Lilly Anne

Chapter 12: Ryan is back.

Its been four years since the last killing Lilly had. She was now 13 and she stopped killing because she thought it had got out of hand. Rhonda walked into the living room.

"Lilly, there is someone on the phone for you." She said as she handed the girl the phone.

"Hello?" Lilly asked.

"Hi. Is this Lilly?"

"Yes. Who might you be?"

"I'm Ryan. Remember me?"

"Ryan? Uhhhh...." Lilly had drawn a blank.

"Yea, from four years ago? You found my mother dead...."

"Oh. Yea, Ryan. I remember you." Lilly recalled killing his mother, she felt guilty.

"I was intrigued with your charater when I met you."

"You were?"

"Yea. Even though I was seven."

"Okay...."

"Well, when I got a computer I looked into you. I typed in Lilly and the first thing that came up was an article about an eight year old named Lilly who found her parents dead."

"Oh...."

"I have one question. Are you Lilly Anne Gordon?"

"I..... I......" Lilly burst into tears.

"Oh gosh. I'm so sorry!! Did I bring up bad memories....?"

"Kinda..."

"I didn't mean to make you sad."

"Its alright. To answer your question, yes, I am Lilly Anne Gordon."

"I was just wondering. Uhhh, it says that you were put in an metal hospital called Mental Hospis, then escaped the same place a month later. Is that right?"

"Yes.... it is."

"Why did you escape?"

"I..... I.... I wanted to get away from all the....."

"Are you okay?"

"Yes I'm fine. I escaped because I felt like I was going insane in there. I was angry and I wanted to find my parents killer and kill them."

"Well.... did you?"

"I....... yes. I found their license at the scene. I found their house and.... I killed them.... yes I killed a person. And I will never forgive myself for it"

"Oh god."

"I was 9, crazy, and angry. A mix of bad things."

"I think I understand. Are you okay now?"

"Yes. I regret what I did."

"Well then.... this was a fun talk."

"Wait! Ryan, I haven't had a friend since I walked into that mental hospital. Can you come over and maybe we can hang out?"

"Sure... I'm bored..."

"Cool. Come over anytime."

Lilly hung up, put the phone on the counter, wiped away her tears, and went back to reading. Rhonda emerged from the kitchen.

"So does Ryan want to stay for dinner or what?"

"Wow. You listened to my conversation?!"

"Sorry. I was intrigued. He is really cute you know...."

"Grandma I don't want a boyfriend. Besides he is 11."

"He might have a brother!"

"Ugh.... Grandma, just drop it."
