Dark night of the soul

Chapter 105

A/N- I can tell that I'm not getting on my readers good sides right now considering what happened at the end of the last chapter😂😂😂 I'll make it up to y'all I promise❤️

*Hannah's POV*
I hear the phone ring. "Hello?" I say to the unknown caller. "Hello is this Hannah Shepard?" A woman asks.

"This is she, may I ask whom is calling?"

"This is Catharine, Sarah's mother..." The woman begins but her sobs interrupt her. I stay silent however.

The guilt increases and I feel sick rising in my throat. "I'm sorry Mrs Paulson but I have to go.." I say and the line goes dead. I cannot talk to the mother of my step mother. I feel too ashamed that I haven't spoken to my own mother in years.
I wonder why she was crying?
I try not to stay on the subject for too long, that will just cause more guilt to play on my mind.

*Jessica's POV*
I see Sarah sat there covered in blood. "Jess..." She begins but I soon stop her. I fall to my knees. "Are you okay? Why are you crying? Are you hurt?" I begin to panic as I check her body for wounds. "Jess... I..." She's in shock.

I look around. There is a man knocked out on the floor with a bloody head like Threadson's when Lana hit him over the head with Wendy's picture. Then another man near the top of the stairs lying flat on his back. "Shit, Sarah, did you do this to both of them?"

"I didn't mean to kill anybody Jess... A man, he can running up the stairs a- and he shot at me. I was only defending myself" she cried harshly. I pulled her close to me and she hisses in pain. She pulls back and I see her bloody shoulder. He actually shot her.

"We need to stay together, let's go" I say pulling her up. We walk along the corridor, checking each room as we go. "I heard cries coming from up here, they must be on this floor."

"Are those the only guys you've taken down?" I ask. "There are four more in the basement but they're not injured, just idiotic." She explains which makes me chuckle. "Look, I don't know how but I remember someone saying that eleven convicts escaped a prison and I think it's these guys. If that's the case then seven of them have already been taken down because I took one down. The guy who came down into the basement on his own. That means that-" "you took Danny down?" She interrupts me.

"Yes"

She hugs me. "You don't know how grateful I am." She whispers. I need to figure out why he is so bad.

"Waaaa" we hear loud baby cries. "This way!" I point down the left side of the turning. We quickly move down the hallway.
"The cries are coming from in there" I point at a door as we move closer.
We slowly open the door, half expecting more men to be in there. We look around.
"Fuck" I curse and tears begin welling up in my eyes. "Mother fuckers" Sarah spits crying into my shoulder.
