Run!

Chapter 20

I fixed the bed and walked out of the room. I almost dropped Kaytie when I heard a gun shot. I went outside and saw Kylee on the floor with a gun in her hand.BI started crying a bit.

I know that maybe I hadn't known  Kylee much but I still loved and cared for her.

I bent down towards Kylee. She started mumbling something. I couldn't make out the words that were coming from her mouth, because of two reasons:

1. She was mumbling and
2. She was saying something I wouldn't expect.

"Mary-- kill-- Avery-- or take her with-- you."

"What?!?!"

"Take-- Her with you-- I was meant to be...dead."

---------

She stopped breathing...and died.

I didn't know what to do now. I couldn't help but cry. I knew I had to stay strong and fight this through. I closed Kylee's eyes and got up.

"What did she mean by, "Take her with you, I was meant to be dead?"

I guess she committed suicide. Probably 'cause she couldn't take it with her life anymore.

I heard the door swing open and I turned around. I saw Kaytie and Avery standing at the door. Until Avery saw her mom on the floor, she came running and fell to the floor.

"Mom. Please mom! Come back!"

I was really surprised, because for the age she was, she understood. I bent down and hugged Avery. Kaytie came from behind me and sat beside me.

"Mom, what happened?", Kaytie asked curiously.

"Kylee is in up in the sky" I said trying to make not sound as bad as it really was.

"Cool! She gets to fly!?", Kaytie asked. I felt like giggling a bit, because in a serious moment she added in a small joke. Before I could even smile Avery got mad.

"You idiot! She isn't flying!She is DEAD!", Avery said so frustrated.

"Calm down Avery! She doesn't know about things like this."

I got up and took Avery and Kaytie inside. I hugged Avery but she took my hand off her. I never saw how much a death could change a little girl like her. Avery ran into her room that she shared with Kylee and locked the door. I wasn't quite sure about what I was going to do now but maybe for starters I could go do something with Kylee's body. I wasn't really sure that we'd need the basement so I dragged her body to the back of the cabin and I shoved it down through the little window.

I closed the window and hid the window by covering it with the long grass.

I went back around the cabin and went inside. I didn't know what I would now. My life was just a huge wreck. And now I had two children to take care of.

I fell right onto the couch to rest. I was having a terrible day.

I closed my eyes.

I heard a knock on the door.

I wondered who could be knocking on the door.

I walked up and opened the door.

I saw a letter on the welcome matt.

I picked the letter up and opened it. The I read it.

To: Kylee's friend

From:Your only neighbor ;)

Hey I think your name is Mary, Im not sure though, I just wanted to say I saw you drag the dead body and saw the shooting. Now that you are alone I will come at night and kill your children one by one, and last, YOU! My parents aren't here anymore but you are, and you are such a disturbance! So I will kill your first child tonight.

Maybe, K-A-Y-T-I-E! REMEMBER, TONIGHT!! So, sure, lock your doors but I will come in one way or another!NO ONE WILL HEAR YOU SCREAM!!

Sincerely, your friendly neighbor
