Anne

Chapter 10

I wake up with a horrible feeling in my stomach I haven't felt like this before it's a all new pain I have felt many pains in my life but this one is a very sharp pain it's like ten thousand knifes stabbing me in the stomach over and over and over again. I just lay in bed for hours when James comes running in "Mother! I'm hungry!" He explains "Get your own food!" I growl he just slowly walks away then he bolts down the wooden steps.

I spend most of the day in bed with the pain getting worse but I hear a knock on the door. I stumble down the stairs clutching my stomach struggling to stay up I reach my hand out to the door handle. I open the door a crack to see who it is, it's John what the fuck does he want? I open the door wider allowing him in "what's wrong?" He immediately asks. I just groan in response I decide to head back upstairs clutching my stomach and I slam my door I start to hear footsteps behind me.

John barges into the door "what the fuck is wrong with you!" He yells at me "fuck off!" I yell back he sighs and sits back down next to me "why don't you trust me?" He asks putting his hand on my back all of a sudden the pain in my stomach stops I sit up taking his hand off "I just can't." I mumble close enough he can hear me. "Why don't I tell you my story but then you have to tell me yours, okay?" He informs me do I really want to know what happened to him do I really care? Yes I do I do care I care so much it hurts I want to know what made him like this.

I shake my head a yes "okay well I was born in England in a brothel with just my mother she was a loving soul who was in a wretched situation, I never really knew my father until one day I was waiting on one of the beds with all of the other children waiting for their mothers to be done when we all hear a scream from my mothers headquarters, I ran into the room to find my mother on the foot of the bed covered in blood she said my name and something else that I couldn't make out she pointed to the ground and I noticed it was a bloody knife my mothers blood-(he started to get chocked up at this point.) I picked up the knife and I started to cry when I hear laughing it was a man with a dark beard and he smelt like whiskey he said that my mother was a good for nothing twat and that's why he killed her I then lunged at him stabbing threw his throat and he fell to the ground so I started slashing his chest when I was done I ran out of the room out of the brothel and I found a boat I didn't know where it was going but I didn't care I just wanted to be far away from that hell hole, your turn." He just shrugs off like it wasn't a big deal I decide to lay on his lap and I tell him my story.

"Wow." He say after I tell him "That's absurd." He continues I just nod whipping my tears away. He then brings me in to an embrace "we both survived." He breaks the silence I start to sob into his coat he pets my head. I guess I can trust him but not to much I barely know who he is at least he is a serial killer I know that much "Lets go kill." I announce he gives off a relived sigh and we walk down the stairs. "Mother! can we go to!" James yells at me Lilly kind of just plays along I can tell she doesn't really want to "I think Lilly wants to stay home, John can you watch her?" Why did I ask him that what a dumb question "Why I'd love to!" He cheers Lilly has a big grin on her face but James just gives John a dirty look "Okay James let's go." I inform him grabbing my knife James grabs his knife and we start walking deep in the forest we don't talk at all.

We reach the city and we see two little girls walking together on the other side of the road giggling about some boy named Philip "Haha this will be easy." I chuckle James nods in agreement with a big smile on his face. We walk over to them "Hello, do you have any change for the poor?" I ask in my shaky voice one of the girls search in her little bag but it's to late I already stabbed her in the heart and James grabbed the other one by her hair so she doesn't run and he slashes her throat. We leave them slumped over in a bloody mess on the side of the road and we walk back into the forest "I hate John." He blurts out I just ignore him I don't really care what he thinks. We just continue walking back to the cabin when we open the door we see Lilly sleeping in Johns arms who is also sleeping at least they like each other.
