The Game of A Life Time

Chapter 11- Only

*Mature*

The car was in the same spot we left it. Of course, we walked seven miles to find it still intact. Nothing was taken out of it or damaged, I guess they didn't see it as they came onto the property.

The keys were missing though, Carter said that I had taken them out of evidence, but I don't remember that. I don't remember much after I broke into the evidence room. Some parts of me feel guilty or colder, but I know Carter will fill me in soon.

Our shit was in the car and the spare was inside as well. The dumb idea to keep it in there was held over my head. I wasn't thinking straight, the idea came from a movie we watched the other night.

It was in a movie for a reason... Carter hasn't talked to me for the past hour as we walk to the hotel. Another twenty minutes and we should be back there, my feet are killing me and I feel gross.

Dirt, blood, and sweat built up all over me making me smell. I tried to get it off, but it dried up to fast and now I am cold.

It shouldn't be this cold out here. My phone says it is seventy degrees, but it feels like forty. My adrenaline high is crashing and I don't know how much further I can go.

We are back in town but are unsure about the police and what the people know. The temptation to run into a restaurant to see what people do is tempting, but Carter won't allow it. He is the level-headed one, right now.

His arm is wrapped around my shoulders trying to keep me warm as we round up to the familiar street we have lived on for the past week and a half. My time here has been limited, but I have honestly fallen in love with this little town.

I am worried about Carter... His burn wounds have been healing nicely, but I have a feeling there is more to it. His words or sentences have been very vague. No meaning t them at all.

The entity could have something to do with it, but I am just going to leave it alone for now. He knows that I love him and that I plan on staying with him.

Even though we are together, sometimes I feel alone in this. There is so much we don't know and so much pain we have endured that there is something awful going on. We have each other, but sometimes it feels like we are only here for one reason.

The entity's punching bag...

I know that Carter and I feel differently about the entity. We have experienced different realities and not to be a bitch, but I am literally psycic... I know more about this stuff than he does, one hundred percent.

With the entity, I feel somewhat at peace knowing there is something out there causing havoc. At least the knowing part is claiming, but the realness is scary. Seeing the shapes, colors, and haunting traumas that it causes is heartbreaking. There will never be a time when I will forgive myself for adding to the flames, but that is why I keep going.
