Twisted Fate

chapter 3

A girl named Victoria and I were huddled and covered by the jacket in a corner. Victoria is a twenty one year old girl. She sang after Travis and Heather died. We bonded when it was time to sleep, she was cold and I offered to cover her with the jacket the man gave me. We whispered about our lives outside of this hell hole.

I told her about my friend Caleb, and about my older sister. How she would come home with a guy and keep him for a week and say he dumped her. How she would come home drunk after drinking so much with her friends to where the point she would slur and talk about how hot the bartender was. I talked about how Caleb was gay and how he recently got dumped by his boyfriend. Victoria talked how she was the only child and how she didn't have any friends. She knew a lot of people just wasn't friends with any of them. Victoria told me how she would be forced to be social at parties and at social gatherings. I felt bad for her. She didn't have any friends, and her parents were forceful on her.

In the middle of talking to Victoria. I heard a slot open, and I looked around to see the door to our next room open through a small slot in the bottom. The person on the other side slide a knife into the room we were in. Then the lights shut off to where nobody could see anything an inch away from their face. I was scared. I wasn't prepared to die yet. Who had the knife? Were they really going to kill someone? I felt Victoria move closer to me.

I could hear someone walking around the room. I heard someone scream. I couldn't tell who the person was, but I was pretty sure they were dead. Victoria, and I stayed quiet, we didn't want to die. I heard the person walk over to us. I could hear their heavy breathing. Victoria squealed a bit which blew our cover. The person grabbed her and pulled her away from me. I tried to hold onto her, but the person just cut my arm so I would let go. I heard Victoria scream before she died. The person came back to where I was. They were so close to me that I could feel their breath on me. That's when a gun was shot. Blood covered parts of my face. I wanted to scream but I was so shocked that I couldn't make a noise. A loud thud broke the silence, and the lights turned on. Three bodies laid on the floor with blood leaking out of their wounds. Victoria's neck was slit and her blood was starting to create a puddle. Nathan had a bullet in his forehead. Wouldn't think Nathan would kill someone. In the back corner Nathan's wife had her neck slit open as well. John came over to me and helped me up from the ground. He used the sleeve of his shirt to wipe the blood off of my face. I didn't push him away I just stood there like a statue. After John wiped my face off he went over and picked up the knife and shoved it into the wall. It looked like he had stabbed someone. He came back over to me, and grabbed my hand pulling me closer to him for a hug.
