Chapter 8

Mike POV:

I woke up, felt a cold breeze come in. I look around, and I saw lights.

The truck doors were open enough so you stretch your legs. I heard talking, I noticed the voices and they were Harold’s and Kate’s. I tried to make out what they were saying but, I was too tired. I dozed off a little, then I woke up again and I notice Lucy was lying on my shoulder; curled up in a deep slumber.

I look at her with a smile and with a little cute chuckle. I kissed her forehead and whispered “Lucy Lou wakey wakey eggs are bakey”.  We chuckled, kissed, unbuckled and exit out of the Dodge. We started to head to the house. I wrapped my arm around her to keep her warm and she leaned in.

We got to the door, we waited for Kate and Harold to hurry their asses up. They finally came and we all entered the house.

“Mike, do you think something seems different about the house?” asked Kate. She sounded scared to be in our own home.

“No, I don’t think so. How about you Harold, do you think something feels off?” I replied. Lucy nudge me and gave me ‘seriously right now you have to bring it up I mean I snuck in the house too, not just my father, who was being with your mother’ type of look.

“Um..I don’t.. How about you Lucy? Don’t give me that look that you have never been in this house before either” Harold said to Lucy.

“Well, last time I have been here, it seemed to have a weird feeling, just like now. And yes, Dad, I know that you were here too. So, don’t give me that bullshit.” Lucy said with frustration.

I just chuckled, I look around the room to see if there’s anything different about it.

“When were you here last, Lucy?” Harrold asked.

“When were you here last?” Lucy countered.

“Yesterday, now answer me when were you here last?” Harold raised his voice a little to Lucy.

“Seven days ago. Why were you here?” Lucy questioned Harold.

“To see Kate. I guess seven days ago you were here to see Mike.” Harold answered.

“Correct, now this is what we are going to do. Kate, Harold, you guys go check out the basement and main floor. Me and Lucy will go check up upstairs and the attic to see why it seem different in here.” I mocked Fred from Scooby Doo.

Kate POV: -Main Floor-

“So, you got the kitchen, bathroom, entry, two guest bedrooms, walk in closet, living room, dining room, office. Which one do you want to hit first?” I asked Harold.

“Lets hit the kitchen first. Then I don’t know, we’ll see when gets to that point.” Harold replied

We got to the kitchen, all sudden I felt pressure. It’s weird though because I felt free in the kitchen. Some say I spend too much time in the kitchen but, how I like to see it is, I’m closer to the knives.

“Come back to earth, Kate. We are seeing why it seems different in this place.” Harold interrupted my thought and snapped his fingers in front of my face.

“Yeah right. I’ll get the left side and you get the right.” I told him with worry in my voice like in a scary but maybe funny movie.

I heard no answer from Harold and I just thought he is thinking about something very deep.

“Harold, you there? Don’t scare me. If you do you will regret it. Harold, Harold, Haro--” I screamed but all sudden I felt hand over my mouth and it smelled like something you will clean a gun with. I heard a scream, it sounded like Lucy, I tried to yell back but I felt the cold ground touch my skin and everything went black.

Kate’s dream

“Harold why did you leave me? You are just like every other guy out there. Once the woman is in trouble you leave or when us women need a shoulder to cry on you guys leave. You know why they leave because woman stick together and men think it is useless till something happen to you. And you know why I’m mad right now because I know the truth and you don’t. We are over, you can’t handle me and I can’t handle you. Just go think what you have done because every single man out there is and/or was a child.”

“Kate I can explain why I left please don’t leave me. I’m sorry. I’ll be there when you need a hand or shoulder to cry on, please don't leave me.”

“Too late you had your chance.” I got up and left and never looked back. Slammed the door and cried on the other side and I walked to my truck in tears.

Kate’s dream ends

I woke up freaking out, thinking what time is it? Did I really been here all night alone? Did Harold really left me here alone? Did me and him go in a fight and he left? Are we done even though we had a good years in our friendship?

“It’s 6:50 in the morning. So good morning Kate, so glad that you are awake I’ve been waiting” I remember the voice. “Are you not going to say anything. Like the old  Kate, you just sit on your fucking ass all the time and don’t speak! Can't believe me and you went out.” he stood up came towards me, I moved back towards the wall. Now I'm trapped.

I saw a hand coming towards me, I was ready for the pain that he gives me. There was not hit or kick or squeezing. He stuck his hand out to help to get up from the ground. I felt him picking me up like a child who wants to me picked up. I notice a smile, I let him help me up but, I'm still shocked who it is and what he has not done yet.

“Go freshen up and come back here and we are going to have a chat.” I started to leave the kitchen towards the bathroom. “Oh and Kate I miss you so much, I miss us, I still love you from the first day I met you till I die. I will never stop loving you.” I felt a tear go down my face but I turned away so he doesn't see it and I left for the bathroom.

I got to the bathroom. I was knocked out again. I noticed that who ever knocked me out, was the one who knocked me out and dragged me in the basement.
