corpse says. I look at his face with wide eyes. No way he was going to be letting them go. No way! He'd be ruining everything.

"I forgot something in the basement." I say and stomp to the basement door.

I descend the stairs and jog over to the wall.

"Bug! Bug!" I knock on it lightly.

"Mother? Are you alright? You sound distressed." The creature comes up to the closed door.

"I am. I need your help. They're getting in the car and were going. We can't let them leave. K scuffed the plan and tried to get me. But they've fixed the car too soon and the plan has toppled over. We need to stop them going." I say, leaning against the wall, trying to catch my breath.

"Enna! Are you ready?" Rachell calls out.

"Please, Bug, do something." I shake my head in distress.

"Unlock the car, I'll get in the boot, okay mother? I'll help you." He says, opening the wall a little to put his bony hand through. I place my hand on his and squeeze a little.

"Okay let's go!" I shut the door once he puts his hand back. I bear his footsteps run out and I jog up the basement stairs. Seeing everyone in the front room, I aim the keys to the window behind my back and unlock it.

"Okay let me grab my things and we'll go." I run into my room and grab my duffle bag, that's all.

I then sling it over my shoulder and once I catch a glimpse of the car boot shutting, I unlock the front door and run out. The others follow me, running with their luggage.

"Come on come on!" I open the passenger side and get in, corpse gets in the drivers side and the other two get in the back. We're sat so corpse can see me and Rachell and so can Sykkuno.

I hand over the keys and Corpse puts them in the ignition. To the others releif , it starts up.

We begin to speed up the main road and I look over at corpse with wide eyes and a look on my face.

He doesn't look at me. What is he doing? What is he thinking?!
