The Monsters In The Night

Chapter 12

Max Was Tangled Through The Trove Of Trees Trying To Find Raymond Quite Worried For His Safety Hailey And Aisha Following Closely Behind Him Ducking The Cobwebs Stretched Out Between The Trees, It'd Been Forever Since They'd Seen Raymond Only Stopping To Get Water From A Creek If It Was There.

''Max! ''

Aisha Placed Her Hand On His Shoulder Her Eyes Soft.

''We Need To Turn Back.. Please We Need To Do This Another Time It's Been Atleast 4 Days And We Are Running Low On Supplies ''

Max Shoved Aisha's Hand Off His Voice Bitter And Cold

''No, We Aren't Stopping, I'll Starve Then Rather Let Ray Be Forgotten ''

''He Isn't Going To Be Forgotten Max... We Just Need To Prepare Ourselves For A Longer Journey.. We Can't Eat The Berries From Bushes That Hailey Picks Forever And There's A Low Chance Of Finding A Creek In This Part Of The Woods...Right Hailey? ''
They Both Turned To Look At Hailey But She Was Nowhere To Be Seen, Panic Spreading Across Max And Aisha's Bodies Like Waves Of An Ocean

''HAILEY!?!''
Aisha Began Shouting At The Top Her Lungs In A Panicked Tone , A Pathetic Scream. Max Clenched Aisha's Shoulders Firmly Looking Deeply Into Her Eyes.

''Shut It! Look At Me . Your Going To Attract Beasts You Can't Let Your Emotions Get The Better Of You , I'll Go Left And You'll Go Right Got It?''

Max Had Faith In Finding His Half Sister Aisha Nodding Forced To Rely On Max's Expertise To Find Her Girlfriend, And They Then Hurriedly In A Haze Of Terror And Desperation Charging Through The Creaks And Bushes To Find Hailey. The Loose Branches Scraping Againt Their Bare Faces.

Max Panted Bent Over His Hands Pressed Against His Knees Looking Up His Greasy Hair Draping Over His Eyes Seeing A Misty Clearing, Like An Invisible Barrier Approching It Cautiously Reaching Out For It With His Fingertips Before He Turned Sharply Rushing Toward The Horrifying Screech From Across The Forest Where Aisha Was But Before He Got There It Was Too Late.

''GET OFF HER GET OFF HER GET OFF HER!!''

Aisha Scuttled Away Cuddleing Hailey Who's Lips Were Rosey Pink Her Cheeks Fading Of Colour Fast , Thick Blood Oozing Out Of Her Arms Where It Seemed Like A Silky Silver Lining Had Cut Deep Into Her Flesh, The Cuts Were Everywhere His Limbs Weak And Barely Able To Move A Thick Cut Alined Across Her Neck The Liquid Pouring Slowly From It Like How They Poured Poisoned Wine Into A Cup And Slowly Drank , Their Mind Slipping Into Unconsciousness Their Soul Frollocing Around Being Free From A Human Host, But This Time Hailey Was The Outsider.

Max Grasped His Crossbow Shooting The Vial Beast In The Eye Scaring It Off As The 8 Legged Creature Rapidly Ran Screeching In Pain, Max Felt His World Spinning Gravity Pulling Him Down To His Knees His Hand Loosing Its Grip The Crossbow Making A Soft Rustling Sound As It Hit The Leaves His Vision Blurred Staring At Nothingness , Hailey Cradled In Aisha's Arms Aisha Shreiking Not Wanting Her To Leave Ever.

''PLEASE HAILEY PLEASE YOU PROMISED YOUWOULD STAY WITH ME !!! I SAID I WOULD BE THE FIRST TO GO NOT YOU!!''

Hailey's Eyes Drifted To Aisha's Sofening As She Peered Into He Wide Glassy Eyes The Light Dazzling In Her Eyes Unable To Speak Softly Speaking In A Small Whisper.

''I Crossed My Finger During That Part, Knowing How Weak I Am, I....Knew I Would Be The First To Go..''

''But Hailey Your Not Weak...''

Aisha Felt The Wet Blood From Hailey's Neck Brush Her Body Her Eyes Gaining More Closer To Empty, Aisha's Face Crumbling As Max Knelt Over Dumbfounded Knowing He'd Failed His Job At A Brother, A Gaurdian, He Was Supposed To Protect Hailey But, Couldn't, He'd Lost His Only Family.

''Maybe We Can Visit That Flower Feild We Always Talked About, With All The Yellow Dandelions...''

''Yeah..Someday..''

They Both Smiled Softly At Eachother Aisha's Tears Streaming Down Her Face Like A River Leaning Gentley To Hailey's Face Softly Kissing Her Rosey Lips Before The Life And Energy Realsed From Hailey's Eyes Her Body Becoming Fridged Her Hand Dropping To Her Side Aisha Tears Drowning Her Eyes Leaning Up Inhaling Before She Let Out A Deep Whail From The Bottom Of Her Lungs. Letting Out All Over Her Overshadowed Greif And Despair, Something Max Couldn't Bare To Hear And Understand.

After What Felt Like Hours Aisha Dropped Hailey Gentley To The Floor The Blood Drenching Her Hands, She Covered Her Eyes Sobbing Uncontrollably Wanting To Wake Up From The Nightmare She Hoped She Would Never Have To Live. Max,Dazed By The Fact His Sister Was Gone Got Up His Knees Shaken As If He Couldnt Hold Up His Body, Walking With A Posture Of A Zombie Walking Around As Aisha Sat Their Feeling Hopeless Rubbing Her Eyes Which Were Red And Wet From Tears.

''What Are You Doing..?..''
Aisha Said Tearfully Her Looking Up From The Body Staring At What Seemed To Be A Pile Of Flowers In His Hands , Dandelions Daisies All Sorts. Containing Her Tears As He Placed The Flowers Prestigiously Around Haileys Cold Body Taking Her Wrists Gentley Placing Them On Her Stomache Sliding The Flowers Directly Into The Palms Of Her Hands Grabbing Aisha's Hand Pulling Her Off Her Feet Turning To Her Before He Held Her In His Arms Aisha's Legs Giving Way Beginning To Cry Into His Shoulder Hiccuping.

''I Promise..We Will Kill Them All...''
