Just One More Hour...

Chapter 13:... I guess that...

     After Angela left Duke seemed to get a little more quiet and calm. He sat down with me and looked at me in a concerned way before handing me a small paper with Katty's writing on it. It paper said "Fin if you are reading this you either snuck in my office during the investigation or the detective gave this to you. But either way you're in trouble, and I don't have much time to write this. So I'll make this quick. They came and they killed one security guard, eighteen children, and nearly did the same to everyone else in this building as far as I know. They need to be stopped, and all their victims put to rest if any of us want a " happy ending ". However I think I know who th-" the note stops abruptly.

Duke: " We found this in her desk. She seems to have noticed that whoever "they" were had come and hid this."

Fin: "Ok then." I say holding back my tears.

Duke then says that he's going to have to ask me questions later and says goodbye. Angela comes back out shortly after he's gone and asks if I'm ok and I think for a moment about if I want to lie or not. I decide it's best at this moment to lie as such I say that I'm a little shocked but fine apart from that. She cocks an eyebrow and tells me to stay safe. I suddenly remember the scream she made all those years ago when those thugs attacked her, she had been lucky that I still had any sort of feeling left in me. I watched from a distance as she fainted then ran up behind them and... No I shouldn't be thinking about those times I'm better now. I take my meds and pretend I don't have... Didn't have any blood on my hands, I mean after all they forgave me and I've done all the things that they told me to do in order to make it up to them. I haven't even gotten the curse that doesn't let my arm heal removed. I appease them and now they're all gone. Or at least they don't bother me anymore. But I still can't go back to that terrible life. At this point I start crying profusely and hide my face in my hands. I'm never going back to that. I can't go back to that. The others need me not to go back to that. I need me to not go back to that.
