It's You

-Shayne-

I held my breath as they drive away.
I knew what my fate was, I was just hoping I could change theirs..

I didn't give them enough time to warn them not to look In the back..
I couldn't have warned them about his intentions.

I stood in the same place, pulling out a syringe and a note from my pocket.

'You've been injected with poison. Stall your friends in the old farm house and you will receive the antivenin' it read.

I sighed.
I wasn't going to make it through this, but no matter what I knew they would bring them back here...
This is his safe place..

I walked into the kitchen, turning on the knobs for the gas stove.
I was starting to feel woozy when I reached for the matchsticks.

I let the gas run a short while, I needed to know they were safe from this.. from me.

What I was about to do would hopefully stall him and give them some time to work out why he's doing this..
To work out him.

He's cunning and ruthless, if only they knew what he truely had in store for them.

I stared down at the matchsticks as I grabbed one out.

I'd seal the fate of myself and anyone left in this house if I do this..
Who am I kidding, it's already too late.

I gently pressed a matchstick against the box, closing my eyes as I counted to three.

One...

Two...

Three....

Strike.
