Blood Shed

Chapter 12

here you go!!!

.....................................................................................................................................................

I struggled to stay standing when I heard Mike’s strangled scream. I started panicking, who had done this, and why would they? Mike had never done anything to anyone! I really hoped that Mike was okay; I didn’t want to ever feel like he wasn’t close. That’s when I saw him, his body, rather, or maybe his corpse. He was there arms and legs outstretched lying on the ground like he was dead. Maybe he was, that’s what killed me on the inside, I couldn’t live without Mike, no matter how stubborn or teasing he could be.

I took one step closer to Mike, so I could reach him, at that very second a knife whizzed past my head, barely missing nose. I knew someone was watching me, and not only did they want to keep me away from Mike who had a steady flow of blood coming from somewhere on his back; but they wanted to kill me too.

I wanted Mike to at least know that I loved him and that he smelt beautiful, I couldn’t talk to him out loud, and he wouldn’t be able to answer anyways, so I decided I’d have to talk to him through our mindlink.

Mike, are you alright?

Is that you L-L-Letty?

Yeah Mike it’s me, whoever hurt you wants to kill me too.

Letty ...

Mike I love you so much and that whole thing about you smelling, that wasn’t true, I love the way you smell, you smell like the lake we went to on our first date, all fresh, vibrant and beautiful, just like you!

I love you too Letty, I’m not going to die though, I promise, but you might if you don’t listen to me.

Don’t be silly Mike, I’ll kill that dumb f*ck before he has any time to set his hands on me.

That’s when I felt it, a hand, on my back. I was in so much shit, it wasn’t even funny. I couldn’t fight, not that well anyways.

“Well, well, well, Ms Dawson, we meet again,” I recognised that voice, I knew it, but I couldn’t place it.

“Umm I don’t think we’ve ever met Mr Mysterious,”

“Oh I think you’ll find we’ve met many more times than once Dawson, and please, call me Mr Webber, I find that much more flattering.”

“Dan, is that you?” I whispered, shocked.

“I would prefer you to call me Mr Webber please Miss Dawson,” Dan’s voice sounded strangely robotic, I had no idea if he was being controlled or if he actually wanted to kill me on the inside.

Another knife whizzing past my head disrupted me from my thoughts, either way, I could still end up dead; which meant I had to fight one of my closest friends, maybe to death.

Letty, you need to listen to me, no matter how hard things get for you today, you need to fight through, I can’t lose you babe.

I know Mike, I’ll try my best. I just don’t know if I’ll have the courage.

You will Letty, just try.

So, with my renewed strength and courage, I flung myself at Dan, but he was too fast, he snatched my outstretched hand away from his body and swung me across the room.

“You’ll have to be smarter than that to beat me, Scarlett Dawson,” He scowled.

“Why are you like this Dan? I’ve never seen you like this!”
