Echo

Chapter 4

Today is the day. I couldn't do this any longer. Couldn't hide it. I knew where I was going, I had to go there. Once I got there everything would be okay. "Ellie" I whispered. "Crystal". Both girls came out of their hiding spots.

Ellie and Crystal were my only friends. They are both like me, are parents have even worked together before. That's how we met.

As we looked around these dark woods, we knew what to do. We called all of our parents, we all said the same message.

"Hey Dad, me Ellie and Crystal can't take it anymore. Tonight it's all over, we're going to all die. All die because of you and your wicked ways. If only you'd listened and stopped kill-" we all stopped talking there and screamed. It was part of the act. Then I fired blanks into a tree to make it sound like a shootout.

Although all of our Dad's could be heard screaming on the phone, there was one voice I was listening for. Jeremy's. We were painting going to get him tomorrow night. Not us, the cops.

As we began to walk, Ellie wiped out her phone and said "Hey Siri? Directions to the nearest police station." Siri answered "Finding "Directions to the nearest police station"."

Following the directions carefully, we ended up at the Charleston Police Station about 20 minutes later. Before going in, we all pulled off our bandages and eye patches. I was covered in cuts from my wrist to my shoulder. I had gashes on my face and legs. Ellie had a black eye, cuts all up and down her legs and a bloody lip. Crystal was the worst, she had cuts up and down her arms and legs, She had three deep cuts on her belly, she had 2 black eyes, a bloody lip and a bloody nose.

When we entered the woman and the front desk got up and ran over to us. "Oh my gosh are you ok?!?" She asked worry on her face as she led us back to a waiting area.

"We're fine, these are our normal wounds. We get them all the time." Crystal answered.

"From who?" The lady asked.

"Our parents." Crystal answered

"Why do they do that?" The woman asked.

"They're murders. All on the list of the most wanted people in America, but please we have to save my brother." I answered, my eyes pleading with her at the end of my sentence.

"P-please, save Jeremy." I said through sobs. Ellie and Crystal began to pat my back and sooth me.

"Don't worry we'll find him. Just tell us your address."

"111 Dartmouth Road." I said. She jumped on her computer then gasped.

"You're Riley Copeland, one of the most famous murderesses. I'm afraid we'll have to take you away ma'am." She said handcuffing me.

"Ok, but please understand, I didn't kill anyone it was my father. My brother didn't kill anyone either. It was my father. If you search my house I have a scrapbook under my bed of each and every one of his victims." I said glancing at Crystal and Ellie.

"Can my friends go with you to get my cat and my brother, I know you're cops and all and that they'll be in good hands but my brother is a little shy and my cat loves to hide." I said giggling a bit. I wiped my tears and smiled.

The woman looked at me and smiled back. "How old are you and your brother?" She asked. "I'm 13 he's 6." I answered looking at her, the smile still plastered across my face.
