Anne

Chapter 9

I went to town again the next morning to steal food and to also kill because yesterday I didn't really have a thrill of killing I was just doing it for my protection and that's not very fun.

I walk into the market place when I hear a woman screaming a high pitch scream I start to laugh a little but then I start to walk where I heard the scream and I see John standing over a bloody limp body he notices me so I jump back behind a wall "Who's there?" He asks probably knowing it was me I decide to walk out "Oh it's you." He just mumbles he looks down at the bloody body "Is something wrong?" I ask studying his face he has a slight frown he's thinking really hard I wonder what he was thinking about.

"She said she knew my mother." He answers tears start to form in his eyes I walk closer to him "How?" I ask he just looks at me with his watery eyes "They were in the same brothel." He answers back looking at the dead body "Was she?" I ask "Yes, I remember seeing her while I was waiting for my mother to be done." He starts to sob while saying this. I lunge into him with a big hug I don't know why I'm doing this but I start to cry with him "What happened?" I ask releasing our hug "Can we talk later?" He asks I nod a yes. I walk behind the wall and I just sit there I can still hear him sobbing I start to cry again but I quickly stop why am I crying for him I don't even know him.

I start walking back to the forest when I feel a hand on my shoulder I shoot back and it's John "Can we go to your place?" He asks with tears in his eyes still the hot sun is making them sparkle. "Sure." I nod walking toward the cabin, the whole way we are silent I open the door and Lilly runs up to us "Mother!, who's this?" She asks looking up at John with her bright blue eyes "This is John, he kills people to." I inform her "Wow!" She cheers with a big smile on her face and she runs away James is reading by the fire not paying no attention at all. I lead John to the living area "You have kids?" He asks playing with his knife "Yes." I say but I start remembering that night ugh fuck! I'm starting to cry again "Don't worry you don't have to say anything." He reassures me.

We just sit there in that position for a couple minutes when James slams down his book "That ending was the worst ending ever!" He pouts "It's alright you can make your own ending!" John informs him "Don't talk to me!" James retorts I shoot him a look and he just shuts his mouth and walks to his room. "I think I should go." John breaks the silence "Okay." I answer back. He runs out the door I go up the stairs to the children's room I open the door I see James sobbing into his pillow "What was that?" I demand "I don't like him I hate him!" He retorts back and continues to sob in his pillow. I just shake my head and I leave, how could he hate him he didn't even met him. Maybe next time it'll be better, Lilly seemed to like him at least, what am I thinking I seriously just met him but he is so sweet but could I ever trust him what if he turns out to be a complete cock muffler. What if he hurts me or my children then I'll hurt him what if I actually hurt him. I can't think about this anymore I have to sleep.
