Never let go... [EDGE OF WINTER FAN FICTION] ~book 1~

Chapter 4- i missd alot

The night went by quickly. After the two French Canadians named Richard and Zuc showed up the night went by semi peacefully. I had to get up a few times to check on Brad and Caleb.

Elliot had given Bradley a knife. Talk about paranoid.

   The next day I woke up to Bradley coughing and trying to run after Caleb. I get up and run after them. I see footprints in two different directions. I take the one with less prints, think that meant they were running. As I'm walking I see Elliot.

As I'm about to yell his name I see him drag something. I sneak up to get a better look. I cling to a tree and look.

I see him dragging Richard. As I look closer I realize he's dead. I gasp and fall back.

Elliot looks up and runs towards me. I get up and start to run. Before I can scream for help Elliot grabs me and throws me to the ground I groan. He grabs my arm and pulls me up.

He puts a knife to my neck and says," you make a peep and I will kill you. Now, I'm gonna let go and your not gonna run. Okay."

I nod as a tear slips from my eye

As he starts letting go and I look around. As he lets go I take off. He runs after me and grabs my arm before cutting me.

"Ahhhhhh," I scream

"Shut up," he says ," or I'll give you something to cry about!"

I shut up and he grabs me by the hair. He drags me to the cabin and throws me in a closet before locking it.

"You make a noise ill cut you again," he threatens from the outside

I hear the front door open.

"Where's Elizabeth," I hear Bradley ask

"I don't know. I think she left," Elliot says

"She-she wouldn't leave us,"Caleb says and reins away

"Caleb," I hear Brad say

I find a while in the wall and look through it

"What you'd do to her," Bradley asks and steps closer to Elliot.

"I didn't do anything," Elliot says

"Don't give me the bullshit Elliot,"

"Its dad to you,"

"Not when Caleb's not around,"

"Do you need another lesson," Elliot says and grabs a stick

Brad jumps back, "I can take you now. But, if you hurt Ella, or Caleb a will-"

"You will what," Elliot smirks

"I'll fight you,"

"Oh wow. My boy is all grown up," Elliot groans in a baby voice

"Maybe if I find Ella or Caleb when your not around I'll show them my lessons. Teach them to be strong,"

"No. You won't touch them. You can hurt me. But you hurt them and I will kill you,"

"Oh we both know your bluffing, Bradley," Elliot says laughing

"You should know what a brothers love is," Brad mumbles, "even though it looks like I hate them I don't.

"Then why act like it. You scared," Elliot asks smirking

"Maybe someone made me. Someone taught me a lesson that scared me for life.
  You do that to them. I will kill you. I'm not kidding. You make them hurt like you made me. I hunt you down. You hurt him, I will kill you. You hurt her, I will make you suffer.
    And if you hurt them both and run like you did with me. I will fight you. Even if you end up kill me."

"What if I hurt you," Elliot asks

"that's fine," Brad says shrugging, "there's nothing you haven't done."

  Elliot smirks and pushes Brad against the wall.
Brad gasps in pain as Elliot lifts a knife to his neck.

"Any last words," Elliot ask pushing Brad harder against the wall

"You won't kill me. Not while Caleb's in the other room. We both know that little ice saving act was you trying to get on Caleb and Ella's good side. Now. I'm gonna ask you one more time," Brad says his voice cracking at the end," where is she and what did you do to her?!"

  "You wanna know what I did to her," Elliot asks before leaning in and whispering in brads ear Brad starts breathing heavily before trying to lunge at his dad.

  Elliot slams him back against the wall.

Brad looks pissed.

  "That not all," Elliot says playing with the knife, "then I took this knife and I killed her."

Elliot smirks and lets go of Bradley

"You sick bastard," Brad whisper yells sliding to the floor

"See your just weak," Elliot says placing the knife in his pocket and leaving the house

   "I shouldn't have let her come. I should have told her no. I should of been there. I could of saved her," I he him mumble, "it's all my fault."

He leans his head against the wall and I hear him start sniffing. He leans his head up and looks right at the closet before crying, "I'm so sorry I couldn't save you. When I was younger I promised I would. That's why I acting like I hated you. So my dad wouldn't get to you and hurt."

I feel my heart drop at every word he says. He was protecting me

"I made you hate me you'd be safe. And I promised myself and you that if my dad got ahold of you somehow I'd protect you. And I failed. And your dead and it's my fault. I should have told the police what he did. But I was scared. And now its cost one more person to suffer his rathe. I'm sorry!" He brings his knees to his face and cries.

I feel like knocking on the door but I know it would be bad too.

After what seems like hours I hear a noise and look out the hole. I see Bradley tense and clenching his fists.

"I'm gonna get them out of here Caleb has to grow up. And she needs a proper burial."

He then grabs a bag and runs into the other room.

"I'm back," I hear Elliot yell

  He walks into the room and Caleb and Brad are in and starts talking. Its too mumbled for me to hear though.

  I slip into the corner and try and get as comfy as I can in this not so small closet. 

  I place my head on the wood in the corner and fall asleep.

I know this isn't in the movie but I said I wasn't gonna follow the movie fully. Hold it was okay.

Just so you know this is right before Elliot leaves and they escape.
