The Obsession (A 'The Babysitter' Fan-fiction)

Chapter 10

Halle's POV

Everyone yells, panicked as Cole and I make our escape. John follows Cole and I up the staircase, trying to catch us. "Come on Cole! Hurry!" I urged him.

John finally catches up with us as we reach the door to our room. On instinct, I turn around and kick John square in the chest, causing him to slip on one of Cole's remote control cars and falls over the railing.

Cole and I rush to the railing and see a lifeless John lying on the floor, our father's trophy sticking out of his throat. Well, I guess mom was right about Cole's cars being a tripping hazard. Though, I've never been more grateful for that.

Not wanting to waste anymore time, I push Cole in our room and lock the door. I push a dresser in front of the door to save more time as Cole finds the sheet rope again and throws it out the window.

I'm pulled from my concentration from someone banging loudly on the other side of the door. "I'm gonna kill you with my bare hands, Cole!" Max shouts. 

I quickly finish pushing the dresser in place then join Cole over by the window. "Open the door, Halle." Max instructs in a soft, but firm voice. I ignore him as I help Cole get onto the rope.

"No locked doors Cole!" Max shouts as he continues to bang on the door. "I just want to talk, Halle. Open the door." I ignore him and climb down the makeshift rope. I hear the door slam open and quietly urge Cole to climb down faster. 

A few moments later, Max sticks his head out the window. "Hey Coley! How's it hangin?" Cole just glares up at him and continues to climb down. I do the same.

Max grabs the sheet and starts to pull it upwards towards him. I immediately let go of the rope and fell to the ground, luckily I'm okay, my back is only a little sore. I quickly get to my feet and call up to Cole. "Cole just let go! I promise you'll be okay!" 

"Please, don't kill me. Please." Cole begs Max. Max just grunts and continues to pull the sheet up. "No! You're going to kill me Now!" Cole shouts. As soon as Cole was in reach, Max reaches out to grab him, but the sheet rips and Cole falls to the ground before Max could lay his hands on him

I rush over to him and check him over to make sure he's okay. "Whoa, deep breaths buddy." Max ays, showing him how to breath slowly before disappearing from sight. Why was he helping the person he planned on killing?

I help Cole to his feet and gesture to the garage and the two of us take off running. "Come on baby! Don't run away. Just give me Coley, baby. That's all I want." Max calls out after us. 

We make it to the garage and quickly hide underneath the car. I put my hand over Cole's mouth to keep him quiet. Max rushes into the room shortly after, looking for us. "Where are you?! Baby? Little shit?" He shouts as he stomps around the garage.

Not seeing us he runs back out of the garage. Cole and I let out a sigh of relief and I took my hand off of his mouth. The two of us slide out from the car and are met with the sight of Samuel. Poor guy. Cole tries to scoot away from the body, but it ends up falling onto with a thud. It took everything in me not to laugh.

Taking pity on my brother, I pull Samuel off of him and put him off to the side. We then start looking around the room, grabbing tools that we think can be useful. I pocket a lighter and Cole fires an old firework.

"Come on, let's go to the crawlspace." Cole suggests and I nod in agreement. Quietly, we sneak out towards the crawl space entrance. I quickly use the drill to unscrew the lid, handing the screws to Cole.

Once they're all out I set the lid off to the side and the two of us crawl into the crawl space. We maneuver ourselves through the mouse traps and over to the tarp on the other side of the crawl space. As soon as we're close enough to the tarp we lay down and throw it over ourselves when we hear footsteps approaching. 

"Is this where you are?" I hear Sonya say, she's probably by the whole right now. I hear rustling before I can hear her breathing. Great. She's in the hole too. 

"Are you right...HERE!" She cries slamming her hand down on the tarp beside where Cole was lying. I reached over and squeezed his hand reassuringly. And only squeezed my hand tighter when a spider crawled onto his head on the drape. I hoped Sonya would just move away, but the spider seemed to catch her attention.

"Good boy. So soft, so pretty." She coos at the spider, while she looms over us, likely petting the small creature. She stayed there for a few minutes, stroking the spider. Thankfully or unfortunately, someone seemed to pull her back to reality. 

"Sonya! Bring your cookies and help me find this little fucker!" Max calls to her from somewhere outside. After that I hear Sonya shuffling away.

Next to me I see Cole trying to flick the spider off of him. I whack him, trying to get him to stop. Unfortunately, Cole doesn't seem to get the hint.

Cole manages to whack the spider off of it and it flies straight into a mouse trap. I hear the loud snap. Shit. I hear Sonya stop moving. Shit. Shit. Shit.

"Hi Cole! Halle!" Sonya greets in a malicious tone and I can hear her moving towards us. 

"Oh god." Cole mutters and moves to grab the firework. I pull out the lighter and hand it over to him.

"How long do you think it will take to find your body down here, Cole?" Sonya asks as she continues to move closer. 

"A day. A week. Maybe til your body starts to smell like cheese." Sonya taunts as Cole lights the firework. The firework goes off, but it doesn't hit Sonya to my dismay. It does distract her though. 

I throw the tarp at her and Cole and I quickly rush to the hole. Sonya moves to follow us, but her hands accidentally land on two mouse traps. She cries out in pain. "Ow! My nails!"

"Halle! Cole!" Sonya screams in rage. I climb out of the hole and quickly turn around and help pull Cole out. Once he is out, I grab the lid and put it back into place. Cole quickly hands me the screws and I screw the lid in place just in the nick of time. 

Sonya bangs against the metal furiously.

"I'm gonna make sure you hurt before you die Cole!" She screams. Hey! Why not me?! "I'm gonna cut your finger off! Every single one! Come here Cole! I'm making myself a human centipede!" 

I look around and see that mom left a can of bug spray out. Not wasting a single moment, I quickly pick up the can and open it. Spraying the liquid into Sonya's eyes. She lets out an agonizing scream of agonizing. Then, one of the fireworks goes off, sending Cole and I flying backwards. Ow.

I sit up with a groan holding my head. Yeah...that's going to leave a mark.

"I'M STILL ALIVE YOU MOTHERFU—" Sonya screams, but is cut off by the last firework going off. Finally killing the crazy bitch.
