The Secrets Behind the Heart

Chapter 31

My heart pounded a million times a second; and so did my head.

"What? Is Brynn a little SCARED?", Samantha stomps her foot forward pointing the knife at me.

I nearly fell off the bed and the psycho laughed heartily. Usually, im not the person to get scared easily while watching movies and such. But, THIS !? It nearly made me faint again.

"What do you want?", I tried to sound calm as possible. Through my cracked voice, it was obvious I failed.

"Oh, nothing... Just hand over your brother and you'll be fine."

"Brother? What the fuck are you talking about crazy psychopath?"

"Im... not... CRAZY!", Samantha stabs the bloody knife on a water bag. Some gooey water landed on my arm.

As she closes her eyes to relax herself, I tried to figure out an idea on how to get myself out of this damn jail cell. I looked around until I found the jackpot; the fire alarm.

I quietly slid out of bed and ran towards the wall. Before I could even make it, I hear a gun shot. My ears nearly bled.

"Not so fast, green eyes.", I quickly turn around to see a gun pointed at me and a broken ceiling light.

"What did you do to Max? What the hell do you want from me? How the hell are you still alive?!", my head swirled with cursed words and questions.

"Well someone isn't so bright; is she?"

"Shut up and tell me or I pull the alarm!"

"You pull the alarm, I pull the trigger. Isn't this game FUN?"

My heart pounded. How can anyone NOT hear this?

"You didn't know about your brother did you?", the girl was a maniac. I had no idea what she was talking about. I was always born an only child and my parents never mentioned a sibling to me so this can't be true. Either way, it left me curious how she would know about my personal life. Stalker...

"Well OBVIOUSLY.", I gave her a straight face. She gave another heartily laugh and gave a wide, toothless grin at me.

"You two are twins, how can you NOT find out?"

My mind swirled. "Who is it?"

She sits down, still pointing the shiny, metallic gun at me. "I'll leave that for YOU to find out."

She charges the gun. Before she could say anything else, I pulled the alarm. Several loud rings ran through the whole school. I found a massive bucket of baby powder and spread it all across the floor. The room filled itself with "fog". Some people charged inside the room and took her away. I felt two strong hands cradle me in their arms and walk me out.

**

Screaming students charged out the school. My head pounded massively. The tall black figure placed me back down on the grass, getting an icepack and water. As the "fog" faded, I found Simon looking down at me. I guess I was laying on his lap. As I tried to sit up, he didn't say a word.

I remembered what had just happened back at the nursery. Tears filled my eyes. I turn my head to see Simon with a shocked expression. I guess he found out what had happened. His blue eyes glistened and I couldn't help but hug him tightly. I felt his hands wrap around my waist and play with my hair.

"Its going to be okay. I promise.", Simon gives me a slight kiss on the cheek.
