A Tale Dark and Grimm [ON HOLD]

Chapter 20

I left my house and went to the hospital. I went to my moms room and stood next to her.

"Hi Jane" She said looking at me.

I didn't respond and my mom could tell something was wrong.

"What happened" she said

"H-hes here" I said barely above a whisper.

Instantly, she looked so concerned.

"Did he touch you? Where did you see him?"

"No he didn't touch me and I saw him in the park".

"This isn't good. He already knows that you know that he's here so there is no reason for him to be his presence a secret."

As soon as she said that, the doctor came by and said that my mom had made a miraculous recovery and that she could be discharged tomorrow. That had shocked me. For the first time in 2½ months my mom could come out of the hospital and go home. My happiness was temporary because then I remembered that he was here. If he knew that my mom was discharged there was no stopping what he had in mind. I walked out of the room, out of the hospital, into the park. Benjamin was there waiting. I went up to him and explained what happened.  He looked at me and when I looked at him a flash of sadness flashed over his eyes and just as fast as it came it went away.

"Jane I'm sorry that you had to go through that".

I smiled at him. "Benjamin I'm sorry but until this blows over I'm not going to be able to help you find your parents.

"It's ok". He said smiling at me.

I went to my house to go clean it up for my mom's arrival. I put on some new clothes because my clothes I had on I have had one since we started this whole thing. I then clean around the kitchen, bathroom, living room etc. I go into my room and look at some of my stuff. There is a huge life sized teddy bear on my bed. In the middle it had a velvet heart. I was looking at the bear when someone knocked the door. I made my way to the door and looked through the peep hole. There was no one there. I then turned around to go to the kitchen and there was a black figure standing there. I gasped instantly recognizing who was there. I couldn't move being paralyzed by fear. I tried screaming but nothing came out. He came towards me and when I tried to move nothing happened. He placed a cloth over my mouth.
The room started to dim out and soon every thing started fading away......
