A Little Lost

Chapter 16

I was staring out the window and listening to the teacher ramble on about something in the 1920's. I saw Austin on the ground. I gasped and stood up.

" Rebecca! What seems to be the problem?"

" I'm not feeling well sir. May I be excused?"

He nodded and went back to his lecture. I ran from the class room and sprites down the hall. I stopped in the hall thinking of which way was faster.

" Rebecca!!" I turned and saw Austin. I ran to him and ran into his arms. He hugged me back swiftly and tightly. He started squeezing me.

" Austin stop it your hurting me!" I said trying to pull back. He kept squeezing me tighter and tighter. I started struggling for air.

" Austin!!" I yelled. He started laughing then his voice changed and so did his shape. It was a woman laughing and she grabbed my hair and pulled down the hall. I screamed and started kicking. I looked back and saw my mom dragging me down the hall. I grabbed her hand and yanked hard. She stopped only slam me against the wall the slap me across the face. I yelled and cradled my cheek. She smiled and said

" I can't wait to kill you. But I'll have my fun first."

" Becca!!!" I heard then my mom turned to see Jhonny running down the hall.

" Jhonny No!! Stay Back!!" He stopped and his eyes went wide.

" Momma?" He asked looking around me and cocking his head to the side. She said

" Hi baby. I'm just punishing Becca for being a bad girl and back talking mommy." She threw me back and I rolled till I hit a wall. My back hit and I coughed up blood.

" Jhonny no!!" I said coughing some more. He looked to me then turned to run. Mom grabbed him by the throat. He started kicking and screaming.

" Let. Him. Go." I said trying to stand up. She smiled and squeezed. I heard a snap. Then she let him fall to the ground. Lifeless. I screamed and tears fell from my eyes. I felt the ground shake and so did she. The world pealed away and there was nothing but the purple abyss and a vast galaxy of stars. Jhonny laid there still motionless. I hobbled over to him and collapsed. His eyes were still wide with fear and I grabbed his lifeless body. And held him close. I cried. My body shook. My baby... Is gone... Forever...
