The Purge

Chapter 4

Chapter Four: James POV

In the peephole I saw two masked figures with pitch black eyes. They held up a speaker to the hole and started talking into it.

"You have 2 hours to send out the man in your house or we will murder you're family." Someone said. Their voices sounded creepy and odd. I stumbled back as one of them brung up an axe and threatened to swing in at the door. I raced over to the protection system to see if there was a command to help me, but before I could do anything a message popped up saying that the door was unlocked. Panicking, I quickly pressed "lock" just as one of the strangers started to open the door.

Protect the family. I had to give that man in the basement up to the strangers. It was final. I raced down without telling anyone what I was doing. I opened the door to the underground basement and then slowly snuck down the stairs. Switching the lights on, I scanned my eyes around the room, looking for the stranger.

"Dad, go away."

"Charlie?" I asked confused "What are you doing down here?"

"I said go away! Your not having him!"

"Charlie you don't understand," I muttered

"But I do Dad! You give him up and then they kill him. Then they will come back." Charlie yelled.

I signed "Charlie, I have no choice." As quick as I could, I grabbed him and swung him into my muscley arms. Covering his mouth with my hands, I ran him up the stairs. The wiggling boy was trying to scream, then he started to lick my hand.

"Charlie stop! That's disgusting!" I commented in disgust. Then Charlie managed to put his teeth around some of my skin and bite down....hard. I yelped and dropped him. Taking his grand oppurtunity, Charlie fell to the floor and scuttled back down to the basement and slammed the door shut. I could the faint click of a lock.
