The man reached into his leather jacket, and pulled out a butcher knife. I gulped and looked around for a weapon or something I could defend myself with. I spotted a butter knife on the table in front of me. I grabbed it and waved it around in front of me like, "FEAR ME! I HAVE A BUTTER KNIFE, I WILL KILL YOU ALL, YOU PEASANTS!" But the man looked at me like I was crazy, which wasn't fair. He was the one that was crazy. He ran forward then stopped in his tracks.
"Why did you stop?" I asked
The man's eyes widened. "Oh no...no no no"
The window of the kitchen smashed and a boy and a girl crawled through it.
"Dammit!" the boy yelled. "I hate it when I get glass cuts!"
The boy looked about 13 years old. He had short blonde hair and piercing green eyes, which looked like they could stare into your soul. He wore a simple yellow T-shirt that said, "I'm not always sarcastic, sometimes I'm asleep". He winced as he put one leg over the shattered window. The girl just sighed and pushed him in, which resulted in the boy falling face first onto the floor.
"Maria!", he yelled. "What was that for?"
The girl Maria scowled. "Maybe, it was because this boy over there is between life and death and you should help him!"
The boy looked up. "Oh right"
The girl named Maria had long choppy hair that went down to her shoulders. Her skin was the colour of a chocolate bar, and she had freckles surrounding her nose. She wore a pink T-shirt and a pair of jeans. The shirt read "If you don't back off, you won't make it to next week"
The boy looked up at the man, who was holding the butcher knife above his head.
"Oh its you again", Maria sighed
The man glowered. " This time Maria, I will destroy you!"
The boy put his hand up. "So...you're not going to destroy me?", he asked.
The man grinned insanely. "Oh no Mitchell, you won't be left out"
Mitchell looked at me and mouthed,"Grab the knife"
I shook my head. Mitchell nodded. "Do it", he mouthed
I hesitated. If this was the only way to get these guys out of the house...
I lunged for the knife on the table, grabbed it, then creeped up behind the man.
Maria laughed. "Brace for impact!",she said.
The man looked confused and he turned, just as I drove the knife into his chest.
Ooohhh..I wonder what happens next! Come back soon to find out!
