Thank you so much...all of you❤❤

The energy sources.
I know it's the closet but what should I do.
Maybe break it down with a hammer.
But that needs a lot of force and I'm already injured.

I ran towards the kitchen to look for something that could help.
I don't know how but there was an Axe in the kitchen.

I took it and ran towards the basememt.
Hadley wasn't there.
I used that axe to break the closet, but it just wouldn't break.
Even after multiple strokes there wasn't a single scratch on it.

I couldn't think of a way to destroy it.
I thought of burning it but Wendy wouldn't let me do the same.

I went upstairs to look for something like petrol.
I found a bottle of kerosene in the kitchen.
I quickly grabbed it and went to the basement.
Just as I was about to pour it over the closet, I felt a sharp pain in my back.

She stabbed me.
I kicked her away somehow and threw the kerosene over the closet.

I was carrying a lighter with me but it just wouldn't light up.
I tried multiple times but it was all in vain.
Hadley was walking towards me with the knife in her hand.
I could barely move.

But I could see a light bulb there.
It took all my strength to get up and grab the wire it was attached to.

Hadley was pulling me back, stabbing my leg.
I pushed her away and immediately threw the bulb on the closet.
Within seconds it turned into huge flames.

"No..!!!! Stop" Hadley screamed.
She fainted.
I ran towards her.
"Baby are you okay?"
She didn't respond.

I was bleeding profusely.
Yet I managed to pick her up and take her upstairs.

I lay her beside mom.
"Lisa?"
"Mom?are you okay?" I asked.

"Yes," she said.

"Mommy.."
"Hadley! Baby. You're awake" I almost screamed.

Finally everything was sorted.
We were safe now.
We didn't have to deal with Wendy now.
She was gone.

Dad was sleeping on the couch.
I had no idea how he came there.

"Dad! Wake up"

He opened his eyes.
"Lisa. My god! You're bleeding. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine Dad," I said.

I was happy.
We were free now.

It took us a few days to leave that house but we shifted.
Though we were out of danger, we didn't want to live there anymore.

Whatever I faced would probably scar me forever.

A week later-

I was sitting with Hadley.
She was doing her homework and I was just having a look at her books.

I saw a cute diary, decorated with pink paper flowers.
I opened it.
The first page read
Katie Winston.
2nd December, 1871
