As Mysteries Begin To Unravel (Paused)

Chapter 5

We both stared at Tony, and I couldn't move. He's going to kill us, he's going to kill us, he's-

"Could you both please explain why you two are down here?" Tony asks, tapping his foot impatiently.

Grace and I glanced at each other, but we kept silent.

Tony chuckled. "Guess I have to do it the hard way."

He pulled an unnoticed knife out of his pocket and swept over to Grace in just a few seconds. She shrieked as he pressed the blade against her flesh.

"Now, Julia, care to explain why you two were down here?" He moves the knife upwards and towards Grace's neck.

"Okay, okay! Grace has never been to our house so she just wanted to explore! Please don't hurt Grace! This is my fault! I was the one who let her explore!" I cried, hoping he would believe my lie.

He glanced over in my direction before turning back to the squirming Grace. "Julie, you've lived here for over a year. You know I don't overlook mistakes..." He tightens his grip on the knife and Grace begins to cry.

"I love you Julia! You were always my best-" Grace's words were cut off when Tony sliced the knife through her skin and slit Grace's neck.

"Grace! Oh my god oh my god..." I ran over to Grace's  body and grabbed her hand.

Her eye was twitching and her mouth was open. Her body lay crumpled on the floor as blood poured out of her neck. You could see one of her carotid arteries and some blood vessels, currently pouring blood out.

I remember reading somewhere that the pain wasn't too terrible when someone's neck is slit, and they die after a few minutes, especially if their breathing pipe was cut off.

"Grace.." I croaked, hugging her against my body, not caring that blood was sopping through my pajamas.

Tony chuckled darkly. "I have never seen a girl do that when her friend is dying."

I had forgotten that Tony was there and his words made me shudder. Grace gurgled and sputtered, and took a ragged breath. Her chest stopped moving and the life left her eyes.

"Your turn." He walked over to me, his knife dripping blood gleaming red, his smile was inhuman, it stretched all the way from ear to ear like the Cheshire cat. I didn't even know how that was possible. It reminds me of the nightmares I had.

My eyes widen and I blink the tears away and do the only thing I could think of. I kick him in his 'banana.'

Tony howls and drops the knife, using both hands to cover his crotch.

I use these few seconds to run up the stairs. I drop stuff behind me while I run, praying it would slow him down.

My prayers were answered when I heard a thud and Tony shouting out curse words.

Not daring to look back, I made it all the way up and slammed the basement door shut as I ran towards the front door.

I managed to get out and I quickly jumped into Tony's truck. As soon as my butt touched the seat my hands were on the steering wheel and my foot was on the gas. I was lucky enough that Tony had left his keys in the truck.

I backed out of the small dirt driveway and drove as fast as I could while avoiding the trees. I had to get far away from here.
