A Little Bit Of Hell

Chapter 9

Rue's POV

xxxxxxxxx

I get up, grabbing the closest thing to a weapon I can find, which so happens to be a pair of scissors. "Stay here, dial 911 but don't call. If I scream come down."
"Wait, what?!" Charlie jumps up, but I walk out the door. I walk slowly to the stairs, peering over the railing to see what had made the sound. The window had broken. "Shit." I swear under my breath. I was hoping something had fallen, and made the sound, but no luck. Something moves out if the corner of my eye. Next thing I know I'm pinned to the ground, face to face-actually more like face to mask-with... honestly I don't know. A man... I think. He wears a blackish blue hoodie-exactly like the one I am wearing-and a dark blue mask without a mouth or nose... His eyes... Just empty black sockets with a black liquid dripping down his mask... blood? No. To black. I roll out from under him and stand up, trying to find the scissors I dropped. he lashes out with a small blade, inches from my face. I attempt to push him down the stairs. but he grabs my neck, and we both go down. "RUE!" I hear my name being called as I fall. We hit the cradenxa. He's on top of me again, with my jumper riding up showing my bra. I kick, but he has his hand on my stomach, with the small blade-which I now know to be a scalpel-pressed against the left side. I struggle, and he slices through my skin. I scream, and turn the blade back on him, driving it into his right shoulder. He makes a raspy grunting sound, the hand that he used to cut me shooting to rip it out. I kick as hard as I can at his face, throwing him back a bit, but his scalpel slides across my thigh in the process, and flies across the room. I ignore the pain, and continue to struggle to get away from him. I roll onto my stomach, trying to crawl away, but he's on my back, holding my hair. I scream again, and I can hear the other three screaming as well. I manage to stand up, and run to the kitchen to get a weapon. I went for the knife, but he grabbed the back of my neck, and in attempt to throw him off we both went through the large full length window near the door. I scream as the glass tears through my skin. The man gets up, and looks as though he's about to hit me, but he stops, and even though he has no eyes, I can tell he is looking behind me. I look behind me to, and see Charlie pointing or dads old 45. at him with shaking hands. I look back and he's running into the trees, leaning forward farther then a normal person. Theres something about the way he runs, its almost... animalistic.
