HEX

[25] The last breath

The last breath

CHAPTER XXV

As Alex body touches the ground making me flinch at one moment, Norton didn't  stop Instead he rushes at the stairs.

Before I could catch his speed and follow him my leg gets messed up with the carpet making me land down on the hard floor, I was paralyzed as adrenaline rushes through my body when my eyes meet the cold dead stare of Alex.

I lifted my body upwards with my hand and as I could take one step ahead towards the room sound of the gun going off ripped through my ears as if I was right next to a fireworks display, listening to it go off, with no protection. The echo of the ear-splitting "BANG" carried on for a good minute.

I stood still as my body stays remain in one place and even I could blink my eyes and adjust myself to the current situation another gunshot cracked into the air as loud as thunder in the mansion bringing me back as my feet rushes to the stairs.

When I reach the top floor with my breaths heavy my chest rising up and exhaling the air in one blew. I came in front of the open door and my eyes meet with the worst scenario in front of me.

The first person I see in front is Norton lying on the ground his one hand holding his chest clutching his shirt as the blood spreads around his white cloth and turning the white material into a deep crimson shade.

As my gaze travel in front, I see Roses body lying near the lamp stand, a thick rope tied around her neck her eyes were close as her skin had already started showing the effects of she was dead. Her deathly white skin pulled tight against her bones, her eyes open wide, staring bloody murder at me forever.

A sound of someone's step makes me turn back as I see Mia walking around the room, her hand holding the gun tightly as she takes few step near Norton's dead body and kneels down as she traces her fingers from his forehead and till the skin of his cold lips a tear falls down from her eyes on Nortons face as her silent tears turns into heavy snobs and loud cries.

I was late, I was too late to know what really happen in this room. According to me Norton killed Rose and Mia killed Norton but how did it happen so fast, and why was Mia crying when whatever she did was for saving Rose.

Mia's cries turn into loud scream which tore through me like a great shard of glass. I felt my eyes widen and pulse quicken, my heart thudding like a rock rattling in the box. The scream got louder as the blood drained from my face before I was even aware of making a conscious decision my legs gave up as my ears started to hurt as the scream pierces through my earbuds.

  I could feel my heart beat... every single pound in my chest. Not through my ears, that was occupied by the loud screams, came and deep voice of something different; drowning it out in the ears. But I couldn't stay there  I had to but I couldn't. There was a great pressure on me at every beat. I  couldn't stay over here as the room started to shake as my legs tremble with the sudden force and strange things. It felt like an earthquake come.

It remained when I stood and stumbled outside the room trying to relieve myself but I was so wrong I was forgetting that I was trapped, trap inside the HEX house.

This pressure urges the words, this horrible pressure. I tried sleeping through it, drums beating along with the muscle; but the music lost, ran out of time. I don't know for what reason I have to be placing these words here. I started in an attempt at relief, from the beating; some trickle of words to relieve the flood. I can feel it still, beating, pulsing, thumping. It didn't work; why won't it stop  

My feet were shaking with the fear rising deep inside as I reach the stairs everything started to change the walls started to crack showing the black lines on them the colour started to fade and as I took my feet on the top stair I saw a dark silhouette  standing on the last step as soon as flick my eyes the face got clear.

Stella was standing on the last step I didn't even get time to think as her spirit rushes towards me.

I turn back and start to go to the opposite side when I see something scarier
blocking my way.

The fear consumes the whole me as the floor I'm standing starts cracking pulling me with it as the floor falls down.

I'm going to die was the only thing I was knowing at the moment.

My life rushes through my eyes all the happy moment's Mom, dad, Avon, Nina, Char, Maddie we all together posing for our family photo laughing in front of the camera and then someone's else face flashes through my eyes James, his weird smile and then I was already drowning in the darkness.

Every sound around I turn into a silent music, my eyes start to get drowsy as my head begins to fill heavy and I take my last breath in present and past mystery.

Everything goes silent as I meet the deeper darkness.
