Chapter 5 (Matt)

For a while she kept quiet. She must be in shock. She will come around.  She will be glad that I took her with me, far away from there.

She is asleep now. Or she fainted. I can't tell. I have been driving for five hours non-stop. I hope we get there soon.  To the place that used to be my own.

I didn't always live in such a small, shitty, and snobby little town. I used to live in the coutry, far away from that town. I am going to that house.

If I find anybody living in it... Well they will just have to go now, won't they. Nobody can live in my house.

Kasey sleeps on. I wonder if she is dreaming. I wonder if I'm scaring her. Maybe she wants to go home.  Part of me wants to take her back. But how can I just forget about her?

I know that I'm almost to the house. Only an hour left, at the most. I hope she stays asleep until I get there. That will make the transition easier.

I love her. All of this is for her and me, so we can build a life together. I look over at her. She is so innocent. So pretty. She will thank me some day.

We reach the house. There are two cars parked on front of it. I decide to pull the park around the back of the house and park in the forrested part of the yard.

The house is surrounded by 32 acres of forrest. I can find a place in the forrest to hide my car. I get out of the car and head to the trunk of my car. All I have is a crowbar. That will do.

I lock the car door, making sure that Kasy is locked in. I start walking toward the house, crowbar in hand.

I'm really not in the mood to get my hands dirty, so I hope they leave without a fight. I'm at the house, I consider knocking, but hey, this is my house.

I push on the screen door. It swings open easily, revealing the house I grew up in. Everything looks similar to the way I left it. Perfect.

I don't hear anybody in the house. I am searching every room, they have to be here somewhere. I go into the basement, I will use this as Kasey's room

I hear a man and a woman arguing softly in the room next to me. The basement has two rooms, separated by a door and a very thin wall. I open the door leading to the other room.

They both jump up. The shock shows on their faces. "Who the hell are you?" The man asks me. He is short, can't be much taller than 5 foot. His face is wrinkled and worn, and his brown eyes are fading.

I ignore his question simply say "Please leave my home, or I will use force."

The woman gasps. She looks at the man, who I assume to be her husband. She is just as old and wrinkly as he is. Her eyes are bright blue. They pierce my soul.

"I don't know who you think you are young man" The elderly gent says "But this is my house and you cannot tell me to leave."

I shrug. "I did warn you." I raise the crowbar up above my head, and bring it down on his forehead with all my strength.  He falls to the ground. His wife cries out and drops down to help him.

The blood seeps from the wound in his head. There's no way he's getting up. Ever again.

The woman screams and stands there like she can't decide to run, or help her husband. I would suggest running. But you can't help the mortally shocked.

I step towards her. I want this out of the way. "Why are you doing this?" The woman asks, her eyes full of tears. She sinks to the ground, sobbing.

"I told you" I remind her "This is my house." And with that, a mighty blow lands on her head with a thud. I drag the bodies out and bury them.

I leave to go get Kasey. Stopping only to rinse the blood from my hands.
