When Life Strikes

Chapter 13- RUN!

The last man went out to see what was taking his friend so long. He checked everywhere in the back garden but was nowhere to be seen. His thoughts turned to thinking that the man was working on something mechanical. He peeped through the window to see the biggest shock of his life. A body laying dead with the note.

He rang the ambulance straight away. A paramedic shown up within minutes. A woman. She gave the sorrow news that he had sadly passed to the other side. The paramedic's thoughts turned to the events a few years ago. She approached the last male and asked, 'It was exactly to this date a few years back that I found a young girl quivering, bleeding out on the side street next to your house do you know of her whereabouts?' He shook his head and began to wonder.

There was a knock on the door. The last male excused himself to see who was knocking. A woman was at the door. He asked her 'Are you okay?' She replied, 'I'm cold and hungry.' He invited her in to get warmed up and made the woman a sandwich. In her bag were two unusual pieces of equipment. The paramedic shouted through, 'I'm sorry for your loss!' As she walked through the house to the back door she caught a glimpse of the woman. She recognized her. The woman smiled and greeted the paramedic.

Moments after the door closed and the man's back was turned a whisper in his ear said 'Let's go upstairs?' He chased the girl upstairs. She used her sex appeal on the third man. 'You get ready i'm just going to freshen up.' The woman returned with the 2 pieces of equipment dressed in her underwear. She asked the man to turn around. He did so with no hesitation. 

The woman whispered again in his ear 'RUN BOY!' This time the man got to the bedroom door when all of a sudden a crowbar had made contact with his temple. Knocked out, Ava-Grace hung the rope from the ceiling and wrapped it around the man's neck. she stood him up on a chair and waited for him to wake-up. In a panic he began to struggle. Close to escaping the grasp of the rope Ava-Grace kicked the chair making him unstable and hanging like a leaf off a tree branch. She fled the house and returned to her apartment. She felt good but not complete. There was still one visit she had to make. The place where she once felt comfortable. Where it all started.
