Chapter 8: Barf Powder

I can't think. Millions and millions of questions flowed through my head but I couldn't ask them because my life was in danger. "Take her to get poisoned and I'm going to watch you.. I'll enjoy it a lot,watching you die slowly." he said what seemed like hours and hours of silence.

"I can't wait to see you dead soon,Ive always hated you. You always took from your mother....... of course I killed her." he said,clearly wanting to kill the feelings inside of me every second he could get. "I hate you.......you......YOU-" I suddenly felt that Jess just punched me in the face and was now putting me on the ground. He kicked me in the shoulder and it started to bleed and he punched me hard in the stomach. He started to raise his elbow to land directly on my stomach for a final knockout but I knew I had to do something before I got knocked out. Every time I breathed in and out it took almost all my energy and an enormous amount of pain flowed throughout my body. I slowly inched towards the barf powder and reached out for it that was knocked out into the corner of the wall aching to roll free. I grabbed it with a firm grip and I clenched it hard making my knuckles go white. I slowly tried to pull it towards me and it made my whole arm go numb. My arm burst into pain as I brought it up to my stomach and everything seemed to go in slow motion even though I was moving in incredible speed.

I slowly grasped the jar and held it close to my chest. I used all my strength to turn the jar lid inch by inch. It was stuck so I tried to budge it or at least move it a little to make it easier. When it did open, it send the lid flying in the air and I quickly rolled away. In the corner of my eye I saw the cold tile floor meet the elbow of Jess. 'That could of been me' I thought. I stood up and propped the jar of powder against the wall and stood back up, feeling much better now. I went into a stance and moved around with my feet.

I tried to remember what my master taught me in karate when I was six, so help me this plan works. Before they had time to react I made quick work of Jess by my fist meeting his face,and that knocked him out cold. When he fell he knocked his dad over sending him onto the ground knocking him cold too. I then did a little celebration dance but I felt that something was wrong. I turned back to the two team and they were waking up,and they were flaming mad. I thought quick and grabbed as much powder as I could in both hands and threw it in both of their faces and it landed mostly in their mouth....... uh oh. Suddenly both of them started to barf all over everything and all over,wait till ya here this......me.

"Oh gross!" I screamed out. I quickly ran to the closet door and grabbed the keys from the door knob and started my way to the front. I don't know why but singing made me want to do it to help me feel better.

"Du du dun nu!"

"Du du dun nu!"

"Dun dum!!!!"

I looked up ahead and immediately stopped singing. It was Jess and his father standing at the door way where it was my only escape. "Well well well what do we have here?" Jess said with a very familiar scent in the air. "Want some?" He said to me and I looked at his hands and he was holding some food. "Their pancakes,your favorite oh I'm sorry...... your moms favorite." it said. 'Oh man. This is heavy. Don't faint don't faint.' I thought to myself. I started to breath heavy as the room seemed to get smaller."Dear dear you can end this all now,just take the pancakes and eat it." Jess's dad said to me with a sly grin."Or will I have to shove it down your throat." Jess said as he started to smile. If you looked at the two you could definitely see the resemblance of them.

"Just slide them to me and I'll eat them." I said,fumbling with my hands and rocking back and forth with my feet. "Go ahead. I'll watch with interest." Jess and his dad said in unison and then they slid the pancakes towards my feet. I picked up the plate and I took the fork that was neatly placed on top of the pancakes. I grabbed the forks with a scared hand shaking,and on top of the pancakes I saw that they clearly put the deadly disease on top of it.......i knew what I was going to do.

I slowly walked towards them and I places the plate all on my palm and threw it with as much strength as I could to Jess's dad. His dad suddenly grabbed Jess and whole Jess was screaming the pancakes went flying in his mouth. He fell to the floor but the dad didn't clearly care and ran off in the opposite direction to the doors and out into the open. I watched him run out into the parking lot where police was waiting for him. I suddenly heard a gurgling should and then the souls ended. I turned around to see Jess on the floor not making one movement with his eyes closed. Oh my god...........I just killed my best friend.
