When I woke up the next morning, Chris was gone. I got scared and walked out of the cabin. I looked around for a little bit, then I was pulled to the ground. Someone's hand was put over my mouth. I tried to scream, but then saw it was Chris. He pointed to a figure in the distance, a person. I nodded my head and he took his hand back. The figure came closer and closer to us. I looked at Chris and saw a fear I have never seen before in his eyes. The figure, a man, walked into the cabin. Chris grabbed my hand and squeezed it. He cried quietly. He got up slowly and I did the same. We started to slowly walk silently away, then broke out into a run. We ended up back in my house. I took him upstairs to my room before anyone asked what was wrong. As we ran up the stairs I yelled at Casey to lock all windows and doors immediately. He did as I said without question. When we got into my room I shut and locked it and locked the window and shut the blinds.
"That was Marcus, your step father, wasn't it?" I asked, out of breath.
Chris nodded, tears streaming down his face and squeezing my hand. I tried to calm him down. I hugged him and let him squeeze my hand. He finally caught his breath and stopped crying. he calmed himself enough to talk to me.
"I can't even look at him without the picture of him killing my father. Kayla, I am scared." He said, his voice shaky.
"It's okay. I won't let him hurt you. I will do whatever I can to keep you safe, I promise."
He didn't say anything.
A couple of minutes passed with silence. I heard a knock on the door. I got up to answer it, but Chris stopped me. He shook his head.
"It's fine. I am just going to look through the hole in the door. I am not going to open the door unless it's safe."
He let go of me and I opened a secret flap to see who it was. It was Gabe.
"Go away!" I yelled through the little flap.
"Listen, I am really sorry about yesterday. I didn't mean to..." He yelled back.
"Sorry is meaningless based on what you did to me!" I interrupted him, crying.
"Then let me prove I'm sorry. I won't hurt you. Open the door please."
"How do I know you won't hurt me?"
"You're just going to have to trust me."
I looked at Chris, and he nodded. I opened the door and Gabe hugged me. He had been crying. He had cuts all the way up his arms, still bleeding really bad.
"What happened?" I asked, pointing to his arms.
"Well, see, there was a piece of glass I found and it seemed friendly. I lost my world and I wanted to lose myself."
"Gabe, why would you think that was okay?"
"What was I suppose to do Kayla? What I did to you is unforgivable and I didn't want to live in the guilt and pain!"
I hugged him tightly and started to cry. I let go of him and I walked out of my bedroom, half expecting them to follow. They followed right behind me though. When I got downstairs, there was a strange creature on the floor. It reminded me of a cat, but it wasn't a cat. I was going to get closer to it when Chris and Gabe stood in front of me.
"Please move. I want to know what that creature is and get it out of my house." I said sternly.
"We can't let you do that." Chris replied.
"Why not?"
"It's a dangerous creature. It's a morph." Gabe replied, in agreement with Chris, for once.
