Demon Within

Chapter 27

The boys' moms came in as soon as police called them about the incident.

Kailee had phoned Miss Mona before time, to tell her that she needed to pick up Demon and leave. Kailee didn't want Miss Mona there, as she just wanted to be alone. Miss Mona understood.

Miss Mona had picked up Demon hours ago, and Henry's mom was the first to arrive, followed by Tray's mom and then Will's.

"Where are they?" Kailee recognized the one to be Tray's mom.

Kailee could see the worry and realized that since all of their children had been friends for years, they must have known each other for a long time, a long enough time to become friends as well.

"Ma'am, calm down. What's your name?" The secretary asked.

"My name is Beth Lock. I'm the mother of Tray Lock. I'm also here for Tray's friends, Henry and Will, along with their mothers." She demanded hastily.

"Okay. Please wait here. You can go sit next to your son's girlfriend for now." She answered.

Reluctantly, the mothers sat next to Kailee in the waiting room. Kailee shifted uncomfortably.

"What exactly happened anyway?" Henry's mom, Mrs. Jackson, found the courage to ask Kailee.

"I...My mom, she...They were ransom. Bait. To lure me in. And I fell for it. I thought I could save them by myself and get us all out unscathed. My mother's a complete bit*h." Kailee explained quietly.

Will's mother blinked. "Your mother did this? Is she in jail now?"

"Hardly. More like in Hell. My dog, Demon, and I killed her. Ripped her head, arm, and leg off." Kailee said, no remorse in her voice.

The mothers were shocked at this and Tray's, mother, Beth, decided to voice her opinion. "Isn't that kind of...overboard?"

"Of course not." Kailee disagreed. "It's a sure fire way to make sure someone is efficiently dead and dealt with."

The mothers, disturbed by the young girl's words, decided to move on to a different topic.

"What exactly are our sons' conditions?" Mrs. Jackson asked.

Kailee hesitated for a moment, but gave in. "Tray has one side of his throat torn open and can't speak, but he seems well despite his condition."

"Henry has a broken arm and skin that's been ripped through. It was bitten by a dog deep enough to cause the bone to snap and pop through the skin itself."

"Will is similar to Henry, only its his leg instead. A chunk was torn off, so the bone came through without tearing through like Henry's arm bone did."

Kailee waited for them to say something.

Beth, or Ms. Lock finally answered. "Will Tray be able to speak again?"

"Don't know. Only time will tell, I suppose. Even if he doesn't, last time I visited him, he didn't seem the least bit bothered by that fact. He's brave, I have to admit."

A pause. "Are you really my son's girlfriend?"

"Why does everyone think that?!" Surprisingly, Kailee wasn't the one who had shouted it.

A robotic voice had spoken it. They turned their heads to see Tray in a wheelchair with tubes still attached to his neck and the back of the chair.
