Fight Together (Sequel To Neighbor Next Door) Jace Norman

Chapter 11

Jaces P. O. V

We wait to hear the noise again. I hear a footstep. It sounds like its coming from my bathroom. I turn toward Fiona. "Stay here." I whisper. She ignores my command and follows me up the stairs. I hear a footstep. "Stay behind me." I whisper. We walk down the hallway towards the guest bedroom. The door  is cracked open. 

I see someone walk past in the room. I hold back a gasp and turn around towards Fo. "Go downstairs and call the police right now." I order. She shakes her head no. "I'm not leaving you here." She whisper disobeying me. I roll my eyes and reach into my back pocket and grab my phone. "Here." I said firmly. She took it and dialed 911. "911 whats your emergency?" 

The woman asked. Fiona ignored her and put the phone on the floor. "Hello, hello???"  I walk a little closer to the door. I look through the crack and see a young girl in a black hood with her blond hair spilling out through the sides. I open the door. "What are you doing here?" 

She turns around immediately and frantic. "Please don't hurt me." She pleads. Her brown eyes filled with fright. "I'm not going to hurt you but I do want to know why you're in my house and looking through my things." I boldly demand. "I...I..." 

Fiona steps into the room. She furrows her eyebrows. The little girl has the same reaction, and I just her like what in the world is going on. "Gracie?" Fiona questions. "Fo?" The little girl replies. "Why are you here? Did Paige send you?" The girls stands there scared. After awhile she whispers. 

"I can't tell you. Fiona and I stare at each other eye to eye. And at that very second a bullet flies through my window. "She's here everybody get down!" The girl screams. We all jump to the floor as hundreds of bullets fly through my window and onto the floor. After awhile it stop. I look up at the kid. I pause and then frantically snatch her. She screams.

 "C'mon let's get out of here." I say looking Fiona straight in the eye. She nods. "What are you doing with me put me down!" Gracie screams when we are halfway down the hallway. I set her down and bend down to her level. Fiona makes her way down the stairs. "Look, everything is okay we called the cops they're on their way. I'm not going to hurt you, okay?"

 Her eyes grow wide. "Oh no...you called the cops?!" She askes panicked. I nod slowly. She runs her hand through her hair. "Oh, great now we're all gonna die." I tilt my head in confusion. "Jace!" Fiona hollars. I grab the little girls hand and and run down the stairs dragging her with me. I follow Fo's hollar into the kitchen. 

"Fiona! Fiona! Fiona..is everything alright?" She bites her lip. "They're gone. I walked into the kitchen and those two door where open. I run to the open door and scream they're names. "Charlotte,...Ruthie!" I turn around towards Fiona. "We need to go look for the."

 She crosses her arms. "Are you crazy? The cops are gonna be here any second now, and with Paige out there shooting at us it would be like suicide. I bite my lip and walk back into the house I slam my hands on the table admitting that she right. I just don't want Charlotte out there. What if she got kidnapped? What if she went out there looking for us? 

These questions fill my head when Gracie speaks up. "That wasn't Paige." Fiona furrows her eyebrows. "Well then who was it! Because it for sure wasn't Zac." Fiona assures looking down. "It's was Mythaniel" Her head snaps up. Her eyes wide. "It couldn't have been. He's in Pennsylvania! Besides why would he work for Zac and Paige?" She askes shrugging. The girl pouts out her lips.

 "Ask yourself that question again.." The girl orders. Fiona's face goes pale. "I didn't kill his sister." She whispers. My head snaps up. "What!? What is going on?! Who is Mythaniel??!!" I yell confused. Gracie and Fiona stare at each other. Fiona sighs.

 "Back when I lived in Pennsylvania  I went to school with Zac, Paige, Kelly, and this boy named Mythaniel. Now if you remember the time in school that one boy who asked to eat lunch with me and we ended up eating at your table because I didn't want you to be lonely.."

 I nodded remembering. "Yeah." I said. That was Mythaniel, I guess I just never realized that was him. But anyways back at me old school Paige and Mythaniel used to date. So one day he invited me over to his house because we got partnered up for a science experiment, and when we got the moment when we were alone we just started....making out."

 She said shyly. "....That's why Paige hates me so much. Continuing, I asked him if  I could use his bathroom and he said I could, and when I got in  there I saw his 3 month year old sister under boiling hot water drowning. I immediately grabbed her out but it was too late. 

Then his mom walked in and they accused me of the murder of their daughter." She explained getting teary eyed. I sucked on my cheek. "So that's what happened....?" Gracie asked. Fo nodded sadly. "Well then who killed her?" The room stayed silent. "Me." A girly voice boomed through the house. 

I automatically looked around trying to find where it came from. Just then we heard sirens. Fiona grew frantic. "I gotta go!" She said walking to the doors. "Wait you said it yourself. Going out there would be suicide. Besides, they all know you're still alive. 

Even still the cops wouldn't realize you." She shook her head no. "I have to. I can't take that big of a risk, plus people faking their death is basically illegal. I'll get at least 5 year of jail."

 I stared at her and she stared back. After a second she disappeared through the door. I didn't hear any gunshots so I wasn't that worried. The cops knocked on the door.
