Lillian

Chapter 23

As we were making our way down the steps, the entire building shook and we heard the screaming from outside. I was starting to get worried, because I didn't know where my mom and Clara were. Then out of nowhere we see both of them in the lobby as they grab Audrey and take her back behind the counter. Aunt Sarah went back with her weapon as she grabbed Audrey by the hand.

We were running out of the building as my dad pulled out a weapon under his Army jacket, which I never knew that he had! He sent a shot out and it hit Clara. That was all I remember and then my mother pushed her control button and the doors locked. We were banging the door inside the building as we saw May, Riley, and Sue who were trying to help us out. 

My mother lifted up her weapon. "You will never get away with this. Lillian I thought that you and I would lead a strong force against the good, but now you have turned on me and what kind of daughter shall turn on her own mother?" My mother said as she got closer to me with the gun.

I started to exclaim all of my thoughts at one time. "Mom I still love you, but what has happened to you? You have turned evil and I can't stop you or help you." 

"Well now you will be erased from my life and no one can stop me." My mother said as I heard something strike my mother. It was a bullet from my father's gun. My mom dropped the control button as we raced out the door. I grabbed Audrey and Aunt Sarah pushed my mother down to the ground. 

My mother was dead and I could do nothing about it. Now she would be dead forever. Then the walls of the building started to crumble down and everyone was in shock and terror of what would happen next. I hugged May, Riley, and Sue as Sue went on her way with her family. 

"Okay Zac I have a question." I said as Zac turned to me. "Who are your REAL parents, because knife lady and Clara the killer, I'm guessing aren't it." I said as Zac showed me his parents.

"Lilly these are my parents. This is the Governor of Pennsylvania and my Mom who owns her own bakery in town. Is this what you wanted to see?" He asked as he took me in.

"Yes that's all that I wanted to see." I said as he pulled me in closer and we finally kissed. It felt so soothing that everything else around us was calm and we were in the middle of it.

Then we all walked back home where we could be safe, but I didn't know or realize someone that should've went down with the building.

"Don't worry children. You're next on my bucket list." A dirty Clara said as she made her way out from behind a restaurant menu.

That was thing about life. I didn't know that I was being watched. We were being watched. Honestly, everyone was being watched.
