SAVE ME?

MORE FAMILY MEMBERS!!

3rd person p.o.v

J.B and the teenage boy ran to the little girl's room. They both had hope in their eyes. Maybe the crazy killer didn't kill her yet, they both thought. J.B burst through the door followed by the boy. The young girl was badly wounded, but you could tell that she was desperately grasping onto what little life she had left. "A-anthony" she called out, her tiny hand reached out towards him. He ran and dropped by her side. "Destiny please don't go" he cried. Destiny shook her small head and let out a tired sigh. "bubby I'm tired" she whined as her eyes drooped. He knew that this would be the end of her so he held her hand and smiled down at her. "Then take a nap, dork. I'll be here when you wake up" he held back his tears and joked so she'd stay calm. She yawned and took her final breath. Anthony slowly set her head down and glared at Gertrude with a burning hatred. "HAHAHHAHAHA, good show kid!!!" She roared. J.B sighed and grabbed ahold of Anthony in a restraining manor. "What do we do about him" she asked. She didn't want to see another person die, but he was a witness. Gertrude drew her knife and walked toward him, but almost tripped on something. She looked down and her eyes widened. By her feet was a small child around 5, that she had just killed. She took the girls life and made her brother experience that. Gertrude had experience her brothers deaths so she could relate in a way. Gertrude slowly placed her knife in her pocket and felt her sanity slowly come back. "Sigh, another family member" she sighed. "What" Anthony spat as he stared up at her with hatred. "Oh right. Let me explain. You're a witness, but I can't kill you. So welcome to the family" Gertrude explained. He glared down at the floor but he couldn't stop her. Even if he were to convince her to let him go, he would have no where to go. He's all alone in this world. He has no more family. Sighing in defeat he looked up and her and wiggled out of J.B's grasp. "Whatever, where do you even live. And who are you!?!" He questioned. Gertrude shook her head and straightened her skirt. "You haven't heard of me?" She asked bewildered. He shyly shook his head and sighed. "Well I don't have a killer name, but I'm actually Gertrude the ghost hunter", she said. Anthony looked at her in disbelief. "No, Gertrude helps us get rid of ghosts. You're not her" he snickered. Gertrude turned human and gave him the 'are-you-kidding-me' face. He almost choked on air as this happened. "So I have to stay with you!!! The person I used to look up to!!!!" He groaned. "What" Gertrude asked. Anthony wiggled out of J.B's grasp, again, and stood in front of Gertrude. "I wanted to be just like you, but now I'm angry. I hate you" he spat. Gertrude sighed and turned phantom again. She grabbed both Anthony and J.B's hand as she flew out of the window. Sirens were heard in the distance but they stayed quiet. There's not much to talk about when you're getting dragged away by an insane psychopath who kills people........... As they said they would, J.B and Gertrude arrived with cake. Lindo smiled happily as his girlfriend walked through the door, but his smile faltered as his eyes landed on the boy holding her hand. "Sup" J.B said casually as she hugged Jonathan. Jonathan hugged back and smiled at the unknown man walking through the door. "Who are you?" He asked. "Anthony" the boy answered without hesitation. Lindo stood quickly and pulled his Gertrude away from the boys grasp. In his eyes Anthony was trying to take her away from him. So he acted out of course. He kissed her shoulder while holding her waist tightly. Gertrude sighed before clearing her throat, "Well, Anthony meet the rest of our crazy family. Jonathan, Lindo, cloud and Molly". He shook everyone's hand and sat in a chair beside Gertrude. "This is your home now" J.B stated. Molly taped on Anthony's shoulder and stared at him before blankly stating, "she killed my sister so now this is my home. Which family member of yours dis she kill?". Gertrude gasped and glared at molly. Molly simply rolled her eyes and sat down. Anthony avoid eye contact and let a silent tear roll down his face. "Uh, let's eat" Lindo announced. They all looked at each other before digging in. After eating they decided to talk and get the new comer used to this place. He smiled some and even let out small laughs here and there. "So, are you all killers?" He asked. "No only Gertrude is. She can't help it though" Cloud stated in a matter-of-fact tone. "Yeah, wait. What? You guys said you were going to the store" Lindo glared intensely at his girlfriend. She nervously chuckled and looked at J.B. "I haven't killed in at least 5 weeks. I need it" she defended. "You could have told me instead of lying" he hissed. Gertrude sighed and looked down at her lap. "You're right. I'm sorry" she mumbled. Lindo pulled her into a tight hug and whispered "it's fine". They pulled away and looked over at cloud who begun yelling. "What's wrong" J.B asked. "I want the freaking cake", she yelled. Gertrude sighed and cut the cake up and served it to everyone. After cake they decided to call it a night. Gertrude showed Anthony to a guest bedroom and went back to her room. Lindo was already in night clothes and fast asleep. She shook her head and crawled into bed. He pulled close to him and sighed happily. "I love you" he whispered. "I love you too", Gertrude whispered back. They both fell asleep in each other's arms.
