I Choose You

Chapter Thirty Seven - I Spy Death

 

[Goals for the chapter: VOTES - 70 // COMMENTS - 3]

 

I crawled through the little door, flashlight in hand. We had been searching for a way into the work yard for hours, but to no avail. Of course, going through the open gate would have been just fine, but apparently it wasn't "secure enough", as if crawling throughy ducts and holes in walls were. It's common sense.

 

"Psssttt, this way," Danni whispered, pointing her light towards another hole, which wasn't as dark as the others. This place was worn down like hell, with holes in the ceilings and walls and floors. It was dusty and cobwebby, not to mention major creeky and in need for some oil. It had to be one of the oldest things i've ever seen, and it was beyond me how it was still standing. No wonder why they needed to hold people captive to work on this piece of junk. I wasn't even sure of what it was meant to be.

 

I followed Danni down the thin tunnel, pushing rocks out of my way as I went. The passageway seemed never-ending a first, until the light started to shine through - literally. Danni put her finger over her lips as she gingerly stepped out of the hole at the end onto the dirt. I followed, looking around. There was dirt everywhere, as well as little patches of thin, dying grass here and there. There was a fence surronding us, barbed wire across the top. In the far corner, there were bricks and wheelbarrows, shovels and axes. In the other corner, there were some - what seemed like - metal scraps and a pot. The rest of the place was empty, except for a well that may or may not have had water in it, all the way across the dirt, up against the fence. The yard iself, though, was huge.

 

Keeping my hand on the brick of the building at all times, I made my way around it, peeking around the corner as everyone else except John went to invertigate the brick and metal piles. John went around the other side of the building. On the side, there was a dead tree, bare of leaves with a rope hanging from one of its lower branches. There were knots scattered all over the rope, all of them at least five inches from the bottom. The rope didnt touch the dirt below it. There were buckets sitting next to beat-up cement stairs, which lead to a door, the glass broken. The buckets were empty, although the held a strange and putrid stench. I kept walking, temporarily taking my hand off the building to make my way around the steps. The paint on the siding was peeling, some of it sitting on the ground. The gate continued all the way around the other side, topped with barbed wire, and stones lined the bottom. As i made my way around the corner, i saw John standing there, scratching at the chipping paint. "What you see?" I asked, joining him in the paint scraping. He looked up from the wall.

 

"Well. . ." he started, "Weird, weirder or weirdest first, which is totally creepy?"

 

"Weird to weirdest, go."

 

"Okay, so, there was a lot of crap back there, like, more than what was in the back yard thing. There were some rodents - a mouse, I think - and a window in the house. There was a knife on the windowsill. I kept walking, and came across some sort of garden. There was a sign in it, and freshly dug up dirt. . . the sign said Currently Fertilizing, so I left it. As i kept going, there was more and more human items. . . clothes, shoes, et cetera. Then it happened. There was a damn eyeball on the floor. I went back to the little garden, afraid to walk past the freaking eye, when i saw a shovel up against the bricks. So, I decided lets piss them off and dig up their fertilizing crops. Well, what I found made me literaly puke. Like, seriously, if you check the little garden, you'll find my vomit. Anyway, I dug up some, uh. . ." he inhaled, then shook his head, "Bones. And other stuff. Human stuff. I think they killed someone back there. What did you see, Alex?" I stared at him, my hand frozen against the building.

 

"Um," I looked over John's shoulder as a person appeared. His eyes were wide, a black mask cover his mouth and nose. Attached to his arm was Holly, who had her hans tied behind her back. John turned around his hands behind his hand. He dug into his pocket as we all stared, and came up with a pocket knife. He flipped it open and waved me over. I took two small steps towards him as he reached into his other pocket, and pulled out a small bottle of pepper spray. I took it in my hand, then shoved it up my shirt sleeve.

 

"Alex!" Holly screamed, shaking in the man's hands. He yanked her arm, pulling her backwards.

 

"And you are?" he asked, his voice loud. I took a few steps back and swallowed, eying my sister.

 

"Does it matter? Who the hell are you to hold Holly like that?"

 

"I am in charge of little Holly. She deserves punishment. We were just heading off to the little shed, right Hols?" She nodded quickly, her eyes glossy and scared.

 

"To do what?" I asked. They can't kill her, too. No. They can't kill anyone. "What did she even do?"

 

"Oh, Holly knows what she did, right, sweetbuns?" She nodded again, and looked up at the man. He nodded.

 

"I. . .I didn't clean up my plate when I should have. Then they yelled at me, which I deserved, and hit me. . .I hit back. I was a bad, bad girl, Alex." she said.

 

"And what are you going to do to punish her? That was a bad thing to do, Holly, you know better." I said, raising my voice. I had to pretend to scold my little sister to get her back.

 

"Why don't you show him?" She nodded, and the man let go of her arm as she thrusted her hips forward, then twisted around, moving her hips. She stopped, looked at me, then turn, showing me her tied hands, which had something in them. I looked closer. A cond0m.

 

"She deserves it. She was such a bad girl. Get her hard, harder than you ever have." He looked around, then back at me, grabbing her waist. Suddenly, John jumped forward and grabbed Holly throwing her back to me.

 

"I'll beat your ass!" he yelled, running towards me. Then it all went dark.
