Chapter 18 - Bated Breathe

"I wouldn't do that if I were you."I freeze and turn to face him

"Why?"I question and he continues walking towards me until his body was only inches away from mine.

"I hope you never find out."

He starts to back away slowly and began walking to the front door. I wanted to yell out his name. Tell him to stay.

"Where are you going?"

I ask instead, but he doesn't turn back

"My camper"

He casually responds and puts the clean shirt on over his head.

Why do I suddenly want to be next to him? I want to run after him. To hold onto his arm and to never let go.

But I stand still and watch his silhouette disappear into the darkening sky. It looks like it's going to rain. The clouds were turning black and suddenly, the clouds began to cry. 

I hear someone behind me and when I turn around, it's Liam. I didn't know what to say to him.

"There he goes again."

He says and I glare at him as I walk out into the livingroom where he was standing. 

I was about to take a seat on the couch when something hits the house. The ground shook rapidly and a large frame on the wall fell to the ground and shattered into sharp pieces. Liam and I fall to the ground and a part of the ceiling above me crackled.

I close my eyes and bring my legs into a ball; wrapping my arms around myself. Suddenly something grabs me around the waist and pushes me out of the way. I land on my side and let out a violent scream as another frame falls to the floor next to me and a large piece of glass sticks into my skin.

A fire started slowly and it began to spread about the room. Smoke flourished everywhere like a dangerous, yellow fire. It was hard to see anything and I could barely move. I cough loudly, trying to find air to breathe in. My arm bled badly from the glass and I look around for Liam. 

"Liam!"

I yell, but my voice cracks and there was a constant ringing in my ears. I touch my arm and I wince badly. 

I manage to stand up and I see a man in front of Liam, pointing a gun at his head.

He was tall and wore only black. I couldn't recognize him, because he was wearing dark sunglasses to protect his eyes. He wore a leather jacket and it shined from the reflection of the flames.

Liam suddenly charged forward towards the man and pummeled him to the floor. I couldn't see them anymore; the couch was in the way and I began making my way around it. Suddenly when they come into view, the man lifts his gun while liam brought his fist back for another punch. 

BANG

"No!"

I screech and my eyes close from terror. 

When I open them seconds later, I saw the man standing above Liam's motionless body. He began to turn towards me slowly and my eyes open wide. I turn around and bolt for the door. 

I ran into the woods and sped up until I could no longer run. 

I collapse
