A Christmas To Remember

Chapter 5

"But before that , let me finish the story . Just like his parents , Eric is too curious and stubborn for his own good . He found out everything about me , he is a threat and has to be eliminated ! And that's why I arranged for his abduction "
" Where is Eric ? ! "
" Don't worry he is fine . That gives me an idea , why don't I kill him and his friends at thie same time , bring him here Jim "
" Eric ! Oh my God "
" Thank God ! You're still alive "
" Enjoying your little reunion ? Not for long though . Now , you all know the truth about me . Do you know what I do to people like you ? I make sure they do not see the next sunrise and do not live to tell the story  .
Say your last prayers children , night night ! "
" No , please "
" Don't do this Marcus ! "
" Please ! "
" Alright , since it's Christmas season , I am going to be nice enough to allow each of you to say your last words . "
" Okay , I just want to say , Jasmine,     I was the one that stole your lunch in 5th grade  I was so hungry that day "
" Seriously Kelvin ! It was pancakes and bacon ! "
" So that are your last words ! By the way , stealing someone's lunch ! That is just pure evil "
" I am sorry , I was desperate "
" Enough ! who is going first ? "
" This is the police ! Drop your weapons ! "
" This is not possible , no way ! "
" Yes way "
" How ? "
" Well , Cassandra told us everything and then we knew we have to get proof that you are the mastermind. "
" It was all planned "
" Everything you said , your confession was recorded . You have fallen into your own trap Marcus , it's over ! "
" No , it can't be "
" Nice work guys and merry Christmas "
" About what I said Jasmine ,sorry for taking your lunch in 5th grade "
" If you want to be forgiven , you will have to prepare pancakes and bacon everyday for a week "
"Come on ! "
" It's not over ! You ! You're the cause of all this Eric ! You will have to die first "
" No ! Eric ! Watch out ! "
" Cassandra !!!! "
" Oh my God ! Cassandra ! You shot her ! You are monster ! "
" Drop the weapon Marcus ! You're under arrest for the death of Eric's parents , the abduction of Eric Peterson and for trying to kill Cassandra . Anything you say or do will be used in the court of law "
                      °°°°°
" Cassandra is out of danger ! She is safe "
" I am glad it's all over , we can now live a normal life once again "
" Eric ... "
" Before you say anything , I am tired of living in the past , now that my parents killer has been apprehended , I can now move on and be at peace because my late parents have attained the justice they deserve . I am sorry for dragging you into this mess . "
" I am the one that is supposed to be asking for forgiveness , I was not a good friend to you , I didn't know what you were going through all this time "
" But you were always there for me , you never gave up on me and I know you were trying to help me to forget the past and that is what friends for .
                        °°°°
" Cassie ! You are awake ! "
" What happened ? "
" You got shot while trying to save Eric's life "
" Why did you do that Cassie ? You almost died "
" I was the reason you were kidnapped at the first place Eric ,I couldn't let anything happen to you because of me . I'm sorry ... Please forgive me , I had no choice "
" Relax , I understand , anyone in your shoes will have done the same thing you did "
" Marcus and his gang were arrested , it's over ! They will appear in court for the hearing in February "
" And mom ? "
" Oh yes , the police have rescued her , thanks to Marcus's confession to the police , she is at home  waiting . "
" The doctor said you can go home but before you that ... "
" Merry Christmas !!!!! "
" Come on , open your presents ! "
" I got freshly baked brownies here to ! "
" I want some ! "
