The Locker (Completed)

Chapter 15

(Lila's Point of View, before Katelyn's death)

I feel my body start to shut down, I have grown very tired and weak. My eyes are closed as I try to find peace in this evil place. Unfortunately this task becomes more and more difficult. I can feel the skin on my wrists starting to peel off as the rope rubs against them. My throat is dry, and I can't find the strength to keep my head up.

Suddenly I hear the back door swing open and bang against the wall. Loud footsteps echo in the narrow hallway. I open my eyes and look around the room, but I only find Parker rubbing his eyes as he awakes and sits up in the chair across from me. My body starts to shake with fear as the footsteps get closer. Parker now fully awake, starts to realize what is happening. He jumps up and quickly walks over to me with his gun in hand. "Stay quiet and I won't hurt you." I do as he says his hand rests on my shoulder from behind as his other hand points the gun towards the direction of the footsteps.

I stare down the empty hallway until I see Katelyns small figure charging towards me. Fear washes over me as I realize she is carrying a large sharp butchers knife in her hand.

"I’m gonna kill you!!!" she screams while sprinting towards me. Then Parker immediately stands in front of me.

"Don't you touch her!!" he yells back, making me and Katelyn jump.  

"She deserves to die! She ruined everything for me! She took the one person I cared for! She is going to pay!!" My ears start to ring once she finishes screaming at the top of her lungs. Katelyn tries to push Parker out of the way but its no use. Parker grips her wrist and twists it behind her back, making her bend forward and drop the knife. He lets go and takes a step back.

"Katelyn calm down, we can't lose focus." Parker says trying to suppress his anger. His comments unfortunately don't have an affect on Katelyn. I watch in shock as she grabs his shoulders and forcefully knees him in the family jewels. Parker cries out in pain as he falls to the floor and clutches his groin. My eyes snapback to Katelyn who is coming at me, this time without any barriers. She looks at me and smiles a sadistic smile.

"Aw you look so scared. Don't worry Lila I'll make it quick and painless." She strokes my hair and brings her hand to my neck wrapping her fingers around. "Well.... I'll make it quick." she lets out an evil chuckle. Then I look to Parker who is trying to gather himself off the ground. Suddenly, I start to feel pressure on my neck. I try to gasp for air but instead I end up choking on my own saliva. I start to get light headed as I realize this is it I am going to die.

 (Parkers Point of View)

I bring myself up on my knees when I here my princess choking. If I don't pull myself together she will die. I get to my feet and charge towards Katelyn, tackling her to the ground. I hear Lila gasp for air, this brings me relief to know she is still alive. Katelyn tries to fight me but I pin her down. She spits in my face, when I tell her to calm down.

Growing tired of her games I decide that she has to go she is too much of a problem. I fold my hand into a fist and with the other hand I grip her hair to make her still. My arm extends back and then with all my strength I bring it foward punching her in the face. She's knocked out cold, lying unconscious on the tile floor.

"What did you do!?" I hear Lila scream.

"I just saved your life!" I remark.

"D-did you kill her? I-Is she d-dead?"

I press my fingers just above her neck to check for a pulse. "No, she is still breathing, which is why we have to hurry." I walk over to Lila, untying her wrists and ankles. I feel guilty as I watch her rub her rope burns on her wrists. "Please cooperate, I really don't want to hurt you." I gently grab her arm and lead her out the back. We walk a bit until we reach a shed where all of the spare food is stored. I open the unlocked door and bring Lila and I in. I walk her over to one of the pipes that are hanging from the ceiling. "Put your arms up." Lila raises her arms over her head and I tie them to the pipe. I look around the shed for something to put over her mouth just incase she screams. I settle on some duck tape.
