... He Knows...

A Rake Story

I screamed at the top of my lungs as I saw my sisters limp body lay on the floor covered in blood. "Evangeline!" I shouted kneeling next to her sobbing."Car... Caroline..." I heard her say choking on her blood. "No, no, don't talk... I'm going to save you! I promise!" I cried.
"N-o, you're... Not... Listen!" She touched my face, "I love you so so so much m-my dear s-sister, " she began to cry tears of blood. "Now... Don't stay here and w-weep o-ver m-me... Y-you... N-need to r-run!" She grabbed the sleeve of my dress. "Th-that thing is after you n-now... Please... D-don't let it get you too!" Her hand fell and her eye's slowely shut, as she let her last shaken breath out.
"EVANGAELINE!" I screamed crying aloud, but something, something moving caught my eye. "Run!" I heard in my head. I looked down at Evangeline's wounds noticing they weren't human. "That thing is after you now..." I heard Evangeline's voice in my head. "... He knows..." I heard another voice seeing an image of the beast and shot up standing quickly.
"A lady must not run like a maniac!" I remember my instructor saying but I would disobey her, even in my most expensive dress. "Run!" I heard my sisters voice shout, and I did! I took off down the corridor, out the front door, and into the woods never to see my family house again.
Branches, leaves, twigs all smacked me, they tangled my hair, ripped my dress, an gave me bruises in several places. I ran as fast as I could hearing the sound of something chasing me, it was gaining on me now. "Run sister! Run!" Evangeline said once again.
The beast chasing me got closer and closer, "no!" I shouted picking up my pace unable to feel my feet my feet now. "Run!" I shouted to myself until I tripped on an uprooted tree. "No!" I shouted again falling on my stomach. The creature caught up to me jumping in front of me, when I began to hear my fathers voice.
"... He knows..." He whispered in my head gradually getting louder as the creature crept closer. "No!" I shouted, "get away!" I raised my arms in front of my face to shield myself. The creature had a pale inhumane complexion, long arms that reached the ground. His legs were about as long as his arms, as were is claws, he was hunched over but I could not see his face. He wore no clothes, and I couldn't quiet tell it's gender so I guessed it was a male.
It was the creature who killed my sister, I could tell because it... Was covered in her blood. "... He knows because..." My father said in my head. My eyes widened, I know this creature... He killed my father... My father told me before it killed him but it spared me.
"... He knows... because..." No he can't kill me! "Please, no!" I shouted but it didn't listen. It raised his claws, "... He knows... Because he is... The Rake," was the last thing I heard before... It killed me... And I was left... Never to see the light of day... Again...
It killed my mother... Then my father... then Evangeline... And now me because... My family... Well... We deserve to die... So he killed us... Wanna know how? Because...
