The cop held my head on the car with a firm grip. I did somehow manage to escape the grip and make a run for it. The woods was the best place to loose Vanessa and the cop.
I walked for hours and hours, the sky getting darker and darker. I sit down on a large rock and think. I was cold and tired. Little specks of water began to hit my arms. I look up and the rain got heavier. I feel for my phone, and pull it out only to see that it's almost dead. I had missed calls from Edd mostly. A text from Matt and a missed call from Tord.
"Wha-?" I ask myself. Tords never really called me. I swipe the notification and I place the phone to my hear, listening to the ring.
[Tords POV]
Vanessa and the cop left before I even got outside. I assumed that the cop took Margret to jail. Although, what for? I go back inside and go to my room. I turn on the tv and during the middle of the show, my phone vibrates in my pocket. I pull it out and see Margretts picture behind her name. My eyes widened.
"Hello?" I answered and shut off the tv.
"Tord? Listen, my phones about to die and I'm lost in the woods" she explains.
"The woods by the park?" I ask, slipping on my shoes.
"Yeah, I think so" she replies.
"I'll come look for you. Are you okay?"
"I think so, I just-" her phone died before she could finish her sentence.
I walked around with my phone as a flashlight in the woods for a little less than an hour. I stop to just take a quick break, but then I hear the leaves crunch in the distance. I stepped closer to the sound and saw Margrett. She was running. I smiled, thinking she was excited to see me.
"Tord! Run!" She told me. I raise an eyebrow, then hear a cock of a shotgun. I follow after her and turn off my flashlight.
We made it out of the woods and we hid in the playground.
"What's going on?" I whispered to her. She just stares at me and she wraps her arms around me. I hug her back and kneel down. She does the same and just rests her head on my chest.
"It's the cop" she finally spoke.
"He's trying to kill you?" I ask. She nods her head and I could see the tears in her eyes.
[Margretts POV]
We snuck home and everyone was asleep. I walked in my room and saw Tiffany all curled up. I frown and go down in the living room and plop on the couch.
I awoke to the sound of the house phone ringing. It was loud and annoying. The night was still young and as I stood up, I was trying to think of who would call at this hour. I pick up the phone and put it up to my ear.
"Hello?" I tiredly answer.
"Margrett, you might have lived another day but when I get ahold of you, there will be nothing left" a deep voice echoed through the phone. I held the phone up to my ear in shock that a cop would say this! I immediately hung up and ran upstairs. I slept on my bedroom floor and hoped to god that this wasn't real.
Morning came and Tom, Matt, Edd and Tiffany went out to get breakfast then go to the movies. I thought Tord left as well because he hasn't come out of his room and so I thought he left last minute. I sat on the couch and watched tv while eating glazed donuts. I was in my own world when an intimidating knock on the front door interrupted me. I look out the big window and see a cop car parked out on the street.
I turned the tv off and grabbed a gun that I hid in the kitchen drawer. I slowly approached the door and shouted.
"Go away!"
"Open the damn door Margrett" the cop ordered me.
"If you don't leave I'm gonna go out there and shoot you dead!"
"If you don't open the door I'm gonna kick it down and then you'll be in real trouble"
"Come on! I dare you!" I told him as I cocked the handgun and aimed it.
"What in the name of hell are you doing?" I hear Tord ask tiredly behind me. I jump and bump into him.
"Tord! He's gonna kill me! The cop! He's here!" I started panicking. Tord slowly took the gun out of my hand and he looked back at the door.
"I'll-" he began to speak but the door busted open. Tord pushed me back and we ran upstairs to his room. We moved his dresser in front of the door, then I just collapsed on the floor and broke down. All you hear is gunshots and the shouting on the other side of the door. Tord gave me a comforting hug, but that didn't stop what was going on.
