The Lights (A Rocky Lynch Story)

Chapter 35

"Don't move." Derrick said, pressing the knife to Ross' neck.

"Let him go!"I said taking a step forward.

"It's me you want not him! Let him go! You don't have to do this." I pleaded.

"Actually, yes I do." he drug the knife across Ross' throat. Ross gurgled as blood spilled from his lips and throat.

"Oh my God." I heard Bec whisper from beside me. Derrick let Ross' body fall to the floor, Derrick wore a sickening smile.

"Your turn." he turned to Shraon, who was closest to him and before Bec and I could move, he had stabbed her in the neck. He turned to Bec and as he was bringing the knife down I grabbed it twisted his arm and kicked him in the stomach. He fell and I held the knife. I let all my anger out, I stabbed him in the head countless times. His blood sprayed my face, neck and arms. I heard sobbing and looked up, Riker was kneeling beside his brother's dead body. Bec was just standing still; emotionless. I looked down at Derrick, or what was left of him. His head was a mesh of fluids and broken skull. I threw the knife down and wiped my face smearing the blood.

"We better leave before others come back and see this." I said.

"What about-" she Bec said pointing to Ross' body.

"We have to leave him and . . . Sharon. She was a sweet girl, young. God." I said.

"We- we can't just leave them."

"We can't exactly take them." I said back.

I went over to Riker and kneeled down beside him, "Riker I'm so sorry. But we have to go."

"Why? Why did I let him come along?" Riker sobbed. I helped to stand and, reluctantly, we left.

"Riker, it's not your fault. It's mine. I let you guys come and now. Now Sharon and Ross are dead." I said. Ashia and Bec were walking beside me.

"God, what am I going to tell my parents? The others."

"The truth, he was murdered. You found him. That's all."

-----------------------------------------We got back to Riker's house, we had our story down. We didn't want the others going after them, they would only get killed to. We got into the house, everybody gasped at my predictiment.

"What happened?" Rocky asked concered.

When I sat down he sat down beside me, Riker on the couch across from me. Ashia and Bec were in the corner.

"We were walking home, Ashia, Bec, Sharon, Ross, Riker and I. We had gone to town eariler. We- we were walking home, wh-when we were jumped. Before I could do anything, Riker had been knocked out," I looked over to Riker who was holding a ice-pack to his head. "Sharon and Ross' throats were slit. I fought him off and he ran off, with Sharon and Ross' bodies. I had tried to stop their bleeding eariler in the attack. That's why I'm covered in it." by the time I had stopped telling my story, everybody was crying. Mark was comforting Stormie and the kids were all crying on the couch together. I turned to Rocky, "I'm so sorry. I-" I never got to finish that sentence, because he hugged me. Hugged me harder than he should've.

He whispered in my ear, "I know."

If only had I known what that meant at the time.

Woah, another chapter up. It's sad :(

But on a happier note it's my Birthday!!
