I rush over to Kasey. The door closes.
The first thing I do is get the duct tape off of her mouth.
"I thought you were going to be in Florida for the summer. It's not even August yet, what are you doing here," I say to Kasey as I try to untie the rope tied to her wrists.
"I decided to come back early. I've had enough of that family down there. I really missed you. I wanted to see you," Kasey said.
"I really missed you, too," I said.
For a minute there was complete silence, but then, I broke the silence.
"How did my dad get you?" I asked.
I felt her grab my arm.
"I just got back today, just put my stuff away in my house. When I was unpacking, I decided to go see you. So, I walked down to your house, knocked on your door, but nobody was there. I turned around to see your dad pulling in your driveway. He walked out and said "Hello, who are you?" I said, "Hi, it's Kasey, is Bryce home?" He shook his head. Then he offered I come inside and have a snack. I said, "sure." We walked inside. Suddenly, everything went black. I think he hit me in the head and knocked me out."
I just sat there astonished. I didn't want anything to happen to Kasey. This motherfucker needs to pay.
"I have a plan," I said.
"What is it?" She asked.
I pulled out the toe bone that was in my pocket and handed it to Kasey.
"Do you know what this is?" I asked her.
Without hearing he answer I said, "it's a toe bone, I plan on stabbing my fucking dad in the eye."
She gasped.
"Where did you get this?"
"Well, there's a bone pile on the other side of this room."
She gasped again.
"Wait, your dad murders people?" She asked, handing my the toe bone.
I placed it back in my pocket.
"Yeah, I think so, we didn't even know it," I replied.
"How about we wait, first, let's hear what he has to say about these bones. Maybe he'll confess about some murders he committed," said Kasey.
"Yeah! That's sounds like a good idea, and when he turns around, I'll stab him," I said.
We sat there waiting in silence when I heard a faint voice.
"Andrew!" I yelled.
I put my ear against the wall.
"Where are you Bryce?" I hear him say.
"I'm in the next room, don't worry we have a plan to get us out, Kasey is here, too," I yell.
"Yeah, don't you worry Andrew!" Kasey yelled.
Andrew didn't say anything after that. He knows I'll do anything for him. He knows I love him and care about him. He is usually the first thing I think about in any situation.
I lay down waiting for my dad to come again. I can feel Kasey lay down next to me. I reach to put my arms around her. In my mind, I can see her smiling in my arms.
Suddenly, I hear the door open. Light shines in the room I'm in. I get up really fast. So does Kasey.
My dad walks to the bone pile.
"Do you remember your mom, well, you probably didn't because she died when you were really young. Probably around 3."
I just stood there.
"I think he's going to tell us about how my mom died," I whispered to Kasey.
He turned his head to where he can see me in his peripheral vision.
"I don't like secrets, will you fucking speak up," he said.
"Umm... What happened to mom," I said.
He turned his head back to the bone pile.
"For starters, this bone pile is your mothers," he said.
My eyes widened and my jaw dropped.
"I never loved your mother, she was such a bitch. Anyways, I drugged her up and brought her here. I left her here for about 2 weeks before I finally felt like it was time to kill that whore. I had me a rifle. Slammed the door open and shot her right in the brain."
I couldn't handle any more of this. I pulled out my bone, and I stabbed him right in the shoulder. He fell to the ground.
"Come on, let's get Andrew," I yell to Kasey.
We both run out of the room and slam it shut. We run to the next door.
"There's a lock on it!" I yell.
"Hold on, let me grab that fire extinguisher on the floor," said Kasey.
She ran over and grabbed it quickly. She handed it to me. I hit that lock as hard as I could 2 times before my dad ran up to us. I just hit him in the face with that fire extinguisher. Looks like I knocked him out.
I turned back to the lock. Hit it until that lock came off.
I opened the door and saw Andrew. I quickly grabbed him and we ran out the door.
When we got to the middle the first tree. I started to shake uncontrollably. I was getting electrocuted! Then, darkness came over me.
