Don't Die!

Chapter 8

I just knew where to go. My dog must be in that old bungalow. I just told my parents that I'd be back soon but they didn't let me go.

They said it's very dark. That was quite true but saving Marie from Ray is very important now.

I ain't so sure that Ray took Marie and is going to harm it but who else would have unlocked it from the hook. He is the only one who came.

I just called him to my home to spy him on his characteristics in the home. But now that Marie is gone, I felt very foolish to do such things.

I went to my room and tried sleeping but I couldn't. After one hour, I knew that I couldn't wait anymore.

I had to sneak out of the home. It's dark out there and I do not have the guts to go out alone. I had a plan of calling James but he wouldn't step out of his house as he is less braver than me.

I wanted to go alone but it was difficult to calm myself down. I just wore my shoes, my jacket and covered my face with the hood and went downstairs.

I went slowly and opened the door in such a way that it didn't make any sound.

But then, I heard a voice,"Stop right there. I know you care for the dog but you cannot risk yourself out at this time. There are ferocious dogs and kidnappers out there."

Who else could it be? It was my mom.

She calmed me down and made me sleep with her and dad so that I wouldn't slip away.

Next day morning at 5 am, I ran to the old bungalow and the gate was slightly open, enough for a dog or a boy to sneak in. I ran straight towards the back of the bungalow and I could smell something nasty.

I couldn't bear it. But I didn't stop. I spotted three graveyards over there. There was no name over there.

On the third graveyard was Marie sleeping. At least, that's what I thought. I spotted more cuts on its body. I just tried to wake it up and urge it to go to home until I realised it isn't alive anymore.

I can feel tears past my cheeks. Oh my poor dog! My dad too felt a little sad about it. My mom was actually relieved from that continuous two day barking.

There was nothing else I could do about it. Just create a small graveyard and writ Marie on it. James said it's fine and it'll be alright.

But how can it. It's because of me that the poor dog died. I am the one who got Ray to my home. Now I can't tell it to anyone too.
