I'm still here

Chapter 18

"Grandpa!" I screamed out loud.
Dad sat at the door. He was too numb to say anything.

"Father Edward! Help us please!" I was crying like a maniac.

Hadley wasn't there.
That was the time when I lost all my hopes.
I understood that we all are going to die.
Mom was still unconscious.

I went outside to look for Father Edward.
"Father?"
"Lisa. I need to go to the church to seek someone's help. I would be needing another priest with me," Father said.

"Okay Father."
I had to find Hadley.
I went looking for her in each and every room but I couldn't see her anywhere.

Then I went to my room.
It was empty too but I could hear some sounds from the closet.

"Hadley, is that you?" I asked.

She didn't answer.
I opened the closet and saw Hadley sitting with her legs crossed, her face as white as milk and scars all over them.
She was laughing.

"Father says that calling out to you makes you stronger. Really? Get up Wendy Cyrus. I'm calling out to you." I said.

She looked up and within a second pulled me inside.
I let out a loud scream.
I fell onto a hard floor.
I couldn't recognize the place.

"Where am I?" I asked but there was no one to answer to my question.

"You are at my place"

I turned back to see Hadley walking with a knife towards me.

"Your place?"

"Yes. I was killed in the closet that was kept in this basement." She answered, stepping closer to me.

"Hadley don't do this. I am your sister" I pleaded.

"Hadley isn't here anymore" she said laughing.

I knew I couldn't give up.

"Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name...."

I was interrupted by Hadley's screaming.

"You God doesn't exist okay? Atleast not here. This is my place" She said.

"You can do whatever you want to. Please take me. She is a child. Leave her." I said.

"I'll take all of you. It's your time to meet Granny and Grandpa now," She said laughing.

She was walking towards me with the knife.
I tried running but somehow I just couldn't move.
I was paralyzed.

She sat beside me and put a deep cut on my right arm.

"No." I screamed " please don't do this"

The pain was too much to bear.

She held the knife in both her hands and raised them.
I knew she was about to stab me.
I wish I coule help my family.

I closed my eyes and waited to die.

Just when I saw Hadley being pushed away by someone.
I could finally move.
I looked around to see if it was Father Edward but I saw someone else.

"Granny?"

******************************
Late update. I'm sorry :(
Actually I'm a little unwell that's why I couldn't update yesterday.
This update was short but I'll post a longer update next time.

And no I haven't read all the books requested by you all.
Like I said, I need some time to do the same but I'll definitely do it.

Happy reading!
