The Demon Friend

Chapter 3

As they walked, they talked about their lives and what was happening. Her dad explained that his mum (Dead mum) Was in The Sun ages ago and now The Sun kept on mocking her about it and that his old girlfriend had gone off with some other block and their daughter happened to be Alice. He explained that when she was a baby he attempted to take her away because she was not this blokes baby she was actually his too. As they talked Jane came to understand his ways and his surprisingly deep backstory. As they entered the park it was about lunch time So her dad bought her and him a double royale burger and it was delicious. After that they went to the playground and had turns pushing each other on the swings and to push on the witches hat. When they were tired and worn out the bought two chocolate mint chip ice cream and some bread and went to the pond to feed the ducks. Jane had also accidentally pushed her dades ice cream into his nose but he did not get angry he just laughed.
" thanks dad soooo much for taking me out it has been sooooooooo much fun we should do this again more often"
" Yes we should how about tomorrow"
"OK YES"
" Jane but i have to tell you something... I had a dream last night and Alice was in it going on about her family and how I had ruined it she said she would be coming really soon and that I will see what will happen... And she started torturing me in my own dream so i hope you get it... but anyway we better head home i have got some really funny jokes up my sleeve and I really want to share them with you!"
As they walked home Jane felt the warm breeze and the sun on the back of her neck her dad telling jokes she couldn't help herself from laughing she had never felt this overjoyed in her whole life.
When they got home mum and Ann were already there. At dinner Jane had explained the day over and over again each time more detailed than they other. The sun was setting over the house as it shone as red as an english rose. Jane was fetching her book so she could read a little before she fell asleep then her dad came in and sat on her bed talking her book gently out of her hands.
" I know you are to old for your parents to be reading to you but just one more for my little princess!"
As he started to read Jane felt obliged and fell asleep strate away. Her dream was the same of the night before but the girl was now standing right outside the house.
"Hello again Jane you love your dad so much now don't you... i almost feel sorry for what i am about to do but death... death want's him Jane death wants him!"
The dream was fading quickly but she just had time to see this girl pull out a dagger and the door opening.
She woke up suddenly realising what the dreams meant it can't be, it can't be... can it. She rushed down stairs into her mum and dad's room but her dad was not there she rushed into the kitchen as she came to a sudden halt. Blood... blood was everywhere and the door wide open and there on the sofa to her monstrosity her dad lay there covered in blood a dagger in the heart, blood oozing out of the mouth and around him Alice's doodle. Jane suddenly let out a piercing cry that could've woken up the whole street. At that moment Ann started to cry and mum came running down the stairs she gazed in amazement and started sobbing quietly. Ann had managed to get out of her cot and down stairs and when she saw the sight she too started to cry. On the door came a sudden knocking and the police came in and asked what was going on and abruptly stopped when they saw...the sight. By midday the police had cleaned the blood and taking the body and put a investigation upon this mysterious killing. The rest of the day was a mess people from their family were phoning to see if they were Ok and mum had to sort out all the paperwork on this investigation filling questions if anything had happened the days before the attack. The day went quickly and the family decided to go to bed early that night.
Jane went up stairs reciting her dad's last words to her over and over again my little princess... it had been so long before her dad had ever said that to her she kept thinking this as she went to sleep. This time she had dreams about her usual things worlds full of sweets but her dad was now with her laughing with her but all this was ended by a loud knock on her door. She woke up, slipped on her slipper and rushed down stairs she opened the door and that girl was standing there now Jane could get a better look at her she saw it was Alice.
" Jane I am so sorry i did not mean too but i was so angry with him I lost it . Also you might also know why i died well I died committing suicide because my own family turned on me and my life was a missionary and my own best friends dad hated me so i was to scared to go near you and i was sick of what life was doing to me. Your dad was the reason they were being so mean they did not like me being from two dads... Will you forgive me?"
Hearing this Jane felt sorry for Alice. Just as she was about to say yes something caught her and she slammed the door on Alice's face lent on the door and started to cry. How could her "best friend " first die and leave her lonely, then kill her dad an now wants forgiveness. She stared outside by the small window next to the door. Alice was still there... Smiling. Jane could not understand why her thought to be best friend could be smiling at a time like this. Jane had made up her mined she marched up the stairs got into bed and from then on never looked back.
