I scream. I'm on the ground pulling leg away from the freak of a man. Axel picks up the pitch fork from the ground and sends it thought the skull of the old man. I jump up and grab a hold of him I begin to cry hugging him tightly he wraps his arms around he too breathing heavy. I pull my self together and pull away wiping my tears on his jacket.
" Thanks "
" Anytime " he says still breathing heavy.
" We got to get ride of him " I say pointing at what used to be a human being.
" Ok " he says grabbing his feet I grab his arms and we drag him to the water and throw him in.
We walk back up in silence. I give the secret nock.
'Bum-bum, bum-'
I didn't finish the nock when Sky flings the door open pulling me in a hugging me crying.
" I thought you were gone I heard a scream"
" Shhh. It's ok I'm here " I say stroking her blonde hair.
We all sit down and take a deep breath. We are bombarded with questions " how'd you survive ". "What happened". "Did you get it Axel ".
I need a break for a minute I got into the bathroom and brake down taking off his jacket my sweat shirt wearing only a tank top and scrub my hands. Then fall to the floor crying. I can never un-see that he was a neighbor, he was a human, he didn't deserve this.
I close my eye a rest my head on my knees hugging them.
I saw the old man with blood pouring from his head on the ground cold and dead. It would not get out of my head. I stand up and a wash my face off.
I hear a nock on the door.
I try to come as close as I can to pulling my self together take a deep breath and open it.
" Are you alright " it was Axel standing there.
" No " I say trying not to cry again.
I bending over and picking up his jacket and my hoodie and hand him his jacket.
" Here " I say with my arm stretch out.
He grabs on to my hand holding the jacket and looks me in the eyes.
" You know you can talk to me I was there too. I did save you life " he says smiling at me.
" I'm ok " I say lying
He gets closer to me and wraps his arms around me and I do the same. I wish I could stay like this forever safe in his arms.
