When we crumble(#wattys2015)

25.Mom last words

He turned back around to face the road.

"Please. Take me back." I begged, tears in my eyes.

He sighed. "You know I can't do that."

"Why not." I said through gritted teeth.

"Because I have plans for you." He had that smirk in his voice. "Big plans my boy!"

"I'm not your fucking boy. My father is DEAD!" Anger coursed through me. I'm going to kill him.

"You're fathers dead like your mom and you're friends."

"My friends are alive. You just took me!"

He glanced back real quick. "You don't understand."

I kept working on the rope. I felt it get a bit looser. "Understand what exactly. That you're fucking mental because believe me I understand loud and clear."

"Listen you ungrateful bastard! I could've left you there. Better yet I could have killed you. In fact i still can and don't think I'll hesitate for a second before firing the gun into your brain."

"If you were going to kill me you would've left me. And the fact that you brought me only shows that you need me for something and I want to know what it is!"

He remained silent.

The ropes were almost loose. Just a few more minutes.

"We're almost home."

I laughed. "Home. Do you think that we'll be a family. That I'll call you dad and we'll live happily ever after because if you think that then you're more diluted than I thought."

He remained silent again once again.

One of my hands were lose and I pulled it out. Then I pulled out my next hand.

I grabbed the rope that once held me and pulled it around the guys neck. My feet pressed against the back of the seat and pushed.

The car was veering off road when a hand grabbed ahold of my hair and yanked me into the window shield.

A sharp pain erupted in my back and i fell into the other chair in the front. My stomach knotted and my head spun.

"Not again."

~~~~~

I awoken in a bed. A bed?! Mattress. Blanket!

My eyes scanned the room. The walls were made out of a deep dark wood. The window was sealed by something like a screen but entirely of metal.

I stood up. My clothes were gone except my boxers.

Every step i took the faster my heart pumped. I don't know what I'm walking into.

My fingers grasped the doorknob and pulled. My breath hitched.

The room was big. There was a light brown floor with a brown rug and a deep dark table with glass on the center. The walls were like in my room and so were the windows. The room was lit by a lamp and that gave the light brown couch a shadow and on that couch sat the doctor.

"You're up." He looked up at me with a smile.

"Where are we?"

He stood up and opened his arm. "We're home."

He was crazy. I have to get away but I can't. Not until I know what he wants from me. So I have to play along.

"Yes but I'm alone and locked in the building."

He chuckled and walked towards me. "Do you think I'll really let you suffer." He pointed towards a closet. "Get dressed."

I walked in the closet and found a pair of black shorts and a white t shirt. Then I pulled on my shoes.

We stepped outside and the heat hit me. We where on a hillside.

I was led to a similar cabin that we came from but smaller.

"Here." The doctor pressed a cool key in my hands.

I didn't know what i was stepping into. I didn't know what hid behind that door.

Taking a deep breath i pushed in the key and opened my door.

My heart stopped. Ash was holding Chase body crying in a puddle of blood while Rose was huddled in a corner.

Everyone was living in a nightmare. No one noticed me.

I spun around. "WHAT DID YOU?!" Anger coursed through my as i shoved him into the wall.

"I..i um wait i." I slammed him again.

Ash looked up. "He experimented on Chase, thats what he did! He got him fucking bit!"

"I'm going to kill you!"

"Wait!" The doctor pulled out a letter. "Read this first."

I opened the letter.

Dear james, I have so much to say and such little time. You must be in danger if you're reading this. I've tried to protect you for as long as i can and you knowing this is putting you in the most danger you'll ever be. In my blood flows the cure and it might run in yours. This makes you vulnerable. You're a target. Just remember to things. Don't lose hope even in the darkest times it will always be there and mommy loves you.

I looked up with trembling hands and tears in my eyes.

I walked towards Chase and kneeled down.

The doctor cleared his throat. "There's a chance you could die."

I picked up his hand. "Brothers for life."

And i bit him.
